Let’s take a moment to appreciate American women in sports of the 21st century
I will say it loudly and frequently – celebrate women in sports. They belong in sports. They belong wherever the hell they want to belong. Gender has zero bearing on knowledge about a topic.

Naomi Osaka isn't Serena Williams' rival – she's her legacy

With millennials headed for the nursing home, let’s revisit the Osaka-Williams rivalry and other great generational clashes

Zion Williamson could start seeing Giannis treatment if he doesn’t diversify his game
Zion Williamson is only 50 games into his career as a New Orleans Pelican but it already seems clear that he’s going to be a problem for years to come — if he can stay healthy and in shape. Through 50 games, he’s averaging 23.6 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game. According to ESPN Stats and I...
Venus Williams is still there

That is, outside of a shocking Bradley Beal or Ben Simmons transaction. Or perhaps a Victor Oladipo re-routing, but even that’s depend...
