@espnSteveLevy Unbelievable how boring the game has become

[Greg A. Bedard @GregABedard]

I'm all in on this

[Jamie Morrison @CoachMoBettah]

@JoeyMurr Shots fired

@_TyAnderson Do the Avs wear the Nordiques jersey that night?

Sonny Gray ends his first half with a 2.54 ERA in 95.2 innings. A travesty that he's not an All-Star.

[Jon Heyman @JonHeyman]

The most egregious All-Star snub has to be the starter who is 10-1 for a last place team, with a 2.61 ERA. The great oxymoron Sonny Gray should be in Philly.

It's the first time we've had two 100F days total in a year since 1952. First back to back since 1944. #wbz

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

It’s hard to imagine the @celtics without @FCHWPO.

Thank you, Jaylen, for everything you gave to Massachusetts — on the court, in our communities and for the next generation of young people who look up to you.

You’ll always have a home in Boston.

With Jaylen Brown trade, seems like #Celtics aren't about winning https://t.co/QaXvYeeLPy via @BostonGlobe

[Jamie Morrison @CoachMoBettah]

@GoodmanHoops @TheFieldOf68 That’s a bit of a false narrative because everyone is going to be saying what an absolute steal for the Sixers so everybody recognizes Brown’s value. Folks can’t have it both ways.

[Trevor Hass @TrevorHass]

Jaylen Brown isn’t a perfect player, but I personally thought he was under-appreciated throughout his Celtics career. He was the second best, or arguably even the best, player on a title team and consistently delivered in key moments. He was also a fixture in the community and has improved the lives of countless kids. He’ll be missed, on and off the court.

[Jamie Morrison @CoachMoBettah]

The Robinson and Conley signings are head scratchers now. Why bring in those guys when you’re clearly out of the top 3 in the east now, never mind the league.

[Jamie Morrison @CoachMoBettah]

@GoodmanHoops No way Brad wanted to do this trade. This had to come from ownership

[Jamie Morrison @CoachMoBettah]

Is John Henry now running the @celtics ?

[Jamie Morrison @CoachMoBettah]

@GoodmanHoops Clearly we know we got the wrong ownership group. There is no way Brad wanted to do this. Disgusting

[Jamie Morrison @CoachMoBettah]

Celtics are spineless. This window is closed. Picked the wrong ownership group.

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.

She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.

Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.

Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.

Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.

She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.

By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

@T_Mulherin 7-3 Milton bottom 6

[Dylan Thayer @DylanThayer0]

Aaron Nkrumah’s a really good story out of Worcester right now.

Played at South HS in Worcester, before doing a postgrad year at Marianapolis. Spent a semester at Nichols, then transferred to Worcester State.

At Worcester State, Nkrumah was the 2023-2024 MASCAC Player of the Year, averaging 16.9 points per game.

From there, he transferred to Tennessee State.

In two years at TSU, Nkrumah has excelled.

Year 1: 10.9 points per game, 5.3 rebounds per game, 3 assists per game.

In Year 2, he improved his numbers immensely.

17.7 points per game on 43.8% from the field (+4.1% from first year), 35.1% from three (+7.6% from first year), led the Tigers to an NCAA Tournament berth, and named the Player of the Year in the Ohio Valley Conference.

This past weekend, he really stood out at the G League Combine with his two-way skills, and impressive combine results, 6’5” w/o shoes & a 6’10+” wingspan.

Following that, he was invited to participate in this week’s NBA combine in Chicago which begins today.

Perseverance, showing out at the D3 level in his home city, excelling in the OVC, and now making noise as a potential NBA draft pick next month.
