The New York Liberty might have just gotten better… again.
If I had to bet on a player in the 2024 WNBA Draft that we wind up looking back on in half a decade and saying “How did she fall out of the lottery?” about, New York Liberty rookie Marquesha Davis would be my pick.
Davis snuck under the radar this season as Ole Miss dealt with numerous injuries that forced them to play without a traditional point guard for almost the entire season.

Newly crowned MVP Nikola Jokic earned his fourth All-NBA first-team selection on Wednesday and was joined by repeat first-teamers Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jayson Tatum.

Toronto has been awarded the WNBA’s first franchise outside the United States, with the expansion team set to begin play in 2026.

Caitlin Clark had 21 points in her best all-around game as a pro in Wednesday’s 85-83 loss to the Storm and said she’s confident the Fever’s “first win will be right around the corner.

Kyrie Irving scored 24 of his 30 in the first half and Luka Doncic had 15 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter to help the Mavericks take Game 1 over the Timberwolves.

Fine, I’ll say it – NASCAR looks so, so dumb today. Well, actually, I don’t know. 
Maybe dumb isn’t the right word. Petty (not Richard!)? Hypocritical? Two-faced? I guess one of those will work. I’ll let y’all decide which to use. It’s a free country. 
After spending days and days aaaaaand days promoting the hell out of Sunday’s viral fight between Ricky Stenhouse Jr., his daddy, and Kyle Busch, NASCAR levied a whopper of a fine on RSJ late yesterday to the tune of $75,000. 
Huh? Come again? I don’t get it, and I’m not alone.

The Indianapolis 500 is upon us, folks. It’s the meat smack-dab in the middle of the sandwich that is the greatest day in motorsports (the bread consists, of course, of the Monaco Grand Prix and the Coca-Cola 600).
I think the Indy 500 is my favorite race of the year. The history, the tradition, the speed; it just doesn’t get any better.
It’s one of the great events not just in racing or sports but in the United States, and if you have the opportunity to make the pilgrimage to Indianapolis Motor Speedway some year, you’ve got to do it.

The Cavaliers dismissed coach J.B. Bickerstaff on Thursday after five seasons.

Caitlin Clark is playing better, and her Indiana Fever are at least losing closer games.
The numbers continue to thrive in rare air on television and attendance, as if she was still barnstorming the Midwest and beyond as an Iowa Hawkeye the last two seasons.
But there is one number Clark cannot digest.
The Indiana Fever, who picked her first in the WNBA Draft last month, are 0-5 for the worst record in the WNBA after an 85-83 loss at the Seattle Storm late Wednesday night in front of 18,343 – the largest crowd ever for a WNBA game in Seattle. 
Seattle has had a WNBA team since 2000.

Those $40 service charges are coming under fire from the federal government.
In a move that primarily has consequences for music, but could also bleed into the world of sports, the Department of Justice announced Thursday that it was moving forward with a lawsuit against Ticketmaster and parent company Live Nation Entertainment.
The source of the suit is what the government asserts is a significant breach of antitrust law, with the companies working in concert to dominate the live event industry at the expense of performers, venues and artists.
