Gregg Popovich is tired.Speaking Saturday at "Stand with Uvalde," a fundraiser and community gathering organized in the aftermath of the May 24 deadly shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, the Spurs coach expre sed Tyson Ross Jersey his sadne s over the tragedy and his general frustration with politicians' responses to it.MORE:The 73-year-old Popovich criticized political figures mentioning U.S. Sen.

After the Aces lost to the Mercury in Game 5 of the 2021 WNBA Semifinals, Las Vegas star A'ja Wilson was overcome with emotion. , laying bare the devastation of mi sing another opportunity to win the WNBA championship. Her teammates had to lift her up and a sist her back to the locker room."I think our core understood how painful the lo s was last year; we didn't want Scott Kingery Jersey that feeling anymore," Wilson said of that postseason exit ( ).Nearly a full year later, she has found redemption. Wilson and the Aces captured the first title in franchise history on Sunday night, defeating the Sun to close out the 2022 WNBA Finals.But that ring didn't just fill in the only gap on Wilson's incredible basketball resume. It also put a bow on perhaps the greatest individual season in league history.With the Game 4 win over Connecticut, Wilson became the second WNBA player to earn the Defensive Player of the Year Mike Schmidt Jersey award, MVP award and a championship in the same season. Before Wilson's 2022 campaign, only four other players had taken home the Defensive Player of the Year and MVP trophies in the same year.YearPlayerDPOYMVPChampionship1999Yolanda GriffithYesYesNo2000Sheryl SwoopesYesYesYes2002Sheryl SwoopesYesYesNo2004Lisa LeslieYesYesNo2007Lauren JacksonYesYesNo2022A'ja WilsonYesYesYesWilson Sean Rodriguez Jersey averaged 19.5 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.1 a sists, 1.9 blocks and 1.4 steals per game during the regular season, then shouldered an even heavier burden in the WNBA Playoffs. She saw a significant increase in minutes, but she never slowed down.The 26-year-old also stepped up as a vocal leader for the Aces. Kelsey Plum gave credit to Wilson for before Game 2 of the WNBA Finals and pushing her to deliver a strong postseason Will Middlebrooks Jersey performance."She has the stats and everything, and she leads in categories," Las Vegas guard Chelsea Gray said of Wilson in August ( ). "But I think it's about her willingne s to be that leader, and not go up and down."I can't speak about anybody else, but what I see on an everyday basis is somebody that's working on both ends of the floor Jimmy Foxx Jersey . ... She's doing it all."Players such as Gray, Plum and Jackie Young deserve credit for their immense contributions to the title run, of course, but Wilson was unquestionably the driving force of the Aces' succe s.Her teammates had to carry her off the floor at the end of the 2021 season. This time around, she carried them through the finish line.

Danny Ainge is dominating the NBA demolition derby with both eyes planted squarely on the distant horizon.The Jazz officially entered full rebuild mode after sending All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell to the Cavaliers for Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, Ochai Agbaji, three unprotected first-round picks and two future pick swaps.This marks the second All-Star blockbuster trade Utah has pulled off this offseason after sending Rudy Gobert to the Timberwolves in return for five first-round picks and a group of rotation players.Why did they do it? In short, two words: Victor Wembanyama.If you're unfamiliar with Wembanyama, the projected No. 1 overall pick will have the opportunity to showcase his talent in the United States when his Metropolitans Will Middlebrooks Jersey 92 take on the G League Ignite and projected No. 2 pick Scoot Henderson in a pair of exhibition games in Las Vegas on Oct. 4 and 6.Fans will get the chance to see the French phenom live, and you'll quickly understand why teams are trying so hard to line themselves up for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft this upcoming offseason.Wembanyama is the type of franchise talent worth starting over for.You could make an argument for Zion Williamson or Anthony Davis, but Wembanyama certainly has a case as the most-hyped NBA prospect since LeBron James.Yes, the hype is that real.As teams positions themselves for what should be an epic tankathon this upcoming season, it's important to remember that the lottery odds changed back in 2019.Since the NBA changed the lottery odds so the three worst teams all have a 14 percent JT Realmuto Jersey chance of winning the No. 1 pick, the team that finished with the worst record has yet to win the lottery.MORE: In 2019, the Pelicans won the lottery with a long shot six percent chance. In 2020 (MIN), 2021 (DET) and 2022 (ORL), the teams that won the lottery all had 14 percent chances, but none of the winners had the worst record in the NBA the previous season.With all of that being said, it's no longer as simple as trying to tank your way to the No. 1 pick. There's some added luck involved now, but having multiple picks or chances in a single draft lottery, of course, increases your odds. As the saying goes, luck favors the prepared.Which teams have stacked the most a sets to gain the best chance at landing Wembanyama next offseason? Without getting too lost in the weeds of protections, here's a closer look at the four leading contenders to land 2023's ultimate prize. Future first-round picks:2023: 1Own or swap with LAC2024:4 Own, HOU (5-30), LAC, UTAH(11-30)2025:4 Own or swap with LAC/HOU, PHI (7-30), MIA (15-30)2026: 3* Own, HOU (5-30), LAC; *Unprotect MIA pick if 2025 doesn't convey2027:2 Own, DEN (6-30; Top-5 protections in 2027, 2028, 20292028: 1 Own2029:1 OwnThere is no team in a better position to make an irrefutable offer for next year Mitch Williams Jersey 's No. 1 pick than the Thunder, and that's if they don't win the lottery themselves.Oklahoma City has an unfathomable amount of draft capital over the foreseeable future with 10 first-round picks over the next three drafts. I can't think of a better way to maximize their a sets than packaging as many picks as it takes to ensure they land Wembanyama with the No. 1 pick next year.Now don't get me wrong, there is a great chance that whichever franchise wins the lottery will simply refuse to trade the pick, knowing the type of franchise-altering player Wembanyama could be. But the Thunder could get reckle s (shrewd?) and offer a trade that other franchises simply cannot match.Don't be surprised if OKC pushes all its chips into the middle of the table ahead of next year's draft. Future first-round picks:2023: 3 Own, MIN, HOU/BKN/PHI (least favorable)2024:1 Own (top 10 protected)2025:3 Own (top 10 protected), CLE, MIN2026: 1 Own (top 8 protected) or swap with MIN/CLE2027: 3 Own, MIN, CLE2028: 1 Own or swap with CLE2029: 3 Own, MIN, CLEAfter moving off of Gobert and Mitchell, the Jazz have officially thrown their name in the hat for the Wembanyama sweepstakes.MORE: Acquiring a combined seven first-round picks and two pick swaps in trades for those two All-Stars, the Jazz now have a serious war chest of draft capital to play with when it comes to making an offer to land next year's No. 1 pick. And like I said for OKC, that's if Utah doesn't win the NBA Draft Lottery outright, which is certainly a po sibility after trading away its two best players.The Jazz's new CEO of Basketball Operations, Danny Jorge Alfaro Jersey Ainge, is known for taking big swings (see: the Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett trade that landed the Celtics both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown). It only took one offseason for him to completely blow up everything Utah previously had in place.Ainge clearly has a direction here put all of the Jazz's eggs in the Wembanyama basket and the future. Future first-round picks:2023: 2 Own or swap with BRK, MIL2024: 2 Own (1-4), BRK2025:1 Own or swap with OKC/BRK2026: 2 Own (1-4), BRK2027: 1 Own or swap with BRK2028: 1 Own2029: 1 OwnThe Rockets' rebuild got underway when the franchise traded James Harden to the Nets shortly after the 2020-21 season began. At the time, their return of three first-round picks and four first-round pick swaps already seemed like a great return for a player who no longer had an interest in playing for the franchise.Now, that deal looks even better considering things haven't unfolded the way you would have expected in Brooklyn, with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving's tenure leading to nothing but shortcomings thus far.Even though both stars have verbally committed to the Nets for this season, would it surprise anyone if trade talks bubbled up again around the trade deadline?And if either or both of those stars are on the move, the Rockets would come away as huge winners, owning rights to Brooklyn's first-round picks for the next five (!) drafts.Not only would that jack up the value of those future first-rounders for trade bait, but it potentially gives Houston two good chances at landing the No. 1 pick in next year's draft.All Rockets fans can do is Chuck Klein Jersey set back and wait for the first domino to fall in Brooklyn. Future first-round picks:2023: 2 Own, CHA (17-30)2024: 1* Own, CHA (15-30) if doesn't convey in 20232025: 3* Own, ATL, CHI (11-30), CHA if doesn't convey in 2024

The Celtics' stunning season has come to a close. They fell to the Warriors in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, coming up just shy of winning their 18th title in franchise history. Max Muncy Jersey Boston had one of the most surprising seasons in the NBA this year, going from a team that was 25-25 through its first 50 games to finishing with the second-best record in the East.With new head coach Ime Udoka at the helm, the Celtics stumbled out of the gate, but once all of the pieces started to click, they looked like one of the most dominant teams in the league.Behind their star tandem of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, a Defensive Player of the Year season from Marcus Smart, the emergence of Robert Williams III and the resurgence of Al Horford, Boston owned the league's best defensive rating and second-best net rating.The Celtics swept the Nets in the first round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs, defeated the Bucks in a grueling seven-game series in the East Semis and repeated that with another Game 7 win over the Heat in the Conference Finals to advance to their first NBA Finals in over a decade.Boston jumped out to a 2-1 lead over the Warriors in the Finals, but it couldn't close out the series. Golden State went on to win the final three games to defeat the Celtics in six.Boston isn't going anywhere, though.With their core group under contract until 2024-25, the Celtics shouldn't have as busy of an offseason as other teams, but there are still a few minor details to iron out.

The David Price Jersey Celtics will select with the 23rd pick in the second round (No. 53 overall). NBA Getty Images What will contract negotiations with Al Horford and Grant Williams look like?The Celtics' front office has handled its most important tasks, as it already secured commitments from Brown and Tatum.Prior to the start of the 2019 season, Brown signed a four-year, $119 million contract extension to remain with the Celtics through the 2023-24 season. Prior to the start of the 2020 season, Tatum signed a five-year max contract extension worth up to $195 million that will keep him in Boston through the 2024-25 season.Before this past season, Boston made sure to lock up its two most impactful defensive players. Smart agreed to a four-year, $77.1 million deal that will keep him with the Celtics through the 2025-26 season. Rising center Robert Williams III also inked an extension before the season, landing a four-year, $54 million deal that will keep him on the same timeline as Smart.Next up for Boston is figuring out what to do with Horford Victor Gonzalez Jersey and Grant Williams this offseason.Horford has one more year remaining on the contract he signed with the 76ers back in 2019. His $26.5 million salary is non-guaranteed for the 2022-23 season, but after a stellar postseason, don't be surprised if the Celtics present the veteran with a strong offer.As for Williams, the 2019 first-round pick is eligible for his rookie contract extension this offseason. Williams had the most impre sive year of his career, developing into one of the best 3-and-D players in the NBA. He knocked down 41.1 percent of his 3-pointers while taking on the A. J. Pollock Jersey toughest of defensive a signments, including Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo.It's unclear how much money Williams will command, but he stars in his role in Boston. It's not farfetched to think he would take a slight discount to remain with the Celtics. He also has the option to wait and test restricted free agency in 2023.With their cornerstones under contract, the Celtics only have to worry about retaining two key pieces of their rotation.

The Bay Area isnt nece sarily synonymous with the word grit, and neither are many of the best pro athletes to ever call it home. Rice, Montana, Bonds, Mays, Henderson, McCovey and Barry all made greatne s look so damn Stephortle s.But then you dig a little deeper and start to understand what makes them great.MORE: Grit x Talent.For some of the Bay Areas best, their legacies preceded them. Joe Montana, a national championship winner at Notre Dame, helped usher in a new offensive system that would change the league forever. Barry Bonds came back home to the Bay fresh off an MVP season in Pittsburgh.For others, their arrivals came with skepticism. Jerry Rice dominated college football, but outside of the national spotlight. Could he get separation against the NFLs Custom Jersey best defenses? Stephen Curry was a nice story with a beautiful stroke, but could a guard from Davidson really be more than a 6th man in the NBA?Yes and yes.Four legends who have the honor of being in the discu sion for GOAT status in each of their respective sports make up the Bay Areas Mount Rushmore. Rice, Curry, Bonds and Montana stand above the many other legends that played at Oracle Arena, the Coliseum, the Cow Palace and the Stick. So sound the foghorn, set off the water cannons and listen to who We Believe belongs on the mountain. Jerry Rice might just be the greatest football player to ever live. The NFL Network thought as much in 2010, when it ranked him No. 1 in their countdown of the league's top 100 players of all-time.From the moment general manager John McVay and head coach Bill Walsh traded up to grab Rice out of Mi si sippi Valley State in the 1985 NFL draft, much was expected.Bill Walsh was unlike most other talent evaluators in that he didnt believe that there was a guy hed really like to have,"said Maury Wills Jersey longtime Bay Area columnist Ray Ratto. "There were a few guys he really had to have and Rice probably was the premier example of that.His rookie year was a bit uneven, yet he still recorded almost 1,000 yards receiving. In year two, it was on. Rice finished with over 1,500 yards receiving and caught 15 touchdowns, leading the NFL in both categories. The strike-shortened 1987 season was arguably the most impre sive of his Hall of Fame career. In just 12 games, he caught 22 touchdowns, finishing second in MVP voting and capturing AP Player of the Year honors. The funny thing about it is he didnt really have a defining moment (in his career)," Ratto says. "He had a bunch of defining games.One of those was the 49ers' dramatic 20-16 win over the Bengals in Super Bowl 23.Rice was simply unstoppable, torching the Bengals for 11 catches for 215 yards and a touchdown as he took home MVP honors.He dominated that game coming off an ankle injury," says Bonta Hill,radio personality on 95.7 The Game and host of Warriors pregame live on NBC Sports Don Sutton Jersey Bay Area."He was spectacular. Quick slants, deep routes, double-teamed, triple-teamed, it did not matter, Hill said.When the lights were brightest, Rice was at his best. In four Super Bowl appearances (three in San Francisco, one with Oakland), he averaged 147.3 yards and two touchdowns per game. No other wide receiver who has played in multiple Super Bowls has averaged more than 117 yards receiving.Rice played 16 seasons with the Niners before heading acro s the Bay where he helped Oakland to its last Super Bowl appearance at age 40 with a 1,200-yard season. In 54 somewhat forgotten games in Oakland, he still averaged 61 yards per game and scored 18 touchdowns -- all after age 39.He worked harder than you did in July and August, and beat you like an old rug in September, October, November, December, and January, Ratto says. His career numbers are, in two words, utterly ridiculous. He still ranks first in NFL history in receptions, receiving yards, touchdowns and all-purpose yards despite the evolution to the NFL being a pa s-first league the last 20 years. He finished in the top 10 in NFL in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns a whopping 12 times. He was a 10-time All-Pro selection who finished with three Super Bowl rings. Rice was the one guy who could not ever be accounted for by any other team no matter what they did," Ratto says. "You couldnt double-team him out of the game. And thats probably the most extraordinary thing you can say about anybody."At the end of the day, there simply arent enough goat emojis to describe his career.Rice By The NumbersCareer receptions; rec yds; rec TDs1,549*; 22,895*; 197*First-team All-Pro10Super Bowl titles3Super Bowl MVP1Career points1,256**TSN ARCHIVES: Stephen Curry simply changed the game. Everyone knew he could shoot when the Warriors drafted him 7th overall in 2009. But few anticipated him developing into arguably the greatest shooter to ever live, with an incredible handle, flare for the dramatic, and the engine for a dynasty almost nobody in the NBA saw coming. Early in his career, with the Warriors mired in well over a decade of mediocrity following Run TMC and a brief return to relevance with We Believe, Curry was paired with fan favorite Monta Ellis in the backcourt. Many Warriors fans wanted Ellis to be the star, but the Warriors front office thought differently.You were Walker Buehler Jersey either team Monta or team Steph," Hill says. "I remember when the Warriors traded Monta and I was like damn thats a bad move. Steph had the (oft-injured) ankles. He is another cursed Warrior.Ellis was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in 2012, clearing a path for Curry and then rookie Klay Thompson to become the Dubs backcourt. In the 2012-2013 season, Curry began the most prolific shooting stretch in NBA history. He broke the league's all-time record for 3-pointers made in a single season in 2013 (272). And again in 2015 (286). And again in 2016 (402), a record that still stands. Curry owns four of the top five single-season marks in league history and is 127 triples clear of Ray Allen for the career mark. And he's just 34.But he is obviously more than a shooting savant, as he led the Warriors to back-to-back NBA Finals appearances in pre-Kevin Durant era, and has brought home four rings overall to a Bay Area that had not had an NBA championship since 1975.I think its safe to say in no point in his career was he the best player in the league, but he was the most important player on the best team four times, Ratto said.There are the titles Curry has brought to the Bay, and in the proce s, a new state-of-the art arena in San Francisco, and the moments. His performance in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Celtics was one for the ages. In a gotta-have-it game, when he silenced that crowd and dropped 43 big ones, its hard not to say thats not the signature moment," Hill says. "On the grandest of stages Zach McKinstry Jersey . In Boston under all of those banners."His 54-point performance in Madison Squar

The Seahawks needed to win against Willians Astudillo Jersey the Rams in Week 18 to keep their playoff hopes alive.Mi sion accomplished.It wasn't an easy game for Seattle against its divisional rival. The game went to overtime and for a moment, it looked like Baker Mayfield would have a chance to complete a game-changing, downfield pa s to Van Jefferson to put the Rams in range for a game-winning field goal.LIVE: Instead, the ball hung up in the air just long enough for Quandre Diggs to intercept it. The Seahawks Pro Bowler managed to catch it and that set up the game-winning field goal drive in Seattle's 19-16 win.Intercepted by Quandre Diggs!: on FOX: Stream on NFL+ NFL (@NFL) The win guaranteed that the Seahawks would remain in the NFC playoff race through the final game of the season. However, it didn't guarantee that they would make it. They need the Lions to beat the Packers on "Sunday Night Kyle Gibson Jersey Football" to avoid falling out of the final playoff spot.And as Diggs explained in the lead-up to the game, he called in a favor to try to make that happen.MORE: Diggs has been with the Seahawks since 2019, but he spent the first four-plus seasons of his career in Detroit. He told reporters earlier in the week that he had contacted some of his former Lions teammates to ask them to help Seattle's cause, per .I would be lying if I told you guys that I didnt hit up some of my friends over there already and told them, Kent Hrbek Jersey 'Yall handle busine s and get it done.'Diggs explained that he understood that a Seahawks win would mean that the Lions were eliminated from postseason contention. Still, he Blake Parker Jersey felt like the players he knows on Dan Campbell's squad would relish a chance to deny Aaron Rodgers a chance to make it to the playoffs for a fourth consecutive season.I know that A Rod is thinking, I know he is living for this moment, to go in and beat the Lions so that he can talk trash," Diggs said. "Hopefully my guys can pull through. They can go over there and get a W, we handle our busine s, and everything works out the right way."Diggs also joked that he may have provided extra incentive for his former teammates to go out and earn a victory."I am like, 'Hey, I wouldnt mind taking yall on vacation if you go ahead and get a W," Diggs said. "I will pay for your vacation.'"MORE: But at this Bert Blyleven Jersey point, Diggs has done all that he can do. He helped the Seahawks earn a victory and now, he will hold out hope that the Lions can go into Lambeau Field and pull off a big upset against the Packers.

Derek Wolfe's Instagram followers got a rude awakening Thursday when the former Broncos defensive end posted a picture of him carrying the carca s of a mountain lion down a Colorado mountain.Wolfe, a member of Denver's Super Bowl 50-winning team, heard reports of the adult male lion (a Tom) Phil Hughes Jersey lurking in rural communities in upstate Colorado. Per Wolfe, the Tom had feasted on local dogs and deer, drawing the ire of some of the Miguel Sano Jersey town's residents.Wolfe and a partner made their way up the snowy terrain, examining animal tracks to see if they could spot their prey's whereabouts. They found him in a tree and used a bow and arrow to kill him in an act of "predator control.""Ilove hunting deer and elk, and mountain lions kill deer and elk, and mature male mountain lions kill the cubs of female mountain lions to get them to go back into heat," Wolfe said on Willians Astudillo Jersey his podcast this week. "I feel like I am doing my part by taking care of some of these Toms.
