Sedmapadesátiletý Atkinson se stal třetím trenérem Cavaliers, který cenu získal, po Billu Fitchovi (1976) a Miku Brownovi (2009). V přípravě sice s týmem ani jednou nevyhrál, do sezony pak ale Cleveland vstoupil vítěznou šňůrou patnácti zápasů. Série alespoň 12 výher tým nakonec zaznamenal celkem třikrát.
V hlasování médií Atkinson získal 401 bodů, 59 ze 100 volitelů ho zařadilo na první místo. Druhý J.B. Bickerstaff, kterého Atkinson na lavičce Clevelandu vystřídal, dostal po premiérové sezoně u týmu Detroitu 305 hlasů. Třetí skončil trenér Houstonu Ime Udoka.

Melissa Rohlin FOX Sports NBA Writer <!--> Rudy Gobert was having one of the most spectacular performances of any NBA player this postseason, but it wasn't enough to stop the criticism. As Shaquille O'Neal gave the 7-foot-1 center a compliment, he simulated vomiting during TNT's halftime show last Wednesday. "I never thought I would say these words that are coming out of my mouth: Rudy Gobert is dominating."Gobert went on to finish with 27 points and 24 rebounds in the Minnesota Timberwolves' close-out win over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series, ironically becoming the first player since O'Neal in the 2004 Finals to finish with at least 25 points, 20 rebounds and 75 percent shooting in a playoff game.Gobert was informed of O'Neal's backhanded compliment as he sat by his locker after the game.

Harry Kane has his first Bundesliga title at the second time of asking and while his contribution to Bayern Munich can be measured in goals – 36 and counting this season – those who helped to sign him believe he has brought more to the squad.Bayern's former technical director Marco Neppe played a significant role in bringing the England captain to Bavaria and still regards Kane, signed for over £100m in the summer of 2023, as one of the most memorable acquisitions during his decade at the club. "You cannot change the market, you have to accept it and find the best way for your club. Yes, you have to take care to increase the value of your squad but it is about making those short-term and medium-term calculations," Neppe tells Sky Sports. Please use Chrome browser for a more […]

Saquon Barkley returned to the top at running back: Barkley finished first in fantasy points per game as a rookie, and did so again in his first year with the Philadelphia Eagles. Barkley broke long touchdown runs at a historic rate: By any definition of “long touchdown run”, Barkley accomplished this at one of the best rates, if not the best rate, in NFL history.
