Boston Celtics backup point guard Payton Pritchard is having himself an amazing year, and former NBA star Blake Griffin is now a big part of that. Back in June, the 26-year-old from Oregon helped lead the Celtics to an NBA Finals win over the Dallas Mavericks, securing his first ring. In July, Pritchard was named to the USA select team and practiced with the Olympic squad to prepare them for the 2024 Paris Olympics. On Sunday, Pritchard added to his 2024 experience by getting married to social media influencer Emma MacDonald.  Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown was in attendance for the wedding ceremony and posted a video on his Instagram story of Pritchard and MacDonald. To many fans' surprise, Griffin was officiating the wedding.

Team USA men's basketball is preparing for the gold medal game against France. It took an improbable fourth-quarter comeback by Team USA, thanks in large part to the heroics of Stephen Curry, to get the win over Serbia.

We should have known Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum was destined for greatness when he showed us how he could still flush the rock while wearing a suit of armor.
He was a not yet drafted prospect out of Duke at the time of his appearance  in an ESPN “Sports Science” segment. In it, the St. Louis native dunked basketballs while quite literally going medieval on the rim. Tatum even managed a pretty impressive if labored dunk in a full set of chain mail armor created to “test the limits” of the former Blue Devil’s posterization skills.
Now we know that...
