Chicago Bulls bringing back historic pinstripe jerseys

Chicago Bulls bringing back historic pinstripe jerseys

Yahooa day ago
How much of a statement their play will make next season is up for debate, but the Chicago Bulls' statement uniforms are winners.
The Bulls are bringing back the pinstripes.
This design is inspired by the jerseys worn by the team during the Jordan comeback championship era from 1995-97, as well as in 2007-08 and 2012-13.
Chicago brought back Dennis Rodman to show off the vintage look jerseys.
The team will wear the jersey on select Statement Edition game nights, which will be announced at a later date (after the NBA releases the upcoming league schedule in the next few weeks).
I'll tune into those games just to see the jerseys back on the court.

Nets display how scouting department approached 2025 NBA Draft

The Brooklyn Nets went into the 2025 NBA Draft with an interesting strategy as they found a way to get five first-round picks and use all of them in the same class. Brooklyn seems to be sold on rebuilding the franchise through the Draft and understandably so, but the Nets' content team showed what the conversations were like behind the scenes. "One of our slogans is disagree and commit. That's front and center in our war room. The meaning behind that is that it's healthy to disagree," general manager Sean Marks said during the fourth episode of the team's SCOUT series. The web series has been giving Nets fans a behind-the-scenes look into how Brooklyn's scouting department prepared for the 2025 NBA Draft, including the debates. "It's healthy to debate. If there's no debate and there's no disagreement, then I think something must be wrong," Marks continued. "We've all seen players in different life cycles at different points in their careers and so forth. So, we should be asking ourselves questions of who he reminds me of and, what would I question about that person?" One of the themes that followed the Nets after the conclusion of the 2025 Draft was whether Brooklyn overthought its picks too much or didn't do enough the opportunity they had with multiple first-round picks. The Nets taking guard Egor Demin with the eighth overall pick in the Draft appeared to surprise many people covering the draft, but this episode attempts to explain the thought process behind Brooklyn selecting Demin as high as they did. "You want to see if guys are fighters, if they care about winning as a team, competing as a team, like not just to win a game, but give yourself a chance," Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said when explaining the general mindset of the team. "That's what competitive is, especially in this world. So, you know, we can see that in players and try to figure it out in different ways."

ESPN analyst boldly calls Alex Caruso the NBA's best defensive player

When you win an NBA championship, expect an entire summer's worth of praise from the national talking heads. That's what the Oklahoma City Thunder have experienced fresh off one of the greatest campaigns the league has ever seen. The Thunder had a historic 68-14 regular-season record. They broke the NBA record for the largest point differential. That dominance carried over to the playoffs as they brought home the Larry O'Brien trophy. They destroyed the opposition with their defense, as most of their game-sealing runs happened from turnovers created. A key contributor to their championship run was Alex Caruso. Being load-managed in the regular season, the 31-year-old was finally able to play his all-out effort style of defense that included diving for the ball and emptying his tank as an energizer off the bench. The two-time All-Defense Team member might've had a pedestrian regular season, but Caruso showed why the Thunder were universally beloved for acquiring him last offseason in the playoffs. He was one of OKC's five best and most important players through four playoff series. Ranking the five best defensive players, ESPN's Kendrick Perkins loved what he saw from Caruso in the Thunder's championship run. The role player stepped up on the biggest stage and singled out for an individual performance that you could argue won OKC the championship before the NBA Finals even started. Perkins shocked his "NBA Today" colleagues when he put Caruso at the No. 1 spot. Thunder teammate Lu Dort was at No. 5. Evan Mobley, Amen Thompson and Victor Wembanyama rounded out the top five as the second-to-fourth best defensive players. "The eye test doesn't lie. What I saw what he did in the postseason, in a crucial Game 7, guarding Jokic... And locking him up," Perkins said. "When you're talking about a defensive specialist that can go out there and cause havoc in the game with four or five steals was the key reason, outside of SGA and J-Dub and Chet Holmgren, when you talk about franchise guys, on why OKC is set to hang a banner this upcoming season." The sticker shock is definitely there, but it's not outrageous to say Caruso is in the conversation. He's one of the greatest defenders of his era. There's a reason why all the advanced metrics love him. He has played an important role in two NBA championships now. Taking on Nikola Jokic in a Game 7 might be Caruso's Mona Lisa. It was a legacy-defining performance that saved the Thunder from a disappointing Round 2 exit. The 31-year-old was a savvy enough defender to overcome the serious size disadvantage. Being one of the best defenses the NBA has ever seen, the Thunder deserved to have multiple entrants on Perkins' top five current defensive players list. Caruso and Dort are valid choices that have the championship ring to back up the ESPN personality.

Guerrero and Blue Jays rout Rockies 20-1 to cap Coors Field barrage

DENVER (AP) — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had four hits, including a home run, and Davis Schneider went deep twice as the Toronto Blue Jays capped their Coors Field onslaught Wednesday with a 20-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies. The first-place Blue Jays finished with five homers and 24 hits to set a major league record with 63 hits in a three-game series. They established a franchise mark with 45 runs in the three-game set. Bo Bichette and Ernie Clement also homered for the AL East leaders, who outscored the Rockies 45-6 in the series and are 26-11 since June 25. Toronto hit 13 home runs in the series. Ty France had four doubles and Clement added four hits. Bichette and Schneider had four RBIs apiece. Guerrero extended his on-base streak to 23 games, the longest current streak in the American League. Toronto scored its final eight runs in the ninth inning off Colorado catcher Austin Nola, who gave up eight hits — including homers by Schneider and Clement. Kevin Gausman (8-8) allowed one run and three hits in seven innings. He struck out six and walked two. Bichette hit a three-run homer off Kyle Freeland (2-12) in the third for a 3-1 lead. Nathan Lukes had a two-run triple in the fifth and Schneider homered off Angel Chivilli to begin a five-run sixth. Guerrero connected in the eighth. Bichette and Daulton Varsho, who did not play Wednesday, both had three homers in the series. Guerrero went 8 for 17 with two homers and four RBIs. Bichette was 7 for 17 with 10 RBIs, and Lukes was 6 for 13 with six RBIs. Key moment Bichette's homer to center field with two outs in the third opened the floodgates. Key stat Toronto scored at least 10 runs in each game of the series. Up next Blue Jays: RHP Max Scherzer (2-1, 4.39 ERA) faces Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw (5-2, 3.29) in a meeting of likely Hall of Famers on Friday in Los Angeles. Rockies: LHP Austin Gomber (0-5, 6.18 ERA) opposes Arizona RHP Zac Gallen (8-12, 5.48) on Friday in Phoenix. ___ AP MLB:
