Everything might not be perfect in Boston after all.
While the Celtics won their NBA-best 18th title in June, one of the team’s stars posted a cryptic message on social media after a decision was made that was out of his hands.
After it was announced that superstar Kawhi Leonard was withdrawing from Team USA’s Olympic basketball competition, Celtics guard and fellow defensive whiz Derrick White was named as Leonard’s replacement.

During the 2023-24 regular season, Brown was strong yet again, earning a third All-Star nod by posting 23 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll.

They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
