Start this week off like you drank a Red Bull and a Nitro coffee with today’s Monday Minute.
SI Swimsuit Edition
Martha Stewart is gracing the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue cover this Thursday. At 81 years old, kudos to you, Martha Stewart. There are four covers. The other cover models are Kim Petras, Megan Fox, and Sports Illustrated veteran Brooks Nader.
NBA (national basketball association)
The Lakers and LeBron James, well, they ousted the Warriors, the defending champions. They ousted the Warriors this weekend, and they will move on to play the number-one-ranked Denver Nuggets on Tuesday. So now, LeBron and the Lakers are the first Western Conference team to do this, to oust the Warriors in the Steve Kerr era. So get pretty excited about that unless you're a Warriors fan.
Jason Tatum had a fantastic game to carry the Boston Celtics over the 76ers. And, of course, Ja Morant is again in trouble for flashing a gun on social media. As a result, he has been suspended indefinitely. You might remember that story back from March.
College graduates
Jalen Hurtz, quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. He went back to school, and even though he has a five-year, $225M contract, this weekend, he received his master's at the University of Oklahoma. Kudos to you, Jalen Hurts.
Then there’s Todd Bowles, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach. At 57 years old, 37 years after he left Temple, he earned his college degree this weekend. Kudos to you.
