RBS #37 Caitlan Clark scores 30 points and had 7 turnovers… Lose to the Sparks Personally this is Cc best game as a pro but she needs to work on her turnovers. I give her a A for this game even though they lost to a team they should have beaten. The Fever are now 1-7 In the battle of the top two picks from the 2024 WNBA draft on Tuesday night, Caitlin Clark won the battle, but Cameron Brink took the war. Clark was mostly fantastic for the Indiana Fever, scoring a career-high 30 points to go along with six assists, five rebounds, three steals and three blocks and 7 turnovers . But Brink’s Los Angeles Sparks were better, winning 88-82 behind Aari McDonald’s 21 points off the bench. #The IndianaFever #CaitlanClark #RockBottomSports #Vansilk1127 #LASparks #WNBA #ChicagoSky

RBS Ep #28 ANGEL RESSE & CHICAGO SKY Defeat NEW YORK LIBERTY NEW YORK (AP) — Teresa Weatherspoon said she’ll always be “Liberty for life.” Her homecoming to New York was special for the first-year Chicago Sky coach as her team came away with a win. Marina Mabrey had 21 points, seven assists and six rebounds to help the Sky beat the Liberty 90-81 on Thursday night. “This was was really for her,” said Chicago guard Dana Evans, who added 12 points. “We really wanted this for her more than anything.” Weatherspoon starred as a player for the Liberty in the WNBA’s early days. She helped New York reach the finals in three of the league’s first four years. She was the heart and soul of those teams and was always adored by the crowd. Many of those same fans from 20 years ago were in the crowd Thursday night wearing Weatherspoon’s No. 11 jersey. “I know those fans in there,” Weatherspoon said. “I know them, I know a lot of the faces. There was a connection. ... There’s a lot of love that we have for each other and I would lead by saying how much I love them and appreciate them and nothing will ever change that. Nothing.” I’m going to show my love for them and show my appreciation to everyone in New York City,” Weatherspoon said. “I hope you see this and know I love you all very much from the bottom of my heart, me and my family.”

RBS #26 CAITLAN CLARK & INDIANA FEVER LOSE AGAIN! 0-5 This is a WNBA problem for just focusing on 1 player who came with the Rookie Class. Clark is still an average player who can shoot, NO DEFENSE.

RBS Ep #22 Anthony AJ Joshua knockout Francis Ngannou , drop him 3 times After shocking the world by knocking down Tyson Fury and losing a narrow split decision, Francis Ngannou looked to score his first professional boxing win when he took on Anthony Joshua on Friday in Saudi Arabia. Unlike the Fury fight, Ngannou found no success in the ring, suffering a knockout in the second round after a crushing right hand from the two-time former unified champ. Ngannou came out light on his feet early, looking to throw left hooks and get inside Joshua's jab. Looking comfortable in just his second trip to the boxing ring, Ngannou suddenly switched southpaw. Moments later, Joshua feinted with a jab and Ngannou lowered his right hand to parry the strike that did not come, leaving him open to a right hand that sat him on the canvas for the first knockdown of the fight. Ngannou managed to beat the referee's count and survive the opening round, but Joshua had laid the groundwork for what was to come. With Ngannou biting on nearly every Joshua feint, the end felt inevitable as the fighters walked to their corners. In Round 2, Joshua again drove a right hand into Ngannou's head, dropping him for the second time in the fight. While Ngannou beat the count once again, he was unsteady on his feet and Joshua immediately took advantage, charging forward and landing a bomb of a right hand that sent Ngannou crashing to the canvas unconscious. #anthonyjoshua #francisngannou #tysonfury #Vandilk1127

RBS Ep #21 Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is really happening -- here's what to expect.. According to ESPN Mike Tyson is returning to the ring. Yes, you heard that right. Tyson will face Jake Paul in a boxing match on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys. The YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul (9-1, 6 KOs) has said recently he wants to focus on fighting real boxers to eventually compete for a world title. Instead, he'll fight long-retired Tyson (56-6, 44 KOs), a former heavyweight champion and one of the best in boxing history. His last competitive fight was almost 19 years ago, a TKO loss to Kevin McBride in June 2005. Tyson will be 58 when the fight takes place. Tyson participated in an eight-round exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr. in July 2020, and while the fight exceeded expectations, no one was clamoring for more. During the height of his career, Tyson was one of the most feared fighters in boxing and earned the moniker as the "Baddest Man on the Planet." He was the undisputed heavyweight champion and still is the youngest fighter to win a heavyweight title in boxing history. After serving less than three years in jail for a rape conviction between 1992 and 1995, Tyson returned to the ring just five months later and, after two wins, regained the WBC title by defeating Frank Bruno in 1996. After starting his boxing career facing fellow YouTubers and former MMA fighters, Paul, 27, lost a split decision to Tommy Fury in February 2023. Last August he faced another MMA fighter in Nate Diaz and stated he was going to change course with hopes of developing a true boxing career. He scored first-round KO wins over Andre August and Ryan Bourland since that point, fighting at the cruiserweight limit of 200 pounds. All of this begs us to ask one question: Why is this happening? #miketyson #jakepaul #vansilk1127

NIMH Ep #777 Record point total in controversial NBA All-Star Game as the East defeats the West, 211-186 This is sad and definitely hurting the legacy of the NBA. 200 points 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 — A team exceeded the 200-point mark for the first time in NBA history as the Eastern Conference won the All-Star Game for the first time since 2014, beating the Western Conference 211-186 on Sunday in the annual showcase of the league’s premier talents. The star-studded rosters featured some of the sport’s biggest names such as LeBron James, Steph Curry, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokić and Kevin Durant. The scoring frenzy broke an array of records, per the NBA. The East’s point total was the highest ever, eclipsing the 196 set by the Western All-Stars in 2016, while the combined total of 397 surpassed the previous record of 374 set in 2017. The Eastern All-Stars also made a whopping 42 three-pointers to beat the record of 35 set in 2019. #nbahighlights #nbaallstar2024 #DameLillard #vansilk1127

RBS Ep #15 Lakers should trade Lebron or he will OPT OUT! Rich Paul meeting with the Knicks Knicks, Klutch Sports ‘hashed out’ issues after Leon Rose-Rich Paul sit-down, removing potential trade obstacle Agent Rich Paul met with team president Leon Rose on Friday, a source told The Post, and “things were hashed out” during the sit-down. The hope is to move forward with a business relationship, per a source. As The Post previously reported, Paul’s agency, Klutch, previously preferred its clients not to join the Knicks. That included two players who’ve been recently on the trading block, Atlanta’s Dejounte Murray and Chicago’s Zach LaVine. Paul, one of the most powerful agents in the NBA, has a long list of clients, most notably LeBron James, who faces the Knicks at MSG on Saturday. A cooling with Klutch removes a potential obstacle as the surging Knicks, winners of an NBA-high nine straight, build out the roster. Paul wouldn’t have blocked a deal, but there are potential landmines set if a player’s camp is against a move. According to a Forbes list from last season, Paul had represented 37 players with $1.36 billion in contracts under his management. #vansilk1127 #lebronjames #Richpaul #LeonRose #NewYorkKnicks #Lakers
