The Finals are finally here and some of the league’s biggest stars are vying to take home the Larry O’Brien Trophy for the first time.

Since signing a massive five-year contract extension to remain the head coach of the UConn Huskies women’s basketball team, head coach Geno Auriemma is making the media rounds. One of the biggest topics of discussion? Caitlin Clark and the WNBA, of course.
Given that Auriemma knows Clark well from her four years in college hoops, including losing to her and the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Final Four, it’s a natural discussion topic. 
Plus, Auriemma knows the landscape of women’s basketball better than almost anyone else.

NFL fans haven’t connected with the league’s attempts at catering to the woke crowd, namely including the “Black National Anthem” as part of pre-game festivities. 
And the reasoning is simple: not bent on hate or racism, as leftist pundits would like you to believe. …
Why add a separate national anthem when our existing national anthem represents all Americans?
People are calling out the black national anthem’s redundancy, including former ESPN pundit Sage Steele, who dubbed it a “ridiculous” idea by the NFL.

Which team will raise the Larry O’Brien Trophy? Our experts make their picks for the Finals and the series MVP.

Canadian Adam Hadwin holds an early lead at the Memorial, and feels confident going into the final 54 holes.
At last year’s Memorial Tournament, Adam Hadwin quickly went from being a contender to a pretender.
He opened with a 3-under 69 at Jack’s Place but stumbled with a 7-over 79 on day two to miss the cut by one. He shot a 6-over 42 on the front-nine on that fate-sealing Friday, thanks to a triple bogey at the 3rd and a double at the par-4 9th.

Viktor Hovland’s first event since the PGA Championship is off to a strong start.
He fired off a 3-under 69 Thursday at The Memorial Tournament, the event he won a season ago.
But Hovland remained in contention thanks to a superb par-save at the par-3 12th, which proved to be one of the most significant moments of the day. It kept his momentum alive as he added his final two birdies at 13 and 14.

There are a lot of bad teams in baseball right now but none of them are as deeply entrenched in the mud as the Chicago White Sox are right now.
Earlier this week, I talked about how the Houston Astros were stuck in a mighty struggle and relatively uncharted territory when compared to the lofty standard that they’ve set as a franchise. While being in the mud may be a bit of a new development for the Astros, one team that is used to experiencing this lowly position in baseball life is the Chicago White Sox.
