Quick Glance: Jury Selection in Trump's Historic Criminal Trial

The jury selection in Donald Trump's historic criminal trial begins, with more than half of the prospective jurors quickly dismissed after saying they couldn't be fair and impartial.

A total of 96 prospective jurors were brought into court and sworn in. More than half were immediately excused after this questioning.

Judge Juan Merchan will schedule a hearing on Trump's social media posts that prosecutors allege violate the gag order against the former president.

The judge has ruled that Karen McDougal's testimony is allowed, as well as a series of National Enquirer stories attacking Trump's opponents during the 2016 election cycle.

Quick Glance: Bronny James: NBA Draft and Future Outlook

LeBron James's son, Bronny James, is exploring opportunities in the NBA draft. Is the USC freshman prepared for the transition to the NBA? Discussions with NBA personnel aim to evaluate his gameplay.

Despite his potential as an athlete and his selfless passing abilities, Bronny James did not deliver the desired performance as a freshman at USC. His weaknesses as a shooter and shot creator have raised doubts about his NBA readiness. James has declared for the draft while retaining his college eligibility and entering the transfer portal to keep his future options open.

Bronny's struggles as a shooter, especially with three-pointers, are highlighted by NBA experts. His lack of efficiency in scoring and limited ball-handling abilities could hinder his chances of establishing himself in the NBA.

Whether Bronny James can overcome his weaknesses and improve his game to succeed in the NBA remains to be seen. A potential return to USC or transferring to other colleges are possibilities, while his future NBA path is still uncertain.

Reed Sheppard was on the minds of many — including Mark Pope — in Rupp celebration Sunday

Quick Glance: Enthusiastic Kentucky Fans Welcome Mark Pope as New Wildcats Coach at Rupp Arena

Mark Pope's debut game as Kentucky's coach is still over six months away. However, the manner in which fans packed Rupp Arena for his unveiling as UK's new men's basketball coach would surprise those unfamiliar with the sport's calendar, considering the 2024-25 season doesn't commence until November.

Rupp Arena accommodates 20,500 spectators. The lower section of the venue features 10,000 theater-style seats, all of which were occupied. The upper section, with an additional 10,500 seats, took longer to fill, but by the time Pope was formally introduced at 4:54 p.m. on Sunday, not a single seat was vacant.

All of this to greet back a beloved figure.

"We witness these introductory press conferences frequently," Pope remarked. "No individual worldwide has ever witnessed a spectacle like this."

Gobert's actions on the court may have had more significant consequences than just the monetary penalty. His technical foul allowed Cavaliers guard Darius Garland to sink a crucial free throw, tying the score and leading the game into overtime.

Jrue Holiday, Celtics Agree To Four-Year, $135M Extension

Quick Glance: Celtics Extend Contract with Jrue Holiday for $135 Million over 4 Years: Sources

The Celtics reached an agreement on Wednesday with guard Jrue Holiday for a four-year, $135 million contract extension, as confirmed by league sources. The news of the deal was initially reported by ESPN. Holiday was part of the trade last offseason where the Bucks traded him to the Celtics in exchange for players and two first-round picks. Prior to that, the Blazers acquired Holiday in a three-team deal involving player exchanges. Holiday, aged 33, boasts a two-time NBA All-Star and three-time NBA All-Defensive First Team accolades. He clinched an NBA championship with the Bucks in 2021. Throughout the 2023-24 season, Holiday is averaging 12.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game.

Once again, the Celtics successfully negotiated a significant offseason addition into accepting a reduction in salary for an extension. Al Horford agreed to a two-year, $60 million extension following his trade to Boston in the summer, and now Holiday will forego his $37.4 million player option to kickstart an extension beginning at approximately $30 million annually. This extension provides Holiday with security well into his late 30s, while also retaining a player option post the potential salary spike from the next TV deal. Holiday promptly assumed the role of the team's defensive leader upon arriving in Boston. His adaptability and leadership in coordinating the team's defensive schemes contributed to Boston achieving the league's second-best defensive rating.

South Carolina's victory over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in Sunday's women's NCAA championship game garnered a preliminary average viewership of 18.7 million on ABC and ESPN.

It marks the most-watched basketball game since 2019, when the men's NCAA title game between Virginia and Texas Tech averaged 19.6 million viewers on CBS.

The women's final also recorded the highest viewership for a Sunday afternoon sporting event on ESPN and ABC since early 2021.

‘You can have him.’ Why John Calipari’s exit from Kentucky is best for both parties.

Quick Glance: Arkansas Saves Kentucky and John Calipari

John Calipari and Kentucky were on the brink of giving it one more shot. Arkansas saved them from themselves - and that's good for everyone.

The relationship between the 65-year-old Hall of Fame coach and the elite program was not just dull but also burdensome. When athletic director Mitch Barnhart and Calipari sat for a local television interview last month to assure fans that they were on the same page and committed to getting the Wildcats back on top, it seemed more like a hostage video.

Arkansas and its billionaire supporters unexpectedly intervened to recruit the coach nobody else pursued and offer him a compensation beyond what others could provide. Everyone benefits. Perhaps not the Razorbacks - time will tell - but certainly Calipari and Kentucky. He was in desperate need of a fresh start, as were the Wildcats. After failing to reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, the individual who led Kentucky to seven Elite Eights, four Final Fours, and a national title in his initial decade came to a realization.

This is not intended to diminish Calipari's past achievements at Kentucky. He revitalized the Cats, contributed to their national title, and kept UK in contention for a championship nearly every year during his remarkable first ten years. He served as a positive influence in the state, demonstrating his philanthropy in times of crisis. This is about recognizing that since 2020, Calipari was tarnishing this legacy. It's about acknowledging that both sides knew the journey had come to an end and it was time to step away.
