Former Sixers guard Michael Carter-Williams wins boxing debut
Former Sixers guard Michael Carter-Williams wins boxing debut
Former Philadelphia 76ers guard Michael Carter-Williams stepped away from the NBA after yet another injury in the 2022-23 season. He was limited to 31 games for the Orlando Magic in the 2020-21 season, missed the entirety of 2021-22, and played only four games in 2022-23 before stepping away.
Now, Carter-Williams is taking up a new sport: boxing.
After being selected No. 11 overall by the Sixers in the 2013 draft, Carter-Williams won Rookie of the Year in 2014 and played nine seasons in the league before stepping away. He made his boxing debut in a heavyweight match at Broad Street Brawl in New York. He won the match by decision so it's a good start for MCW.
It's a shame that Carter-Williams had his basketball career cut short as injuries took over, but he can take solace in the fact that has found a new path in life. This is a good start to a new career in sports and he can take big steps forward in boxing.

ESPN tabs Iowa basketball star as 2026 NBA draft 1st-round prospect
ESPN tabs Iowa basketball star as 2026 NBA draft 1st-round prospect Iowa basketball has been busy in the transfer portal, adding six transfers to the program this offseason. The Hawkeyes made waves early during the transfer portal cycle, bringing in arguably the top player in former Drake point guard Bennett Stirtz. The 6-foot-4 guard chose to follow first-year head coach Ben McCollum to Iowa. Stirtz's arrival brought immediate star power to the black and gold. The Liberty, Missouri, native was the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year last season after averaging 19.2 points, 5.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game on 49.8% field goal shooting, 39.5% 3-point accuracy and 79.4% from the free throw line. Stirtz was named a first-team All-American by The Field of 68. ESPN thinks Iowa is welcoming a superstar. ESPN NBA draft analyst Jonathan Givony chose Stirtz as his prospect that could be a 2026 NBA draft first-rounder after opting to return to college. Bennett Stirtz, a 6-foot-4 point guard who played for Drake last season, was one of the breakout stars of the NCAA tournament, posting 42 points and 12 assists in two strong performances against Missouri and Texas, showing his game more than translates against elite-level competition after a dominant season in the Horizon League. Stirtz was ranked No. 35 in the ESPN Top 100 when he announced he would enter the transfer portal and follow his coach, Ben McCollum, from Drake to Iowa, not even bothering to test the NBA draft waters along the way. NBA scouts won't complain about having a full season to evaluate Stirtz in the Big Ten, where they'll get a better feel for how his impressive ballhandling, ability to change speeds, touch and creativity finishing around the basket translate for a full season. Stirtz is a dynamic perimeter shooter who is one of the best passers and decision-makers in college basketball but getting a better gauge for his defense and how he handles coaches planning against him on a nightly basis will surely shed light on how high he should be selected next June. - Jonathan Givony, ESPN. If Stirtz replicates what he accomplished at Drake in the Big Ten, then he very well could see his name rocketing up 2026 NBA draft boards. For the Hawkeyes, Stirtz's familiarity with coach McCollum's system and his proven star power will pay dividends for a program transitioning into a new era.

Mike D'Antoni: Lakers legend was behind 'pace and space' revolution
Mike D'Antoni: Lakers legend was behind 'pace and space' revolution Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, the NBA was a league that was infested with slowdown basketball. Almost every team routinely walked the ball upcourt and milked the shot clock, and the result was scoring and shooting percentages plunging to levels not seen in decades. Ratings and fan interest sagged, and something needed to be done. The league instituted a number of rule changes starting in the mid-1990s, but none of them helped. The change that was necessary needed to come from within. In the early 2000s, the Sacramento Kings came within a whisker of winning the NBA championship by employing a freewheeling, run-and-gun style of offense. A few years later, the Phoenix Suns, coached by Mike D'Antoni, took that style to a new level. Those Suns teams immediately became championship contenders and reached the Western Conference Finals three times in six years. D'Antoni made a surprising admission while on the "On Point" podcast that Los Angeles Lakers superstar Shaquille O'Neal was a huge influence on his offensive philosophy. "A big driving force was Shaquille O'Neal was the center in Los Angeles, which is in our division," D'Antoni said. "And we always said among ourselves, you can't out Shaq Shaq. You can't just trot somebody out there and think you're gonna get the best of Shaq. "So we had to figure out a way to beat him," D'Antoni continued. "And that was to speed the game up, take more 3s and spread them out, and then they give us a chance to win." D'Antoni became the head coach of the Suns early in the 2003-04 season, which was O'Neal's last season with the Lakers. They didn't do too well that season, but they did rank sixth in pace. The following season, when Hall of Fame point guard Steve Nash came on board, their revolution began in earnest. They led everyone in both pace and fast-break points, and they were the first NBA team in many years to reach 110 points a game. It took over a decade, but eventually, most teams had adopted at least some of D'Antoni's "Seven Seconds or Less" offensive philosophy. During the 2018-19 season, NBA teams averaged 111.2 points a game, the first time the league average was over 110 points per game since the 1985-86 campaign, and it was also the first time in over 20 years that teams averaged over 24 assists per game. Although many have complained about excessive 3-point attempts over the last few years, D'Antoni helped make NBA basketball beautiful again. "Pace and space" basketball, as well as quick ball movement around the horn, is now the norm across not just the league but the entire sport.
