A possibilidade de Nikola Jokic jogar com Luka Doncic no Los Angeles Lakers é praticamente zero. Segundo palavras do jornalista Dan Woike, do “The Athletic”, a franquia de LA não teria ofertas atrativas para entregar em caso de uma possível negociação no futuro.
“Acho que Jokic ou Giannis seriam alvos realistas de troca? Não, nem de perto. O mercado precisaria estar muito desvalorizado para um jogador dizer que simplesmente iria para o Los Angeles Lakers na agência livre de forma que os outros 28 times nem considerassem entrar na disputa”, cravou o jornalista, que explicou a situação dos Lakers:
“Mesmo assim, a oferta do time de Los Angeles seria fraca diante dos outros concorrentes”, argumentou Woike. Em situação desconfortável no planejamento de contratos, a equipe dourada e roxa fechou com poucos reforços para a nova temporada, mas manteve LeBron James no elenco.
Jokic e Antetokounmpo estarão livres em breve
Dois dos melhores do mundo atualmente, Jokic, do Denver Nuggets, e Giannis Antetokounmpo, do Milwaukee Bucks, podem estar livres no mercado em 2027, quando seus contratos atuais terminam. Portanto, os Lakers estariam se planejando para ter espaço na folha salarial daqui dois anos e tentar alguma superestrela da liga norte-americana.
No entanto, não há qualquer tipo de negociação e tudo está no campo dos boatos. Nikola é ídolo em Denver e está estabelecido na franquia, e Giannis já deu indícios que deseja continuar em Milwaukee mesmo com a fase ruim dos Bucks nas últimas temporadas.
Estrangeiros dominam a NBA atual
James Harden foi o último jogador estadunidense a ser MVP da temporada regular, em 2017/18. Desde então, a NBA vê um domínio histórico e inédito de jogadores estrangeiros, com sete prêmios seguidos sendo distribuídos por quatro jogadores “não-americanos”.
Antetokounmpo começou essa nova tendência ao faturar em 2018/19 e 2019/20. Depois, Jokic levou para casa três prêmios, em 2020/21, 2021/22 e 2023/24, enquanto Joel Embiid conquistou em 2022/23 e Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, estrela do Oklahoma City Thunder, em 2024/25.
Para 2025/26 o favoritismo é novamente todo dos estrangeiros. Um dos melhores da geração, Luka Doncic ainda não foi eleito MVP e deve brigar forte na nova temporada; veja a análise neste link.

Konečně se dočkalo! Dynamo po roce a čtvrt vyhrálo ligový zápas
Zdánlivě nekonečná série Českých Budějovic bez soutěžního triumfu se natáhla na těžko uvěřitelných 43 utkání. Čítá i pohárový postup přes tehdy třetiligovou Příbram, který se v září zrodil až po penaltovém rozstřelu a statistici jej tak za právoplatnou výhru nepovažují. Ještě v sobotu ráno tak platilo, že Dynamo nezvítězilo od 30. května 2024. Tehdy v prvním kole nakonec úspěšné baráže porazilo 2:1 regionálního rivala z Táborska. Zápasu se účastnili jen dva hráči českobudějovického mančaftu, kteří do duelu na Žižkově naskočili - Michal Hubínek s Jiřím Skalákem.Hrdinou se ale stal úplně někdo jiný, a to relativně brzy. Už ve čtvrté minutě se domácí fotbalisté dopustili minely v rozehrávce, jíž potrestal Nigerijec Ibogkwe, kterému se podařilo obejít Marka Richtera a zakončit po zemi mimo dosah brankáře Viktorie Jana Sirotníka.První půle se pak nesla spíše v duchu nepřesností, Žižkovu se dlouho nedařilo dostat byť jen do sebemenšího náznaku šance.

Legendární O’Sullivan předvedl jako druhý v historii dvě 147 v jednom duelu
O'Sullivan potopil všech 15 červených a 15 černých koulí a poté i všechny barevné na jeden zátah hned v prvním framu. Prestižní maximum zapsal pošestnácté v kariéře a poprvé v soutěži od roku 2018. Zároveň se ve 49 letech a 253 dnech stal nejstarším hráčem, jemuž se tato snookerová dokonalost povedla.Hráč s přezdívkou „Raketa“ to navíc zopakoval v sedmém framu na cestě k vítězství 6:3 a do finále proti Neilu Robertsonovi. Dvakrát 147 v jednom zápase dosud v historii snookeru zahrál jen Velšan Jackson Page letos v dubnu v kvalifikaci na mistrovství světa.Za svá dvě maxima zahraná na jednom ze čtyř nejprestižnějších snookerových turnajů získá O'Sullivan bonus v symbolické výši 147.000 liber (4,2 milionu korun). Saudi Arabia Masters je i díky celkové dotaci 2,3 milionu liber (65 milionů korun) považováno za čtvrtý major po turnajích „Trojkoruny“, které tvoří UK Championship, Masters a mistrovství světa.
Alejandro Kirk’s first career stolen base caps wild comeback win for Blue Jays
TORONTO — The Rogers Centre crowd erupted as Alejandro Kirk rolled into second base, unleashing collective jubilation. The Toronto Blue Jays backstop hammered a seventh-inning homer against the Texas Rangers. He gave Toronto the lead with a late bases-loaded single, leading to a 6-5 win. Yet the cheers for those pivotal plays were dwarfed in comparison. As the stadium video board honoured Kirk’s first career stolen base, the home fans reached new decibels.Advertisement“I didn’t even know what was happening, when the crowd was so loud,” Kirk said through team interpreter Hector Lebron. “Then I turned around and looked at the board and was like ‘Oh my God.’”It was the recognition of unlikely history — the first swiped bag in a six-year, 532-game career for a catcher with one of the lowest average sprint speeds in baseball. But, even more, it […]

James Pearce Jr. barely leaves the field as Jalon Walker misses Falcons’ preseason loss
ATLANTA — It’s yet to be determined what type of role Atlanta Falcons rookie edge rusher James Pearce Jr. will have once the season begins, but he has been the busiest Falcon of this training camp.Literally.Pearce, the No. 26 pick out of the University of Tennessee, has taken 481 practice snaps this preseason, more than any player on the roster, general manager Terry Fontenot confirmed Friday night. And that workload has continued in both of Atlanta’s preseason games, including Friday’s 23-20 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, when Pearce barely came off the field.Advertisement“He loves playing football,” coach Raheem Morris said. “He’s one of those guys that can do it. He’s shown us he’s in elite shape. He’s shown us he’s getting in better shape as we go. He’s really dedicated himself to our performance team and the […]
