No NBA team has ever brought more scoring into a season than the current Sixers team.
Maxey, Embiid, Brown, LeBron and Simons averaged a combined 118.8 PPG over the last 2 seasons (with Edgecombe instead of Simons, it's 117.7 - still tops). Old record: 115.9, the 2021-22 Nets.

If she shows up in uniform expecting to go in, i’ll call this “weird.” What’s really weird is obsessively tracking and feigning outrage over her sideline antics rather than talking about whether she is going to fire Steichen now or wait until the end of the season.
Indianapolis Colts Owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon is under fire for an unusual team management approach in which the billionaire dons a game-day headset, studies play-call sheets, and asks questions of coaching staff during games.

If asked who has had the best rookie season in the WNBA in the 2020s, only right answer: @oliviamiles06. This analysis which goes beyond the box score ranks Miles 8th among all rookies, ahead of Paige Bueckers’ and every other rookie this decade. @minnesotalynx @LIFTSPORTSMNGMT
Olivia Miles: 19.7 points, 6 assists, 50/40/87, in 31 minutes a night. The best player, on the best team, as a rookie.
She lands 8th on our ranking of 265 qualifying rookie campaigns in WNBA history, and the highest ranking for a guard.

LeBron James joins 76ers in 2-year deal worth $8M, per @ShamsCharania. His decision certainly wasn't about the $ after $1.7 Billion in career earnings via salary and endorsements since he turned pro in 2003.

"The analytics of Jaylen Brown is not good."
Actually, they're excellent. Elite scorer, regular season and playoffs, paid the market rate for exactly that.

“There’s mixed feelings about him.”🤯
@BobbyMarks42 tells @BGeltzNBA and @SamMitchellNBA the market for Jaylen Brown isn’t as robust as it might seem.

Good stuff from @wagesofwins for anyone involved in W CBA and whoever is vying for Engelbert’s seat: if W players had a contract structured like men, Napheesa, A’ja, Alyssa, Caitlin, many, would make $3M/year. Underscores that players make the W valuable, not other way around.
Wrote this for the New York Times today!! W.N.B.A. is doing very well! Time to pay the players!!
Thanks to Sara Chodosh for the cool graphics (and asking me to write this!!)

Fly @Eagles Fly! We’re going Green and White in honor of the Eagles NFC Championship Victory.
So sad. Grant Wahl was the coolest, smartest, most gracious journalist. 10 years ago I reached out for help with a source & for years we would catch up, swap notes. Of course it was always him giving and me taking, but he made it feel the opposite. He was a truly great person.
Russia kicked from the World Cup qualifying matches it was to play in a few weeks as FIFA and UEFA suspended all Russian teams from participation in competitions until further notice. fifa.com/tournaments/mens/wo…
Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day, especially to my fierce athlete, one of two girls on her hockey team. Odd there’s a boxing ring at a rink, but this is a great metaphor for what she and many girls & women are up against in sports and why this day is needed. #NGWSD

Multiple sources familiar tell @ForbesSports that Cristiano Ronaldo to Man City is NOT a done deal, as reported by other outlets.
Unable to confirm/deny if "yet" should be on the end of that sentence. Seems like a lot of moving parts to this.
We do all need this. Unsure I have ever been moved by a story like I am this. The way @JenSeniorNY so thoughtfully wove together how family and friends have managed their grief since losing Bobby McIlvaine at the WTC on 9/11 had me in tears to the end. Brilliant last sentence.
This is the story of what followed—and what I learned about love, grief, and the stories we all need. 8/8 theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…
As expected, most of Messi merch on PSG’s (English) online store is sold out. One of the kids jersey’s went from 5 left to 4 left in the second it took for me to click on it. Few are pre-order.
