Any media person who describes The Trade with an adjective other than "blockbuster" gets a prize -- a special-edition thesaurus trimmed in gold. Luka Doncic Anthony davis Los Angeles Lakers Dallas Mavericks
Add another "record" to Bill Belichick 's coaching career -- nepotism violations. Two sons on the staff? What's next? The child bride added to the payroll? @billbelichick Carolina Football

Let's just declare the SEC semifinals the Final Four and move on to MLB and spring breaks. SEC Basketball News
Things we never thought we'd see: a coach feeling dissed because her team is (wait for it) the No. 2 overall seed in the NCAAs. Really, Dawn Staley? What's next? "How dare Las Vegas makes us only 42.5-point favorites in our first game. The nerve." dawnstaley Gamecock Athletics
Here's an Over/Under today in the NCAAs: 2 1/2. Number of steps Maryland's Queen took before the winning shot. Maryland Men’s Basketball NCAA March Madness
What's next? A player telling his coach at halftime in the locker room, "I'm not playing enough so am entering the portal -- now." Transfer Portal NCAA Transfer Portal 247Sports Transfer Portal
His tale was first told in thousands of words typed by these fingers as we -- including master photog William A. Bridges Jr. -- essentially embedded with the family for his senior year at the tiniest of high schools. Twenty-two years later, Hall of Fame. Props, Dwight Howard
The worst part of officials' reviews on possible flagrant fouls in an NBA game is Reggie Miller speculating what's gonna be called. He is invariably wrong. Worse, he talks incessantly. Whoever is directing should tell Miller to shut up and wait for the call. @nba Reggie Miller
With the NBA playoffs in full swing, sports-loving teen readers in your circle might enjoy “Calling The Shots” about a high-school baller who wound up running an NBA team. Coming soon: “Player-Coach,” the final book in a trilogy. NBA NBA on TNT NBA on ESPN amazon.com/Calling-Shots-…
Thought we were watching an NBA playoff game last night. Turns out, the network slipped in a movie. The plot was a team that displayed such horrible end-game strategy it could never have happened in real life. OKC THUNDER @markdaignault
ESPN's Richard Jefferson: "These teams are literally playing for their playoff lives." All-time dumb remark? Let us count the ways (1) It's game 3 in best of 7, not 5 (2) OKC leads 2-0. Lotsa lives left (3) 'Literally?' Does the loser face a firing squad? NBA on ESPN @nbaplayoffs
Nearly 2 months into the playoffs, about time Mike Breen & Doris Burke learn the OKC big's surname is pronounced Har-ten-stein, not Har-ten-shtein. (Burke often goes first-name only as if calling a kids' game. Maybe should just call him Isaiah.) Doris Burke Mike Breen NbaonESPN
