When the American public thinks of basketball shoes, Skechers is hardly the first brand that comes to mind.
Just take a look at Wikipedia’s list of athletes with whom the company has been associated over the years: Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw, Hall of Fame boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, former quarterback Tony Romo and 2022 U.S. Open champion golfer Matt Fitzpatrick—a lot of big names, but none on the hardwood.
On Wednesday, the company reportedly took steps to change that.

1986 World Series Champion Lenny Dykstra joined OutKick’s Dan Dakich on the latest edition of the Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich.
The Philadelphia Phillies are two wins away from a second-straight World Series appearance after a dominant performance in Game 2 of the NLCS in which they defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks by a score of 10-0.
The 2023 iteration of the team has a lot of personality, and so, Dakich asked if any of the current Phillies would fit in on Dykstra’s ’86 Mets, a team known for having a lot of… um… personality as well.
The Jets’ Mecole Hardman experiment is coming to an early end. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, New York is trading Hardman back to the Chiefs in a deal involving a late-round draft swap.
New York will send Hardman and a 2025 seventh-round pick to Kansas City for a 2025 sixth-round pick, Schefter reports.
Hardman had only joined the Jets this offseason after spending the previous four seasons in Kansas City. In 2023, he has one reception on three targets and had featured on just 10% of New York’s offensive snaps.
A week ago, when Lakers coach Darvin Ham’s comment made waves, it was clear why his remarks drew so much attention.
Ham, who leads a team that improved its depth and three-point shooting prowess perhaps more than any other NBA club this offseason, had said he’d like for superstar Anthony Davis—who’s hit less than 24% of his threes over the past three seasons—to take six triples per game.
Even with Davis’s unsightly 25.7% mark from deep last season, he still managed to shoot 56.3% from the field overall.
James Harden was not at 76ers’ practice on Wednesday as he continues to angle for a trade out of Philadelphia.
After practice, star center Joel Embiid spoke to reporters, who asked him about Harden’s absence. Embiid didn’t spend too much time discussing his truant teammate, suggesting that he perhaps had others matters to attend to.
Embiid indicated that Harden had been at practice of late, but said that it was possible something had come up which caused his absence on Wednesday.
“I didn’t know if anything was going on, because, you know, he’s been here.

Koepka appears to be over trying to help Smash GC teammate Matt Wolff ahead of the LIV Golf finale in Miami.
The controversy surrounding Matthew Wolff and his spot on LIV’s Smash GC has been one of the biggest topics of discussion. Smash captain and one of the biggest names in LIV Golf, Brooks Koepka, has apparently had enough.
Not many know exactly what is happening behind the scenes, but the 2023 PGA Championship winner addressed the situation with the media ahead of LIV Golf’s season finale in Miami.
“I’ve tried.
The Los Angeles Dodgers won 100 games in 2023, their fourth consecutive full season of 100 wins or more. But for the third time in those four years, they went home without winning a postseason series.
This postseason felt especially disappointing though, with the Dodgers never once ending an inning with a lead in the process of being swept by an 84-win Arizona Diamondbacks team. Despite winning the 2020 World Series just a few years ago, pressure has continued to mount on baseball operations president Andrew Friedman and general manager Brandon Gomes.
Phil Mickelson has warned the PGA Tour that there will “undoubtedly” be another exodus of the circuit’s players to the LIV Golf League, regardless of the ongoing merger negotiations with the Public Investment Fund (PIF). And Ian Poulter believes that the same will apply to the DP World Tour, as well.
Watson confirmed he has a rotator cuff injury and clarified some previously unclear details.
Troubling, idiotic, stupid, and any synonym of those words have been used to describe the past year and change for Ja Morant and his decision-making. While those adjectives are more than fair to use, especially from a 30,000-foot view, locally in Memphis the word many have adopted to describe the situation is disappointing.
Sadly, disappointing seems to have become the catchphrase for the city of Memphis. From an undeniable increase in crime and incompetent city officials who can’t get out of their own way, the city I call home has been over-served disappointment.
