Audi Crooks Chasing History
Audi Crooks is chasing history as a 6-foot-3 center out of Iowa State. She has the potential to do wonders.
She is a 2025-All American that recently tied Caitlin Clark’s Iowa record for 37+ points accounted four times in a single season. She has been working with two penetrating scorers on Iowa State’s offense and shooting the ball back up.
There is no proper back up for Crooks. She currently leads the nation in scoring and has scored in double figures 79 consecutive times.
Crooks deserves merit to her credit as she continues to lead Iowa St. 10th in the nation.

Why Seth Curry is not Part of the Problem
It was announced Sunday, Seth Curry would be joining older brother, Steph in Golden State and the Warriors are receiving positive feedback. While Seth helps with shooting efficiency, it is tough to say he is part of the problem brewing.
Take for instance, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler’s outcry at a presser, prior to Thanksgiving. None of them were thankful for the current situation and Steph injured himself again. What should be held accountable is Steph.
His younger brother is plausible to fans surrounded by the situation but this does not impact throughout all of Steph’s insurmountable injuries.
The front office is widely regarded for Bob Myers departure and it did not make sense because he grew up loving Golden State basketball.
However, owner Joe Lacob has held a huge responsibility for spending an extruding amount of money and it cost him, retaining Steph’s value all this while.
Seth might as well be considered the bow for Christmas, shooting 45 percent from three-point land last year, but it does not solve anything from the truth.

Where will Stephen Curry Rank All-Time
Stephen Curry was in the middle of a Google Pixel commercial as this was written so it might as well be revealed. Curry is one of the greatest point guards of all-time.
Do you remember the Kobe Bryant-Lebron James debates? Well it has gotten personal within Curry and James.
Curry will never be the same again and it is more likely, the Los Angeles Lakers have a better season than the Golden State Warriors, reigning No.2 inside the Western Conference.
What is the more important notion is that Curry stepped beyond boundaries meaning, sometimes, he has had to shelter a lot of weight on his shoulders, even it meant a current hamstring injury, sidelining him for one week.
Curry will always serve as the true platinum to the Under Armour brand throughout his time despite what critics say. He is characterized by his brothers, Klay Thompson and Draymond, and, maybe even coach Steve Kerr.
Everyone has loved Curry’s display of art and poise but where he will rank all-time comes down to top-10 ability and what else, he may just do to play and surprise in a quickly evolving, adapting league.

Lebron James Avoids Thunder Jam
Lebron James is set to debut in the NBA G League very soon. This comes after hearing James will not play in the Oklahoma City Thunder premier matchup on Wednesday.
He will start practicing with the South Bay Lakers on full scrimmage practices and try to return to normalcy after a deal with sciatica.
The Lakers have nothing to worry as Luka Doncic is the top superstar in the NBA right now and Austin Reeves is converting 30 points on 48 percent shooting.

Which Firing was too Late to Call Between Harrison and Daboll?
Lots of buzz has been surfacing over the past couple days regarding Brian Daboll and former Nike executive Nico Harrison. It has rubbed certain people the wrong way in consideration of the huge impact spread across both the NFL and NBA.
Daboll was, once, a NFL Head coach with certain things he laid down for the players. He tried to work hand-in-hand with GM Joe Schoen and come up with a collective on first-year quarterback, Jaxson Dart. Dart injured his head into a serious concussion over the course of time and some say this definitely affected Daboll’s job status after, even, losing RB Cameron Skattebo.
Daboll won two significant games against the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Chargers but after that, things seem to falter. There was always some potential to be made out of the regime, especially combo, Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley.
Former NFL quarterback Mike Kafka steps in as interim coach, while shenanigans are thrown at Nico Harrison of the Dallas Mavericks.
Is it justifiable to say Harrison had a more bad rep? The answer is, yes.
Do not take it seriously Giants fans when it is optimistic to say there is much where that came from in terms of New York’s success. Dallas has to start all over begging for help in the mercy of not following through with hot sensation right now out of Slovenia and Los Angeles, Luka Doncic.
Maybe it had something to do with ego in the Mavericks front office. Harrison made an awful mistake with a rookie now who is currently third in the NBA Rookie of the Year race.
Doncic is averaging 37.1 pts, 9.4 reb, and 9.1 ast without Lebron James in the Lakers lineup.

Why Amazon Prime Basketball is off to its Worst Start
Amazon Prime basketball is off to its worst start for many reasons.
One, WNBA Hall of Famer Candace Parker is on the broadcast. She has helped contribute to the WNBA in so many ways which is why a former WNBA player or star should not be placed on the broadcast unless its Caitlin Clark.
Caitlin Clark did charity work, supported her community, and most of all made a hot impression. Clark would be the most reasonable option, here.
Secondly, they just do not matchup with the profile of Amazon Prime: Football. Using that platform, will certainly engage newer audiences but instead they introduce the same broadcasters from TNT’s hottest show at the time, “inside the NBA,” featuring Kenny Smith, Shaquille O’Neal, Ernie Johnson, and Charles Barkley.
This is a mistake, which can be corrected.

Believing Concept of Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan was once the Charlotte Bobcats owner. He also has starred in NASCAR racing for the better part of five years trying to recoup with 23XI.
Jordan has manifested a culture that defines way of integrity. Unlike mishaps off the court, Jordan has resonated with the NBA fanbase for years since the 1990’s Chicago Bulls. He took on a legacy with Scottie Pippen and Jerry Reinsdorf but there is a believing concept MJ’s has not been too integrated into the game anymore especially with golfing.
Jordan mostly seems to spend his time at home away from the cameras to mask a couple of things.
One, he and his racing team lately had been removed from recent allegations. It was so poor in judgement that Jordan decided to also start a segment on NBA NBC known as “MJ’s Insights To Excellence.”
Notice the ‘I’ is boldy capitalized and most of the show is related to Jordan.
Jordan took an upscale root with Jerry Krause and Scottie Pippen being working partners. Now from speculation, Pippen does not talk to his friend on a day-to-day basis. Which.is pretty sad in his own right.
All that said, Richard Deistch and several media outlets are not totally sure if Jordan is interested in rhythmically being a NBC Special Contributor for long with Mike Tirico. It has been an interesting journey to say the very least.
Michael Jordan is beloved by many fans and he will go on to be an excellent contributor in whatever shapes his defining legacy.

Tango with Tiago Splitter
The Portland Trail Blazers have reportedly named Tiago Splitter the interim head coach in the midst of a federal investigation pertaining to respected Hall of Famer on the court, Chauncey Billups.
Billups is known for conquering the Lakers and Kobe Bryant in the 2004 NBA Finals. He was a tremendous leader led by Rasheed Wallace, Richard Hamilton, Ben Wallace, and Tayshaun Prince.
Considered one of the top NBA lineups in the last century, Billups was recently arrested for his wrongdoing in possible NBA gambling. No other terms are to be specified at this time, but Portland is now led by a new existing leader and his name is Tiago Splitter.
Splitter most notably liked to tango in the San Antonio Spurs front court along with legend Tim Duncan and pursue multiple championships. He wil replace in igniting the same possible potential in the French Cup and assisting Ime Udoka for one lone season.
Stephen A. Smith once admittedly joked about Splitter on ESPN First Take with Skip Bayless, but tangoing with Splitter seems to be all at-well.
