Who gets to be a fan? It seems that if Bo French had his way, fandom would be determined based on the color of your skin and where your parents were born. Fortunately for this brown son of an immigrant, he doesn't.

Who is the next coach for USA Basketball? Keep an eye on Mark Daigneault, J.B. Bickerstaff, and yes, Gonzaga’s Mark Few — who are all going to join Erik Spoelstra’s staff through the 2028 Olympics pending board approval. @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7445518…

Hey now... you're an All-Star ⭐️ The Blue Jays' Ernie Clement is making his Midsummer Classic debut in style as the AL leading vote-getter! Clement is 3rd in hits and tied for the lowest strikeout% (9.9) in the AL 👏 The most votes cast in MLB were for the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani, who gets his 6th nod on the strength of his 1.79 ERA and team-leading 18 HR 💪

The winningest coach in Kings history is also the father of Nuggets head coach David Adelman
The Sacramento Kings organization is deeply saddened by the passing of Rick Adelman, a beloved coach whose leadership, character, and vision helped define an era of Kings basketball that inspired our city and captivated fans around the world.       During his eight seasons in Sacramento, he led the team to unprecedented success and helped create some of the most memorable moments in franchise history. For an entire generation of Kings fans, Coach Adelman represented the very best of Sacramento basketball, and he will be remembered for the way he inspired those around him – with humility, integrity, kindness, and an unwavering belief in the power of teamwork. His leadership helped establish a culture that continues to resonate throughout our organization today.      Our thoughts are with Mary Kay, his family, friends, former players, and all who loved him.
