Guenther Steiner and company are looking for answers to this one critical question
Things are never dull in Formula 1.
This was supposed to be a quiet week off, following a back-to-back in Austria and Britain, and ahead of another back-to-back in Hungary and the Netherlands. But a thunderbolt from the clouds came down on Monday, with the shocking news that Daniel Ricciardo was coming back to the grid.
After just ten races, AlphaTauri and Red Bull had seen enough from Nyck de Vries.
Heat legend Dwyane Wade is set to be enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame next month in Springfield, Mass. and the three-time NBA champion has made his choice for who will present him at the ceremony.
Allen Iverson, as Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald revealed.
No, not LeBron James or Shaquille O’Neal, his two former All-Star running mates. It will be Iverson instead.
Big 12 Media Days took place in Arlington, Texas on Wednesday and it made for a one-in-a-lifetime photo. Although there may be other opportunities for the picture to occur naturally in the wild again, the exact image will never happen again.
As the Big 12 Conference enters its transitional 2023 year, it will move from 10 teams to 14. Texas A&M and Missouri moved to the SEC in 2012, which left the conference with less members than its billing.

Chet Holmgren is finally healthy, and he’s already showing how he can take the Thunder to the next level.
Chet Holmgren couldn’t help himself. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft was just months away from starting a highly anticipated rookie season when he showed up to Seattle to play in Jamal Crawford’s pro-am run. Paolo Banchero (the only player picked ahead of Holmgren in the draft) was playing, too. So were LeBron James and Jayson Tatum.

The Aces are historically great
The WNBA season has reached the halfway point—and one team is head and shoulders above the rest.
Legal issues between the NFL and Daniel Snyder’s representatives could delay the sale of the Commanders, according to The Washington Post. The Washington franchise announced in May that Snyder and his wife, Tanya, had agreed to sell the team to 76ers and Devils co-owner Josh Harris for a reported $6.05 billion.

There are a number of ways to view the Warriors’ addition of future Hall of Famer Chris Paul.
It’s possible that, at age 38 and coming off his worst shooting efficiency numbers in four seasons, he may not have enough left to elevate Golden State back to championship level; be it because of injuries or a lack of quickness at the point of attack.
