after 13 years and four championships with golden state it’s a fresh start in Dallas for one of the best Shooters in NBA history let’s go to the NBA where Klay Thompson his new era begins in Dallas the longtime Warrior now Maverick was introduced to the Dallas media on Tuesday after signing a threeyear $50 million deal to leave Golden State the four-time NBA champion and five-time All-Star says he’s feeling rejuvenated about his fresh start but reflected on his emotions leaving his Warriors out west I mean probably a little disappointed at first but then as time goes on you have a lot of time to reflect and you realize what you did uh they can’t take that away from you as far as the Championships whether you play basketball or work in the corporate world or wherever whatever industry sometimes change just can spur greatness and a new change of scenery can do do wonders and um I’m very grateful for my time at uh Golden State but um I just felt like you know moving on could just re-energize me and uh do something special for the rest of my career yeah Dallas grateful to have him Clay Thompson is one of the most prolific three-point Shooters in NBA history he shot 40% or better from range in eight different seasons in his career trailing only Steph Curry for the most in NBA history Luca’s never had a teammate shoot over 40% from three in a season even once in his career the summer of Tatum continues NBA championship Rich’s contract in NBA history and now a chance to secure his second gold medal tatm and Team USA are in Vegas right now getting set for the Paris Olympics they take on Canada tonight in an exhibition and they’re not your guy buddy they’re really good Tim bontemps having a great time in Vegas Kevin Durant will miss Wednesday night’s game against Team Canada with a calf strain an injury Durant said he suffered about 10 days before Team USA training camp opened here in Las Vegas on Saturday now Durant said he’s feeling better and taking the injury day by day that he hopes to get back on the court during the Abu Dhabi portion of Team USA’s 5game exhibition schedule ahead of the Paris Olympics now most teams would have a lot of trouble replacing a player like Kevin Durant but Team USA is no ordinary team they could turn to Jason Tatum Anthony Edwards kawii Leonard Drew holiday or a host of other options to potentially fill Durant spot in the starting lineup and they’ll get their first chance to see what this group looks like as a unit against Team Canada the Team USA lost to in the bronze medal game in last year’s World Cup in Las Vegas Tim bontemps ESPN all right Timbo after the game in Vegas tonight Team USA heads to Abu Dhabi for a pair of exhibitions before playing their final tuneup games in London this is a tough slate of friendlies Australia won bronze at the last Olympics Germany won gold at the feeble World Cup and Serbia has a guy named yic that’s her Team USA opens group play against July 28th after a sizling start the bottom has fallen out since June 15th the Yankees have had the worst starters ER bottom five in batting average their record worst in baseball everything is going wrong so the pressure is mounting to fix it Yankees owner Hal steinbrener and G Brian Cashman went to yesterday’s game to assess the damage cashman’s pregame prognosis not good man it’s just been a struggle obviously so um and you’re right you know thankfully we got out of the gates really strong you know so uh hopefully you know that cushion will allow us to you know get work through this hopefully sooner than later because uh it’s gone on long enough but uh but yeah it’s been it’s been a tough stretch for us what’s your level of concern with what you’ve been seeing I’m always concerned it’s my job to be in a position to you know never assume anything yeah maybe more concerned than ever because you know what Yankees stink right now the New York stes I mean Yankees took on the Rays Aaron Boon man that dude need some sleep oh my God is just brutal this is just not fun sorry Yankee fans bottom first Carlos rodon pitching Randy Rosara Hitting off of him down the left field line ball mishandled by Alex Verdugo right there yeah it’s been that way since June Yandy Diaz coming in to score costly error there by Verdugo and how do you think rhon feels about that not so great I think later in the inning two on nobody out ESO Paredes drills that rhon fastball for a three run Homer rodan’s now allowed three or more runs in the first inning for the fourth time this season that’s tied for the most in baseball it’s been that kind of season at least from June now top of the seventh here’s a Yankee bright spot Ben rice that look good he can hit man right two-run Homer fifth career Homer all coming in the last five games Yankees down 4-3 so maybe there’s a chance they’re down 5-3 final out Juan stto up as a tying run can he tie it up no he can’t because Jose Siri is there to grab it game over stto frustrated so are all the Yankees and their fans and the Rays take it 5 to three it has been a bummer in the Bronx since the middle of June entering play on June 15th the Yankees were 50 and 22 own the best record in baseball since that day they are five and 16 the worst record in baseball well Rory maroy is the defending champion at the Scottish open this week it’s his first event since his final round collapse at the US Open four weeks ago he Bogi three of his final four holes including two Miss putts from inside 4T at 16 and 18 and he left Pinehurst without speaking to the media Rory spoke this morning for the first time about the US Open it’s new on Sports Center the way I’ve described Pinehurst on Sunday it was like it was a great day until it wasn’t you know I I I did things on that Sunday that I haven’t been able to do in the last couple of years and then like obviously unfortunately you know to miss those last two putts uh are the the putt on 16 and and obviously the putt on 18 yeah it was a it was a tough day it was a tough few days after that obviously I look back on that day just like I looked back in some of my toughest moments in my career and and um you know I I I’ll learn a lot from it um and and I’ll hopefully put that to good use and I’ve you know it’s something that’s been a you know a bit of a theme throughout my career I’ve been able to take those tough moments and um and turn them into uh into great things not not very long after that well since 2015 Rory has 21 major top 10s which is by far the most of any player but he hasn’t been able to get that elusive major win more than 3600 days now since Roy’s last major win which came at the 2014 PGA Championship he’s finished second or tied for second at a major four times in his career three of those since 2022 W get ready Drew college football right around the corner Big 12 media days under day this underway this week in Vegas the conference kicks off with 16 teams for the first time in it’s 29-year history Texas and Oklahoma won’t be among them with both sides of the Red River rivalry heading to the SEC the Longhorns and Sooners combined to win 15 of the 22 conference Title Games held over that span now four teams are joining to fill that void Arizona Arizona State Colorado and Utah the Buffalo returned to the Big 12 after a stint from 1996 to 2010 that included a conference title back in 2001 and Utah currently the favorite to win the Big 12 according to ESPN bet head coach Kyle Whittingham and the UTS are listed as plus 325 to be the conference’s fifth different champion in as many seasons K State is the next closest team at plus 375 here’s Winningham on Utah’s fresh new start in the Big 12 first of all a great opportunity for us we’re elated to be in a conference and uh we’ve got uh a pretty good roster coming in this year so we think we can be competitive right away but but we’re excited about the new opportunity new challenge and uh really is a for me and my point the point in my career that I’m at is a re-energizing meanwhile the big 12’s reigning offensive player of the year OK State’s Ali Gordon will not miss any playing time in the wake of his DUI arrest in late June that’s from Cowboys coach Mike Gundy Gordon appeared at media days yesterday in Vegas apologized for his actions Gundy said the decision to have him play was the best for him and the best for Oklahoma State football here’s Gordon and Gundy speaking on that this really just I apologize for my actions you know um the mistakes I made you know it wasn’t good every mistake have you know every action has a consequence and um you I just want to apologize to my family my team for my actions ol’s going to play um you know and I share this with all I said Olie um we’re in a time where you guys are essentially employees you guys make lots of money to play this game it’s different than it was 5 years ago and um your punishment’s going to be facing the facts that’s why we brought him here today I said you’re not going into hiding um you’re going to face the music um you’re going to have to to stand up and talk to people and answer questions and hopefully more than football you can learn from the situation you’ve been in because if not then we have a real issue um but uh he’s going to play and um I’m going to do what I think what we think is best for Oklahoma State football uh and I think it’s best for all to play uh if there’s any punishment it’s make him carry the ball 50 times in the first game I think that he understands how serious that situation was and hopefully he can learn from it move forward okay later today Dion Sanders will speak at Big 12 media days here what coach Prime has to say about Colorado’s hopes this season and about his son chora’s potential Heisman hopes on sports center today Sanders and Colorado kickoff their season 50 days from now on August 29th against North Dakota
