San Jose’s Aaron Gordon took in the beauty of the NBA Finals arriving in Denver, then took over in Game 1

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:55:10 GMT

Nathaniel Rateliff bellowed “The Star Spangled Banner,” tipoff approached and the Nuggets stepped to the precipice of history.As the NBA Finals arrived on the Front Range after 47 years in the league and a frenetic Ball Arena brimmed, Aaron Gordon relished the scene.“It was just like, it was beautiful,” Gordon beamed after the Nuggets polished off a 104-93 Game 1 victory over Miami. “I took a moment during the national anthem was like, ‘Wow, this is really the NBA Finals and it’s really, really cool.’”Pregame nerves would have been perfectly understandable for the 27-year-old forward from San Jose.

Is SF Giants’ Kuiper ready to retire? His broadcast partner responds to new rumor

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:55:10 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO – Any suggestion that Duane Kuiper might be ready to step away from calling San Francisco Giants games at the end of this season is complete bunk, his longtime friend and broadcast partner Mike Krukow said Friday.A report published Wednesday by media blogger Rich Lieberman said Kuiper has been “contemplating leaving for several months” and that NBC Sports’ decision last month to fire his younger brother Glen from his job as A’s play-by-play broadcaster last month might have accelerated the process. Duane Kuiper has also dealt with health issues that caused him to miss several games during the 2021 season.Krukow, though, told KNBR’s morning show Friday that a Kuiper farewell after this season “is not going to happen.”“So whoever was responsible for creating that BS, shame on you, because Kuip and I are not retiring,” Krukow said on the “Murph & Mac” show. “We’re both going to retire the same day, and it’s going to be when we drop dead behind ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:55:10 GMT

By Sam Metz | Associated PressSALT LAKE CITY — The Good Book is being treated like a bad book in Utah after a parent frustrated by efforts to ban materials from schools convinced a suburban district that some Bible verses were too vulgar or violent for younger children.The 72,000-student Davis School District north of Salt Lake City removed the Bible from its elementary and middle schools while keeping it in high schools after a committee reviewed the scripture in response to a parental complaint. The district has removed other titles, including Sherman Alexie’s “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” and John Green’s “Looking for Alaska,” following a 2022 state law requiring districts to include parents in decisions over what constitutes “sensitive material.”A district spokesperson, Chris Williams, said it doesn’t differentiate between requests to review books.
