  • Why people are losing their sh*t over the Dwayne Wade statue, and why Blake believes it serves as a lesson in confidence 
  • Rating Anthony Edwards’ trash-talking against Bronny Jr., plus whether Bronny can break thru Lebron’s legacy 
  • New York Road Runners upcoming marathon with insights about the race from the org’s SVP of Strategic Partnerships, Christine Burke
