NBA latests news and updates 2021 from RNClub.com? Remember, my models rate win-win situations higher than distributive ones. Meaning, I would be pushing for a deal to be signed now whether I was working for Watson — who can be retained for two more years on his rookie deal — OR the Texans. Houston made some big moves this offseason, trading away receiver DeAndre Hopkins and signing left tackle Laremy Tunsil to an extension, and the best historical references show that securing Watson now correlates to more wins in the long term. My models rate getting Watson’s deal done this season as almost exactly the same value as the Chiefs extending Patrick Mahomes. When I sort the surrounding offensive casts of the top seven QBs in terms of win-share in my model (including Watson, Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Drew Brees, Tom Brady), Watson’s current surrounding cast on offense ranks the lowest … by far.
On the pitch, N’Golo Kante does not play like a superstar. He doesn’t have terrific footwork, he rarely scores, and he never really lands himself in hot water. Off it, he doesn’t act like one either. No flashy cars (he still drives a Mini Cooper), no fancy designer clothes, and no partying til the early hours. But that is exactly what makes him so unassumingly, but terrifyingly, brilliant. Whether it’s chasing the ball relentlessly for 90 mins, sitting in front of the back four, or playing as an attacking midfielder, the versatile 28-year-old always adds value, and a lot of it.
The reigning MVP who is about to take home his second straight award gets my nod as the best player in the NBA today. The Greek Freak is a machine. He is nearly unguardable due to his size and speed that allow him to get to the rim nearly every time. He’s averaging cartoonishly impressive per game statistics along with great defensive numbers — all in just under 31 minutes per game. His Milwaukee Bucks are blowing everyone out every night and have the best record in the NBA. He may also take home the Defensive Player of the Year award along with his MVP. Giannis Antetokounmpo does everything you want a superstar to do, and did I mention he’s been working on his shooting ability too? And he’s still only 25? Look out. This is Antetokounmpo’s league — we’re all just living in it. Read extra details on Amir Khan Net Worth Biography.
Social media can reveal how marketable an athlete is, and Joshua’s social media following is better than Fury’s. Joshua has double the amount of Twitter followers at 3m, and 11.3m followers on Instagram (compared to 3.8m followers for Fury). Both Wilder and Fury have been criticized for controversial comments in the past, and this may have impacted on their appeal to sponsors. According to Forbes, of Wilder’s $46.5m earnings, $500,000 was made up of endorsements. However humbling defeat was to Fury in February, Wilder’s biggest payday of his career (roughly $25m) will have softened the blow.
When the first tee ball sets sail next week in the Charles Schwab Challenge at esteemed Colonial Country Club, three months will have passed since someone hit a meaningful shot on the PGA Tour. Feels more like 180 days. A year even. Since the Players Championship was grounded on Friday the 13th in March, it has felt like groundhog day, and we’ve done our best Bill Murray trying to get through living the same day over and over again. At least we were afforded an abundance of time to ponder what we’ve missed and what we used to take for granted. A haircut, for instance. Happy hour. A high-five. A high fade.
