LIV Golf is scrambling amid Saudi funding questions. Will the kingdom’s stake in other sports last?

This is interesting, in part because of a sport NOT mentioned: basketball.

I have to think a part of the NBA’s foray into Europe is to land a level of PIF investment not *currently* allowed domestically?

Nah they can leave that in Vegas.

I kinda hoped to hear Charlotte in a game that mattered. Atlanta was fun in the ‘21 ECF

The nastiest CJ McCollum victory over the Bucks this season wouldn’t be the game winners with Washington or the (effectively) season ender with Atlanta - but knocking the Knicks out in the first round so Jimmy Dolan fires & trades everything not nailed down + The Sphere for Giannis…

😂

Ah Mamu was NOT part of the championship team! But he is seemingly good now! 😂

So, I’m pretty sure this helps the #Bucks keep their own pick in the upcoming draft: The New Orleans Pelicans (26-56) won a tiebreaker with the Dallas Mavericks today, via the NBA.

I saw this! Finally!

If I beat my dad off the dribble in backyard one-on-one he’d tug on the bottom of my shorts every so often when I went for a layup & I’d just brick that thing every time.

Watching @howardbeck.bsky.social try to explain the NBA cup final - non-65-game rule awards - all other awards on @bsky.app, a sports app!.

… and also COUNT THE STATS. Like the play-in!!

It’s one of the strangest nonsensical self-owns I’ve ever seen a league perform.

Er, sort of. Not entirely. When NBA/NBPA agreed on 65-game rule, as part of the 2023. they decided to exempt Rookie of the Year and Sixth Man. (Clutch Player, which the NBA created outside of the CBA, is also exempt.)

The numbers don't show just how close Jacob Misiorowski may be to dominating Jacob Misiorowski has an ERA just north of 3.00 and leads MLB in strikeouts, but he's been even better than those numbers say

"He could be deGromish."

Jacob Misiorowski is closer to dominating based on his first five starts than you may realize.

No

And... Grievance Season is officially underway!

Very encouraging to see NBA awards outrage on @bsky.app. This is how we know #NBASky is for real.

#Bucks guard Ryan Rollins is NOT a finalist for Most Improved Player.

🤨

To me, this is why the play-in was a great idea. Historically, 1-8 & 2-7 matchups are turrible … we got some fun high stakes hoops beforehand though ..

The last player to “walk away” from a supermax was James Harden in Brooklyn. He’s been chasing that money ever since & will never get it all back.

I’m confident saying NO player will walk away from a supermax/max extension offer.

1. He never gave them “assurances” in 2020 or 2023.
a) but he basically did in Philly

2. He’s not not signing a max extension when it’s offered.

No such thing as “enough” money …

Wait - Best of 5 worked?
😏
I mean if they include first round playoff losers in the lottery 3-0 is basically “ended” … I can’t see a team trying to get that gentleman’s sweep by trying extra desperately in G4…

Kinda like the #Bucks trading first round picks - you really want them MAKING that pick? Or trade it for a
proven commodity at a position of need?

take the wrong lesson from a movie:

If I break nearly all my golf clubs and never lay up, I too can qualify for the U.S. Open.
