    2026 MLB Draft Pick Grades

    White Sox-Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA (B+) I personally think Cholowsky is hugely overrated. I don't think his power at the college level with translate well to the majors. He'll be a solid contact hitter and his glove will shine, but he won't quite live up to the 5-tool player the fans in the south si

    My Top 5 cities for MLB expansion

    MLB expansion is rumoured to be right around the corner, so here are my top 5 cities that I could see getting an MLB expansion team, starting with some honourable mentions! HM #1. Mexico City, Mexico. This is my true "wild card" of sorts. Now, this would most likely not happen, but Mexico has a stro

    Larry O’Brien Legends, Part 13: The King’s First Conquest

    When deciding a Legend for the Cavs, I asked myself a simple question: does LeBron have a playoff performance that hasn’t been talked about to death? To my shock, there is: his first one. I don’t need to tell you about LeBron’s origin story, if you have been following the NBA for more than a year, you definitely know it. Nevertheless, I will provide the cliff notes. LeBron James was the most hyped prospect in NBA history, full stop. His combination of peerless athleticism and supreme intelligence on the floor as a kid in high school had scouts drooling. He was the clear cut #1 choice in the legendary 2003 draft class, ultimately selected 1st overall by his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. He immediately lived up to the hype in his rookie season, putting up 21 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6 assists per game; granted, on poor efficiency. He immediately corrected that issue in year 2 and his averages jumped to 27, 7 and 7. Cleveland missed the playoffs in both seasons, but that finally changed in year 3. The King averaged 31, 7 and 7. It is the single highest scoring average of his illustrious career. Most importantly, it got Cleveland into the playoffs. This would be Lebron’s first playoff run ever, who was his first opponent? Despite finishing with the 6th best record in the NBA (3rd in the East), the Cavs couldn’t win their division and ended up as the 4th seed facing the 5th seed Washington Wizards. This is the Gilbert Arenas-Antawn Jamison Wizards. Agent 0 put up the highest scoring average of his career with 29 points per game to go along with 6 assists and 2 steals. Jamison chipped in with his own 20. Those 2 helped Washington finish 3rd in points per game and 6th in offensive rating. If LeBron was going to win his first playoff series, he would have to match their output. In game 1, LeBron’s playoff debut, he put up 32, 11 and 11 while leading Cleveland to a 97-86 win. A combination of an Arenas-bounce back and LeBron strugglefest (under 30% shooting) helped the Wizards win game 2. Don’t worry, this did not become a trend. LeBron dominated game 3 in Washington. He put up his first 40-point playoff game, including a close jump shot with 5 seconds left to win the game. He replicated it again in game 4, but he ‘only’ put up 38 and the Cavs lost to make this a best-of-3. Game 5 presented the fork in the road. It would become one of the best duels in playoff history. Gilbert Arenas put up 44 points on 58% shooting (67% from 3). Considering Jamison put up 32, you’d think that’d be enough to win. Unfortunately for them, LeBron put up 45, 7 and 6. The last of those 45 points was a game winning layup in the dying seconds. Although Arenas put up 36 in game 6, it wouldn’t matter. LeBron’s 32 plus 50+ points from the bench gave Cleveland the edge and cemented LeBron’s first ever playoff series win. The Cavs met the Goin to Work Pistons in round 2. Although the series went to 7, the Pistons would advance. Still, LeBron held up his end. 27, 9 and 6 are great numbers, even on below average shooting (44%). He just couldn’t beat the Pistons on his own. 27, 8 and 2 in game 7 are good numbers, but not enough to save a team when nobody else scores more than 10. For LeBron’s first playoff run, he was brilliant. He averaged 31, 8 and 6. Those 31 points per game are actually the 4th highest of his entire career, higher than each of his championship runs. Those averages were driven by 8 30-point games. It’s an amount he has surpassed just 5 times in his career. He is also the youngest to ever accomplish that feat. Of course you know the rest of LeBron’s story. He goes on to destroy that Pistons team in 2007, makes his first finals and goes on to have MANY more incredible playoff moments. I just find it fun to look back on how LeBron’s near-untouchable legacy as a Larry O’Brien Legend started by crushing the Wizards. Also, feel free to use this any time someone tries to make the BS “LeBron’s not clutch” argument. That shit was false from day 1.

    A beautiful full circle for the Vikings

    As if the Vikings couldn’t get any cooler. This was the 1st time in history that 3 sons of 3 former Norwegian World Cup players, played in the same match for Norway. Both matches were played in America. 1994 and 2026 just 32 years apart. And the cherry on top, is that this game was historic for Norway! The Vikings made their first-ever knockout stage appearance. First ever! “RO” 🚣

    Larry O’Brien Legends, Part 15: Stoicism Silences Critics

    Much has been said about Tim Duncan since his retirement, ironically more than the man himself has ever said about anything. I have great admiration for Timmy and one thing I can’t stand is the take that Duncan was never dominant. That is BS and you’re about to learn why. Tim Duncan was drafted first overall in 1997, 2 years later, he was named Finals MVP after the Spurs went 15-2 in the playoffs on their way to their first ever championship. While we think of that ring as the beginning of the Spurs’ empire today, at the time, it was ridiculed. If you think calling championships “fake” is a new thing, don’t be fooled. Even Phil Jackson himself was saying that the Spurs didn’t win a real championship because of the shortened season. The proceeding years after that ring didn’t helping. In 2000, Duncan got hurt and missed the playoffs, causing San Antonio to flame out to the Phoenix Suns in round 1. In 2001, the Spurs made it back to the conference finals, only to get swept by the Shaq-Kobe Lakers. Then, in 2002, Tim Duncan won MVP while leading a very weak roster (their 2nd best player was Bruce Bowen) to 58 wins, just to lose in the 2nd round, in 5 games, to the Lakers once again. As you can imagine, getting crushed by the Lakers made it easy to brush off the 1999 ring. They already didn’t benefit from media interpretation because everyone thought they were boring, especially Duncan. Jackson kept firing shots at the Spurs. Many believed Duncan shouldn’t have won the 2002 MVP. There was an easy way to prove all these critics wrong. In the 2002-03 season, Duncan won his 2nd MVP while leading the Spurs to 60 wins, the best record in the NBA, tied with the Mavericks. In round 1, the Spurs met the Phoenix Suns. Different from the 2000 squad, but still scrappy. They managed to steal game 1, only for Duncan and the Spurs to restore order and win in 6. Duncan averaged 19 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks. Good start. In round 2, they faced their most intimidating foe, the Shaq-Kobe Lakers. LA literally hadn’t lost a playoff series in the 21st century up to this point. It was fitting that they stood in the Spurs’ way. San Antonio won game 1 behind Duncan’s 28, 8 rebounds and 7 assists along with 15 points off the bench from a rookie named Manu Ginobili. Duncan only had 12 points in game 2, but part of that is because Duncan didn’t play in the 4th. The Spurs won by 19. The Lakers managed to win games 3 and 4 despite Duncan’s 28 and 36 points respectively, reminding everyone why they’ve been so hard to beat. Duncan stepped up to the challenge in game 5, propelling the Spurs to a dominant first half to give them an 18-point lead, then helping them hang on for the win, barely. Don’t worry, Duncan scored 37 in game 6, helped the Spurs win by 28 and finally slay their biggest playoff demon. After getting over that mountain, the Mavericks in the conference finals seemed like just a hill. Nevertheless, the Mavericks won game 1 despite Duncan’s 40-point game. Then the Mavs lost the next 3 as Duncan averaged 29 points, 20 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks (holy shit). The Spurs eventually won in 6, sending them back to the Finals. There they faced the New Jersey Nets led by Jason Kidd. The Spurs were the clear-cut favourite and proved it by winning game 1 behind Duncan’s 32. The Nets managed to win game 2 thanks to, no joke, 5 free throws in the last 20 seconds from Jason Kidd. The Spurs got back to their winning ways in game 3, just for New Jersey to scrap out a game 4 victory. They did something that no team should do, they made Timmy mad. Duncan put up 29 in a game 5 win and put up his greatest masterpiece in game 6. 21 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists and 8 blocks, a near-quadruple double. Some believe the scorekeeper took 2 blocks away from TD, robbing him of an even more historic performance. Though, I doubt Duncan cared, San Antonio were back on top and proved all their doubters wrong. 2003 Tim Duncan grabbed the most rebounds in a single playoff run ever with 369. 14 more than 2000 Shaq in 2nd place and nobody has grabbed 300 since Dwight Howard in 2009. His 79 blocks are the 2nd most ever, only behind Hakeem’s insane 1994. Duncan’s 593 points ranked 11th all-time at the time and 31st today. That may not sound impressive, but that number is actually ahead of some recent all-time runs, including Jimmy Butler in 2023 and Dirk in 2011. It also remains the best ever for a Spur. Most points, most rebounds, most blocks and 4th most assists. Don’t tell me that this man wasn’t dominant. If you somehow still don’t believe me, I have a stat for you that sounds fake. From 1997 to 2007, Tim Duncan averaged more points in the playoffs than Kobe Bryant (23.8 vs. 23.3). There was a time when Duncan was called too boring to be truly dominant. That belief has survived in niche corners of the internet, don’t let them fool you. Duncan became a Larry O’Brien Legend in 1999 and solidified his legacy in marble in 2003.

    No Quit in them

    Although Cabo Verde’s incredible run is over, they made history. They have become just the 2nd team in World Cup history to end their first ever campaign without a loss in 90 minutes. The other team was 1982 Cameroon who drew 3 times and crashed out of the group stage. Cabo Verde added a knockout game against the defending champs and very nearly took them to penalties on top of their 3 draws, including a draw against Spain, arguably the favourite coming in. Considering they were the 3rd smallest country to ever qualify and then became the smallest country to ever make it to the knockout stages, they have nothing to be ashamed off. Bravo Cabo Verde, Bravo

    Folarin Balogun was previously given a red card in the USAs game against Bosnia in the round of 32 that knocked him out of the round of 16 game against Belgium on Monday. But he’s red card has been suspended, he will be eligible for the Belgium game. He is the Untied States best attacker, this is a much needed break for the US. With Balogun back the country has even more faith that we can get this done and advance. Be delusional everyone! Let’s go USA!

    3 Wins For USA🇺🇸

    For the first time ever USA has won three games in one World Cup! USA started off their World Cup beating Paraguay 4-1, then beat Australia 2-0, and finally beat Bosnia in the round of 32 2-0 advancing to the round of 16 against Belgium. With only one loss in the qualifiers to Turkey, USA is looking extremely good with their total record being 3-1. Can they win another against Belgium?
