Jaylen Brown is having himself a month. After insinuating that he was left off the Team USA roster because of his criticism of Nike, the Celtics star decided to watch a little Summer League action in Vegas when he was filmed court side with WNBA players Angel Reese and Kysre Gondrezick.

The 2024 NBA Draft class was considered weak at the top after some of the most highly touted prospects coming into the cycle struggled more than expected in their pre-draft season. Matas Buzelis fits that description. The 6’10 forward was the No. 1 player on our initial board published the day after the 2023 draft, but a rough season in the G League where he shot the ball poorly and lost constantly pushed him down to the No. 11 pick, where the Chicago Bulls happily scooped him up.

The Argentina national team’s celebrations after winning the Copa América included a partially live-streamed rendition of a racist chant from the 2022 World Cup, aimed at the France national team’s players. That video, posted by Chelsea’s own Enzo Fernández, has earned them fairly universal condemnation, just as...

USA Basketball can no longer claim to be the single dominant international force it once was in the men’s division. Poor showings at the last two FIBA World Cup competitions — a seventh place finish in 2019 and a fourth place finish in 2023 — showed cracks in the armor. The end of Team USA’s 25-game Olympic winning streak to France at the 2021 Tokyo games proved that even the program’s best rosters can be beaten. There’s no doubt the rest of the globe is catching up. With the arrival of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Team USA is out to prove it still runs the world.

In a night where it was seemingly wise to expect the unexpected, it was Teoscar Hernández from the Los Angeles Dodgers who wound up becoming MLB's Home Run Derby champion for 2024. Indeed, just one season after his good buddy Vladimir Guerrero Jr. won the Derby, Hernández joined his pal in the pantheon of Derby winners by hitting a grand total of 49 homers on the night.

The Daily Hilario: Looking to add a contributor to WAGNH; could it be you?

Having only just survived relegation by the skin of their teeth, Sunderland manager Terry Butcher was keen to bolster his squad ahead of the upcoming 1993-94 campaign. With Ian Rodgerson’s transfer from Birmingham City already confirmed a week earlier and only two Division One teams scoring fewer league goals than the Lads during the previous season it was no surprise to learn that a proven striker was now at the top of his wanted list, and after several twists and turns this was the day that a crucial move finally looked to be on.

The MLB First Year Player Draft is one of the most exciting and important times for any baseball team.

Major League Baseball held its 94th All-Star Game on Tuesday night in Texas, the first to be hosted by the Rangers since 1995. That particular Midsummer Classic featured some of the most dangerous hitters of the ‘90s, like Barry Bonds, Frank Thomas, Tony Gwynn, Cal Ripken Jr., and Mike Piazza. The MVP, however, turned out to be little-known Marlins outfielder Jeff Conine, who hit the go-ahead homer in the eighth.

The Copa America final between Argentina and Colombia was supposed to be a crowning of the best team in the Americas. With Colombia riding a 22-match unbeaten streak and Argentina being the defending Copa champions and World Cup champions, it was the perfect showcase of the talent in this region of the world. With the World Cup is coming to North America in 2026, a major tournament being hosted here would provide a glimpse into what the world could be looking forward to.

The Copa America final was a disaster in more ways than one

As usual, we all know what the shirts look like by now. Leaks months and months in advance have already unveiled just about every single little detail. The vast majority appeared unimpressed by what we were seeing at the time. And unfortunately, the reality we see now isn’t any better.
