What happens when a minor league baseball team loses it all? @TrentonThunder did, when the Yankees cut ties in 2020. Here’s what they built instead. Link below.

@jordankobewade7 Exactly, I was there too & Nash played 2 games & was out for a long time. The Lakers went 20-8 after the break. I think Deightscwas also playing with a torn shoulder muscle for most of the season…. And despite how strong they finished the regular season, Kobe tore his achilles

So let me get this straight, his team reached out to the champions got turned down, and he wasn’t interested in the 76ers until they got brown….. These are not the best looks for saying “I want to compete.”

@haiti4eva @KingJamesIIIIII @Lakers_king23 It’s like those people who someone think the bulls were in the conference finals instead of the second round. Anything to make someone else look worse.

@LogicallyCrypto @VinnysCorner1 I’ll tell you how Bird goes into the all time 3-0 in 3 point contest. Just because the game was played differently has nothing to do with the contest.

@ButlerGuru I’m for it!

Christmas came early on 7/24 in Trenton. JuJu Stevens’ solo homer in the 6th held up as the Thunder edged the Crosscutters 4-3 on Christmas Eve in July. Full recap, link in reply. @TrentonThunder

@NewProds19 @BigTok66 @VinnysCorner1 Don’t forget he also once had a season where he averaged playing more than 48 minutes per game.

Ding ding ding

And this is what some fans don’t get.

[Love The 🏀range @LoveTheOrange1]

Philadelphias recent signing isn’t why they are being labeled a superteam

The fact that they had Maxey, VJ, Brown and Embiid and added a player who’s fans will tell you he’s still top 10 is why

Any top 10 player added to Philly for the minimum would have created the same narrative

WHAT A CAREER 👏

Errol Spence retires following his unanimous decision loss to Tim Tszyu tonight in Australia.

[MJ @MJBurk]

@Rachel__Nichols Th he Sixers became a contender when they added Jaylen Brown and adding him to Embiid, Maxey , and VJ. K

LeBron just made his last decision, and I got the destination wrong. New piece on why Philadelphia actually makes sense, the pattern he's repeated for 16 years, and why this was never going to be a hero or villain story.

[MJ @MJBurk]

This is not surprising if true.

[Yahoo Sports @YahooSports]

LeBron James "had been angling" for Kyrie Irving to join him on the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the Mavericks have shown "no interest" in trading Irving and he is "believed to be comfortable" in Dallas, per @VinceGoodwill.

A Judy Johnson statue, a mascot named after a vegetable, and a walk-off win from their number one prospect. Spent a night with @WilmBlueRocks at Frawley Stadium and got a reminder of what makes minor league baseball special.

An active player getting his own Hall of Fame exhibit is rare air. Steph Curry didn't just make shots, he made a whole generation of kids think three-pointers were normal to attempt.
