Dikembe Mutombo’s passing is a significant loss to the basketball community and the
world at large. Mutombo was not only known for his impressive skills on the court,
where he was a defensive powerhouse and an eight-time NBA All-Star, but also for his
immense philanthropic efforts. His contributions through the Dikembe Mutombo
Foundation have brought vital healthcare and educational resources to many in need,
particularly in his home country, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. His legacy as a
player and a humanitarian will undoubtedly be remembered and celebrated by many.

Pete Rose, also known as “Charlie Hustle,” was widely regarded as one of the greatest
baseball players of all time, known for his remarkable achievements on the field. Over
his 24-year career in Major League Baseball, Rose accumulated an impressive 4,256
hits, making him the all-time leader in this category—a record that still stands today. He
was a versatile player, excelling in multiple positions, including first base, second base,
and the outfield. Rose won three World Series championships and was named an
All-Star 17 times, showcasing his talent in hitting, running, and fielding. In addition to his
on-field prowess, Rose was the 1963 National League Rookie of the Year and earned the
1973 Most Valuable Player award. However, his legacy is also marred by his
involvement in gambling, which resulted in a lifetime ban from baseball. Despite this
controversy, Rose’s accomplishments in the sport have solidified his status as a
baseball icon.

Abdul Salaam, formerly known as Larry James Faulk, is recognized for his impactful
career in the National Football League (NFL), where he played primarily as a defensive
end and linebacker. Notably, he was a member of the legendary ‘New York Sack
Exchange’ which included Hall of Famer Joe Klecko, Mark Gastineau and Marty Lyons.
The formidable defensive line led the NFL in sacks with 66 in 1981. Salaam was a
seventh-round draft pick in 1976, selected by the New York Jets. Salaam’s athleticism
and skill on the field contributed to his reputation as a formidable defensive player. Over his NFL career, he played primarily for the Jets, then got traded to the San Diego
Chargers after the 1983 season, making significant contributions during his tenure.
Salaam has earned recognition for his defensive prowess. Beyond his on-field success,
Salaams’ legacy is further enriched by his dedication to community service and youth
programs, showcasing his commitment to making a positive impact off the field.

The WBC. Ohtani vs Trout. No one saw this showdown coming. But it lived up to its hype and then some. This was pure old school in its prime Heavyweight Championship Boxing. Pitching and hitting phenomenon Shohei Ohtani versus big time slugger Mike Trout. For all those who would talk of a dream match up between the two. We were now going to see it go down live for all the bragging rights.

Congrats Team Japan on your WBC win. Well deserved! Now let’s see if the upcoming 2023 MLB season can replicate this magic.

Manny Machado on the drastic rule changes MLB will institute for the 2023 season:

“You’re going to have some players who are going to be freakin’ angry and pissed off. You’re going to have players pissed off at the umpires who are just following rules. We’re going to be seeing some crazy shit for sure.”

One to watch. One to REALLY watch! Ambidextrous pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje throws absolute heat in his first collegiate start. Cijntje, a freshman at Mississippi State, threw four scoreless innings in MSU’s 14-3 win over Louisiana-Monroe. Cijntje struck out seven and allowing just one hit in four scoreless innings. Cijntje is ambidextrous and can throw with velocity with either his left or right arm! He tops 90 miles per hour on both sides. MAJOR.

97mph on the right arm. 92mph on the left arm.

The Miami Heat set an NBA record at the free throw line going 40-40, beating OKC 112-111. Jimmy Butler went 23-23 from the line en route for 35 points. Butler iced the game with 12.9 seconds left in the 4th.

Twins?? Originally no. Giants?? No. Mets?? Let’s examine further…Carlos Correa pivots back and signs a six year $200 million deal to play with the Minnesota Twins. Make that make sense.
