More anime in sports>>>
It’s no secret that New Orleans Saints RB Jamaal Williams loves anime.
In fact, he told reporters last year when he was with the Detroit Lions that all he does is watch anime all day. Athletes really are just one of us.
“I don’t watch TV. I watch anime all day.”

When Aaron Rodgers was finally traded to the Jets in April, it was the final straw of a turbulent relationship between he and the Packers front office dating back to the 2021 offseason.
During the ’20 campaign, Rodgers earned his third NFL MVP award after leading Green Bay to a 13–3 record and an NFC North title. However, the Packers fell one game shy of earning a spot in the Super Bowl LV after losing to the Buccaneers in the NFC Championship game.
After a 9–8 campaign in 2021 that ended with a lopsided defeat in the wild-card round, the Eagles broke out in a big way last season, flirting with an undefeated record and winning the NFC before a heartbreaking 38–35 loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. With a strong core returning for next season, should we expect similar success this fall for Philadelphia?
According to Sports Illustrated senior writer Conor Orr, it might be time to pump the brakes.
With 100 days left until the 2023 season kicks off, Orr marked the occasion with 100 bold predictions for the year.
After a brutal Game 7 loss to the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals, the Celtics’ coaching staff might look significantly different next season.

Roman’s shine is rubbing off
No one has benefited more than Roman Reigns from The Bloodline story line.
Over the past three years, Reigns has cemented himself as an all-time great. He is long removed from the period in time when he was forced upon viewers, instead earning his place as the very top star in the industry.
When Reigns speaks, we listen. His matches are always tense and gripping.
Both franchises had a unique road to constructing a potential championship roster. Here’s a look at the history of how their starting fives were formed.
Ron Holland, the No. 2 recruit for 2023 who decommitted for Texas in April, is joining the G League Ignite. He is No. 6 in ESPN’s 2024 NBA draft rankings.
The Nuggets and Heat will meet for Game 1 of the NBA Finals in Denver on Thursday. The Nuggets, a 53-win team during the regular season, have mowed down the opposition en route to the first Finals appearance in franchise history. Miami, the No. 8 seed that survived an elimination game in the play-in tournament to advance, will play in its second Finals in the last four years.
Sports Illustrated asked a veteran NBA coach to weigh in on some of the key questions in this series.
Denver took the regular season series against Miami, 2–0.
The Nuggets are in the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history and they’ve been installed as sizable favorites over the Heat, who have played on this stage before, most recently in 2020.
This is the sixth time coach Erik Spoelstra has led Miami to the Finals. Bringing a No. 8 seed this far is no small feat — the 1999 Knicks are the only other team to do so and they ended up losing in five games. Denver winning in five games is the most likely outcome, according to the betting odds.
The Nuggets were the No.

Before the NCAA tournament, he won the Ben Hogan Award, becoming the second golfer ever to take home back-to-back titles. Jon Rahm is the only other player to have achieved this feat.
