Former Knicks star Stephon Marbury is working on getting more N95 masks to New York City from China. Former New York Knicks star Stephon Marbury is working to try and get 10 million N95 masks delivered to New York City from China, according to The New York Post . Marbury is working to try and get the masks at a cost of $2.75 each, which would be below the $7.50 price tag that they are usually sold for.

The Lakers' season of destiny, the Warriors' season to forget and other storylines that would fall by the wayside if the NBA season is canceled. The NBA wants to salvage its suspended season, but the potential of a champion not being crowned may eventually become a reality. Game-play and practice facilities remain shut down nearly three weeks after the NBA suspended its season.

Former Stanford defensive tackle Solomon Thomas is trying to help players at his alma mater find inner peace on the football field. A calm British voice gives instructions over the speaker system at Stanford’s football field. Scan down through the body now, before shifting your attention to the breath. The Stanford players are all frozen in place with their eyes closed. Some are lying down on their backs on the grass. Others are sitting up cross-legged. The California summer sun beats down on their sweaty brows. This moment of stillness in Stanford’s fall camp practice is a far cry from the loud hip-hop music that typically blares from the speakers as the players are constantly in motion. This is Stanford football’s daily camp meditation, a five-minute transition between the warm-up running and the rest of practice. Imagine a ray of sunlight slowly moving down from your head, and filling up the rest of your body. Your shoulders, your arms, your finger tips… In advance of the 201

Safest Bet series : C | 1B | 2B | 3B | SS | OF | SP | RP No matter how much you study and prepare for your fantasy baseball draft , something unexpected will inevitably happen. Maybe an under-the-radar sleeper you thought only you knew about gets drafted in the middle rounds. Maybe there's a huge positional run. Maybe some of your favorite players continued to fall, so you loaded up at positions you didn't expect to fill in the early rounds. Whatever the case may be, things will happen on draft day that you didn't anticipate and can't adequately prepare . Therefore, it's crucial to know the point of no return at the infield positions. While you'll field multiple players at the outfield and pitcher spots—positions that have depth—having a significant disadvantage at an infield position can be a glaring weakness in both hea
