Zion told us he would shock the world … but we didn’t think this is what he had in mind.
Yesterday, Zion Williamson announced that he was going to be a father. He and his significant other named Akheema announced the gender of the child on YouTube:
This led to many congratulations from everywhere on Twitter … except from one person.
Adult film actress Moriah Mills spent…quite a bit of time on Twitter discussing her romantic involvement with Williamson and her disappointment.
I hate you ..

Jimmy Butler consistently downplays the narrative that his offensive production increases during the NBA playoffs.
During the 2022–23 regular season, the Heat star averaged 22.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. In his four-year span with Miami, Butler has averaged 21.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists during the regular season.
But when it comes to the playoffs, Butler is averaging 27.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game this postseason and 24.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.
Win total projections are not perfect. You might remember the Seahawks’ line was set at 5.5 a season ago and they hit the over before their bye week. On the flip side, the total for the defending Super Bowl champion Rams was set at 10.5. They won five games.
So I’ll repeat, win totals are not perfect, but they are informative. They’re a huge help when it comes to grouping teams into tiers. There are the Super Bowl contenders — Chiefs, Eagles, Bills, Bengals, 49ers — each of whom is projected to win 10 or more games in 2023. Then there’s the large middle class in the 7.5-9.
Following an injury in the NFC Championship Game, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy’s availability for the start of the 2023-24 season came into question. The team let Jimmy Garoppolo walk in free agency. They still have Trey Lance and they added Sam Darnold in free agency.
Coming into this season, it seems the 49ers quarterback depth chart depends on Purdy’s health. And, according to reports, everything is going well for the former “Mr. Irrelevant.” Purdy had surgery this offseason to repair his injured UCL.
Arkansas’ Britton Wilson will try to win both the open 400 meters and the 400-meter hurdles at the same NCAA championship meet. It’s never been done before.
There is some good news from the Pac-12. John Canzano reported a verbal agreement is in place about a Grant of Rights among Pac-12 schools. For the uninitiated, that magical legal term essentially means that all members in a conference grant the rights to the conference office for the duration of the pact. A team could still leave the league after the agreement is signed, but the conference would still control their rights and a penalty would be ridiculous (the ACC’s penalty, for instance, has been estimated by industry sources up to $500 million).

Duncan Robinson is on fire in NBA Finals, and he’s letting his opponents know about it.
The Miami Heat appeared headed toward another loss in the 2023 NBA Finals as the fourth quarter of Game 2 began. Miami was down eight points on the road against the Denver Nuggets, a place where no road team had won so far in these playoffs.
But in the fourth quarter, Duncan Robinson seemed to decide that the Heat would not lose this game. For most of the playoffs, the Heat’s savior has been Jimmy Butler, their boisterous star guard, who averaged 37.
