🚨🎙️😳 Rocco Mediate rips Talor Gooch over his *asterisk* remarks, calling them “embarrassing”: "So if Rory wins The Masters there should be an asterisk... I wonder why that is? Everybody that belongs in The Masters, all the past champions that are on LIV are playing. Is it because he's not in? What has he ever done? What has he ever done?! The fact that he was the best player on LIV last year is an embarrassment. Fact. So he's won one tournament on the PGA Tour does that mean he can count that whenever the hell that was? No one cares. So please, he just needs to be quiet, go about his business, take all his money. Just stop it. To say something about Rory, are you kidding me? Are you absolutely kidding me? It's embarrassing. LIV should be going… dude, you need to shut up, just shut up, we'll handle this'. All the guys who should be at Augusta National, guess what, they will be." (Via: @RoccoMediate / @SiriusXMPGATOUR)

That’s some elite company next to Rohde.
In 2021, Duncan Robinson signed the biggest NBA contract ever for an undrafted player. Five years. $90 million.
He got money money.
Then in 2022, he permanently lost the starting job in Miami. And that setback cost him millions.
If you look at the fine print of Robinson’s contract, you’ll find a litany of incentives he has to meet to get the full $90 million.
🔸Must appear in 75% of playoff games
🔸Must play 25 minutes per playoff game
🔸The final $10 million is only guaranteed if the Heat win a championship
The life of a shooter is brutal. The highs and lows of maintaining your confidence is mental warfare.
And when you get benched, you get less minutes and less shots to regain that confidence. Those contract incentives start feel further than the basket.
It’s demoralizing. So many players go out like this. But apparently, the rule doesn’t to Miami Heat players.
Miami Heat culture means no matter who you are- undrafted benchwarmer or super-max superstar- if you’re on this team, you’re working.
Robinson not only came back in these playoffs, he came back different. He learned how to attack closeouts, seek contact and create off the dribble.
He’s no longer a 6’7” shooter. He’s now a 6’7” shooter, slasher and playmaker.
It’s so incredibly rare for a player who crashed as hard as Duncan did to bounce back like this. And it’s almost unbelievable to do it on this stage.
On the road. Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Duncan Robinson scored 10 points in the 4th quarter and gave Miami the Heat it needed to tie this series.
He may lose millions, but Duncan Robinson will never take the opportunity for granted. He’s living proof why you should always love yours. Because…

Robyn's Update: 58 days 3 major surgeries Robyn has gone through. Glioblastoma is the enemy, a terrible enemy. Her last surgery was tough, but this tough girl came through VG!
This will be her last surgery - Radiation, the next step if approved is our hope!
Thanks🙏

Caitlin Clark did NOT chase anyone down to do the “You can’t see me” gesture.
She did it for 2 seconds (I’ve timed it) walking AWAY from the Louisville bench and it was actually done towards HER bench.
Angel Reese did it multiple times to cause an issue. She kept doing it. This is the SAME ANGEL REESE that got in a girl’s face last year SCREAMING…
“You ain’t cut (built) like that. You ain’t about that life, I promise you!”
The narrative being created that “It was ok when Clark did it but there’s a problem when Reese did it” is hilarious because the 2 moments aren’t even CLOSE to being in the same context.
It would require a level of intelligence to understand this though.

Hey, before y'all praise Kim Mulkey's outfit too much, just a friendly reminder how she 's treated her queer players, including Brittney Griner.
