This team just can’t catch a break.
This season has been a nightmare for the White Sox. They’re tied for the third-worst record in the majors at 10–22. During one particularly terrible stretch last month, they lost 10 in a row and 15 out of 17. It was bad enough to inspire one of the most impressive sports radio rants you’ll ever hear. 
But things were looking up a bit this week. After earning a walk-off win over the Rays on Sunday, Chicago took the first two games of its series against the Twins on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Max would be a nightmare.
It’s Miami Grand Prix weekend, and naturally F1 is looking for interesting ways to tie in with a burgeoning U.S. audience. On Friday they imagined their top drivers as NFL quarterbacks, and this is a discussion we need to have.

There’s absolutely no doubt that these drivers are the greatest in the world in their field.

LeBron has been around for a long, long time.
LeBron James vs. Stephen Curry has been the matchup that has defined the NBA of the late 2010s. Their battles in the NBA Finals harbor some of the greatest moments in NBA history, and boast the greatest comeback in Finals history.
The two square off again in the 2023 NBA Playoffs as James’ Lakers face Curry’s Warriors, and before Game 2 of the series, NBA History posted a video of James talking about Curry after watching him play at Davidson.

For the second time in his career, Sam Presti is building a winner.
Few general managers get a second shot at building a contender after failing the first time. But Sam Presti isn’t just the general manager for the Oklahoma City Thunder. To Thunder fans, he’s the most important person in their franchise’s past, present, and future.
Thunder fans hate hearing this, but Presti squandered one of the most talented teams in the history of the NBA.

The Lakers and Warriors are tied at one game each in the NBA Playoffs—and if Golden State moves on, Green will be a big reason why.

General manager Scott Fitterer said the team will take it easy with Young, and the coaching staff will decide when he’s ready to take over as the starter.
“We’re going to rely on our coaches—Jim Caldwell, Frank Reich, Thomas Brown—to decide when it’s right,” Fitterer said, via ProFootballTalk. “We don’t have a timeline.

Before he was a one-year college star at Texas and one of the best NBA players ever, Durant decided to challenge himself for his senior season of high school. This is how a change of scenery helped him become the man he is today.
