‘The Best in Sports’ is a daily PSO original series showcasing the best highlights, facts, and stories going on in the land of the NFL, NBA, & MLB every day. Get a recap on EVERYTHING that happened yesterday here.
Here is the best from March 3, 2020:
Caris LeVert went absolutely insane when the game mattered most in Boston. During the 4th Qtr & OT combined, he led Brooklyn’s 17-point comeback and franchise-record 51 point quarter by outscoring the entire Celtics team himself (37-36) in the two final periods.

If LeBron can begin to implement these shots from the logo into his game, like he has the last two games, he’ll become near unstoppable if defenders have to start guarding him from DEEP.

The Lakers are far from a one-man show. Anthony Davis is living up to the hype and is a perfect superstar teammate for the King. He’s an elite defender and continues to show he’s got moves on the offensive side of the ball as well. If he plays at this A-caliber level in the Playoffs, the Lakers will be celebrating their NBA-record 17th Championship (tied with Boston).

The Jacksonville Jaguars built one of the best, young defenses of the 21st century. A few years later, and almost all the staples to that team are gone. Coming off a down year, AJ Bouye will now play in the Mile High City after being flipped for a 4th Rd Pick.

In the first Best in Sports of March, it was stated that Nikola Jokic has a case as the greatest passing big man of all-time. And now he’s achieved something that makes that sentence an understatement.
The second fastest center to reach 2,000 career assists is Brad Daughtery at age 28. Jokic only just turned 25 two weeks ago.

Zion Williamson is having a rookie season for the ages, and it’s only been for a little over a month. Don’t completely throw out the idea of Zion stealing the ROY award away from Ja Morant if he continues to score 20-point games on the reg.
Zion Williamson has extended his 20-point streak to 12 consecutive games, the fifth-longest active 20-point streak in the league and extending his own record for the longest by a teenager in NBA history. pic.twitter.com/BNwlxiWCCa
