That’s brilliant. I love the image of Curry sitting at his locker at halftime of Game 6 of the 2019 NBA second-round series against Houston, when Curry had not scored, and just scrolling through Twitter mentions on his phone getting mad. Steve Kerr would be yammering on about adjustments and drawing something up on the whiteboard, and Curry was ignoring him and just staring at his phone. Then Curry came out and scored 33 in the second half and eliminated the Rockets. … [Read more...] about Bogut: Stephen Curry used to read Twitter at halftime for motivation

Two negative RT-PCR tests mandatory; no quarantine for IPL owners
Unlike regular communiques, the official mail did not contain the name of a title sponsor, a clear indication that the IPL is still looking for a title sponsor. The word is that the BCCI is open to Vivo's return, the original title sponsor, which had requested the BCCI to 'pause' the deal for a year following the tension on the India-China border last June. In its absence Dream 11 had come board but that agreement was only for IPL 2020, and it had ended on December 31. … [Read more...] about Two negative RT-PCR tests mandatory; no quarantine for IPL owners
Three things to know: John Wall said Wizards “thought I was done,” got his revenge
It’s hard to overstate how popular Smith was with other media members — he always had a smile, was always generous and welcoming, and was simply the kind of person you wanted to hang around whether you were in the media room or having a drink postgame after the work was done. In my own, all-to-limited time with him he was always authentic and genuine, and simply kind. All things the world needs more of. … [Read more...] about Three things to know: John Wall said Wizards “thought I was done,” got his revenge

“I know that Ekeler has some of the skillset that I’m used to seeing in New Orleans with Reggie or Darren Sproles, or A.K,” Lombardi said, via the team’s website. “That’s exciting, to have someone with that skillset. It’s very exciting to come in knowing that those pieces are in place and that we have a good chance to hit the ground running.” … [Read more...] about Joe Lombardi: Austin Ekeler’s skill set similar to Alvin Kamara, Darren Sproles
Report: Pelicans discussing Lonzo Ball and J.J. Redick trades
Perhaps, Ball and Redick would contribute more on a better team. Golden State could use either guard. Ball’s passing and defense would shine in Steve Kerr’s system, which would also deemphasize Ball’s shortcomings as a scorer. The Warriors could also use more outside shooting, which Redick can at least theoretically still provide. Kelly Oubre’s salary ($14,375,000) lands near both Redick’s ($13,013,700) and Ball’s ($11,003,782). … [Read more...] about Report: Pelicans discussing Lonzo Ball and J.J. Redick trades
