With the Paris Olympics are two months away, the Canadian men’s national basketball team looks like they’ll be getting their first Olympic medal since 1936.

A blockade of defenders —Thunder wing Lu Dort, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard —will play for the team as well. Now, Golden State Warriors wing Andrew Wiggins is teasing his commitment.

The Chicago Bulls are trying to figure out how to restore their former glory. While they may never reach the heights of the Michael Jordan years, they can at least rise above NBA purgatory. That may be a lot to ask of a franchise that hasn’t been a playoff fixture in a decade. To that point, the Bulls have only had two postseason appearances —both First Round exits —in the last nine years.

Rax hasn't been in Missouri for a long time. As Rax fizzled out of your community, it was probably converted into an Arby's or Fazoli's. Today, there are only a handful open in Illinois, Kentucky, and Ohio. It also doesn't appear that Rax has an official website any longer. The specialty, of course, was that roast beef sandwich. By the way, Arby's continues to do well.

The NFC team Minnesota Vikings are motivated to extend superstar wide receiver, Justin Jefferson but trade is still possible. According to a report, the Vikings are in active contact talks with the wideout so it seems like a deal will go through. The source said the new deal will probably be a “market-altering” deal that reshapes the market. It could make him the highest-paid non-quarterback, exceeding $34 million annually.

The Colorado Rockies are tied for 19th in the league with the Minnesota Twins with 31 steals. Cincinnati Reds Elly De La Cruz shortstop has 31 stolen bases alone this season. Steals are not just numbers on a scoreboard; they are game-changers. They provide enormous opportunities for the team to score. With speedy baserunners like Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle, who has 14 of the team’s 31 steals, the chances to score increase significantly. Doyle, alongside veteran Ryan McMahon, has led the Rockies offense to key victories over their past couple of series. The 26-year-old center fielder leads the Rockies in steals by double digits. If he continues to play just how he is, that total may surpass his rookie steal total of 22. Colorado will look to continue to win the series with the help of Doyle and get out of that last-place spot in the NL West division.

The more games the New York Mets lose, a trade may come in the form of slugger Pete Alonso. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, he reported that the Chicago Cubs are “the obvious potential suitor” if the New York Mets decide to trade Alonso. Heyman talked with rival executives with a few mentioning that a Mets sale would be “solid but far from spectacular”, listing the Houston Astros, Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays as possible landing spots. Alonso is in the final year of his deal and could leave in free agency after the season. If the Mets don’t want him to walk for nothing, they will need to trade him leading up to the July 30 deadline.
