Final Summer League Takeaways, Team USA Concern Level, and Luol Deng’s Master Class

Fresh off the plane, right off the bat, I got to the hotel and was starstruck. Nemanja Bjelica was in the queue to check in. Sidy Cissoko was looking at his phone next to one of the in-house restaurants. Known gourmand, Death Cab for Cutie scholar, and open-denim-shirt enthusiast Rob Mahoney later told me that I am a sicko for recognizing Sidy. I told him it’s my business to know, and that I’m already feeling at home because summer league is the place where the sickos come to congregate. It’s the place where a Blake Hinson and Quincy Olivari heat-check duel breaks out. It’s the place where Miles Bridges can be seen roaming a casino floor in a jester hat (this really happened). It’s the place where a grown man can pump his fist in a Matt Maloney jersey and chino shorts … and the place where someone else will excitedly take a picture of him.

Mets Take the ’24 Subway Series

Is there any such thing as a “normal” Olympics? Hard to say! After all, there are really only two reliable certainties about any given Games: (1) that they will be an expensive boondoggle, and (2) that the unexpected and absurd have a way of winning the day. For athletes, making it to the Olympics is the culmination of a lifelong dream, the payoff for decades of dedication and sacrifice. For everyday viewers, on the other hand, watching the global sporting event means respecting all of that hard work … while also sending rower dong memes to colleagues and saying things like, “You catch that greased-up Tongan?” in polite conversation. (Gonna miss that guy.)
