JUST IN: Mississippi State has its first bullpen piece out of the portal as South Carolina RHP Zach Russell tells me he has committed.

Russell throws 93-96 with a sinker/cutter mix that got 40 groundouts in 32.0 innings. Had a 2.53 ERA as one of USC's best arms.

“There’s nothing better than coming into the game with a guy or two on base in a close game and getting your team off the field. It’ll be awesome to do it with that program and in front of that fanbase."

@Super70sSports After Sixers beat @celtics in 1983 playoffs I was glad Dr. J finally won a ring in 1983 NBA Finals against the Lakers!!!!

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

The only men good enough to prevent Magic or Larry from winning a ring between 1980 and 1988.

[Larry Legend☘️ @LarryBirdDaily]

Most guys chased MVPs. He chased championships..

Larry Bird said it himself: if he played up to his potential, the team would win. That was the standard. Not stats. Not attention. Not numbers. Winning.

Different mindset. If you watched that era, you already know. Larry Legend forever. ☘️

MIKE DUNLEAVY

Michael Joseph Dunleavy Sr. was born March 21, 1954 in Brooklyn, New York. His primary education was at Holy Cross and then attended Nazareth Regional High School in Brooklyn. There he had an oustanding scholastic career and earned a scholarship to the University of South Carolina, where he played under lkegendary coach Frank McGuire.

Drafted in the sixth round of the 1976 NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers, the 6'3" 180 lb. guard played for them for one full season along with Hall-of-Fame teammate Julius Erving and reaching the finals in a losing effort against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Dunleavy then split the following season between Philadelphia and the Houston Rockets after being traded mid-season. Houston made the finals, and this time Dunleavy played a large role for his team in the series, including scoring a game-high 28 points to help lead the Rockets to a Game 4 win, but still his team lost, bowing to the Boston Celtics.

Dunleavy remained in Texas after leaving Houston for the 1982–83 season, spending that season with cross-state rival San Antonio Spurs. After two seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks he retired due to chronic back pain. His best season as a player was with Houston in 1980–81, when he averaged 10.5 points per game and started on a team that played in the NBA Finals.

In 1987, he joined the Milwaukee Bucks as an assistant coach. In 1988–89 and 1989–90, while an assistant coach with the Bucks, he helped as a player for two and five games respectively.
Mike Dunleavy reached the mountaintop and came full circle when he became a head coach in the NBA. The kid from Brooklyn coached the follwing teams:
1990–1992 Los Angeles Lakers
1992–1996 Milwaukee Bucks
1997–2001 Portland Trail Blazers
2003–2010 Los Angeles Clippers
2016–2019 Tulane University
He was selected as Coach of the Year in 1999 with the Portland Trailblazers!
He is now a casual observer of the game and supports his son Mike Jr. General Manager of the Golden State Warriors.

[Robert Johnson @BroncoRobb]

@nycbbhistory @PeterVecsey1 I remember Dunleavy playing for Rockets in 1981 NBA Finals against @celtics. Was a scrappy guard who played hard and was a solid NBA coach and his son Mike was a great college basketball player who is GM of Golden State Warriors now.

Seventy five years ago today, my parents got married. They had a special relationship. Mom, I miss you so much.

[Dave Hyde @davehydesports]

My 36-year run at the Sun-Sentinel is over. Laid off for the first time since I lost my job as an ice-rink skate guard at 17. Cost-cutting move then, they said, too. I'm a month from 65, so please keep any sympathy for my newspaper friends who didn’t make it to the finish line like I have. I’m looking forward to doing some things I want to do so before the hall narrows and the light dims so you might not be completely done with me yet. Thanks to everyone who made it such a fun run.

Lebron ain’t EVER f**kin with MJ

[Robert Johnson @BroncoRobb]

@TheDunkCentral Yep, this is funny because LeBron has changed “jobs” so many times by leaving a team and going to another team multiple times chasing rings and it stilled hasn’t worked out for him like he had hoped it would!!

[Jacob Rudner @JacobRudner]

Mississippi State adds former Samford slugger Jake Souders, @BaseballAmerica’s No. 19 prospect and a proven hitter. The Bulldogs are the first team to add multiple top-20 transfers so far (No. 16 Brady Christman).

WE GOT A SERIES 🍿

Wemby and the Spurs win the first Finals game at MSG in 27 years to get on the board 👽

[Ricky G @jrichardgoodman]

I sent y'all some warning in that gm 3 👊

[Robert Johnson @BroncoRobb]

@jrichardgoodman Yep, Harper is one of the most impressive rookies on and off the court I have ever seen and hope his brother can be a great role player for my @celtics!!

[Robert Johnson @BroncoRobb]

@jrichardgoodman Regardless if Spurs win these Finals or not they are sitting pretty with Wemby, Harper, and Castle the next 10 years if they can navigate salary cap around those 3 studs!! Nothing is guaranteed for Spurs with OKC, Minny, and Denver out West but Spurs fans have to be excited!!

[Robert Johnson @BroncoRobb]

@jrichardgoodman Spurs had every reason to still be confident even after losing both games at home because both games could have gone either way and Spurs made more plays down the stretch tonight. Knicks still in great shape if they win Game 4 but if Spurs win to make it 2-2 then things get crazy

[Raj C. @RajChipalu]

This series did not deserve a sweep. The basketball has been way too good.

We are in for an incredible Game 4.
