🌎My Thoughts on the Sports World Today🌎

In the real world, the month of May has proven to be pretty excellent for sports. The NBA playoffs are really cooking, the baseball season is progressing, the UFC always offers fun summer events, and football is approaching slowly!

The Knicks made the NBA Finals and made it look easy! I do respect that team, Jalen Brunson is pretty awesome and fun to watch. I like the Knicks more than the Spurs or Thunder.

The Spurs and Thunder are heading to a Game 7, which is cool. I slightly prefer the Spurs to win. While Victor Wembanyama is a bit arrogant, he's way more likeable than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. SGA's playstyle makes my eyes hurt. Dude forgets how to use his feet when he plays basketball, the way he falls every 12 seconds.

The winner of that Spurs-Thunder series will probably win the title but, the Knicks are wildly well rested, and their lineup is pretty well-rounded and experienced. So the Knicks might pull it out if the winner of the West gets too fatigued! Pretty fascinating!

The NBA changed their draft rules to lessen tanking, I think it's brilliant! The blatant tanking was eroding the game!

The MLB season is progressing swiftly, the All-Star break isn't far! Cristopher Sánchez, Jacob Misiorowski, Shohei Ohtani, and Mason Miller are all looking to win the NL Cy Young!

Sean Strickland regained his UFC Middleweight Championship which is cool! His fight vs Khamzat Chimaev was incredibly close but I think Sean did just enough and was building momentum throughout the fight, while Khamzat was fading slightly. Sean is now a two-time champ! Pretty awesome!

Conor McGregor and Max Holloway are gonna fight this summer too! That's nuts! I'd say Max wins easily but this matchup is very interesting. Conor beat Max many years ago with a torn ACL by grappling Max. Max just lost to Charles Oliveira because of poor grappling!

I am anxious for football season approaching. Teams are slowly but surely ramping up their practices towards their full-on training camps.

I wonder if the Patriots will be the same with their Mike Vrabel drama. I wonder if A.J. Brown will actually join them or not. I think A.J. Brown is an incredible receiver, it could be a great spot for him. But New England feels really odd right now.
