Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Is The Next Face Of The League



Written By: Dylan Grodner, Of Swish Tribune

    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the next face of the league. After averaging 31 PPG, Shai is looking like one of the most promising young players in the league. He was named first team All NBA, and was fully deserving of it at just 25 years old. 

    His name has been mentioned among other superstars in the league, including Ja Morant, Jimmy Butler, Jaylen Brown, Donovan Mitchell, Devin Booker, and you can even make a case that Shai is a top-10 NBA player. 

    Not only is Shai a fantastic player, but the Thunder have done a phenomenal job of surrounding him with some of the top young talent in the league. With players like Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, and Josh Giddey surrounding Shai, don't be surprised if they are a top seed in the West next season. 

   These key players along with their barrage of first round draft picks in coming years make the Thunder one of the most deadly teams for years to come, with Shai leading the way.

The Chiefs will look to start their journey to a three-peat with the Ravens on the other side looking to avenge their AFC Championship loss. This NFL season has so many big headlines. Kansas City has the chance to make history once again by becoming the first franchise to win three Super Bowls in a row. The Chiefs will have a much steeper hill to climb this year with the rest of the AFC mightily improving around them.  Will the Ravens finally be able to get over the hump this year? Since Lamar Jackson took over the quarterback position, the Ravens haven't been able to piece it all together and get back to the big game.  Getting past AFC teams such as Kansas City or Buffalo has hurt the Ravens in the past. With Buffalo's decline, Baltimore has really taken over as that second best team in the AFC behind Kansas City.  Baltimore will also have a steeper climb to the top this...

College Football is Here!

  The Colorado Buffaloes kicked off their 2024 season with a close victory over FCS powerhouse North Dakota State. The duo of Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter looked better than ever in their season debut.  Colorado has been the headline of college football the past couple seasons with Deion Sanders taking over the program. Sanders has almost single handedly changed the dynamic of college football with NIL and the abundance of transfers entering the portal season after season.  Sanders and Hunter are two of the highest paid college football players through NIL deals. Sanders is making almost $5 million annually while still in college. Previously, athletes could not benefit from their name, image, and likeness, but now athletes, such as Sanders, are taking full advantage of it.  They don't just hand out millions to random athletes however. Sanders and Hunter absolutely tore it up last night in their 31-26 win. Sanders threw for over 440 yards along with 4 touchdowns ...
