Top 10 tennis moments at the Olympic Games - Australian Open

- July 20, 2021

Tennis at the Olympic Games has delivered us some of the most incredible scenes in the sport's history. Whether on clay in Barcelona, grass in London or hard courts elsewhere, these moments have inspired fans and forever changed the players who created them, making them national heroes and often altering the course of their careers. Who could forget Justine Henin's comeback from 5-1 down in the semifinals against Anastasia Myskina, on her way to gold in Athens? Or Russia's domination of the women's singles medal podium in Beijing 2008, led by Elena Dementieva? Or Juan Martin del Potro's epic run to the Rio 2016 final, including wins over Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal? Those are just some of the iconic moments that have unfolded since tennis returned to the Summer Games in 1988 after a 64-year absence.  And here are the 10 that have stayed with us most.

How Did Michael Jordan Fare Against Hakeem Olajuwon, Houston Rockets? - Sports Illustrated

- April 19, 2020

Sunday will mark the most important day on the basketball calendar in over a month, and not because of any potential action on the court. ESPN's 10-part documentary 'The Last Dance' will begin to air on Sunday night, taking viewers inside the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls with never-before seen footage of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Co. And the lead-up to the documentary is not lacking in hype. ESPN dropped a five-minute trailer on Twitter on Friday, and media outlets throughout the country have spent the last week deep diving into a trove of Jordan-related content. Without live games scheduled, the sports world has turned much of its focus to ESPN's documentary. The 1997-98 season didn't mark Jordan's strongest statistical season. He scored 28.7 points per game on 46.5% shooting, his worst marks in both categories since his second season. But Jordan certainly appeared near his apex against the Rockets. He dropped 40 and 45 points in a pair of wins against...

Hawks and Landry Fields have a ‘vision’ that may become clearer during NBA Draft week - The Athletic

- July 09, 2022

Landry Fields joked that the last time he had a news conference was 10 years ago, when he signed a three-year deal with the Toronto Raptors in free agency. That was the final contract he would sign as a player. Because of a nagging problem with a nerve in his right wrist that doctors could not figure out, Fields' NBA career was over when he was 26. At the end of his tenure with the Raptors, Fields found himself doing more scouting than playing, so when his time in the league was up, it was a natural transition to join a front office. The Spurs gave him his first front-office opportunity as a West Coast scout in 2016. Six years later, at just 33, Fields will soon be the Hawks general manager, third in command on the basketball operations side of Atlanta's organization. Not much will change for Fields, who's been assistant general manager for the Hawks the past two seasons. He will still report to Travis Schlenk, the president of basketball operations, and they both will op...

Denver Nuggets 113, New York Knicks 99: Three Takeaways - Nuggets.com

- December 04, 2021

There are some days where everything goes your way, and for one Saturday afternoon in New York City, that was the case for the Denver Nuggets. Led by the reigning MVP Nikola Jokić, Denver used a third-quarter surge to cruise to a 113-99 victory over the New York Knicks. Neither team gained an advantage during the early going of Saturday's contest, as Denver had a slight 17-15 lead with five minutes remaining in the first quarter, thanks due to eight points from Jokić during that opening stretch. The Nuggets moved the ball effectively throughout the first frame, dishing out nine assists (on 12 made shots). After the first 12 minutes, Denver led 30-25. Defense was the name of the game to open the second quarter, as Denver extended the lead to 44-28 with just over six minutes remaining in the first half. The Nuggets caught fire from beyond the arc in the second quarter and ultimately finished with 10 triples at the halftime break. New York responded with a quick 6-0 run to get bac...

Rockets fans roast Giannis for sharing his video edit with Olajuwon - Rockets Wire

- September 24, 2020

With his recent MVP win for the 2019-20 season, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo joined NBA legends Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael Jordan as the only players in league history to win the awards for MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season. “Just being in that conversation and in the same sentence as them, it means a lot to me,” Antetokounmpo said after the announcement. At the moment, though, there is one obvious outlier among that trio. Jordan and Olajuwon combined for eight NBA titles in the 1990s, whereas the “Greek Freak” is still looking for his first after another early exit from the playoffs. When Olajuwon won MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in the 1993-94 season, he capped it with the first championship of his career and in the entire history of the Houston Rockets. So when Antetokounmpo posted an edited video to his Twitter account on Wednesday of his own highlights mixed with Jordan and Olajuwon, many users felt compelled to note the clear diffe...

James Harden scores 44 while getting first triple-double of season in Rockets' win - USA TODAY

- January 03, 2020

CLOSE HOUSTON – Houston Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni is convinced James Harden operates on a different level than most players, especially after his latest dazzling performance. Harden had 44 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists to lead the Rockets to a 118-108 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. “He just understands the game, sees it and knows where he wants them,” D’Antoni said. “They stay out, he throws a lob. They come in, he throws that. He’s got that little runner, his 3s are all over the place. I mean, he’s really good. He’s one of the best ever.” On a “Flashback Friday” night in which the Rockets wore their retro ketchup-and-mustard uniforms from their back-to-back NBA title days in the mid-90s, Harden sported a retro look of his own, with a white headband and cornrows. With Philadelphia threatening late, Harden knocked down a deep step-back 3-pointer over Josh Richardson with 1:17 left in the game that put Houston up 10. On the next possession, he...

- January 24, 2020

HOUSTON – Tonight, the NBA announced that Houston Rockets guard James Harden was voted a starter for the 2020 NBA All-Star Game, which takes place in Chicago on Sunday, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. CT and will be televised by TNT. It is the fourth straight year that Harden has been voted a starter. He also replaced Kobe Bryant in the starting lineup in both 2014 and 2015.

Fans accounted for 50 percent of the vote, while current players and a panel of basketball media accounted for 25 percent each.

John Lucas nears coaching deal with Rockets; Nate McMillan off board - Rockets Wire

- November 05, 2020

The Houston Rockets are close to reaching an agreement with John Lucas to be an assistant on the staff of new coach Stephen Silas, as first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic . Since 2016, Lucas has worked with the Rockets as the director of player development for previous head coach Mike D’Antoni. The 66-year-old veteran coach was reportedly one of three finalists in Houston’s recent search for the lead job, alongside Silas and Jeff Van Gundy. In the 1990s and early 2000s, Lucas was a head coach with San Antonio, Philadelphia, and Cleveland. His age and extensive experience could be a good fit with the 47-year-old Silas, who is becoming an NBA head coach for the first time. Lucas also has existing relationships with current Houston players like All-Star guards James Harden and Russell Westbrook, which is part of why he was a finalist for the main job. The Rockets are near agreement on deal with John Lucas to be an assistant coach under Stephen Silas, sources...
