The four-game sweep clinched the Panthers their first Stanley Cup Final berth in 27 years.

Twins relief pitcher Jhoan Duran only faced three Giants batters on Wednesday, but he went viral for multiple pitches he threw while on the mound.
For starters, all but two of Duran’s 13 pitches hit at least 100 mph, with three of them reaching 104 mph, which was the first time a pitcher has touched that speed during the 2023 season, according to MLB.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes captured his second Super Bowl title this past season, quickly cementing himself among the great signal callers in NFL history.
This upcoming season will be Mahomes’s seventh as a professional, but with two Super Bowl rings already in tow, many fans of the game are wondering just how many he will rack up by the time it’s all said and done.

Fresh off securing a berth in the NBA Finals for the first time, Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray is enjoying the finest stretch of his career. With that success comes added attention—and, in today’s opinion-driven sports media landscape, a chance to divulge his hottest sports takes.
The topic of the day: Who are the five best players in NBA history?
In his top five, Murray included two active players—including one he just dispatched in the Western Conference Finals—in LeBron James and Stephen Curry. His other three have 15 NBA titles between them.
