While there are significant differences between the 3×3 game we’ve seen in FIBA and Olympic play, many of the stars have some degree of familiarity with the format.

Which linebacker should you sign in free agency?
It’s pretty rare we get off-ball linebackers taken high in the NFL Draft, and 2025 is no exception with none expected to be taken in the first round. Just a note, if you’re looking for pass-rushing outside linebackers, we covered them over here.
We polled a group of writers from around SB Nation to gather consensus rankings about the players.
We will remove players from the list as they re-sign with their current teams all the way up to the opening of free agency in March.

Now that the NFL is down to the Divisional Round of the playoffs, there are just eight teams and four games left in the tournament to ultimately decide which two teams will face off in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Feb. 9. As these postseason games grow in importance, so do the performances from all the superstars you know.

Here’s a big list of deserving NBA All-Star candidates, plus our picks for the players who should make the team.
It feels like the NBA is stocked with more elite talent than ever before. That’s going to lead to a lot of hard feelings as it relates to the 2025 NBA All-Star Game.
There are only 12 spots on the All-Star roster in the Eastern and Western Conference. Both the starters and the bench need to consist of two backcourt players and three front court players, with two Wild Card spots rounding out the rosters in each conference.
McCarthy had some flaws, but what he managed to get from his Dallas teams despite significant obstacles makes him look better than Jerry Jones.
Poor Victor Wembanyama can’t possibly live down this insane dunk by Ja Morant …
In one of the most athletic highlights you’ll see this week, Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant climbed the ladder and threw down a slam on Wembanyama, the San Antonio Spurs’ phenom.
Morant made Wemby look small with his remix of the famous Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan signature dunks — leaping over a defender and launching the ball from feet away, lasering through the nylon.
This would have been an all-time great dunk for Ja Morant over Wemby, but sadly it didn’t count.
Remember when Ja Morant said he wasn’t dunking anymore? So much for that. The Memphis Grizzlies star had his best dunk of the season against the Boston Celtics just days after that viral quote, and he’s continued attacking the basket all year. These days, Morant might prefer unleashing a 360 layup rather than going for the big slam, but he’s still capable of getting up with the best of them.
Chris Paul’s legendary hoops IQ was on full display again by forcing a Wemby vs. Zach Edey jump ball.
Chris Paul is a basketball mastermind. At age-39, Paul was brought to San Antonio over the summer to help shepherd second-year superstar Victor Wembanyama and attempt to return the Spurs to relevance. CP3 is having a tremendous season for a player his age, and it feels like it’s gone a little under the radar as LeBron James’ 40-year-old season has received widespread acclaim.
Joel Klatt has a suggestion to give the Army-Navy game the spotlight that it deserves after years of being buried at the end of the season.
The current format puts the contest between the two service academies in a week by itself at the end of the season, when most fans are focused on their team’s bowl games and the upcoming College Football Playoff.
And Klatt has a solution.
“I don’t think that we should have Army-Navy right after the conference championship games,” Klatt said on his show.
An Eagles fan went viral for going over the top with his atrocious behavior during a home game in Philly.
Days later, Ryan Caldwell, the Eagles fan, apologized for the footage of him berating a female Packers fan and calling her a “dumb c***” repeatedly.
The strong majority of sports fans agreed that this Eagles fan got what he deserved over his heinous tirade at the married Packers couple.
Play dumb games, you win dumb prizes.
On Wednesday, Caldwell spoke out regarding the video of him at Sunday’s Wild Card game at Lincoln Financial Field.
