Willis Reed, Knicks Hall of Famer and NBA legend, dies at 80
The National Association of Retired Basketball Players announced Tuesday:
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver issued a statement Tuesday:
Reed spent his entire 10-year career at the New York Knicks, leading the team to two NBA titles in 1970 and 1973 - the only two championships in franchise history - and collecting NBA Finals MVPs in both years.
"Willis Reed was the main team player and leader consumed," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. "My first and dearest memories of NBA basketball are of seeing Willis, who embodied the winning spirit that he called the New York Knicks championship teams in the early 1970s. He played the game with great passion and determination, and his inspiring return to the 1970 NBA Finals remains one of the most symbolic moments of all sports.
"As MVP of the tournament, MVP of the NBA Finals twice and a member of the NBA's 50th and 75th Anniversary Team, Willis is a decorated player and is proud of his consistency." After his playing career, Willis guided the next generation as coach, Running the team and proud alumni of HBCU. We extend our deepest condolences to Willis' wife, Gale, his family and many friends and fans."
Reed had a great career - highlighted by two NBA titles and two NBA Finals MVP awards, plus becoming a seven-time All-Star - but he was most remembered in a legendary 1962-70 season that year, he became the first player to sweep the regular season, the All-Star Game and the NBA Final MVP.
However, he himself stepped out for the Seventh Final in 1970 after suffering a thigh injury in Game 5 and had to miss Game 6 of the series, and the Knicks had no answer for the Lakers' Wilt Chamberlain - which was the legendary time. Reed scored the first four points in that game, and while limited to the rest of the way he got the team to win the first title (Walt Frazier's 36 points and 19 rebounds are also related to victory).
Reed was born in 1942 in Hico, Louisiana, and stayed in this state until the end of college, leading the state to the NAIA title in 1961. Considered a small center at 6 feet 9, the teams quickly learned that he played much bigger as he went on to win the Rookie of the Year award in 1965.
Reed averaged 18.7 points and 12.9 rebounds per season during his career, and he was pulled out of his 19th place by the Knicks. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1982.

AHL player Krystof Hrabik suspended 30 games for racist gesture
On Friday, the American Hockey League suspended San Jose Barracuda for 30 games after making a racist move against Boko Imama of the Tucson Roadrunners in a January 12 game.
A source said that 22-year-old Hrabik imitated the movements of a monkey in a taunt that targeted Imama, who is black. The taunt was spotted by players on the roadrunners' bench, and Hrabik was confronted on the ice by Travis Barron of Tucson while Imama was held by a lineman during a game stop.
AHL learned of the incident on January 13 and launched an investigation in which Hrabik was removed from all team activities.
Hrabik's suspension includes the three games he missed during the investigation.
"The AHL is with Boko Imama," said Scott Howson, president and CEO of AHL, in a statement. "It is unfair for a player to be subjected to comments or gestures based on race; he must be judged only on his ability to play on the ice, as a partner in the locker room and as a member of his community.
As part of his suspension, Hrabik has the opportunity to work with the NHL Players Inclusion Committee to participate in education and training on racism and inclusion. He'll be allowed to apply for reinstatement to the AHL after missing 21 games. 안전토토사이트 The league's decision will be "based on an assessment of its progress in necessary education and training" with the Players Inclusion Committee.
The Barracuda and San Jose Sharks, affiliated with the NHL team, also issued a joint statement Friday:
This is the second time a player has been suspended for making a racist gesture against Imama. Former Bakersfield Condors defender Brandon Manning was suspended from five games in 2020 after using a racial insult to Imama.
Imama was written by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2015. He spent four years with the Los Angeles Kings from 2017 to 21 before signing with the Roadrunners last summer.

Klay Thompson to make debut on Sunday after missing 2 straight seasons
According to The Athletic, Golden State Warriors goalkeeper Klay Thompson is expected to make his long-awaited comeback against the Cleveland Cavaliers Sunday. The start of the season comes 31 months after the last time the All-Star played an NBA game.
The 31-year-old tore the ACL in his left knee in the sixth game of the finals in June 2019. In his attempt to return for the start of the next season, Thompson tore Achilles' right hamstring in November 2020.
The Warriors wrote a statement by Thompson entitled "The Wait is Over" after a few moments after the practice and the Golden State Coach Steve Kerr to the media.
It wrote: "I hate to say 'I can't wait' because I like to be present in my life, but I can't wait to play in front of our fans again. I am really, very pleased to be a warrior."
Without giving Thompson's secret, Kerr noticed just before that the 31-year-old would return as a starter before he cautiously added, "When he returns... it will be one of the most emotional nights in my basketball strip."
Thompson had on the 13th. In June 2019, a loss against Toronto ended Golden State's offer for a fourth title in five seasons. He misses the club's last 175 regular games and both 2021 play-in tournament games, with the warriors not back in the playoffs since his knee injury.
His return occurs just as the Warriors were settled with their first two-game losing streaks of the season. They were without Stephen Kerry (brusque right quad) and Dreamond Green (attracted left hip) in 101-96 losses in New Orleans on Thursday, which ended 0-2.
The Golden State lost the day before, 99-82 in Dallas.
Thompson will see a surprisingly familiar opponent in the Cavaliers, although he is from the other conference. This is because Golden State and Cleveland met in 22 playoffs - four times in the 2015-18 NBA finals - while Thompson helped the warriors to win 15 victories and three championships.
Thompson has only four teams (all Western Conference Clubs) more often: the Houston Rockets (51), Los Angeles Clippers (44), Portland Trail Blazers (42) and San Antonio Spurs (41).
After the hard hit COVID at the end of December, Cleveland was healthier last week, two out of three won, including 114-101 in Portland on Friday in the opening of a six-game trip.
Darius Garland led with 26 points, but the big news was the smooth transition of Rajon Rondo, who made his Cavalliers debut from the bank with 11 points, five rebonds and three assists in 17 minutes.
"It was funny," Garland said afterwards. "The first two pieces were like: 'Well, that's Rondo on the floor.'But it was cool. Rondo is a really good man; he is a great veterinarian; he is a guide on the ground. So it was fun to play with him'.
Rondo fills the void created when Ricky Rubio suffered a torn left ACL last month. Rubio is for the season, which is characterized by the high-scoring sign Collin Sexton (torn meniscus in left knee) in this distinction.
Clubs met again at the beginning of this season, when the Warriors fell from a deficit of 81-68 at the end of the third quarter to shock the Cavalry 먹튀사이트 and their home fans from 36-8.
Curry (20 points), Damion Lee (9 points) and Juan Toscano-Anderson (7 points) combined to make all the fourth quarter notes of the Golden State in the extraordinary comeback that produced a 104-89 win.
Curry accelerated the Warriors by 40 points. Garland had 25 for the Cavaliers.

NHL, players officially agree to withdraw from Beijing Olympics
After the league and the Winter Games Association were excluded from the games on Tuesday, NHL players will not participate in the Olympic Games in Beijing in February 2022, according to The Athletic and ESPN. No official announcement has yet been made.
The NHL had until the 10th. January to withdraw from the games without facing financial penalties.
Several factors have been involved in this issue. First, players were cautious when they were given to Beijing COVID and then faced quarantine that could take more than a month if officials considered them to be a public health hazard. Key names like Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews - two of the best in this sport who have not yet played at the Olympic Games - were at the forefront of their concerns.
"I'd love to go and compete," said Mr. Matthews. "But there are certainly some things that many of us would like to see worked out.
"It's disturbing if that were the case," McDavid said about the long quarantine that could be extended.
In addition to the risk of missing a long series of games across the country and the paychecks that go with them, the NHL announced on Monday that it will be taking a long break to try to stem its recent outbreak of CVID.
Instead of trying to extend the season to summer and shorten the next season, the most likely scenario would be to use the initial three-week break scheduled for the Olympics to gain ground and play these games.
NHL players have not qualified on the Olympic stage since 2014 in Sochi after the league left the 2018 Pyeongchang Games for various financial and operational reasons. Many current league stars weren't even recruited at that time, or are moving slowly to the NHL roster. The last time we saw a semblance of a better tournament was at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.

Jake Paul has next opponent, will take on Tommy Fury in December
Jake Paul has his next opponent, and that's the real boxer. Paul will face British boxer Tommy Fury on December 18.
The fight was announced Friday, days after Paul said the match against Fury "didn't cut it".
Fury, 22, is the half-brother of boxer Tyson Fury. He reached 7-0 in his professional career. Four of Fury's victories are down.
Paul, 24, is in the 4-0 position of his career. His final victory came in August, when he defeated MMA fighter Tyron Woodley in a split decision.
In addition to the fight, Fury agreed to bet on a side that could force a name change, as Paul explained:
"I've been invited to change my name to Tommy Fumbles or put $500,000 in his wallet if he loses. It has decided to accept a change of name. It probably makes more money available than it does with its family name. Perhaps he knows that his family disapproves of him once he is lost, so the only money he has left is Molly [Mae-Hague] and [Tommy's girlfriend and the British television personality].
Paul, who has gained popularity as a social media personality, comes out of a victory in August over Tyron Woodley who is the former champion of UFC in the field of weight.
Fury also has a passion for attention, competing with Molly-Mae Hague on the reality show Love Island.
The 22-year-old has an undefeated record as a boxer, but only one of his last four opponents has a career success, according to BoxRec. 배트맨토토 Fury's last KO shot came against Scott Williams, who is 0-20.
Fury defeated Anthony Taylor unanimously in August, as the referee for Paul's fight against Woodley.
