Wizards' No. 2 overall pick dunked on by former Gonzaga star Drew Timme
On Sunday night, former Gonzaga star Drew Timme made his mark with 30 points for the Brooklyn Nets. One highlight over a notable Wizards player put an exclamation mark on a fantastic individual performance.

Midway through the second quarter, Timme executed his signature pick-and-roll action and got the ball driving down the lane. The Wizards' second overall pick, Alex Sarr, made the mistake of meeting Timme at the rim.
The result was a rim-rocking highlight play.
It wasn't a pretty moment for Sarr, but he had a highlight night of his own.
The big man set a Summer League record with eight blocks. He also chipped in 16 points and 12 rebounds. The Wizards won 102-96. They also got 21 points from this year's sixth overall pick Tre Johnson.
It's a tough individual moment but a great sign overall for Washington. Sarr's rookie season showed a need for growth if the Wizards want to get their return on investment. The future could be bright at Capital One Arena.

For Timme, his 30 points didn't lead to a win but they're not in vain. The former Gonzaga star is battling to stay in the league and explosive plays like his poster slam over Sarr showcase his talent.
The real winner of the game is the Summer League, which is in need of new storylines after the announcement that Cooper Flagg will be shut down for the summer.
It leaves space for a player like Sarr or Timme to take the spotlight like they did on Sunday night.

"I have a real problem with that" - Clyde Drexler thinks putting only Michael Jordan and LeBron James in GOAT debate is an insult to the game's history
"I have a real problem with that" - Clyde Drexler thinks putting only Michael Jordan and LeBron James in GOAT debate is an insult to the game's history originally appeared on Basketball Network. Over the years, the conversation around the greatest basketball player of all time has tightened its focus into a narrow spotlight. Advertisement In most debates, the names Michael Jordan and LeBron James dominate the podium as if the hardwood history of the NBA began and ended with them. However, for Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler, that's not just incomplete but borderline disrespectful. The 10-time NBA All-Star, Olympic gold medalist and 1995 NBA champion recently pushed back against what he sees as a diluted version of basketball memory. Problem with the GOAT debate To Drexler, there's a whole generation of icons who not only carried the league before Jordan took flight or James redefined longevity, but also set the standard for what excellence in basketball looks like. Advertisement "I have a real problem with that," Drexler said on narrowing the GOAT debate. "For all these guys who played the game, for you to have a conversation, are these two guys the GOAT when you got Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, two of the greatest players that ever lived, you start with those two." Drexler's tone isn't bitter but protective of legacy, memory, and what it took for the league to evolve into today's global phenomenon. His point isn't that Jordan and LeBron don't belong in the conversation; it's that reducing the entire discussion to just them misrepresents what greatness has looked like across decades. Wilt Chamberlain once scored 100 points in a single game and still holds records that seem cartoonish by modern standards, averaging 50.4 points and 25.7 rebounds during the 1961-62 season. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's resume is stacked with six MVP awards, six championships, a scoring title that stood for nearly 40 years and the skyhook, which is arguably the most unguardable shot the sport has ever seen. Advertisement Between the two of them, they set statistical bars so high they can only be whispered about today. Chamberlain and Abdul-Jabbar played in eras with different styles, but both dominated with such consistency that entire rule changes were enacted to slow them down. Yet somehow, in today's debates, their names often fall to the second row. Related: "That kind of talent simply doesn't happen" - Del Harris said 17-year-old Kobe was 'slightly better' than 24-year-old Eddie Jones Recognizing legends Drexler sees the narrow debate as an injustice not just to the legends, but to the game itself. As a key member of the legendary 1992 Dream Team and a contemporary of both Magic Johnson and Michael, Clyde's perspective is earned from the thick of competition, not distant admiration. Advertisement Beyond Abdul-Jabbar and Chamberlain, Drexler opened the floor to a roll call of giants whose resumes still echo through NBA lore. "And then you've got guys like Dr. J [Julius Erving], Larry Bird, George Gervin, Elgin Baylor, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West… all those guys are in the conversation," Drexler said. "For people bringing this up today, to me, it's unbelievable. And I love Michael and LeBron, but let's not take something away from those other guys who played." Each name brings a different chapter of greatness. Julius Erving was the prototype of modern athletic flair, bridging streetball magic and NBA finesse. Advertisement Larry Bird was the deadeye marksman with the coldest trash talk and three MVP awards in a row to back it up. George Gervin floated across the court with the smoothest finger roll ever seen. Oscar Robertson averaged a triple-double before it was ever trendy, doing it across a full season in 1961–62, a feat not repeated until Russell Westbrook decades later. Elgin Baylor dropped 61 points in an NBA Finals game while juggling military duties. And Jerry West remains a symbol of NBA excellence, both in name and silhouette, bringing 10 Finals appearances and a career scoring average north of 27. These players didn't just play; they shifted paradigms. They forced defenses to adjust, made the league more marketable and laid the groundwork that allowed superstars like Jordan and James to thrive. Omitting them erases legacies.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama says he's been cleared to return following blood clot
San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama expects to play this coming season and has been fully cleared after dealing with deep vein thrombosis in his shoulder for the last few months, he told the French newspaper L'Equipe in remarks published Monday. There was no immediate comment from the Spurs on the report. It has been expected that the team anticipated Wembanyama would be able to start this coming season, though there was no official word until now. 'I'm officially cleared to return. … I'll finally be able to play a bit of basketball again,' Wembanyama told the French sports daily. Wembanyama was the league's rookie of the year two years ago, and Spurs guard Stephon Castle won that same trophy this past season. Wembanyama was the front-runner to be defensive player of the year last season when he was diagnosed with the blood clot in his right shoulder in February. He was averaging 24.3 points, 11 rebounds, 3.8 blocks and 3.7 assists when he was shut down; the only other player in NBA history to finish a season averaging all that was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1975-76. Wembanyama has traveled extensively in recent months and spent time last month at a Shaolin temple in Zhengzhou, China. The temple is a place that welcomes visitors who wish to study Chan meditation, Shaolin Kung Fu, traditional Chinese medicine and more. ___ AP NBA:

The Club World Cup entertainment sideshow: Doja Cat, Robbie Williams and a foretaste of 2026
Colombian singer J Balvin sat on the edge of what felt like the world's tallest stage as his song Mi Gente blared through the speakers for 81,118 spectators at the MetLife Stadium. FIFA's first-ever halftime show was officially underway, in all its chaotic and unapologetic glory. The grand finale of the Club World Cup on Sunday — the culmination of a month-long affair — saw Chelsea upend Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in a thrashing that, with head coach Enzo Maresca saying after the match that it was over 'in the first 10 minutes.' The team that felt unbeatable all year long was strategically undone. Advertisement Despite all that happened on the pitch, including Joao Neves' hair pull or Luis Enrique's emotional outburst, one of the main takeaways from the final was the surrounding fanfare: the military flyover, the pre-game celebration and, yes, the president of the United States crashing Chelsea's trophy lift. It's safe to assume most of what we saw at MetLife will be similar to what FIFA, the sport's global governing body, has in store for next year, when the 2026 World Cup finally kicks off across the U.S., Mexico and Canada after nearly a decade of anticipation. That will include a halftime show for the first time ever at the World Cup. As perhaps a preview for what to expect, the Club World Cup halftime show, which co-starred J Balvin, Doja Cat, Tems and surprise guests Coldplay with Emmanuel Kelly, lasted just under 11 minutes. On television, it was an attractive ensemble of performers with the New York City skyline as a backdrop, juxtaposed with the American Dream mega mall and its Ferris wheel. In person, however, the show wasn't so polished. The stage, as impressive a feat as it was to create, felt too far away. From across the stadium, it was hard to see with the naked eye that Coldplay was on stage with Kelly. It was also hard to ignore the sprinklers dousing the pitch before the second half, employees scrambling to do some quick maintenance, and the steady stream of fans leaving their seats for the concourse mid-performance. Like a lot of the Club World Cup, the halftime show felt made for TV rather than those in the stadium. That's not to say the halftime show was not entertaining. It was. It also seems to have accomplished exactly what FIFA intended: it gave viewers and fans in the stadium entertainment, albeit brief, as FIFA took a page from the NFL and American sports' entertainment playbook. FIFA even announced that Panini America, a collectibles company and one of FIFA's longstanding sponsors, was a late 'partner' for the halftime show just one and a half hours before kickoff. While it's a far cry from the profitability and success of the NFL's Super Bowl halftime show, for FIFA, it seems a small step toward that goal. Advertisement The halftime show was only part of the entertainment FIFA delivered at the final, in its attempts to assimilate with American professional sports culture. The match was prefaced with a 20-minute intro: a performance of FIFA's official anthem Desire by Robbie Williams and Laura Pausini; American announcer Michael Buffer yelling his iconic line 'Let's get ready to rumble!'; and a tribute to America that included the singing of the national anthem, pyrotechnics and a military flyover. There was also a giant, inflatable replica of the Club World Cup trophy pushed around the pitch. Expect things to be even more over-the-top next year at the World Cup. At Sunday's final, On Location, the official hospitality provider of the 2026 World Cup, gave journalists a sample of the kind of extra experiences they will offer fans next year. The preview started with a tour of the pitch then a chance to sit and take photos from PSG's bench a few hours before the team would be there themselves. On Location president Paul Caine said experiences like these are just an example of what they and FIFA have planned for fans in 2026. 'We're not just selling tickets. We're selling experiences,' Caine said. Heimo Schirgi, COO for FIFA World Cup 26, said, 'We're transforming from a sports governing body into an entertainment company, and also an experiential company.' On Monday, On Location released hospitality packages for all 16 stadiums in the 2026 World Cup, with prices for single-match options starting at $1,350 per person. An 18-person suite, like the one On Location staged at the Club World Cup final, had a balcony area that directly faced the center of the pitch, with a prime view of the halftime show. The halftime show at the Club World Cup was hosted in the rafters rather than the pitch, which eliminated the need to set up and dismantle a stage on the pitch, as is generally done during Super Bowls. Though even with the show happening in the rafters, the halftime still lasted over 20 minutes. FIFA rules cap halftime at 15 minutes. Despite the new experiences for soccer fans, the halftime show did bring to mind a previous FIFA event, the 2023 Women's World Cup in Sydney, where organizers blasted Coldplay's Sky Full of Stars during halftimes. As the music played, fans shone their cellphone lights and there would be light shows inside the venues that went with the music. Advertisement On Sunday, the voices of Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin, who curated the halftime show, and Kelly echoed through MetLife Stadium in a similar way – but instead of a light show, fans had daytime fireworks and a stage that changed colors to the music. In FIFA's own way, it felt like a slice of its authentic identity hidden between everything else it tried to do.
