LeBron James (@KingJames) "I said it before and Im gonna say it again, there is no place in this league for that kind of behavior. I love this league and I deeply respect our leadership. But this isn't right. There is no place for misogyny, sexism, and racism in any work place," LeBron continued.Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul echoed LeBron's view on the i sues, saying he was "horrified and disappointed" at the report on Sarver's behavior, adding that the league "fell short" in its punishment.I am of the view that the sanctions fell short in truly addre sing what we can all Jose Iglesias Jersey agree was atrocious behavior. My heart goes out to all of the people that were affected. Chris Paul (@CP3) The league began an independent investigation following in November 2021, which revealed Sarver's racist, sexist and hostile behavior, during his 17-year tenure as owner of the Suns. Adam Duvall Jersey The report featured interviews with more than 70 current and former Suns employees, detailing a "toxic and sometimes hostile workplace" under Sarver.MORE:Sarver's punishment is second only to the league's discipline for former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who was forced to sell the team after his racist comments were recorded and made public in 2014.The NBA today i sued the following statement: NBA Communications (@NBAPR) James and Paul's statements reflect the view of theNational Basketball Players A sociation, with executive director Tamika Tremaglio saying there is no place for Sarver in the league:Mr. Sarver's reported actions and conduct are horrible and have no place in our sport or any workplace for that matter.Additionally, the investigation confirmed that Mr. Sarver's deplorable behavior did not just come to light in November 2021.

In the 2021 offseason, Deandre Ayton wanted to get a max offer from the Phoenix Suns.That didn't happen.In the 2022 offseason, Ayton wants to get a max offer from anyone that will give it to him.Ayton bet on himself last summer, showing the Suns and the NBA why he is one of the top big men in Colin Poche Jersey the game with his dynamic play. He averaged a double-double of 17.2 points and 10.2 rebounds while shooting 63.4 percent from the field. Thanks to his strong numbers, teams seem quite ready to reward him with a max long-term deal.The Suns however, don't appear to be too keen on re-signing Ayton. He had an up-and-down performance in the playoffs, which included getting limited to Jesus Aguilar Jersey 17 minutes in Game 7, due to a reason that head coach Monty Williams referred to as an "internal" i sue.If Ayton's tenure in Phoenix is already coming to a close after four seasons, teams like the Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors have reportedly expre sed interest in signing the 23-year-old center.The Sporting News will keep you up to date on Ayton-related news and rumors as more reports emerge about his situation. Here's what we know so far.MORE: Atlanta wants to sign Ayton but for le s than the maxTeam: Atlanta HawksRumor:The Hawks have interest in signing Ayton however, that is "contingent on landing him for Austin Pruitt Jersey le s than a max contract."Reported by: Phoenix GM James Jones says Ayton "remains a big part" of teamTeam: Phoenix SunsRumor:Speaking with reporters after the draft, Phoenix Suns general manager James Jones spoke generally about Ayton and made it seem like the team would like to bring him back.James Jones said his stance on Deandre Ayton has not changed. The Suns haven't said anything differently."DA remains a big part of what we do and he's a free agent, so we'll talk about free agency when the time comes." Gerald Bourguet (@GeraldBourguet) Reported by:Suns pre s conference after 2022 NBA draftDetroit may not pursue Ayton after draftingJaden Ivey and Jalen DurenTeam: Detroit PistonsRumor:Armed with plenty of cap space, the Detroit Pistons seemed to be a likely landing spot for Ayton. However, after drafting Jaden Ivy and Jalen Duren, Ayton may now reportedly be "Plan B" for the Pistons.However, while all signs have pointed to Detroit making a serious run at Phoenixs Deandre Ayton over the last few days, that appears le s likely after the Pistons walked away with two of the players highest on the organizations big board. Per sources, Detroit is eager to continue to build back toward playoff contention with the aforementioned young Tommy Pham Jersey core, and the Pistons are expected to use the majority of their remaining cap space to add multiple veteran pieces rather than just one big swing this offseason, per sources.For the last 48 hours, it appeared that landing Ayton would be Plan A for Detroit. Acquiring the additional $20 million in cap space created an opportunity for the Pistons to Nathan Eovaldi Jersey put the fear into any team with a blue-chip restricted free agent. In all actuality, though, the events on Thursday signal the Ayton route being Plan B. Plan A manifested in Brooklyn, when Ivey unexpectedly slid to the Pistons and they found a way to get back into the lottery to add Duren. Per sources, this was the best-case scenario.Reported by:
The NBA world is buzzing about a potential Kevin Durant deal following the news that the Pacers have offered Deandre Ayton a four-year, $133 million max offer sheet.While Phoenix has 48 hours Nathan Eovaldi Jersey to match that offer, it comes with some baggage. If the Suns let Ayton walk for nothing in return, there is a No. 1 overall pick-sized void in their frontcourt. If they match the offer, Ayton still cannot be included in a potential deal for Durant, as he won't be able to be dealt until Jan. 15, 2023, and will have the Christian Arroyo Jersey power to veto any trade for a calendar year.MORE: How does all of this impact the chance of Durant landing in Phoenix, which was one of his preferred destinations?Take a look at the a sets the Suns could move to land the all-time great below.

The 2022 NBA Draft is almost here and while you're probably starting to get familiar with the top prospects like Jabari Smith Jr., Chet Holmgren and Paolo Banchero, there are plenty of other names you should have on your radar.Every year, there are Texas Rangers Jersey prospects who slip through the cracks on draft night, turning into steals for the franchise that selects them. Recent succe s stories like Nuggets' Bones Hyland (2021), 76ers' Tyrese Maxey (2020), Grizzlies' Desmond Bane (2020) and Warriors' Jordan Poole (2019) were all taken outside of the top 20 in their respective drafts.And that's not even mentioning sleeper superstars like Nikola Jokic and Draymond Green, both of whom fell to the second round in their draft cla ses.Who are the sleepers to know in this year's draft cla s? Take a look at the 11 candidates below. First round sleepersMalaki Branham, Ohio StatePlays like:Khris MiddletonBranham hardly qualifies as a "sleeper" anymore, especially after he has been named as one of the 16 players who have received an invite to the green room on draft night. But the Ohio State freshman forward is still a bit of an unknown unle s you're plugged into the draft scene, and he's my candidate for the player who will have us wondering how he wasn't selected earlier as his rookie year plays out.MORE: Branham had a quiet start to his freshman season, only averaging 6.3 points over his first 10 games. After a 35-point explosion in his next game, he never looked back, averaging 17.0 points on .528/.432/.822 shooting splits the rest of the way to take home Big Ten Rookie of the Year honors.Branham scores with ease from all three levels, has a smooth shooting stroke and Kolby Allard Jersey can create his own shot off the bounce. At 6-foot-6, 195 pounds with a 6-foot-10 wingspan, Branham checks all the boxes to be a versatile defender at the next level. Whichever franchise lands the 19-year-old on draft night will receive one of the biggest steals of the draft.Jaden Hardy, G League IgnitePlays like:Jordan Poole coming out of high school, Hardy was widely considered to be a potential top-five pick in this year's draft. The five-star recruit elected to take the G League Ignite route over several offers from Power 5 schools.In his first season playing profe sionally, Hardy had some weakne ses exposed. For as great as he is as a scorer, there are concerns about his consistency and shot selection after shooting 35.1 percent from the field and 26.9 percent from 3.I'm here to tell you that at this point, it feels like Hardy's offensive prowe s is being severely underrated. Even with those poor percentages, Hardy still averaged 17.1 points and 3.2 a sists per game. He's an advanced shot creator and has limitle s range as a 3-point shooter. He also began to develop as a playmaker as the season went on and any team that needs instant offense would be wise to take a swing on Hardy.Kennedy Chandler, Tenne seePlays like:Tyrese MaxeyChandler was another player who really started to figure things out down the home stretch of his freshman season. He took home SEC Tournament MVP honors after leading Tenne see to the SEC title, increasing his draft stock in the proce s as he carried his momentum into the NCAA Tournament.The lightning-quick guard is one of the best playmakers in this draft cla s, proving his ability as a floor general and primary ball-handler once the game slowed down for him. He Ryan Rua Jersey 's fast and decisive in the pick-and-roll, using his speed to his advantage to get downhill and put defenders on their heels before making the right read to pa s or score. He shot 46.6 percent from 3 over the final two months of the season and showed he can be a disruptive on-ball defender despite his small frame at 6-feet, 172 pounds.EJ Liddell, Ohio StatePlays like:PJ TuckerLiddell is a prime candidate for the uppercla smen who slides on draft night but will make an immediate impact in the league. As an undersized big man at 6-foot-7, Liddell is a two-way player with crafty offensive skill, sneaky athleticism and a long 7-foot wingspan.Liddell improved every year over his three seasons at Ohio State, averaging 19.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game as a junior. Most importantly for his transition to the NBA, Liddell developed as a 3-point shooter each season, knocking down 37.4 percent of his attempts this past year.Liddell has all of the makings of a versatile power forward or small-ball center in today's NBA and as a 21-year-old, he'll be ready to slide into a team's rotation right away. Christian Braun, KansasPlays like:Pat ConnaughtonBraun was the perfect glue guy for Kansas' National Blank Jersey Championship team and his winner's mentality would be an a set to any NBA franchise. The junior forward made his impact felt as a versatile defender, aggre sive rebounder, active cutter and solid perimeter shooter. He's extremely athletic and plays hard-nosed defense, using all of his 6-foot-7, 209-pound frame to get physical with his matchup.Braun is a plug-and-play-type player who could fit on any roster. He'd be a great fit for any team late in the first round that needs a 3-and-D guy who can help fill out a rotation.MarJon Beauchamp, G League IgnitePlays like:Jerami GrantBeauchamp is an athletic forward who can score in a variety of ways. Measuring at 6-foot-7 with a 7-foot-1 wingspan, the Ignite product has the size and length that every NBA team is looking for in a versatile wing these days.Beauchamp averaged 15.1 points per game in his first profe sional season, doing the majority of his damage as a cutter or by running the lane hard in transition. He's a confident shot creator but could benefit from fine-tuning his jumper to truly thrive in a 3-and-D role at the next level. Since he did attend Junior College before joining the Ignite, Beauchamp is a bit older as he'll turn 22 before the start of next season. But he'd be an a set for any team looking for a high-energy player who can rebound and defend multiple positions.Christian Koloko, ArizonaPlays like:Mitchell RobinsonKoloko was one of the best defenders in the country this past season, taking home Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year honors. Coming in at 7-feet tall with a 7-foot-5 wingspan, Koloko has the size and length of a prototypical rim protector, but he's also a plus-athlete with the mobility to provide some switchability on the perimeter.He flashed improved touch out of the post over his three seasons at Arizona and with his verticality, he'll be a lob threat from the dunker spot or out of the pick-and-roll. The Cameroonian prospect is said to have primarily played soccer until he was 15, so he's still developing as a basketball player every year. He could be a diamond in the rough for any Bartolo Colon Jersey team in the late-
Every year, all eyes turn to the Ballon d'Or ceremony, where the best men's and women's players in the world are crowned.Since 1956, some of the biggest names in football history have been honored with the "Golden Ball," an iconic trophy that has become synonymous with the greatest players the game has ever seen.The decade characterized by the back-and-forth struggle for the trophy between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Me si has only served to grow the awarene s and attention surrounding it, and the event has since grown to become a glitzy award show seen around the world. The scrutiny Jose Leclerc Jersey has also led to an evolution of the award's format and the voting proce s.The Ballon d'Or awards night also features more than just two trophies: The best men's goalkeeper, the top male Under-21 player, and honors recognizing the best club, the best goal scorer, and acts of solidarity have now become part of the annual celebration.The Sporting News brings you everything you need to know about the world's most iconic football award and the trophy known as the "Golden Ball."MORE: The Ballon d'Or, or "Golden Ball" in French, is the most prestigious individual award in world football, recognizing the best male and female player around the globe.Some of the greatest players the game has ever seen, such as Lionel Me si, Cristiano Ronaldo, Diego Maradona, Zinedine Zidane, and many others have been bestowed with the Golden Ball.First launched and awarded in 1956 by French publication France Football, the Ballon d'Or has been given out in every single year since, only mi sing the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dak Prescott Jersey The 2022 event will be the 66th edition.In 2018, the Ballon d'Or Feminin was introduced for the first time to honor the best female player in the world. Below are the 2022 finalists for the women's award. The Ballon d'Or is awarded yearly and for the first time in 2022 it will recognize the best player of the previous European club season (runs from August to July) and will be staged in mid-October.For many years the Ballon d'Or was held in late November and December and rewarded the best player of that same calendar year. The timing of the 2022 FIFA World Cup kicking off in November no doubt played a part in the rethinking of the format.Stanley Matthews of Blackpool was the first winner in 1956, just beating out the next two winners of the award, Alfredo Di Stefano (1957, 1959) and Raymond Kopa (1958).MORE: Since its inception in 1956, the Ballon d'Or Taylor Hearn Jersey award is presented by French publication France Football. From 2010 to 2015, France Football had a partnership with world governing body FIFA to make the Ballon d'Or FIFA's official "Player of the Year" award, but since the end of that partnership, the two organizations have gone their separate ways.FIFA now has its official FIFA The Best player awards each year, but the Ballon d'Or is still considered by most fans and media to be the most prestigious individual award in the world.The voting proce s was revised in 2022 to involve a media member from each of the top 100 nations in the FIFA men's world ranking (for the men's Ballon d'Or voting) and from the top 50 nations in the FIFA women's world ranking (for the women's Ballon d'Or vote).The media Ian Gibaut Jersey members vote by selecting names from the list of finalists, and they rank their selections. Each vote is weighted with different point totals a signed based on the specific ranking of the player on the ballot. After all the votes are tallied, the player with the most points is awarded the Ballon d'Or.While the award was initially limited to recognizing the best European player on the continent, in 1995 organizers opened it up to non-Europeans plying their trade in Europe to also be considered. Years later in 2007 the award was expanded further so any player acro s the world could be eligible whether or not they played in Europe.Alongside the change in timeline, voter base and player eligibility, the voting criteria was also updated in 2022 to eliminate consideration for overall career performance, which potentially skewed the 2021 vote in favor of Lionel Me si, and instead focus on three main factors:Individual performance in previous season (no longer by calendar year);Team succe s during the previous season;Player behavior and fair play during the season in consideration. From 2008 to 2021, Lionel Me si and Cristiano Ronaldo dominated the top echelon of world football, winning every Adolis GarcĂa Jersey single Ballon d'Or award in that span except for one, when Luka Modric won in 2018.Nobody in history had remained atop the football world for such a long stretch. As a result, those two players have racked up the most Ballon d'Or awards in history.Lionel Me sihas won the most Ballon d'Or awards, claiming the trophy seven times, while Cristiano Ronaldo has won five.Behind them, nobody in history had won more than three. Michel Platini, Johan Cruyff, and Marco van Basten each won three Ballon d'Or awards, while Franz Beckenbauer, Ronaldo 'O Fenomeno', Alfredo Di Stefano, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, and Kevin Keegan each won two.MORE:
Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow is the NFL's new "Golden Boy."If the Bengals beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game Sunday, then Burrow will have a chance to inch closer to a standard no player has ever accomplished.Burrow continues to pile up accomplishments in his third NFL season. He won the national championship and the Heisman Trophy at LSU. He Caleb Smith Jersey was the No. 1 pick in the 2020. He's on the fast track to a second Super Bowl appearance, and he will be in the NFL MVP conversation for years to come.It's a fast-track of succe s from college to the pros, and a reason why Burrow has an a sortment of nicknames to choose from. Will he be the next "Golden Boy?" What is that standard we're talking about? Let's take a closer look:MORE: Joe Burrow is 26 years old and in his third NFL season. He's Bryan Holaday Jersey the second-oldest quarterback left in the playoffs behind Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes, who is 27. Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts, 24, and San Francisco's Brock Purdy, 23, are younger than Burrow. Burrow was a four-star recruit who earned the coveted Ohio "Mr. Football" award in Ohio after leading Athens High School to the state championship game. He had 157 TD pa ses and 17 interceptions in high school. Burrow spent three years at Ohio State where he graduated before transferring to LSU. In 2019, Burrow enjoyed one of the most-remarkable college football seasons of all time. He pa sed for 5,671 yards and a FBS-record 60 TDs while leading LSU to a perfect 15-0 season. That was voted the by a college football player as part of the SN 150 series. The only one ranked higher was Barry Sanders with Oklahoma State in 1988.Burrow won the Heisman Trophy and was selected with the No. 1 pick by the Bengals in the 2020 NFL Draft.Only six other players won a national championship, Kyle Barraclough Jersey the Heisman Trophy and were taken one in the NFL Draft.That list includes Ernie Davis, O.J. Simpson, Vinny Testaverde, Cam Newton and Jameis Winston.MORE: Paul Hornung, the original "Golden Boy," was the NFL MVP in 1965, a four-time NFL champion and a member of the Green Bay team that won Super Bowl I.Only two No. 1 picks in the Super Bowl have won a Super Bowl and a NFL MVP award since. That short list is Peyton Manning and John Elway. Cam Newton is the last No. 1 pick to get close. He won the NFL MVP Award in 2015, but the Panthers lost 24-10 to the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. Only two quarterbacks have won a as a starter. That list includes Joe Montana and Joe Namath. Tom Brady was a backup Brad Ziegler Jersey quarterback on Michigan's national championship team in 1997.No Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback has won a national title and a Super Bowl. The only Heisman winners to win both are Marcus Allen, Tony Dorsett and Charles Woodson. Now put it all together. No player has won all of the following:National championshipHeisman TrophyNo. 1 overall pickSuper Bowl winNFL MVP awardBurrow could get one step closer by leading the Bengals to a victory in Super Bowl 57.Here is a look at the players who accomplished three of those five feats: National championship, Heisman Trophy, No. 1 pick, Super Bowl winner, NFL MVP.

He could win a national championship and a Super Bowl in a four-year period.That is on par with two other legendary quarterbacks with the same name.Namath won the national championship with Alabama in 1964 and Super Bowl III with the Jets in 1968. Montana won the national title with Notre Dame in 1977 and the first of four Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers in 1981. Those were five-year stretches.Burrow could do it in four years, and he still is on his rookie contract with the Bengals. There is more than enough time to pile up awards, and Burrow made it clear how long the window to win a Super Bowl will be in Cincinnati in a pre s Jarlin Garcia Jersey conference on Jan. 21."The window's my whole career," .That's a golden response, isn't it?
Draymond Green sounded like he was confident that the Celtics' 'others' wouldn't shoot lights out from long-range again this series following his team's 120-108 lo s in Game 1.The Celtics got great contributions from Al Horford, Derrick White and Marcus Smart, who combined for 15 of the team's 21 made 3-pointers in the game.MORE:Green Starlin Castro Jersey believes that the Warriors had the better of the Celtics for "41 or 42 minutes" in the game.Draymond doesn't seem too concerned with the hot shooting from Al Horford, Sandy Alcantara Jersey Marcus Smart and Derrick White Warriors on NBCS (@NBCSWarriors) However, one former Celtic had something to say about Green's comments post-game, too.NBA LEAGUE PASS: Kendrick Perkins, who won a title with Boston in 2008, shot down Green's belief that the Dubs will be fine saying, "That was a whole lot of lying for the simple fact ... 'we'll be fine,' no you won't," Perkins said on NBC Sports Boston's Celtics Postgame Live."That was a whole lot of lying. 'We'll be fine.' No you won't!" react to Draymond's comments after Game 1 Celtics on NBC Sports Boston (@NBCSCeltics) "The Warriors scored 16 points in the fourth quarter. 16," Perkins continued. "That ain't just happen because they were mi sing shots. No, the Celtics were getting Bryan Holaday Jersey to them, they couldn't get the ball to get they shot off."They were on their a** like diapers on a baby. That's what it was, that's exactly what it was."MORE:Green, a three-time NBA champion himself, understands that a Finals series has ebbs and flows and that Wei-Yin Chen Jersey the Warriors mustn't get too down off one lo s.This isn't the first time these two have exchanged words during these playoffs, either.Following the Warriors' Game 6 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in the second round, Green called out Perkins by name in his post-game media conference.MORE:"I saw somebody say I'm scared to shoot the basketball. Scared and me in the same sentence... a big ogre on TV talking about what Draymond say ain't the gospel. It is the gospel," he said."These are people who get employed on TV to talk about our game... You make that pa s, I would like to see it. I played against that guy by the way, I'm talking about Kendrick Perkins for those of Caleb Smith Jersey y'all who don't know."Something tells us this won't be the last exchange between the pair these Finals either.
