Here is the best from February 25, 2020:
The Story of the Day was LeBron vs. Zion… Icon vs. Icon. The two generational talents had a great duel in the first half, but it was the older, wiser LeBron who outshined Zion under the bright lights in Los Angeles and added a few dunks to his career highlight reel.
LeBron (15 PTS) & Zion (17 PTS) go back-and-forth in the 1st half of their first match-up!

While the reigning MVP & Middleton led the Bucks to an impressive victory in the 6ix, the Raptors proved that they’re not scared of the Greek Freak by any stretch of the imagination, and gave him a taste of his own medicine on a number of plays.

New York started 2020 as the presumptive favorites in the MLB this season, but now that the Dodgers have added Mookie Betts & David Price, and Yankees 2x All-Star Luis Severino will miss the entire season, the tides are starting to turn and LA could now enter the season as the World Series frontrunners.
UPDATE: New York Yankees 2x All-Star SP Luis Severino will miss the entire 2020 season once he undergoes Tommy John surgery https://t.co/12OPWvuyw4 pic.twitter.com/wTGRVU7oIe

Kobe Bryant was one of the greatest and most influential athletes of all-time. Coby White has a lot to live up to with a first name pronounced the same as the Black Mamba’s. However, Coby’s already off to a better start to his NBA career than Kobe (largely because Bryant only played 15.5 MPG as a rookie). White isn’t just doing things Bryant didn’t do as a rookie, he’s doing things no rookie has ever done. His 3 straight games of 30+ points has reminded people of the elite scoring potential Coby brings to the table.

The way Jayson Tatum has played of late, it’s becoming clear that he’s a borderline top-10 player in the NBA right now who has the potential to be the best player on a Championship-caliber team. These Playoffs could be real interesting if Tatum continues to play like this when it matters.
