NEWS: The NCAA has begun constructing a proposal for an NBA-style NIL apron system in college football & basketball.
Schools exceeding $25M would face scholarship cuts, $40M would trigger revenue penalties, and $55M could result in vacated wins and postseason bans.
ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins – 14-year NBA veteran and 2008 champion – has agreed to become the men's basketball General Manager of HBCU Jackson State, as well as a connection to its broadcast and journalism program, per Perkins: "I'm thankful for this opportunity to impact young lives and pour back into my community."
Jalen Brunson is now the first player in NBA history to win Finals MVP, Conference Finals MVP, and NBA Cup MVP.
In just one season, he became a Knicks legend.
Imagine drafting both of them in the same draft
Deciding you want neither of them
Only getting one 1st rounder, 29 games of Anthony Davis, and Max Christie in return
Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has signed a shoe endorsement contract with Chinese company Li-Ning -- a landmark 10-year deal, sources tell ESPN. Li-Ning extends his Curry Brand venture globally and encompasses basketball products, athleisure, the ability for Curry to sign athletes under his brand, and a full golf line.
If we don’t SUPPORT our own, who will?
The Black Coaches Association proudly congratulates both NBA Finals head coaches, Mike Brown and Mitch Johnson.
History will be made as two Black head coaches meet on basketball’s biggest stage in the 2026 NBA Finals.
This opportunity has only happened a handful of times in NBA history, making this moment even more significant for the game and for the next generation of coaches who aspire to lead at the highest level.
No matter the outcome, one thing is certain:
A Black head coach will be crowned NBA Champion.
We celebrate the leadership, resilience, preparation, and excellence that both coaches have displayed throughout their journeys.
Good luck to Coach Brown and Coach Johnson.
They WIN. WE WIN. ✊🏾🏆

Caitlin Clark explaining what it really means to be a great teammate.
"The amount of points you score doesn't really determine whether you're playing good or bad."
"Even if I don't shoot the ball well, I can still play well and perform well."
"Your point total is never the indicator of how you play."
You can always control your effort and your attitude.
Then she defined what actually matters:
"How hard do you work? How good of a teammate are you?"
"Maybe you don't even score a point, but your plus-minus is the best on the team. That just shows how much you're affecting the game when you're in."
You don't have to score to be a great teammate.
Choose to own your role, work hard and support others.
