Nike won't abandon Ja Morant as long as he makes Black people look bad — MMW
Nike won't abandon Ja Morant as long as he depicts stereotypes that portray him and people who look like him negatively. That's the message the retail giant sent on Friday after NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced Morant would be suspended for 25 games this upcoming season for showing a gun for a second time during an Instagram Live video.
Adams Silver knows suspending Ja Morant again won't get him to change — MMW
All those who don't hear feel! My grandmother would say those prophetic words when trying to save me from myself. While her words didn't always stop me from doing something I wasn't supposed to, her message was received. Now that I'm 30, I understand the importance of what she was trying to convey to me, and it got me wondering who Ja Morant has like that in his corner, if anybody at all.
Jimmy Butler can't trick us anymore — MMW
Jimmy Butler isn't why the Miami Heat lost the NBA Finals to the Denver Nuggets in five games. Denver was a deeper, more complete team. But he also wouldn't have been the reason they won the series, either. Had Miami come back from down 3-1 to beat Denver, Bam Adebayo, widely viewed as the Heat's second go-to guy, was poised to take home his first Finals MVP award.
Floyd Mayweather, John Gotti III 'Brawl' felt WWE-ish — MMW
Staged. Scripted. Planned. Those thoughts came to mind when I saw the Internet (over)reacting to Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III, the grandson of American gangster John Gotti, coming to blows in the middle of the ring Sunday night after both fighters got disqualified in their exhibition match. These days, it’s hard to decipher what’s real from what’s fake. But I’m lived through enough viral moments to know when someone is trying to create one before my very eyes.

NBA Suspends Draymond Green For Domantas Sabonis' Incident — MMW
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For example, on Monday night, Draymond Green demonstrated Newton’s third law when he retaliated against Kings forward Domantas Sabonis for holding his ankle by stomping on his chest. On Tuesday, during Game 2 of the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns first-round series, the league announced that Draymond Green was suspended without pay for Thursday’s Game 3 against the Sacramento Kings. The timing of the announcement was strategic.
LeBron, Lakers poised to make run after OT thriller — MMW
The Memphis Grizzlies should fear the Lakers. Los Angeles defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves, 108-102, in an overtime thriller Tuesday night, securing the seventh seed in the Western Conference. LeBron James led the way with a double-double, scoring 30 points with ten rebounds and six assists. James received help from Anthony Davis and Dennis Schröder, who would have been the game’s unsung hero if it wasn’t for a late-game blunder by Davis.
Roman Reigns defeats Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania — MMW
Editor’s Note: I attended WrestleMania 39 at SoFi Stadium, and the main event between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes was electric. INGLEWOOD, Calif. — A dream deferred. Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes Sunday night in the main event of WrestleMania 39, keeping his streak as the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion alive. Reigns entered SoFi Stadium on Sunday a marked man, holding the WWE Universal Championship for an unprecedented 945 days.

MJ should be there to watch LeBron pass Kareem — MMW
LeBron James is closing in on passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most points scored in NBA history, and there’s one person who should be there in addition to the Hall of Fame center when he finally breaks the record: Michael Jordan. In March 2019, when James passed Jordan to move to fourth on the all-time leading scoring list in a game against the Denver Nuggets, Jordan was not in attendance at the then-Staples Center.
Brian Flores' Latest Move Proves He's Not Serious About Being A Head Coach In The NFL — MMW
If Brian Flores wanted to be a head coach in the NFL again, he wouldn't settle for anything less. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers named Flores as their senior assistant/linebackers coach. Flores' hire by Pittsburgh was met with mixed reactions because anything discussed in public discourse these days is.

That is, at least, how many executives and coaches feel.
The Sha'Carri Richardson Story: The good, the bad, and the ugly — realmarcuslamar
What kind of country are we promoting? That's the question I ask myself daily. I'll be honest, I didn't know who Sha'Carri Richardson was before her 15 minutes of fame. I didn't follow her career or know much about her personal life. Like most of the world, I was introduced to her when she got suspended from this year's Olympics for testing positive for marijuana.

MARCUS LAMAR’S NBA PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS!!! — realmarcuslamar
Let me preface my comments by saying I love the NBA playoffs!!! Now that I’ve got that out the way, let’s get down to business. The NBA playoffs are underway, so I am going to tell you who I think will make the NBA Finals and which team will be hoisting the Larry O’ Brien trophy at the end of the NBA’s 75th season. Western Conference Predictions Round 1 1) Jazz def. Grizzlies 2) Lakers def. Suns 3) Clippers def. Mavs 4) Portland def. Denver Western Conference Predictions Round 2 1) Jazz def.
Lakers won’t be ‘caught off guard’ — realmarcuslamar
When the Los Angeles Lakers fell to the 7th seed on May 7th, the team’s championship aspirations seemed, just that, aspirational. But now we know what their path to a title looks like, somewhat. It’s a path that includes a play-in game against a red-hot Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors tonight. Yes, that’s right. In order for LeBron James to earn a spot in these playoffs he must first go through an old, but familiar foe.
“I see myself in kyrie irving” — realmarcuslamar
Kyrie Irving marches to the beat of his own drum. Not too many people in life can say that. That’s one of the reasons I gravitate to him. When Kyrie talks, I listen. He has that kind of effect on me. I view him as ‘more than an athlete.’ He’s a special kind of individual. And it’s not just because of his elite handles and must-see crossover. Or because of how he finishes in traffic and his prolific scoring prowess. Irving’s outspokenness is a gift and a curse for him, depends on who you ask.
THE LAKERS ARE THE TEAM TO BEAT — realmarcuslamar
Out of sight, out of mind. The way the human mind works is if you don’t see something, it’s easy to forget it. That seems to be the case this year in the NBA. Teams like the Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz have emerged as surprise stories. The Los Angeles Clippers seem hellbent on avenging their epic collapse from last year. The Brooklyn Nets formed the best trio of superstars the league has ever seen. So, where does that leave the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers? That’s a damn good question.
THERAPY SAVED MY LIFE—HERE’S HOW: — Real Marcus Lamar
Every person you come across is fighting a battle you know absolutely nothing about. No matter how good your life is, everybody goes through some sort of mental health situation at some point. And that’s OKAY. We all have days where we don’t feel ourselves, or where we feel lost and confused. That too is OKAY. Life can be an emotional roller coaster.

It's time for Odell Beckham Jr. to showcase substance
Enough is enough, pertaining to Odell Beckham Jr. It’s always one thing after another, which means now is the time for substance. The idea that only Black wide receivers are capable of behaving like a “diva” is archaic and stereotypical. The NFL is a league that caters and capitulates to quarterbacks via changes in rules and enormous salaries. If any athlete in the NFL is a “diva,” it’s the quarterback.
NBA Finals: Stephen Curry deserves a place among the all-time greats
The NBA is defined by dominant teams and players. Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors have cemented their place in history. Stephen Curry is this generation’s Magic Johnson. Eventually, Curry will surpass Johnson as the most significant point guard ever. This statement is not hyperbole or an attack on arguably the most captivating floor general ever. However, the most prolific shooter in league history is further cementing his legacy this postseason.
It's Kevin Durant's NBA and everyone else is just participating
(AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill) Kevin Durant is on top of the NBA world right now and the superstar forward will continue to dominate the NBA landscape through the summer. We will remember these NBA playoffs as the year where Kevin Durant went into full-on assassin mode. With no LeBron James in the postseason, the freakishly gifted 6-foot-9 scorer has our undivided attention. Two NBA championships and two NBA Finals MVPs later, it’s clear Durant is the league’s best player. Right?

The Marc My Words Podcast hits on the controversial NFC Championship Game and possibly sidelining the great LeBron James. As expected, both the NFC and AFC championship games delivered suspense and drama. In the end, the two road teams prevailed: The Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots. But before we delve into this matchup, let’s review how we got here. I picked the New Orleans Saints and the New England Patriots to make it to the Super Bowl.
