Dear basketball gods, please bring Yaxel Lendeborg to Detroit.
A versatile 2-way inside-out playmaker with a 7 foot 4 wingspan, high motor and proven ability to elevate any team he's ever been on.
Would be a GREAT fit in Detroit. ����

Justin Gaethje was literally in the Oval Office before his fight, looking at the actual Declaration of Independence.
Then he walked out as a 6-to-1 underdog and beat the piss out of his opponent to win the first undisputed championship of his career.
I genuinely don't care what your politics are. That's one of the coolest sequences of events I've ever seen in sports.
Am I really supposed to think this isn't awesome because people decided to make it political?
The issue with modern politics is that I’m not allowed to think this is fucking cool without accusations of being right wing
But I’ll take the accusations because this is fucking cool for a MMA weigh in
Nah he actually saluted the American flag at the White House while his Canadian opponent was falling down unconscious.
This is the a top 5 UFC clip of all time😭
Staring down the actual Declaration of Independence before stepping into the octagon as an underdog to beat the piss out of an undefeated fighter in front of the world is an extraordinary level of legendary
New UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje dropped a legendary line after his HISTORIC upset over Illia Topuria.
Joe Rogan pointed out that he was a 6-1 underdog going into the fight.
GAETHJE: “Hey, I’m from America. 250 years ago we were WAY bigger than 6-1 dogs!”
“And look at us thriving now!”
“To all the current, former, and future military service members, thank you so much.”
“Thank you so much to all of the first responders, police officers, firefighters...you guys have no idea how grateful I am...”
“And all glory to God. I prayed so much for this opportunity, to do something legendary.”
“And I know that was absolutely legendary because I cannot even believe it.”
Every superstar who has been to the NBA Finals at least 4x since 1980
LeBron was an underdog 70% of the time, a true outlier.
Jordan, Kobe, Durant, Curry were 100% favorites.
LeBron is the only one to win multiple titles as a favorite and as an underdog.

He was legit wrecking games single handily
Only player who could get his own. It's going to suck when he's on a different teams getting buckets because our head coach won't play him (probably Minnesota)
