The crisis text line is a nice idea, but I don’t trust baseball fans like that...

I really enjoyed GOAT. I’m also glad Steph involved real-life women’s basketball stars A’ja Wilson and Angel Reese while highlighting a fictional female star dominating the co-ed multi-species league.

How Alex Klein, former Bryant basketball star, switched to bobsled - The IX Basketball Athletes often come to bobsled from track and field or football. But Alex Klein came from basketball β€” and nearly made the 2026 Olympics.

With the #Olympics starting this week, one athlete I'm thinking about is Alex Klein. Klein nearly made these Olympics after pivoting from basketball to bobsled. But she ultimately retired for reasons out of her control.

Read about her path @theixsports.bsky.social:
