Last night's selection of a Tar Heel was the school's first 1st rounder since 2021. Meanwhile, Jon Scheyer gets 3 in the top 10.
One of our local sports pundits here in the Triangle is predicting a career for Cooper Flagg that looks like Christian Laettner's NBA career. 13 seasons, 13 points/game, 7 rebounds/game, 2.5 assists/game. That's a nice career.

KD dealt to Houston.
Mavs fans, I know you will *always* be salty about Luka being dealt to the Lakers, but at least you didn't completely tank your team's future like PHX did in acquiring KD. And, y'all won the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes!

I hope there is no serious talk about adding an asterisk to OKC's championship. If you have this season's SGA on your team, there are no asterisks.

It would be kinda funny if he hit every single one of the incentives but with 4th line ice time the entire season.

$2 million base with, I believe, $5 million more in incentives.

I've seen it said online that this trade was akin to the Luka trade as far as value returned for him.

Carlos Alcaraz beats Janek Sinner in five sets after dropping the first two sets to win the longest (and some say best) French Open Men's Final ever played.
It was a match for the ages. Really, it was. Sinner had 3 or 4 championship points in the 4th set, but couldn't convert. That's when Carlos just took over. That's not to say that Sinner rolled over and played dead; no, far from it. Incredible match that had me, Mr Casual Tennis Fan, on the couch since set 4. Incredible come from behind victory.

I am truly neutral on the NBA Finals, but for hockey, as time goes on I find myself rooting more *for* Canada getting the Cup back instead of my initial *against* Florida.

I didn't mind it either and I 100% understand why they did it. I still remember how small our cathode ray tube TVs were back in the '90s and the puck was hard to keep up with if you weren't used to the flow of an NHL game.

Question for the hockey experts: If a player commits a penalty and the opponent scores on the ensuing Power Play, does their personal +/- take a ding even though they weren't on the ice?
If a team on the power play scores a goal, there is no + and - given to anyone. If, on the other hand, the shorthanded team scores a goal, then a + and - is given.

Alexander Ovechkin just finished his 20th season in the NHL. In his career, the Caps made the playoffs 16 times. 8 times they made it out of the first round. They made it past the second round once. And of course, that was their Cup winning year.

Thanks for the sincere answer to my baiting questions, Ufez. For sure Dallas should pick Cooper Flagg. That dude really is incredible and he's still only 18 stinking years old. He has a very high floor so Dallas needs to pick him and take their time with the kid in grooming him to be a true NBA superstar.
posted by NoMich at 09:26 PM on May 13, 2025
So, now Dallas has a decision to make: is Flagg really a generational player like Wemby? Or a nice piece to have? Why not trade him for Giannis?
posted by NoMich at 03:49 PM on May 13, 2025
Rigged!! This is the second time that Charlotte has been conspired against by the NBA when a generational Duke player is available as the #1 overall pick.
On edit:
Wait, that's not quite true. The other time the Hornets got screwed by the NBA is when Dallas Mavericks legend, Anthony Davis, got gifted to the Pelicans.

Listen, I gotta admit, I would love to see Shadeur emerge as the starter in Cleveland, leading them to multiple Super Bowls victories, and ending up in the Hall of Fame.
