Nick James

Barring injury, Evan Mobley will have a better career than Dirk Nowitzki and will deliver a title to the City of Cleveland

4h15 of the best cricket you’ll see

There’s no way this clown can be coaching next season. What the hell eas that

When my obituary is written one day, go ahead and put “got ESPN to switch their NBA box score format back with a single tweet” at the very top. Be the change you want to see in the world.

@leighdiffey @Olympics @AtoBoldon @NBCOlympics @NBCSports Apologise pal

I’m very lucky to have this legend as my teammate & friend to call the @Olympics 100m Men’s final with. He won two Olympic medals in the 100 and two in the 200. His energy level has gone up about 1000% bc it’s the 100 today 🤣 THE @AtoBoldon 👌 @NBCOlympics #Paris2024 @NBCSports

The Los Angeles Lakers are selecting Bronny James with the No. 55 pick in the 2024 NBA draft, sources say. LeBron and Bronny James to become the first ever father-son duo to be in the NBA at the same time.

The top playoff seeds should be rewarded with the ability to choose their 1st round opponent. Intentional losing to drop a spot for a matchup isn’t as exciting as teams competing to win for homecourt AND their choice of an opponent. It should matter the Knicks just beat the Bulls while the Bucks lost and the Cavs had no interest in winning to get the 2nd seed. Instead many Knicks fans are disappointed they will end up with the Heat or Sixers from the play-in. This makes no sense. It doesn’t have to be this way. Winning should be all that matters. The NBA used to allow G League teams to choose their playoff opponent. Clearly, there’s interest. Here’s how this could work using the East as an example with the Sixers and Heat advancing from the play-in: 1. Celtics choose Magic 2. Knicks choose Pacers 3. Bucks choose Heat 4. Cavs end up with Sixers The NBA could make an event out of this. Imagine the debates over who the Celtics should pick. There’d be surprise choices every year. Would the Bucks pick the team that beat them last year or Doc’s old team? It’d be incredible. Same for the West. The race for the #1 seed would matter so much more with the bottom of the playoff bracket so loaded. But instead we’ll see teams intentionally losing those games again for seeding. Because incentives matter. Homecourt has proven to be not enough for teams to value winning from October through April. Under this proposed system: - 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seeds get to choose their opponent in order, plus get homecourt for one or more rounds - 4th seed gets homecourt in at least the first round - 5th and 6th seeds get a guaranteed playoff spot - 7th and 8th seeds have to win only one play-in game - 9th and 10th seeds get a chance but must win two play-in games This is a no-brainer. Rivalries would form because of teams choosing an opponent. The league could make an event of that process. It makes the regular season matter far more since seeding would have such significant implications compared to now. Fans are the big winners here with a more entertaining league to follow. The NBA needs to make this change.

40,000 points might never happen again in the NBA. What a moment

@BenFriggi @WayneDaniell1 @superfooty 99 games through his first 5 seasons Ben. De Goey played 88 in his first 5, and Moore played 71. I’d say Walshy is tracking okay. You also seem a little too excited by a player getting injured

@WayneDaniell1 @superfooty How does one have soo many issues with his back? He is only 22!

Carlton's opening round preparations have suffered a big blow. 👉 LATEST: rebrand.ly/4vd9e33

@thaylock @VicBookmaker this is a better ball than that other one

As I said last week, a disgraceful cash grab. Organisers doing their best to ruin the tournament

There simply aren’t enough matches on, so even qualifiers playing on outside courts are at capacity. Really disappointing cash grab by the organisers, hopefully they fix it for next year.

Been coming to the first round of @AustralianOpen for a number of years, but never had such an awful experience like I have today. Spreading the first round over 3 days obviously means that there are less games on each day. This has made it IMPOSSIBLE to get a seat anywhere.

What a disgrace

As an OKC fan, it’s tough seeing how cast all the old squad is. This is so accurate though

HELP ME PLEASE. A MAN NEEDS HIS NUGGS

Giants paying Jones 40m per year, and Tyrod is genuinely better. Great throw there

I've always cut the umpires some slack when it comes to the Brownlow, but last night was honestly embarrassing. The voting needs a complete overhaul

@jamesvear Settle down Veary! He’s kicked 4 goals in 3 weeks, playing as a permanent forward in a side that’s scored 100+ each week in that span. He’s been solid, but not doco worthy

How’s the resilience from Ginnivan. Has played majority of the season in the VFL. Looks likely not to play finals and then comes out and plays the way he did the last 3 weeks. Can’t be dropped now. #afl

The Suns will probably escape criticism for this, but they deserve heat for the disgraceful mismanagement of Weller’s injury. Rushed back into the AFL side on full minutes, 9 months after doing his ACL. Now he needs another reconstruction, surprise surprise…

I cannot believe India is allowed to wear these uniforms in Test cricket (well, I can actually!). The blue Adidas stripes on the shirts and trousers are totally unacceptable in Test cricket. You wear that shirt in a press conference or on the team bus.
