Not knowing this while going to Utah at least once a year for over a decade is insane to me

Gilbert Arenas told AJ Dybantsa that he would prefer him in Utah because that’s home and it’s his city.

Gil seemed genuinely confused when AJ corrected him and said Utah is not a city it’s a state. 😭

AJ is from Massachusetts and says Utah is not home. I think he enjoyed his time in Utah but that connection gets overblown a little too much in my opinion.

A lot to unpack in this short 45 second clip. 😂

I think this game is overrating Wizards Russell Westbrook but we take it 🙏

@DeathbyCeltics And he did the same thing for Joe Mazzulla, it’s not that deep

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.

Finally, some good sports news this summer for New England

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

🚨🚨🚨

ESPN sources: The Eagles are trading Pro-Bowl WR A.J. Brown to the Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick that is the better of New England’s two fifths. The deal that has been speculated on for weeks now finally is happening. Brown and Patriots HC Mike Vrabel are reuniting.

Jared Verse is repaid for his terrific seasons with a trip to Cleveland…

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

🚨🚨🚨

Bombshell: The Browns are finalizing a trade that will send two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, per @rapsheet, @TomPelissero and me.

In exchange for Garrett, the Rams are expected to send Pro-Bowl edge Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick and other draft-pick compensation still being negotiated to the Browns.

@mantarypython @uhak_ Thank you, I knew I was forgetting something

Plenty of reasons for Celtics fans to root for the Spurs:

- They have 2024 NBA champion Luke Kornet
- They have former Celtic Kelly Olynyk
- They have Ron Harper Jr.’s brother, Dylan Harper
- They have UConn champion (and Tatum guy) Stephon Castle

@DawsonDickson_ I’m ashamed I didn’t have that on the list

[Daniel Donabedian @danield1214]

@haruhihiphop I thought it was obviously implied but I guess not 😭

[Daniel Donabedian @danield1214]

@June15th2025 I mean that point goes without saying. Didn’t think it was necessary to mention

[Daniel Donabedian @danield1214]

@BenlikesBsBACK I think that went without saying

Shai is a great leader. The hate he gets is so overblown.

[Joel Lorenzi @JoelXLorenzi]

SGA noted that OKC “needs Chet.” Asked about his conversations with Holmgren after the series, if they’ll talk about his approach to the summer:

“I haven’t talked to Chet about that. I won’t. I don’t feel like I need to. I didn’t perform my greatest this series either. Chet won’t come to me with a development for the summer, you know? Chet knows how much I care about this game. I know how much Chet loves this game. … he’s going to be a better player because of his make-up, his talent. I don’t need to umbrella Chet. He’ll figure it out.”
