Let’s give out instant grades for the big moves at the 2025 NBA trade deadline.
The 2025 NBA trade deadline will forever be remembered for a deal that took place a few days before the buzzer. The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks completed the trade of the century by exchanging Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis over the weekend. The NBA has been on fire ever since, with Khris Middleton, Kyle Kuzma, Zach LaVine, and De’Aaron Fox all finding new homes, while the Mavericks made another questionable deal days after trading Doncic.

Proposed legislation in Illinois could prove problematic for Bears stadium hopes
Two Chicago-area sports teams, the Chicago Bears and the Chicago White Sox, are hoping to build new stadiums. The Bears are looking to construct a new $4.7 billion stadium just south of their current site at Soldier Field, and the White Sox are hoping to build a new stadium in the South Loop.

Let us take a trip back to the magical year that was 2011…
The Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton was watched around the globe, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 dominated the box office, and actor Charlie Sheen went full-blown cuckoo bananas.
All the while a certain very handsome OutKick writer (me; hi!) was in his freshman year of high school and getting shot down by the cute girl from his biology class on the dance floor at the King of Hearts dance.
Scottie Scheffler is on a run of form, both in terms of ball striking and results, that we haven’t seen since the prime Tiger Woods days. He has been the No. 1 ranked player in the world since November 2024 and has picked up eight PGA Tour wins, plus a gold medal, over the course of his last 20 starts.
