There's not even a running back or wide receiver worthy of the top overall pick, someone with the kind of swagger that wins over fans weary of losing. More

From Tim Duncan to Kevin Garnett and Steph Curry, LeBron James’ 21-year NBA career has featured postseason matchups against some of the best to ever do it. For the Lakers forward, Nikola Jokic is right there among them.
“He’s one of the best players to ever play this game. It’s that simple,” James said after practice on Friday at Ball Arena.
James said he feels healthier than last year when Los Angeles got swept by the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals.
Nathan MacKinnon did not become one of five players to ever record 100 assists in an NHL season. He did not score the most goals in the league in nearly 30 years.

The Rockies series opener against the Mariners on Friday at Coors Field was postponed due to inclement weather.

Following a sign-stealing scandal that rocked the sport and hung over Michigan’s championship run in 2023, the NCAA’s football oversight committee approved Friday the use of coach-to-player helmet communications in games for the 2024 season.
