The year Kawhi Leonard shifted the NBA landscape
In 2019, Kawhi Leonard…lit the NBA world on fire. Today, Kawhi’s prime seems to be nearing the end due to the lingering issues with his right knee that have persisted for more than 5 years and perhaps newer NBA fans might not even be sure what all the hype is about for a guy who’s averaged about 46 games in the last 5 seasons. But a healthy Kawhi, was arguably a top 3 player in the League in his prime, and he had shown glimpses of it in the few seasons before joining the clippers. But in the 2018-19 postseason specifically, he made his case as the best player in the world. However, what many might not remember is the aftermath of Kawhi’s dominance in that post season and how it changed the league in the years that followed… almost in some sort of butterfly effect.

Tyson Fury VS. Oleksandr Usyk | FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS #boxing #sports #action #combat #fighting
Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs), entering the ring with the WBA, IBF, and WBO belts, secured Tyson Fury's (34-1-1, 24 KOs) WBC and lineal titles, thus becoming undisputed. The last time boxing witnessed an undisputed heavyweight champion was in 2000 during Lennox Lewis's reign in the three-belt era. The momentum shifted notably in the ninth round when Usyk nearly concluded the match and secured a knockdown. Two judges scored the bout 115-112 and 114-113 for Usyk, while the third adjudged it 114-113 for Fury. Both pugilists initiated the bout with active jabs, yet Usyk set the tempo and landed more impactful shots in the initial rounds. In the first round's closing moments, he caught Fury with a looping left hook and commenced the second round with a solid two-punch combination. Usyk persisted in pressing forward in the third round, though Fury started finding his rhythm, throwing increased combinations and landing effective body shots despite fighting defensively. Despite this, Fury stayed busy behind his jab and executed a solid right uppercut early in the fourth round, followed by a potent right hand to the body, causing Usyk to retreat. In the sixth round, a significant right uppercut stunned Usyk, visibly affecting him and prompting a momentary defensive cover-up. Fury sought to establish control, displaying agility and taunting Usyk while landing precise jabs. Another powerful right uppercut by Fury in the seventh round made Usyk retreat, yet Usyk persisted, striking Fury with a straight right hand and concluding the round with a combination. In the eighth round, Usyk exhibited resilience, landing a three-punch combination and compelling Fury to retreat into the ropes after a potent overhand left. Subsequently, Usyk connected with a substantial two-punch combination and staggered Fury with a looping right hand in the round's waning seconds, causing swelling below Fury's right eye.

The Athletic on Kevin Durant: “Meanwhile, Durant, among the best scorers in NBA history, was not always happy with how he was used. Sources briefed on the matter told The Athletic that Durant never felt comfortable with his role in Phoenix’s offense alongside Booker and Beal this season. Those sources said Durant had persistent issues with the offense, feeling that he was being relegated to the corner far too often and not having the proper designs to play to his strengths as the offense was built around pick-and-rolls. At the same time, some teammates and people close to the organization believed Durant needed to voice his concerns more adamantly and directly with Vogel and his coaching staff.” Kevin Durant next team odds: - Miami Heat: +300 - Oklahoma City Thunder: +400 - New York Knicks: +600 - Philadelphia 76ers: +700 - San Antonio Spurs: +800 Hit the 🔔 & set to 'ALL' so you can be the first person to comment on our 76ers YouTube videos! 76ers news updates from Chase Senior on social media can be found here: - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chase_senior/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/Chase_Senior Stay updated on the latest Sixers free agency rumors and Sixers trade rumors during the NBA offseason, all in one place: https://www.chatsports.com/philadelphia-76ers Kevin Durant trade proposal: 76ers Receive: - Kevin Durant Suns Receive: - Tobias Harris (F) - Buddy Hield (G) - De’Anthony Melton (G) - 2024 1st (16th OVR) - 2026 1st (via OKC/HOU/LAC) - 2028 1st (via LAC) Would you accept this trade?

Cubs' bullpen problems persist in 6-3 loss to Padres | The Daily Score
On this edition of The Daily Score, Mark Grote discusses the Cubs' bullpen and clutch hitting problems persisting in their 6-3 loss ...
There Was A STAGGERING Turn Of Events In The Play-In…
Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: https://heatcheck.info/ Nobody could have predicted a scenario where the home crowd is booing their own team in the middle of a crucial game like this. And to be able to turn things around and come back from that is even more insane. You knew that this was going to be a wild ride right from the beginning when Miami imposed their own playing style and made this a complete slugfest full of tough shots and turnovers. And of course Miami came into this game with their famous zone defense that completely disrupted the offensive flow for Philadelphia, and at times the Sixers looked absolutely clueless on offense. Everything seemed to be going according to the plan for the Heat, until a frightening moment took place, dropping the hearts of Miami fans. Despite being in obvious pain, Butler once again displays the determination of a true warrior and continues playing as if nothing happened. And Miami executes their plan to perfection forcing Philly into a 6 for 23 shooting in the second quarter. A horrific 26%. This allowed them to open up a twelve point lead at halftime despite shooting below average themselves. With Maxey and Embiid at only 3 for 9 and 2 for 8 from the field, and the crowd booing their own team- things were looking grim for the Sixers. And it went from bad to worse in the third quarter when… But then, seemingly out of nowhere, unlikely heroes step up for Philly… And then the crowd exploded because… The role players completely turn this game around in the blink of an eye, led by Nick Batum who knocked down 3 threes in this period. And now, with the crowd back on their side, and them getting back into the game, we’re in for a dog fight in the 4th quarter. And with the defensive gameplan being centered around Joel Embiid, Philly needed the rest of the team to step up when it matters the most, and boy, Nick Batum continued to do that. Unbelievable, Batum is saving the season for Philadelphia in the crucial moments of the game. The Sixers now have all the momentum in the 4th quarter, but just when they thought that they were close to the win… With Butler clearly being affected by the injury, Tyler went hero mode scoring 16 points in the 4th quarter single handedly keeping the Heat in this game. And with the game tied up in the final minute, Miami’s smothering defense seemingly has the Sixers right where they want them, buuut…. Finally, Philly figures it out at the most important time of the game, giving them the lead at the end. But then, things really escalate because… Wooow Nick Batum comes up huge once again to send the arena into a frenzy and give his team the opportunity to make this a 2 possession game. As it turns out, this would seal the deal for Philadelphia as their clutch free throw shooting kept Miami at distance in the final seconds, and secured the win for them. From boos to cheers, what a shocking turnaround as they now go to the playoffs against the Knicks, and Miami’s valiant effort falls short and they face off against the winner of Chicago and Atlanta. And speaking of that, this do or die game started out as a back and forth battle until the final minutes of the first quarter when the Bulls decided to go ballistic and with a furious run. The Bulls storm out to an 18 point lead in the first, but now comes the spectacle, as the Bulls shot 59% from the field in the second quarter and in any other game they would probably build onto their lead. Only thing is… As shocking as it sounds, Atlanta outmatched Chicago’s shooting with a stunning 69 and a half percent as they seemingly couldn’t miss and cut the deficit all the way to 3 Despite Trae Young’s slow first half going 1-5 and 10 points, he made his presence felt and made great plays to find his teammates Coming back from an 18 point deficit, you would think that the momentum is now on Atlanta’s side in the third. And it was a tight game until… The Bulls go on another crazy run in the third quarter absolutely shutting down Atlanta, while shooting 65% from the field themselves. And they blow this game open when So, coming down to the finish line, in front of their fans, all the Bulls have to do now is take care of business in the 4th And Coby White definitely did that He was unstoppable, scoring 14 points in the final period for a stunning 42, 9 and 6 for the game The win was never in doubt in the final 12 minutes as Chicago knock out the Hawks and go for the final play in game against the Heat. And with the latest news that Jimmy Butler would miss several weeks with an MCL injury, this is a golden opportunity for Chicago to advance to the playoffs for a matchup against the juggernaut Boston Celtics. Admittedly, even if they make it there, this would be mission impossible for the Bulls, but still the playoffs would come as a reward for their persistence throughout the season and not giving up when they could clearly do that, especially after Zach Lavine announced that he’ll miss the rest of the season
