Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 21 - Travis Outlaw (2010-11)
Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today.
To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise's jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The 22nd of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 21, which has has had a total of 26 players wear the number in the history of the team.
The 17th of those players wearing No. 21 played in the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets era, forward alum Travis Outlaw. After ending his high school career, Outlaw went straight into the draft, and was was picked up with the 23rd overall selection of the 2003 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Starkville, Mississippi native would play parts of the first seven seasons of his pro career with the Blazers, and also the Los Angeles Clippers before he signed with New Jersey in 2010. His stay with the team would span a single season, coming to an end when he was cut in 2011.
During his time suiting up for the Nets, Outlaw wore only jersey No. 21 and put up 9.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game.

12-Year-Old Little Leaguer Suspended from State Championship for Flipping His Bat Awaits Decision on Reversal
The family of a New Jersey Little Leaguer who was suspended from his team for flipping his bat is awaiting a decision about his reinstatement amid the team's Little League World Series run. Marco Rocco, 12, was barred from playing in the state final game on Thursday, July 24 after he flipped his bat in celebration of his home run during a game on Wednesday, July 16, his father Joe Rocco told Little League officials deemed the action unsportsmanlike and a form of 'horse play,' and the younger Rocco was suspended, his father said. A decision is expected on Thursday, just hours before the Haddonfield Little League team will play in a double-elimination bracket with the winner advancing to the regional tournament in Bristol, Conn. 'As this is active litigation, it's premature to comment on the specifics of this case at this time,' a spokesman said in a statement sent to NJ Advance Media on Wednesday, July 23. 'Little League International Tournament rules serve as the guide for any determination regarding conduct, of which fall distinctly under the discretion of the umpires," the spokesman continued. "As an organization we must consistently honor the judgment of the umpires to ensure fairness across all games at all levels of play.'

Joe filed a request for an emergency temporary restraining order on Tuesday, July 22, to allow his son to play, and had hoped to resolve the situation 'amicably.' 'They said, 'No, we're not doing that,' and basically, that they're not willing to compromise in any way,' Joe told NJ Advance Media. The father maintains that the league 'openly promotes' the practice of bat-flipping on its social media accounts, according to ABC News. 'My son watches that and was emulating what he sees,' Joe said. He added, 'He's played Little League his whole life, and his dream is to make it to the World Series in Williamsport. We're in the state finals and are a couple of steps away. We're on our way there, and now, they tell him he can't play.' Read the original article on People

'Shameless': Trump's Big Golf Boast Backfires Amid Renewed Cheating Claims
The White House over the weekend bragged that President Donald Trump won yet another golf tournament just as a new video emerged that some say shows him cheating. 'Winning on and off the course,' the White House wrote on X, along with an image of a scorecard showing Trump shot a 69 ― 67 after adjusting for his handicap ― to win the men's senior championship at his Bedminster club. But the claim comes as Trump faces renewed accusations of cheating at the game, with many critics pointing to a video of him in Scotland last week in which the caddie casually dropped the ball for him. The day before Trump's latest tournament, sportswriter Rick Reilly ― who has golfed with Trump and authored an entire book detailing how he cheats at the game ― wondered aloud if the president would dare to declare himself the winner. 'Tomorrow is the Senior Champ at Bedminster,' he wrote on X. 'Are you shameless enough to pretend you won it? Even after the whole planet saw you cheat in Scotland? Is your ego that sick?' After Trump won, he wrote in a follow-up: 'Guess we got our answer. What a child.' After another new video surfaced showing a caddie dropping the ball for Trump ― this time in Bedminster, possibly from the day of the tournament ― Reilly added: Reilly has previously pointed out that Trump only wins on the courses he owns as more evidence he cheats. 'He's played in Pebble Beach, he's played in the Tahoe one, where there are rules and judges and cameras. And in those, he's never finished in the top half,' he said on MSNBC last year. Others who've played with the president have also accused him of cheating, including boxer Oscar De La Hoya, who once explained in detail some of Trump's tricks. Rock icon/golf enthusiast Alice Cooper didn't quite come out and call Trump a cheater. But he came close. 'The worst celebrity golf cheat? I wish I could tell you that,' he told Q magazine in 2012. 'It would be a shocker. I played golf with Donald Trump one time. That's all I'm going to say.' Given that history ― and the recent videos ― Trump's critics weren't about to grant him a gimme on his latest championship claim:

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga gets $45 million contract update with sticking point
Still, no Jonathan Kuminga contract. Man, this is getting brutal. The Golden State Warriors and their restricted free agent forward can't come to an agreement, and it's hard to see what might change to reach a compromise. NBA insider Marc Stein has said that a two-year, $45 million deal is on the table from the Warriors, but Kuminga isn't biting on the contract that would include a team option in the second year. Kuminga is being asked to waive the right to veto trades in the first year of that deal, Stein writes, something that prevents the player from losing their free agency Bird rights. The Warriors want that from Kuminga, but he doesn't want to waive that. Stein adds that Jaxson Hayes, Taurean Prince and Jeff Green are three players who have waived such a provision already this offseason. MORE: Mavs paying Anthony Davis more than the Lakers are paying Luka Doncic Kuminga has been said to be seeking closer to $30 million per year, but it doesn't seem forthcoming. As an RFA, he doesn't have a ton of negotiating power. He showed his importance to Golden State in the playoffs when Jimmy Butler and then Stephen Curry were injured. In their absences, Kuminga scored a bunch of points in short order to try and keep the Warriors alive. Golden State wants to keep him, given that they've made him a competitive offer, but it doesn't seem they want to go up to Kuminga's price point. He doesn't have a lot of negotiating power given that no other team has made an offer sheet for him as a restricted free agent, basically leaving the power in Golden State's corner. This could drag on for a while, unless the Warriors or Kuminga are willing to meet closer to the middle on some aspect of this negotiation.
