He’s not our big little secret anymore. Bam Adebayo, the subject of a glowing profile by ESPN’s Zach Lowe this week, has been one of the breakout stars of All-Star weekend, as media members gravitate toward his story and his sunny personality. And now, he’s about to become even more well known.’ Adebayo was the […]
The media were waiting for Jimmy Butler in Chicago. Butler, after all, make his name here — rising from 30th overall pick to Most Improved Player, All-Star, and maximum salary candidate player, even though he would have to go elsewhere to get that last reward. Now Butler is back, as a member of the Miami […]
This felt like a given. Chris Bosh made 11 All-Star teams. He won two championships. He represented the game well. He basically invented — or at minimum, perfected — photo bombing. He was Tall Justise. And he would have done more if not for his career ending prematurely due to multiple bouts with blood clots, […]
We know everything. But we know nothing. Here are some of the predictions from the Five Reasons Sports Network team, for Super Bowl LIV between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs at Hard Rock Stadium. Most of us like the Chiefs, and Andy Reid. Want to bet against us? Go to BetDSI.com and […]
This is somewhat confusing. It’s never been entirely clear what a Comeback Player of the Year is in major sports. Come back from what? Drugs? Tragedy? Incompetence of a team’s management? This is one reason why the NBA changed the award to Most Improved Player a few years back. So it’s tough to know what […]
They shared a trainer, Tim Grover, and sometimes quarreled over his time. They shared a position, shooting guard, though Kobe Bryant was at least three inches taller. They shared a legacy, of championships, glamour, travails and more. They shared a willingness to explore the globe, especially China, to expand their brands. They shared an intense […]
He’s a toxic teammate. A terrible influence. A ticking time bomb. Too demanding. Too selfish. Too much me, not enough we. That’s what we heard about Jimmy Butler, not from one spot, not from two spots, but from three. Issues in Chicago. Trouble in Minnesota. Tension in Philadelphia. A star, for sure, but not someone […]
Dion Waiters hasn’t provided any excitement on the court for the Miami Heat this season. But he can’t stop making us notice him off of it. Waiters, who has been suspended several times, and hasn’t played in a single regular season game, does not appear to be a tradeable commodity at the moment. He hasn’t […]
How to feel about this? There’s never been a seven-year itch quite like what was caused by Ryan Tannehill’s tenure as Miami Dolphins quarterback, the itch to see something new. He was good here, but never great, and just as he started to get closer — playing at a higher level during a 8-5 start […]
It was a simple question about missed shots. But it was natural for some to interpret part of the answer as an subtle shot. OK, here’s how it started: I’ve noticed a trend. Jimmy Butler shoots poorly, as he did Thursday against the Toronto Raptors, making just 2-of-10 from the floor. The Miami Heat win […]
