Batting stances are supposed to be about funky expression and sweet sweet nostalgia. Lately, they're about math.

With help from Gary Sheffield & Co., I explored whether this beloved art form can still be saved. New @GQSports: https://t.co/LCZ3ralyNp

A frenzied crypto market. A new and exciting NFT project. An official partnership with the league. NBA Top Shot had all the makings of a bubble. But as we know, all bubbles eventually burst.

In a wide-ranging feature, @LeoSepkowitz speaks to insiders, users, and Top Shot officials about what happened to the NFT platform where videos of LeBron and Jamal Murray highlights once sold for five or six figures—and whether Top Shot has a future.

on all things NBA Top Shot—the bullish, the sketchy, the bizarre—for @ringer: https://t.co/7xeWOrku6L

[Mike Zakarian @MikeZakarian]

This is hilarious

[Leo Sepkowitz @LeoSepkowitz]

for the @ringer, i went deep on NBA Top Shot: the absurd rise, the brutal fall, the uncertain future—and what it all says about the state of sports fandom: https://t.co/7xeWOrku6L

By trading Jusuf Nurkic for Cody Martin and Vasilije, the Phoenix Suns get:

🟣$120+ million in savings over the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons (if they don’t keep Martin and Micic next season)
🟣$40 million in savings this season between this and the Nick Richards trade

This is funny as heck in a game the Rockets were about to win in LA, The fans were cheering when Boban missed his first free-throw, because if the opposition misses two in a row, the fans get free chicken.

So watch what Boban does. I love Boban!

[Jon Bois @jon_bois]

just watch baseball. this is what baseball is and why it exists

[Leo Sepkowitz @LeoSepkowitz]

strange times

[Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn]

Jazz star Donovan Mitchell has tested positive for the coronavirus, league sources tell ESPN. Jazz players privately say that Rudy Gobert had been careless in the locker room touching other players and their belongings. Now a Jazz teammate has tested positive.

Corporate suit by day, reigning MVP by night, @MarcGasol is making history as a player-owner in Spain.

For SLAM, I visited Gasol in Girona, where he's balancing the impossible—and restoring men's hoops in a beloved city.
