(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)
1. Rookie offensive tackle Jonah Williams, the first round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals, is likely to miss the entire 2019 season after undergoing shoulder surgery.
2. The New York Yankees have hit a home run in 28 consecutive games, a major league record.
3. The Houston Rockets are reportedly planning to make a push for Jimmy Butler of the Philadelphia 76ers in a sign and trade deal once free agency starts Sunday.
4. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird received the Lifetime Achievement Award Monday night at the NBA Awards.
5. Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks was named MVP. Rockets guard James Harden finished second.
6. Laker owner Jeanie Buss said that she was “stunned” by Magic Johnson’s resignation and that she has full confidence in Rob Pelinka directing basketball operations going forward.
7. Montebello’s 2019 non league schedule: Garfield, @San Dimas, @Crescenta Valley, @El Rancho, La Serna.
8. Northview returning senior quarterback James Jimenez threw for 2,646 yards and 36 touchdowns last year and rushed for 754 yards and 15 TDs.
9. Former New York Yankee great Derek Jeter turns 45 today.
10. On this date in 1996 the Philadelphia 76ers selected Georgetown guard Allen Iverson with the first pick in the NBA draft.
Translation: The Anthony Davis deal, made at extreme cost to the franchise, has given Jeannie an anxious respite from the growing calls for her exit.
Loved the Magic & Bird friendship/rivalry.
