Just because your old man is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer doesn’t mean the typical dynamics of an older brother/younger brother relationship go out the window. Just ask Bronny and Bryce James.
Bronny was showing off his dunking skills at Powerade JamFest, a place for some of the best high school basketball players in the nation to congregate ahead of the McDonald’s All-American Game.

The Boilermakers center rebuked former Indiana coach Dan Dakich’s claim.
With the recent uptick of player movement in college basketball, many fans are inclined to believe any rumors surrounding the transfer portal no matter how big the name.
That fact made itself abundantly clear Tuesday morning, as speculation surrounding Purdue center Zach Edey spread like wildfire before the man himself stepped in to shut them down.
“My people are telling me Zach Edey is in the transfer portal,” former Indiana coach and frequent provocateur Dan Dakich said on Twitter.

The two-time World Cup champion hasn’t played with the squad since the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
Ahead of the United States women’s national team’s upcoming friendlies against Ireland next month, a surprising but welcome name appeared on group’s latest roster: two-time World Cup champion Julie Ertz.
Ertz, who last played for the USWNT at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, was named to Vlatko Andonovski’s final 26-player training camp roster on Tuesday. The group will make up the last roster before the final squad for the 2023 World Cup is revealed in the coming months.

The season begins Thursday and we’re picking winners for Giants-Yankees, Mariners-Guardians and White Sox-Astros.
We’re going to be giving out a lot of MLB bets this season, and those bets will rely upon a lot of data, trends, sabermetrics and patterns that develop as the season progresses.
Today, however, we’re going to go a little bit more with our gut.
It’s Opening Day, and it’s time to rely on a little instinct (and maybe just a little data, too).
In continuing our successful tradition from last season, today we are only going to take bets that pay plus-money.

PHOENIX — You know the Aaron Rodgers story has hit critical mass when paparazzo pictures of the future New York Jets quarterback drinking coffee are purchased by the New York Post and it turns out to be a good investment because the “story” becomes the second-most clicked item in the newspaper’s sports section.
You know the Rodgers drama is a national thing when Packers coach Matt LaFleur, surrounded by local and national reporters at his breakfast interview session Tuesday, was asked a question about the team’s long snapper competition.

The 26-year-old former All-Star played in 42 games for the team this year after missing all of 2021–22.
Ben Simmons last appeared for the Nets on Feb. 15, in a win over the Heat, missing the last six weeks with a knee and back issues. Now, his season has officially come to a close, according to Brooklyn coach Jacque Vaughn. 
After hinting at the move over the weekend, Vaughn told reporters Tuesday that the team’s major 2022 acquisition has been ruled out for the rest of the year, as the Nets prepare for the postseason.

Miami may be one of the better destinations for stay-cationers anywhere.
The Miami Hurricanes basketball team, for example, had nine of those stay over from the 2021-22 season through the 2022-23 season. And they have earned a trip to the Final Four in Houston for it. Only eight of the other 363 Division I basketball schools have that distinction.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has no interest in replacing Jared Goff.
Goff and the Lions had a surprisingly solid 9-8 season last year. Despite missing the playoffs, Goff put up huge numbers, and the Lions were a very good team in the back end of the season.
Despite speculation since Goff was traded to the Lions about how long he’d hang around, Campbell isn’t in a rush to dump him.
In fact, Dan Campbell loves what he sees out of the former first overall pick.
