Shai Gilgeous-Alexander passes Sixers legend in NBA Finals debut
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander passes Sixers legend in NBA Finals debut Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been on one helluva run in 2024-25. The MVP winner averaged 32.7 points, 6.4 assists, and 5.0 rebounds while leading the Thunder to a 68-14 record in the regular season and he has followed that up with averages of 30.4 points, 6.8 assists, and 5.6 rebounds in the playoffs as he has led OKC to the finals. In his finals debut, Gilgeous-Alexander has been phenomenal as he has scored 72 points through the first two games of the series against the Indiana Pacers. He had 34 points in a 123-107 Game 2 win on Sunday to even the series at 1-1 and that is a new record for a player in his finals debut. The previous record was held by Philadelphia 76ers legend Allen Iverson in his debut back in 2001. Iverson scored 71 points in the first two games as he led the Sixers to a 1-1 start as well, Philadelphia's win came in Game 1 of that series, but Gilgeous-Alexander has one-upped him for the Thunder. The Thunder will look to take a 2-1 lead in the finals when the series shifts to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for Game 3 on Wednesday.

Cowboys Ex Amari Cooper Might Be 'Done' Barring Major Training Camp Change
Cowboys Ex Amari Cooper Might Be 'Done' Barring Major Training Camp Change originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO - It's a weird thing to note about a guy who has been to the Pro Bowl five times, but the track record says it's true: The acquisitions of Amari Cooper, every time, never quite work out very well. Advertisement The Amari move of 2019? Nope, it didn't work out the way the Dallas Cowboys envisioned. Close, but no cigar. His time in Cleveland, where Dallas trade-dumped him? Nope, because the Browns eventually turned around and did the same with him in moving him to Buffalo. And that 2024 midseason Amari trade? That didn't work out the way the Bills has envisioned it, either, with the big-name never really taking off in Joe Brady's offense. Granted, Cooper came in midseason and then had an injury, which isn't ideal when you are coming to a new team, as Amari was playing catch-up the entire time. So he's a free agent. And has been for months. Advertisement Teams that might've had an interest - including the teams that know him best - have gone in the other direction. The Cowboys had a need at wideout and so they traded for George Pickens. The Bills had a need at wideout and so they signed Joshua Palmer. ... and then they signed Elijah Moore, who used to play third fiddle to Amari in Cleveland. USA Today has been among the outlets not understanding what's happening here, recently writing, "He offers a veteran presence and consistency for a team searching for a proven player to add to their receiving room." That's what some in the media and some NFL fans think. Advertisement But as Amari turns 31 this month, the NFL is telling you - and him - their truth. Consider this telling review from one of his own former coaches from earlier this offseason. "Amari is done. That's not me talking," NFL insider Matthew Berry of NBC Sports posted on X. "That's from an offensive coach of a former team of his I spoke to at the combine." Is that true? Dallas is aware of what we at the time called "shrinkage,'' when Amari simply didn't come up big enough in big moments. Buffalo had to think about the production that Amari gave them last year as Cooper totaled just 297 yards and two touchdowns from 20 receptions in eight regular-season games and had six games for 41 yards in three playoff outings. ... in a postseason during which he was essentially benched. Advertisement When we add this fact, that in six of his Bills games, while playing with MVP QB Josh Allen, he had 12 or fewer yards? We're not saying Amari Cooper is done. But pending some team maybe calling him as a training camp move due to roster injury? The NFL is sort of saying Amari Cooper is done.

'I wish he'd have retired already': Some Steelers fans hate Aaron Rodgers signing
PITTSBURGH – Drop the name of Aaron Rodgers to a couple of friendly strangers in the Steel City and it doesn't matter that you've just met. Pass the truth serum. In these parts, where the fans bleed Black and Gold, it seems that everybody has some passionate opinion about the new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback. 'I was expecting this to happen,' Corrine Farrell said. "But I'm extremely disappointed with the Steelers organization.' As Farrell broke down her reasoning with USA TODAY Sports on a plaza at PNC Park before the Pirates took on the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night – she is skeptical of how Rodgers will impact locker room chemistry, wonders about the one-year commitment and among other concerns, didn't feel his anti-vax stance -- Arianna Lower sat behind her and provided background optics. Lower flashed a thumb-down and shook her head. 'Steelers fans, we've been through the ringer,' Lower said. 'I just want something to last. I want a Josh Allen.' Taking the pulse from fans about Rodgers, 41, was quite the exercise during a rain delay that pushed back the first pitch. And it was apparent that for all the items on Rodgers' agenda as he seeks to regain the form that allowed him to earn four NFL MVP awards, winning over the Steelers' rabid fan base is also a legitimate challenge. Master a new system. Mesh with new teammates. Adapt to a new city. Shoot, convincing Steelers Nation that he is the answer might be tougher than any of that. Of course, winning can change hearts and minds – and well, winning big when considering a franchise that has never had a losing season in coach Mike Tomlin's 18-year tenure but hasn't won a playoff game since 2016 – but there is no free pass. Never mind a grace period. Rodgers, whose one-year contract could pay $19.5 million with incentives and guarantees $10 million, according to ESPN, seemingly gets little, if any, grace from the fan base. 'My honest opinion, I'm not happy about it,' Ron Stadler, another lifelong fan, declared. 'I wanted to see Mason Rudolph get a chance.' He added, 'I have a lot of friends that feel the same way.' And a son, too. He summoned Ron Stadler, Jr., standing a few feet away. And the forty-something son was a lot less diplomatic. 'No, not optimistic at all,' Stadler, Jr. said. 'I wish he'd have retired already. He sucks.' Say what? About a four-time NFL MVP? 'Look at his record the last three years,' Stadler, Jr. shot back. 'And he's almost as old as me. C'mon, Tomlin.' Rodgers, set to participate in the Steelers' minicamp that opens Tuesday, joins a quarterback room that includes Rudolph, Skylar Thompson and sixth-round rookie Will Howard. His two seasons with the New York Jets included a torn Achilles tendon that wiped out his 2023 campaign after four plays and a meltdown in 2024 that extended way beyond the quarterbacking and including the early season firing of coach Robert Saleh. The skepticism for another fresh start, though, may be even worse when assessing reaction on social media since the much-anticipated news finally broke on Thursday that Rodgers would join the Steelers for his 21st NFL season. Maybe the most extreme damnation came from a (now-ex) Steelers fan who posted a video on social media that went viral. In the video, the man renounced his fan loyalty and burned a signed Minkah Fitzpatrick jersey. Sorry, Minkah. The jersey became a convenient prop. It's not like the five-time Pro Bowl safety is making the personnel decisions. 'First off, why Minkah's jersey? That's bonkers,' Cam Heyward, the veteran defensive tackle, said in a rebuttal post on X. 'Second, why burn (it) when there are plenty of people who need clothes? Third, you're going to regret it.' Leave it to Heyward, team captain and well-respected locker room presence, to lend a voice of reason to the mix. Still, from the jersey-burning guy to the handful of fans encountered at the baseball game, there's something to be drawn about the psyche of Steelers fans. As Tomlin is prone to state, 'The standard is the standard. Jordan Love 'can't wait' to face Aaron Rodgers: 'Hopefully we can exchange jerseys' For followers of a franchise that has won six Super Bowls, that means a championship standard, which is why the drought cuts so deeply. Last season's championship visions, with Russell Wilson supplanting Justin Fields at quarterback, unraveled so fast down the stretch. The Steelers went from 10-3 in mid-December to losing their final five games, including another first-round playoff knockout. Maybe Rodgers will be the difference-maker at quarterback that Pittsburgh hasn't had since Ben Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season. After all, Tom Brady was 43 during the 2020 campaign when he led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl 55 crown. 'I'm not going to hold my breath,' Farrell said of the prospect of a deep playoff run. 'I go into every season optimistic,' she allowed. 'I'm really hoping, although I don't like him, that maybe he changes things to the point that we win more than nine games.' Hey, optimism isn't extinct after all. Voices of positivity remain. You just have to dig a bit deeper these days to find it coming from a Steelers fan. 'I'm real excited,' maintained Austin Patton, another Steeler fan lifer. 'No other quarterback on the roster is better. His experience is huge. Tom Brady did the same thing.' He knows. His is not the popular opinion. 'A lot of people hate, but every year I think they're going to the Super Bowl,' Patton added. 'Maybe there's a bit of delusion…' Or with Rodgers' arrival, just another reason to express some serious passion.
