Between Silver and ESPN it’s like they’re ashamed there even is an NBA Finals.

"I've seen some of the chatter on social media about on-court decals. People don't realize, they went away a decade ago. There were claims, Kendrick knows...they were slippery...we're back to adding them virtually." Adam Silver on no on-court decals during the NBA Finals. https://t.co/YRhxLaR0TK

The problem isn't small-market teams in the NBA Finals. The problem is ESPN spends all year only talking about the Lakers, Knicks, Celtics, and Warriors. It's like pro wrestling. If the Thunder are the best team all year, talk about them so people care by the Finals.

Adam Silver sees no issue with small-market teams in NBA Finals https://t.co/vutwgjPtEb

I try to give the benefit of the doubt but it seems like anything fun comes along NASCAR does its best to screw it up to the point we all hate it. It happened with drivers doing iRacing and it's happening now. Would have rather just leave this be a thing on Hamlin's podcast.

Dude...check out this find from @_DanielCespedes. NASCAR is going to seed the in-season tournament by best finish plus tiebreakers over the next three races. It's not even points. Lmaooo WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS??? JUST USE THE STANDINGS!

In a series that contains the whiniest bunch of drivers in the world, Max Verstappen is the whiniest of the bunch.

This week we have the one and only Mike Greenberg. Got to learn about his start in Chicago covering the 90s Bulls and it's a great story of creating your own path in this industry. Check it out. #AAPodcast

The lack of self awareness from Jim France and NASCAR is astonishing but not surprising. And while we're on the subject, either sell Action Express or stop running IMSA. Pick one.

Jim France was down the road with plans to fund a Cup Series car at Sonoma, which would have seen the NASCAR CEO partner with Spire, Hendrick and Chevy. The deal fell apart shortly after @TheAthletic began working on a story about it. W/ @Jordan_Bianchi: https://t.co/AJzSptGVSZ

I'm sure the number will drop a bit over the next four weeks but a massive W for NASCAR because they're getting paid way more from Amazon for the right to have exclusively streaming races and are still getting around the same number of people who tune in to races on cable.

Prime Video reaches TV-level audience for first NASCAR race https://t.co/8JRWRRFiJl

Yesterday arguably ended with the best race of the day. Chastain going for worst to first was incredible and the Amazon Prime crew knocked it out of the park.

Great race. Won't be the most exciting Indy 500 finish but it had so much drama and twists for all 500 miles that it's going to be an underrated classic.

There have been more bizarre Indy 500's in the past but it's been a while since it's been this bizarre. And it's not even halfway.

We asked @Hinchtown about how the cold weather may bring chaos at the Indy 500 and it sure started chaotic. https://t.co/kvFsxUceLR

Top 4 separated nose to tail with a couple laps to go, Elton Sawyer would defend this kind of close racing if he was in F1.

Bernie Ecclestone was horrible but I'm willing to try his sprinkler idea for Monaco.

The last motorsports Christmas. Monaco/Indy/Charlotte for the next 15 hours or so.
