There was a ton of movement this NBA off-season, with players being traded and signing with new teams. The Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks are among the teams that made several moves. But one team’s off-season stood above the others, according to Charles Barkley.

Barkley said that he felt the Bulls had the best off-season. He also expects them to make the NBA playoffs.

“I’ll be totally shocked if they don’t make the playoffs. And I’m not just saying this … I think it’s fair to say the Chicago Bulls have had the best off-season in the NBA.”

The Bulls surprised this summer. They added DeMar DeRozan in a sign-and-trade. They signed Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso. Don’t forget, they also made a big move at the trade deadline by acquiring Nikola Vucevic too. Between all their new players, they will be much improved entering 2021-2022.

After three fights featuring nine combined knockdowns and a wealth of unforgettable moments, Tyson Fury finally ended his epic heavyweight rivalry with Deontay Wilder with one last valedictory punch.

Fury got up from the canvas twice in the fourth round and eventually stopped Wilder with a devastating right hand in the 11th round, retaining his WBC title Saturday night in the thrilling conclusion to a superlative boxing trilogy.

Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) finished Wilder for the second straight time in their three bouts, but only after a back-and-forth event featuring five combined knockdowns and several apparent moments of imminent defeat for both men. Wilder ultimately ended up facedown on the canvas at 1:10 of the 11th round after a chopping right hook fired from high in the air by the 6-foot-9 Fury.

“It was a great fight,” said Fury, the sport’s lineal heavyweight champion and a former unified world champ. “It was worthy of any trilogy in the history of the sport. He’s a top fighter, and he gave me a real test tonight.”

The New York Giants lost to the Dallas Cowboys, 44-20, on Sunday afternoon at AT&T Stadium. The Giants dropped to 1-4 on the season while the NFC-East leading Cowboys improved to 4-1.

The Dallas Cowboys came into their matchup against the New York Giants as the better team on paper, but when an already banged up Giants squad then lost quarterback Daniel Jones, running back Saquon Barkley and wide receiver Kenny Gollady to injury, the task for the visitors seemed a tough one, to say the least.

And although New York was certainly up for the fight – this is the NFC East, after all – in the end the Cowboys dominated their rivals, securing a 44-20 victory and improving their record to a division-leading 4-1.

Injuries or not, the Giants really had no answer for the Dallas offense as Dak Prescott and company racked up 515 total yards.
