NBA teases OKC Thunder 2025-26 City Edition jersey announcement
Teasing their arrival, the NBA showed a glimpse of what the 2025-26 City Edition uniforms could look like. From what they posted on social media, they will have a throwback approach by bringing back a fan-favorite classic for each team. The NBA posted a graphic where each number and letter in "2025-26 NBA & Nike City Edition Remix" was replaced with a font of an NBA team's previous City Edition jersey. For the Oklahoma City Thunder, the "k" in Nike was in the same font as their infamous 2018-19 Native American heritage tribute jersey. It served as the Thunder's City Edition uniform in the final year of the Russell Westbrook and Paul George era. The fan favorite always gets mentioned among the best OKC jerseys. From some social media rumors, it looks like the font and design remain the same, but in a different color than teal. It looks like the NBA champion will bring it back —with some slight tweaks — for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren to wear in the 2025-26 season. We'll see when the NBA announces the City Edition uniforms for next season. It's one of the bigger news items of August. Everybody is also waiting for the 2025-26 regular season schedule, which should happen sometime this month.

Michelle Obama compares ESPN theatrics to watching ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta'
It is no secret that ESPN programming looks a lot different now than it did even 10 or so years ago. A network that constantly flooded viewers with some of the best highlights from the day before has turned into lots of talking-head shows like 'First Take,' 'Get Up,' 'NFL Live' and 'The Pat McAfee Show.' Advertisement Such changes have even grabbed former first lady Michelle Obama's attention, who said she cannot help but feel like she is watching reality television when she turns on the channel. 'It's all a sociological study. They think that sports is better reality TV, I'm like, 'it's the same thing.' If I listen to ESPN for an hour, it's like watching the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta,' you know?' Obama said on her brother Craig's 'IMO' podcast. 'It's the same drama, and they're yelling at each other, and they don't get along, you know? I mean, Stephen A. Smith, he's just like every other…' Michelle Obama on her podcast 'IMO' talking about how ESPN is reality tv. Michelle Obama / YouTube Advertisement Two of the hosts then joked that he'd be a perfect fit for the show. 'So that's why I'm like, 'what's the difference?' It's just, you know, it's just sociological drama,' added Obama. 'I mean, the fact that people over seasons of working still can't get along. 'They still have the same arguments, you know, and it's not just women. But this happens in sports, too. I find it fascinating.' 'It's all a sociological study. They think that sports is better reality TV, I'm like, 'it's the same thing,'' Michelle Obama said, comparing ESPN to 'Real Housewives of Atlanta.' Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Advertisement ESPN did recently cancel 'Around the Horn' after over 20 years, with one of its former analysts, Jay Marriotti, claiming it had gone too woke. In one of its final episodes, a former panelist making a return, Kate Fagan, said 'trans kids deserve to play sports.' In the show's final episode, longtime 'Around the Horn' guest Tim Cowlishaw took a shot at the network for 'hiring athletes instead of journalists.'

Sixers rookie VJ Edgecombe reveals he already has a rival in the NBA
Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe is looking to make an impact in the league as the No. 3 overall pick in the draft. He is joining a Sixers team looking to up the tempo in the 2025-26 season led by the handful of younger guards on the roster. As Edgecombe prepares to enter the NBA, he will be joining a Sixers team that does have championship expectations as long as Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey are healthy. Edgecombe can make an impact on this roster with his athleticism, high basketball IQ, and ability to make big plays on the defensive end. He showed a glimpse of that in the summer league. With that being said, it appears Edgecombe already has a rival in the form of Indiana Pacers forward Bennedict Mathurin as he stated on "Podcast P with Paul George": I was at Euro camp, I won MVP. After all that, Bennedict Mathuring gonna come up to me talking about when you get to league I'm gonna bust ya ass. I'm like alright bro…He didn't even say what's up. He's like yeah I'm a bust ya ass. I'm like damn, where the love at? Edgecombe will look to make an impact in the NBA right away. While he may not start just yet under coach Nick Nurse, he will certainly get a look in the rotation as he brings a lot of skills the Sixers need at this point in time.
