The Oakland Athletics will share a stadium with the Sacramento River Cats for three seasons prior to moving to #LasVegas, the team said Thursday. The Cats are the Triple A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. This kinda makes sense but dunno how the Sacramento team will feel having to play with a Double A [quality] #MLB team. It's a long time since Moneyball and all Billy Beane's awesomeness was ripped off by teams with scads more $$. Still, the A's, while enduring a recent three-game sweep by the Boston Red Sox [Go Sox!], drew about 4,000 fans per game, easily half being Sox fans. Sacto's stadium capacity is 10,000. The A's did average 10K last year, but either way it's #NoProblem In true Major League Baseball (MLB) fashion there's a club option for a fourth year. The A's will be called the Athletics or the A's for their time in Sacramento, dropping the word 'Oakland' — which can also only be good from a #branding perspective. Not just dropping the #Oakland part, but having no city at all on their name for four years. Then, what happens in #Vegas ... well, you know. Vegas a'course is already well into becoming a sports mecca — the now Las Vegas Raiders, the Las Vegas Aces, the Vegas Golden Knights — a boon for #convention-goers staying an extra day or entertaining #clients, sunburn-easily #tourists, and local residents. There are two Vegases after all: that 'what happens in' one, and the family-friendly one. Both can be pleased with the arrival of the A's, who perhaps will then have the dosh to keep players after working so hard to develop them ... only to see them currently and after several seasons decamp for hefty salary cities. They're building a $1.1B stadium in the #Nevada desert. Benjamin Siegel wd be proud. #baseball #sportsbusiness #sports #betting

NBA thought of the day: One of the most used and effective plays in all of basketball but especially in the NBA is the pick and roll or just the act of setting a screen for a player either on or off the ball. Good and even average defenders in the NBA expect to be screened especially when playing against a one guard. I think one of the most effective plays by a guard can be denying an on-ball screen but sometimes a guard can deny a ball screen by going the opposite direction and the defender still easily defend this with hardly any effort put into it. Guards in the NBA need to do something extra to fool the defender on the denial of the ball screen. In my opinion, the best player at effectively denying on ball screens for himself and being able to score on it or facilitate others with it is Jordan Poole. My favorite team is Golden State, no matter how much you love or hate Golden State basketball, if you have appreciation and love for the game then you have to understand the brilliance of Golden State as a franchise, the dynasty that they have created, and the players that they have drafted and traded for to be so successful. Jordan is in Washington currently but for the majority of his career, his skill with the denial of the ball screen was on Golden State. A majority of these clips are of him on Golden State but mainly these are ways that all guards, especially guards that are smaller and quicker can use to deny the ball screen with maximum effort instead of one quick move that is not effective. Jordan makes the game of basketball much simpler with his effort put into dribbling and playmaking which is all you can ask for in a guard. The first clip is a perfect example of JP denying a ball screen, we see JP do a very hard in and out towards Kevon Looney who is trying to set a ball screen, the defender thinks he is going towards the screen because the in and out was so hard and because JP was so low, his dribble easily made it look like he was going towards the screen and then he has a great pop back to drive towards the hoop and score. There will be times when he does not score but he still will always get behind his defender with this move. I think if anything guards need to put more effort into denying the screen just like JP does because he scores a good amount of times on this which can help out a team immensely.
