Tyreek Hill's hilarious reaction to Noah Lyles pulling out of race
The post Tyreek Hill's hilarious reaction to Noah Lyles pulling out of race appeared first on ClutchPoints.
Miami Dolphins' wide receiver Tyreek Hill was scheduled to race Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles over the weekend of June 21. However, Lyles called off the race for personal reasons. Shortly after the race was called off, Hill shared a hilarious reaction on social media.

The 31-year-old wideout shared an image of Lyles' face photoshopped onto the famous meme of Homer Simpson of 'The Simpson's' backing into a hedge. Tyreek Hill shared the image, tagging Noah Lyles in the post, claiming it is Lyles' reaction after seeing Hill run the 100m in the previous weekend.
On June 13, a video of Tyreek Hill running the 100m in 10.15 seconds at the Last Chance Sprint Series in California went viral. It was the first time the Dolphins' wide receiver ran the event since 2014, and he recorded a personal best. Hill is seemingly joking that Noah Lyles didn't want the smoke after seeing the clip of Hill running a 10.15 100m.
Shortly after that race, Tyreek Hill trolled Lyles by posing with a piece of paper that read, 'Noah could never.' It was the eight-time Pro Bowler's way of getting back at Lyles, who posed with a similar message back in February after running in a 60m event.
Noah Lyles did not reveal why he pulled out of the 100m race with Tyreek Hill. He did mention, though, that it was for personal reasons and complications. Hopefully, it's nothing serious, and the two can reschedule a race at another time during the summer.

These two have been at each other for quite some time now. It all started when Lyles called out professional athletes for calling themselves 'world champions' after winning a title in their sports league based in America. Lyles' technicality brought plenty of criticism, but Hill has been the most vocal about it.
While Tyreek Hill continues to troll and call out Noah Lyles, he's still preparing for the upcoming season for the Dolphins. He hopes to bounce back from a down year after finishing the 2024-25 campaign with 81 receptions, 959 yards, and six touchdowns. It was the first time since the 2019-20 season in which Hill didn't surpass the 1,200-yard mark.

Why Nets have ‘more first-hand information' on NBA draft class than any other team
The post Why Nets have 'more first-hand information' on NBA draft class than any other team appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Brooklyn Nets will be among the busiest teams in this year's NBA Draft. With picks Nos. 8, 19, 26, 27 and 36, the rebuilding squad will be in play to select prospects at every juncture. That wide range has led them to bring in the majority of the draft's prospects for workouts, according to ESPN. Advertisement 'While they are unlikely to roster five rookies, Brooklyn has brought in the vast majority of the draft for workouts, giving them more first-hand information on the class than any other team,' wrote Jeremy Woo. 'The Nets have understandably been among the busiest teams in the predraft process, holding picks in every part of the first round and five selections in the top 40. Most around the league expect Brooklyn to be active in trades this week, though it's not yet clear exactly what that will look like, the prospect of trading up from here to acquire a second lottery pick is among the scenarios the Nets could explore.' Kon Kneuppel, Jeremiah Fears, and Egor Demin told ClutchPoints they planned to work out for Brooklyn. Thus far, Hoopshype, which tracks all 30 teams' workouts, reports 36 prospects have been in to see the team, although the real number is significantly higher.

Ace Bailey, Jeremiah Fears, Noa Essengue, Khaman Maluach and Kon Knueppel are among the players frequently linked to Brooklyn with the No. 8 pick.

NBA rumors: Why Nets are one of 2025 draft's most ‘desirable' landing spots
The post NBA rumors: Why Nets are one of 2025 draft's most 'desirable' landing spots appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Brooklyn Nets are uniquely positioned in this year's NBA draft. With five selections in the top 36 (8, 19, 26, 27, 36) and in the early stages of a rebuild, the team can offer prospects immediate playing time in the league's top market. Those factors have reportedly led Ace Bailey to pinpoint the Nets as one of his desired landing spots. Advertisement That sentiment isn't exclusive to the Rutgers star. 'One thing I've heard consistently over the last few weeks: Brooklyn is the favorite destination for a lot of prospects—and a lot of agents,' wrote NBA Draft analyst Rafael Barlowe. 'The Nets, who currently hold four first round picks in the 2025 NBA Draft, have quietly become one of the most coveted landing spots in the league. Multiple agents, parents, and prospects have expressed that sentiment to me directly. Brooklyn checks two major boxes: it's a large market, which has potential off-court appeal in terms of brand deals and exposure, and more importantly—it offers playing time.' ESPN's analysts relayed a similar message in their latest mock draft. 'While they are unlikely to roster five rookies, Brooklyn has brought in the vast majority of the draft for workouts, giving them more first-hand information on the class than any other team — the Nets are also viewed as a desirable destination by many agents, due to the minutes and opportunity they have available next season,' wrote Jeremy Woo.

Nets viewed by prospects as one of NBA Draft's most desireable landing spots Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports Some speculated that general manager Sean Marks may look to expedite that timeline with a star acquisition this summer. The Nets have had well-documented interest in Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, the two-time MVP is reportedly content to remain with the Milwaukee Bucks into the start of next season. With Antetokounmpo off the board, the Nets will likely be tanking again in 2025-26. Such a situation would offer their 2025 draft class an extended leash to find their footing without the pressure typically associated with playing in the league's top market. Advertisement Brooklyn will have an opportunity to land a high-caliber prospect with the No. 8 pick. Ace Bailey, Jeremiah Fears, Noa Essengue, Khaman Maluach and Kon Knueppel are among the players frequently linked to the team. With picks Nos. 19, 26, 27 and 36, plus veterans such as Cam Johnson and Nic Claxton at their disposal, the Nets could also look to trade up for a second lottery selection.

49ers superstar extends warning to opponents about their defense under Robert Saleh
Last season, the San Francisco 49ers had the fourth-worst defense in the league, surrendering 25.6 points per game to their opponents, which was only better than the Tennessee Titans (27.1), Dallas Cowboys (27.5) and Carolina Panthers (31.4). While injuries certainly played a factor in San Francisco's poor performance on that side of the ball, the team ultimately decided to place a fair share of the blame on defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen, who had been promoted to the position after the team fired Steve Wilks the year prior. With Sorensen out, the 49ers decided to bring back an old friend, hiring former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh, who previously served as San Francisco's defensive coordinator from 2017-20. Saleh's return has many people in the building excited, including those on the other side of the ball, such as tight end George Kittle. 'He's really good at his job, and I'm really excited that we somehow convinced him to be our defensive coordinator again,' Kittle told Rich Eisen during a recent appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show" last week. 'And he just happens to also be really, really smart. So, I'm pumped to have him back in the building, just hanging out with him a little bit, talking about stuff.' Kittle and Saleh were both in the building during the latter's four years as defensive coordinator before, so he knows exactly what fans and opposing offenses can expect. 'Violence is coming, is what I would say,' Kittle said. Watching the six-time Pro Bowler in the blocking game, it's clear that he loves the physicality and violence that comes with playing the sport. While the 49ers had players capable of playing that way, they haven't always shown it. Now, with Saleh in charge, Kittle thinks they will.
