Stephen A. Smith knew before his beloved Knicks took the floor for Game 6 against the Heat on Friday night inside the Kaseya Center that New York faced a difficult task of defeating Miami to force a winner-take-all Game 7 at Madison Square Garden.

The NFL draft is one of the most important days of the calendar for both players and their agents.
And one agent allegedly had a brilliant plan to ensure that his players received preferential treatment in the draft.
According to ESPN, the NFL Players Association is investigating agent David Canter for his conduct during around last month’s draft.
What did Canter allegedly do to justify an investigation?

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins accomplished a rare feat Friday night.
Mullins, who in 2021 contributed nearly 6 WAR during a 30 homer, 30 steal season, hit for the cycle against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Mullins roped a single to right field in the third inning, before crushing a triple into the right center field gap in the fifth.
In the seventh, Mullins pulled a double down the right field line, before crushing an eighth inning homer to complete the cycle.

The former All-Star capped it off with a homer in the eighth inning.
