Likely top-10 player in CBB when fully healthy. Illinois is not disclosing a timetable for Mirkovic's return, which isn't immediately encouraging. Hopefully he's back in the fold before December.

I'm heading out for vacation and will very much not be checking social media. That in mind, keep an eye on the feed. Three more Shootaround eps are in the can and will run next week. My only hints to which schools: two are from the left column, one is on the right (with that team's coach).

Matt Norlander@norlander.bsky.social · 2w ago

Here are the schools for this year's Shootaround series. We'll send out the auction links for @stjuderesearch.bsky.social in August for the three bonus episodes.

Breaking: Dusty May's move from Michigan to the Mavs has materialized another aftereffect. That big December Duke-Michigan game has been axed, sources tell CBS Sports. Broadcasting complexities led to both sides walking away from the deal. Duke has replaced U-M w/ Texas Tech @ MSG on Dec. 21. Deets:

Duke-Michigan game in Miami called off; Blue Devils will instead face Texas Tech at MSG on Dec. 21

Duke and TTU will meet for a second straight December at the World's Most Famous Arena after broadcast complications led to a change

Probably the greatest soccer player ever probably just played in his final World Cup. That's something worth reflecting on, in short order. For CBS Sports, a column on the impact and everlasting legacy of Messi, whose name will live forever and whose impact on American soccer can't be overstated.

Lionel Messi didn't win second World Cup, but 2026 run secured his status as an all-time global sports icon

To live forever is for the world to know you by just one word. Messi is there with the likes of Jordan, Ali, Brady, Bolt, Serena, Phelps and a select few other all-timers

I think if you showed a picture of David Beckham and a picture of Usain Bolt to a randomized sample of 1 million adults around the world and asked them who each man was, more people would recognize Bolt (and know what he did).

DriveThruDuck@drivethruduck.bsky.social · 2w ago

Bolt was extremely famous for two weeks but 99% of people haven’t laid eyes on him in the past decade. David Beckham remains more famous than Usain Bolt, and I’m not sure Beckham is in the top 10.

The 10 most famous athletes in world history ALL being soccer players? Not a chance.

Tom Timmermann@tomtimm.bsky.social · 2w ago

On a worldwide, international level, the 10 most famous athletes ever are probably all soccer players.

Something I thought about but didn't include in the column as I was writing it: Given soccer's grip on most of the world for generations, and combined with the age of technology we live in now ... is Messi one of the 10 most famous athletes ever?

Spain's definitely on my "visit there someday" list, but it seems like there's 10 great spots around the country. To anyone who's been, what are the top three must-visit cities/towns/areas?

My pick is Spain 1-1, then 4-3 in PKs.

Lotta Tom Cruise here.

Soccer with no stakes attached is hilarious.

Spinning while making Friday pizza. Might be a top 10 record of the 2000s.

While inquiring about this topic in Vegas, I wondered if I might get some frenzied quotes about the state of play. Instead, the facial expressions and tones of voice from coaches were all matter-of-fact. "It's not a 'could this happen,' it's a 'this is going to happen,'" one high-major coach said.

Are Summer League players allowed to return to college basketball if they don’t make an NBA roster? Of course not. Is that going to stop them from trying? Of course not. Story from Vegas on a reality that the NBA and college basketball are bracing for later this summer.

Please avoid all salads, including word.

It really stings to lose James as a teammate. He’s got a great sense for how to write a really good story and always chases the good work. If anyone is in a hiring position, consider this a hearty endorsement. He’ll make your shop a lot better.

james herbert@jamesherbert.bsky.social · 3w ago

Today’s my last day at CBS Sports. They’re not renewing my contract. Sorry, LeBron—there’s another James hitting free agency. Eternally thankful for 12+ years, and for the chance to write about everybody from Dirk and Giannis to Alvarado and Konchar. Not sure what’s next just yet. Email’s in bio.
