We’ll get to the obvious elephant in the room at the end of the article. It’s been a long, long time without League One football to keep us entertained. Well, not as long as last summer’s 20-year wait due to how we finished the 2022/23 season, but three months between the end of one season and the start of the next one is always a long stretch. Even with Euros football to keep us entertained, it really does almost feel like a lifetime ago when we last saw the Royals kick a competitive ball in action.

Everyone has been astounded by South Sudan’s ability to compete fiercely against the most successful squad in international play. South Sudan came dangerously close to winning in a friendly matchup with Team USA, but LeBron James’ outstanding play helped Team USA win 101–100. James finished with 25 points, six rebounds, and seven assists. However, soon after the game, former NBA player Paul Pierce made some jokes about the height of the South Sudan players, which led to heavy criticism from the fans. However, the ten-time NBA All-Star recently apologized for his statement. During a recent episode of Undisputed, Pierce apologized for his previous unnecessary comments on South Sudan after their near upset against Team USA.

There is a story that Canadian basketball lifer and former men’s national team coach Jay Triano likes to tell about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. It’s a July morning in Manila, 2016. Team Canada is in the Philippines for the Olympic Qualifying Tournament. The entire roster is on the team bus, bright and early, headed to its first practice. Everyone but Gilgeous-Alexander, a surprise inclusion as a 17-year-old rising senior who was months away from committing to Kentucky: a teenager on a team full of grown adults—including Tristan Thompson, who’d just won an NBA championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers a few weeks prior. The youngster soon to be known as SGA was nowhere to be found. “OK, let’s go,” Triano, then in his second stint as the head coach of the national team, told the driver. We’re going to show young fella you can’t be late for a bus, Triano thought. As the team got off the bus and stepped onto the court, Triano saw Shai already working out with national icon Steve Nash, then the Canadian men’s national team general manager. “I guess Steve had woken him up and said, ‘Come on, you’re not playing a whole lot. Let’s go to the gym,’” Triano told The Ringer last week. “And they spent a couple hours in the gym before we even got there for our practice. And when Steve takes an interest in somebody, then he believes in that guy.”
