November 8th, 2021 was highlighted by Steph Curry becoming the oldest player with 50 points & 10 assists in one game as he led the Warriors to a 9-1 start. KAT drained an incredible OT-forcing buzzer beater but Ja Morant’s historic start to the season helped Memphis prevail while Miles Bridges also forced OT with a clutch 3PM but Carmelo’s record 3-point efficiency at home led the Lakers dub. Pittsburgh’s GW-FG capped off a wild MNF thriller against Chicago plus the MLB announced all 2021 awards finalists.
Kevin Byard has proven to be PFF’s No.1 Safety in 2021, San Francisco 49ers OT Mike McGlinchey will miss the rest of the season, and Los Angeles Angels rookie RP Chris Rodriguez is set to be out for most of the 2022 season now. On the other side of LA, the Dodgers signed former Angels SP Andrew Heaney to a one-year deal as free agency opened up while Andre Drummond racked up a whopping 25 rebounds in the 76ers loss to New York.
