>According to A. Sherrod Blakely of Comcast SportsNet, Celtics general manager Danny Ainge said Ball recently informed the Celtics of his decision.
>Ainge reportedly called the Ball family and the oldest Ball son had issues with the Celtics blowout losses against the Cavs
>Lonzo then questioned the culture of the Celtics and said he couldn't understand the thinking behind a player like Isaiah Thomas essentially quitting on his team at half time
>Ainge took offense to this, saying team doctors shut down Thomas and he wanted to play, but Ball wasn't convinced
>The conversation ended quickly with Ball hanging up on Ainge, reportedly saying "I've heard all I need to, thanks."
>Ainge was said to be furious and plans to file a formal complaint with the league regarding the incompetence of Lavar Ball and the negative effect he will have on the league
>Boston holds the top pick in the draft after previously acquiring it from the Brooklyn Nets.
>Ball's choice is true to comments made by his father, LaVar Ball, with regard to his son's workout preference.
>The elder Ball informed Ryan Ward of Lakers Nation that his son would only work out for the Los Angeles Lakers in advance of the draft.
did he go too far?

it's all nostalgia. at some point, Messi was indeed top 5 ever. he was a magical little fucker who could literally destroy entire defenses and score the most beautiful goals.
now, he's just a goal poacher like Ronaldo, but scores less. at some point Messi had 5 balloon doors while Ronaldo had 2. now it's going to be 5 each, with Ronaldo being 3 years older. this alone proves my statement:
Messi has gone from elder god to scoring less tap ins than Ronaldo.

A hard stage with the awkward final climb of Monte Cavallo. Hopefully we get two races for the price of one, a breakaway taking time early and then the GC contenders exploiting the final summit finish of the race.
Stage 18 Wrap: the new generation, the next big thing. Pierre Rolland on the previous stage, now Tejay van Garderen. The day before Rolland had said he was encouraged to aim for the GC in grand tours but decided it wasn’t his thing: the pressure, the waiting game, the calculation, the expectation didn’t sit with a rider who preferred to take his chances in a breakaway. Van Garderen might like to compare notes with Rolland. He and Mikel Landa were the two who managed to stay away, dropping their companions on the final descent and beginning the final climb with less than a minute’s lead but managing to extend it during the climb. Van Garderen tried an attack but couldn’t shake the Basque so the two sprinted for the line and Landa showed he’s a great climber. Van Garderen finally got a win and the pressure seemed to flood out of his tear ducts.
Behind the GC contenders tried to make a race of it but seemed punch-drunk. Nairo Quintana launched a move with 53km to go but got reeled in fast by Tom Dumoulin and the others. It was the same on the final climb, the main contenders are all climbing on a similar level so that when one rider attacks they get a gap, put themselves in the red, pay the price and get brought back. Except for Thibaut Pinot and Domenico Pozzovivo who clipped away and took a minute in the final kilometres. Neither Tom Dumoulin, Vincenzo Nibali and Nairo Quintana wanted to chase, nor needed to chase. For all the tactical stalemate the simple result is that Tom Dumoulin could match all of his rivals on such a hard mountain stage and he’s another day closer to Milan. Orica-Scott worked hard all day and cracked Jan Polanc and Bob Jungels to put Adam Yates in the white jersey by 28 seconds over Bob Jungels.

The Route: 175km and the summit finish. There’s climbing along the way but it’s not going to be too selective, a chance for the breakaway to take time rather than for Movistar to crush Sunweb.
The Sella Chianzutan climb is 11.8km at 6.1% but with steeper moments but nothing too hard. The descent is arguably more of interest with its stone paving and tunnels. Then comes 60km across the plains to Aviano and the start of the Giro’s last summit finish.

The Finish: a steep start but it’s all on a big open road. The first half is the steepest part with 10% slopes and long ramps between wide hairpin bends. With 5km to go the road stops climbing the flank of Monte Cavallo and rides across a plateau and it’s more gentle, often 5% before tightening up for 7% between 3km to go and 2km, the last chance for the climbers before the road levels out towards the finish line.

The Contenders: there’s a high chance the breakaway stays away so spin the roulette wheel and take your pick, remembering that the final climb is hard and very selective so the eventual winner has to be fresh this late in the race and a competent climber. So Pierre Rolland, Dario Cataldo, Rui Costa and Omar Fraile come to mind as well as Mikel Landa but spin the wheel again and you could pick Michael Woods, Dylan Theuns or Sacha Foliforov.
Does Tom Dumoulin fancy another stage win? He’s already taken two including one in the maglia rosa but the final climb suits him well, a large road that evens out before the line so he can deploy his punchy finish. Nairo Quintana can try but Dumoulin will still be wary about letting him out of his sight, the same for Vincenzo Nibali. Thibaut Pinot can try to hang with the group and take the win in the sprint.
Weather: warm and sunny and a top temperature of 26°C.
TV: the finish is forecast for 5.15pm CET. There’s live coverage on home broadcaster RAI in Italy and Eurosport for much of Europe and beyond. Otherwise cyclingfans.com and steephill.tv are the go-to sites for schedules and pirata feeds.

SPORTS POWER RANKINGS
1. NFL: best structure, best test of skill, best test of athleticism and best test of teamwork/coaching. Seasons are perfectly paced and upsets can occur but are born more out of strategy.
2. NBA: Great structure although season is too long. Only the most athletically gifted can play. Best team usually wins. Also, the timing system is perfectly paced.
3. MLB: Fucking ingenious sport that is unique. There are so many little nuances to the game that make it interesting. However, there's too much luck. Also, fat people can play. Still, the playoffs are always amazing to watch and the intricacies of the sport really make it standout
3. Soccer: Must be athletic but not freakish athlete like two above. playoffs can be thrillers where the best team rises to the top but there is still suspense. Very few commercials but clock structure and pacing of the game is dreadful to watch. Hard to watch unless you're from a poor country with no other sport to look up to in your time zone.
5. Hockey: It's like soccer but ten times worse because its ten times more plodding and ugly. Zero synergy. Little room to build up suspense. Fucking awful.
