OT: The Other Sports Thread VII - NBA Finals: Raptors vs Warriors

[peate]

UNC@Duke tonight. 9PM EST on TSN2. You should watch.

I'm actually about 50 miles away from Cameron Indoor Stadium right now.

Go Tar Heels

How crappy is it that Zion Willamson had to leave the game 33 seconds into it. Not that I'm a Duke fan or anything, but his absence resulted in a lot less entertainment value and shifted the competitive balance of the game. This hasn't been the classic I and many others were hoping for.

Georges St-Pierre officially retired. Gratz for your fantastic career George!

I wonder how to the Pats fans feel given the massive story of Robert Kraft soliciting prostitutes.

DeRozan's return to Toronto tonight. Must see TV. If only for the ovation he's going to get (deservedly so) before the game.

Who cares? Ive never been with a prosti but it should be legal and in canada it is 100% legal to sell sexual services just not to solicite them in public places.

Those who are against human trafficing. You must not be one of those who care about a lot of those women being forced into prostitution against their will.

Human traficking is a travesty, but nowhere is it mentioned he was involved in human trafficking. I've met many many prostitutes throughtout the world their great, mostly very smart and extremely fun to party with, and all of them have gone into it willingly and for the love of money (yes i've asked why their in it and yes i'm the nerd who has heart to heart with prosties).

If you're going to acuse someone of human trafficking because they were with a prostitute then you might as well acuse someone of being a nazi because they bought a volkswagen.

Just to be clear, I have never accused Kraft of being involved in human trafficing. But I have heard there were allegations of those women involved with those FLA massage parlors being victims of such. So the ethical issue is still there IMO.

Report: Bryce Harper agrees to join Phillies - Sportsnet.ca
What do you think @montreal ? Good move for your Phillies ? 330 for 13 years is total crazytown, obviously.

It's a little too much money but it adds to their great off-season, they are now legit WS contenders.

This is the one thing about the kid that sorta worries me. He's got a bulky frame and his weight is probably always gonna have to be kept under control.

He looks slow as molasse on the base. On the news yesterday they showed a video of him not scoring from 2nd base on a hit and he should have scored easily but it was not even close he was easily out. He really looks out of shape. Wont be that much of a problem as a DH for his first few years but if it's something that doesn't change it will problem shorten his career. It's worrying cause he is a fantastic hitter.

You don't really want a 20 year old to already be a DH though, it's pretty unprecedented. They're working him at third base right now but you need pretty good range at that position, I don't know if it's going to be the right fit. They could try him at LF or 1st base I guess, i.e the Miguel Cabrera model.

“The first thing when I went in was the ice-cream machine,” Guerrero said, with a smile. “I was looking for that. I found out it wasn’t there any more. It’s something I remember pretty much. The first thing every day I came here with my dad, before, during, after games was to eat ice cream from that machine.”

Man loves his food.

LeBron passes Jordan: NBA player reaction, shot chart and highlights
Pretty historic moment all told. I never quite got over the whole ''the decision'' thing but I have to give the dude credit, he's the best player of his generation by a good margin. Best ever will obviously always be up to debate.

Well apparently fatigue doesn't affect FAA despite him being 18 years old.

 

[GoodKiwi]

I can't believe there's a real possibility of the Cardinals drafting Kyler Murray first overall. Are all these speculative reports coming out lately just a smokescreen? This can't possibly take place, can it?

In other news, AB finally traded to OAK.

It's been an amazing 48 hours as a Jets fan. And they still have about $40-50M in cap space!

OBJ just traded to the Browns as it's been rumored to happen for sometime now.
