NBA
Unless CNN suddenly has a secret NBA source nobody else has, I have a guess at how this happened. It is important to know that Warner Bros. Discovery owns CNN and TNT, and operates NBA TV.
An NBA TV scriptwriter pre-wrote a news item about Milwaukee hiring Doc Rivers, assuming someone else would break it first and CNN would then confirm it. Somehow, this gets read on-air at NBA TV an hour ago.
This then floats over the transom to TNT and Inside the NBA, where producers don’t apply enough skepticism — who at CNN confirmed this? where is the news story or tweet? why doesn’t woj have this? — and repeat it and put it on air.
CNN is a serious news organization that breaks things far more important than NBA coaching news. They have a process. None of that process includes no sourcing info, letting news first break on NBA TV and not writing an article about it.
(A WBD Sports spokesman has not responded to my questions about what is going on with this report)
I get that he is a 'players coach' but his success since 2008 has been fairly limited.
He fumbled a stacked Clippers team.
He fumbled a stacked Sixers Team.
What 'edge' would he bring to the Bucks other than letting Giannis do what he wants to do?

The crew has no chemistry, Lefkoe is annoying, that one song they play in the intros and outros is annoying. It’s just so much worse than the Thursday show

I’m curious who you all think were the best NBA players in different sports. What I mean is, out of all the players who played in the League, who was the best (for example) at American football. Or soccer. Or baseball. Etc.
Obviously this is very subjective, just interested in learning more about players who excelled at different sports.
Here’s my first stab, happy to hear your opinions.
-
Baseball - if we limit it to then modern era, would it be Danny Ainge? My understanding is that there were several NBA players who also had MLB careers back in the 50s, e.g. Dick Ricketts or Dick Groat.
-
American Football - Charlie Ward. Won in the Heisman Trophy. I presume he was better than the smattering of 50s players who actually played in the NFL.
-
Hockey - no clue
-
Soccer - no clue, but I’m assuming a non American. Maybe Steve Nash?
-
Tennis - John Lucas was a professional tennis player and ranked (albeit near 600, but still).
-
Swimming - I know Kris Humphries was a standout swimmer in his early teens, competing against the likes of Michael Phelps. Anyone else?
-
Volleyball - Wilt Chamberlain was a professional volleyball player and is in their HOF (albeit more for his popularization of the sport than his acumen). Fun fact… much like basketball, the sport of volleyball was invented at the YMCA, and not long after Naismith and not far away.
-
Rugby - No idea.
-
Track and Field - is it Bill Russell? He was good enough at the high jump to be nationally ranked and invited to participate in the Olympics.
-
Poker - I know Jordan Farmar competed in the World Series of Poker, although he didn’t get very far.
-
Chess - No idea. For some reason I presume Jerry Lucas was good at chess.
-
Twirling - Calvin Murphy, and it’s not even close.

8 games today. Lot to sift through. Lot of news likely to break, stay frosty
Charlotte @ Detroit (Det -2.5 230)
You read that right. The Pistons are a favorite today. Trading away Terry Rozier leaves this Hornets team pretty thin. Gordon Hayward remains out, Cody Martin is Questionable, Nick Richards is OUT. Lamelo Ball is one of many good spend ups at guard today, Miles Bridges will likely play close to 40 minutes, and is a high usage player, he looks great at that price. Brandon Miller has been really coming into his own lately, he also looks pretty good at his price. Richards and PJ also look fine at their prices. These cheap guys for Charlotte are nasty. Someone's gonna have to play around 10-15 mins, and the likely bet looks to be Nick Smith Jr. He's been ok, from what I've seen. Probably a better play if Martin sits, but can't say he's good safe value. For Detroit, Cade has moved from Probable to Questionable after shoot around. Something to monitor for obvious reasons. If he's back, Ivey, Burks, Sasser take an immediate hit to their potential. If he sits again, they're still in a weird spot because Monte Morris is probable to play tonight. He'll be on some type of restriction, but he's the flat minimum. Definitely some intrigue there, as he's an NBA level guard. Would love some news that confirms like 15-20 mins for him, but he's a fun dart. Probably about as good of a matchup as you'll get for Duren, price is a little expensive tho. Beef Stew has low-key been really good lately. Minutes make him a little risky, but the price is gettable. If you read these normally, you'll know how I feel about Ausar Thompson. I'll probably use him tonight, and he'll probably kill me. One of these days somebody's gonna get through to Monty Williams about why playing the 19 year old super raw super high activity athlete heavy minutes makes sense for a 4 win team. And maybe in that same thought he'll stop thinking Killian Hayes is going to show something new. Final note, Sasser is good at bball. He should get more run than he does too. I'm realizing I've watched wayyyyy too many Pistons games this year. What am I doing?
Wolves @ Wizards (Min -11 230)
This is a danger zone game. A blowout from an angry wolves team wouldn't surprise me in the least. I don't think any Wizard is playable tonight. You can make arguments for a couple of prices, but I really don't think it's worth it. If the wolves weren't just coming off a wakeup call/ego check, I wouldn't mind guys like Deni or Gafford who get hustle stats, but this game will likely be over quickly. Gobert and Ant are my two favorites. KAT close behind. If Conley plays, he looks good at that price. If he doesn't, Naw and Slomo look great again. 2 words: I'm sorry. Lol it's another great spot for Naz tho!
Grizz @ Heat (Mia -10.5 213)
Yuck. You can do it if you want. I'm not. Rotations are tight. I don't see a need and don't have any desire to play people from here.
Blazers @ Rockets (Hou -11 221.5)
Jalen Green was at shootaroud but is listed as Questionable. Jabari, FVV and Sengun look fantastic here at their prices. With all of them playing, I can't see playing Whitmore/Thompson, but man I want to. They won't really get the minutes here to smash, but I don't hate those two plays on any given night. They've shown the potential.
Don't play any Blazers here. High risk, low reward vs a healthy rockets team on a back to back. There's better plays out there. Simons has the most upside, imo, if you're dying for a blazer, but he's been bad lately.
Cavs @ Bucks (Mil -7.5 )
Leverts questionable again, and Tristan Thompson got busted cheating, again. We all know what this Bucks defense does for opposing guards, so you can feel good about playing Donovan again. Allen is now the only NBA caliber big that's healthy on the roster. Totally fine to play him. Merrill finally got the price hike, probably not playable here at 5.3k but man he's been awesome. Niang is probably my favorite play here, as he should get some extra run as a big off the bench. He's been good lately, and is way too cheap. Also can feel good about Dean Wade. Giannis is doing Giannis things nightly, but what catches my eye most is the full $1000 price drop on Khris Middleton. I don't mind a shot on Lopez or Bobby P here either.
Suns @ Mavs (PHX -2 241)
Luka Doncic is Devin Booker father. He's questionable tonight though, along with his running mate Kyrie. And Dante Exum. This will be crucial news to watch for, good news is we have an idea what the Mavs will do if these guys sit. THJ would be a lock, and you'll probably want Hardy and Green. Can't imagine both studs sit though. Phoenix has been amazing lately. Booker and KD have been seemingly trading off smashing these low 9k prices, and are good plays nightly. Nurk is in a good spot vs a weak Mavs team, and Grayson Allen has 50 pt upside apparently. Brad Beal is just ok at 7k. He's safe to get you 30, but risky to chase a ceiling. It's there though, and this matchups a good one.
Thunder @ Spurs (OKC -8 242)
This game is filled with great looking prices. SGA looks good. Wemby and Chet will be a fun battle, Jalen Williams has been a smash machine and is in a great matchup to do so again here. I like Vassell and Sochan a fair bit, and Zach Collins is intriguing down under 5k. Tre Jones was not at shoot around this morning, which would open up extra run for Blake Wesley, who has looked really good lately in his limited run. He's got good upside here if he was to move into a more prominent role here without Jones. Champagnie would likely see 20-24 minutes without Jones, and he's been solid at his price. Nothing wrong with looking to those two for value. I'm not sure which $8300 big man is my favorite between Wemby and Sengun, but you'll probably want one of them tonight. The 8k range for bigs is super popular today, so Chet will likely come in under owned for his price potential. Great game to look to here.
Hawks @ Warriors (GS -6.5 235.5)
The shorthanded Hawks will be the Warriors first matchup since the tragedy that struck their team. I think the Warriors are all kinda in the same boat here. High risk/high reward plays in a good high pace matchup. Hard not to like everyone a little extra if Podziemski sits. Klay and Kuminga probably have the best looking point/dollar upside, Steph obviously for Raw points, and Draymond/Wiggins are playable if you want to just donate your money to DK. Dejounte Murray is going to be super popular today, and always seems to come through when Trae sits. One of those fade at your own risk plays today, but between him and the big men in the 8k range, there's probably really low ownership on all the 9k+ guys. Food for thought. Jalen Johnson built a house with bricks the other night, but he's a great play nightly, Bogi will be called upon to shoot the ball a bunch here too. Fine play at his price. Bey is a C- play nightly. I can't fault you for it, given his minutes, but he's high-key bad. Okungwu seems a little too cheap, but he's risky. Garrison Matthews has been seeing solid run lately, and is a good enough shooter to hit his ceiling at that price pretty easily if he gets 15-20 mins here. Love Patty Mills as much as the next basketball fan, but you cant play him, cmon now.

Did the NBA assign Portland as Houston’s rival? I’ve always assumed it was the Jazz.
