Many expected the former Duke standout to take the step and elevate his play even further. While he did improve marginally last season, it wasn’t near the level Celtics fans were hoping for. One criticism Tatum faced last season was his decision to regularly pass up open 3-pointers in favor of contested midrange jumpers. Some even pointed to training sessions the 20-year-old had with former Lakers star Kobe Bryant prior to the season as the source of his regression....

In the fourth quarter of Game 7 on Sunday night, with the Celtics trailing by four, Tatum had eyes only for the hoop as he stormed into the paint from the top of the key and flushed it home straight over the top of LeBron James. Check it: Tatum had the TD Garden crowd on its feet, and not even his fellow NBA players could believe it: It might be his first season, but this is no rookie play....

While the Raptors (53-19) finished with a better overall record than the Celtics (48-24), Boston won three of their four regular-season meetings. The Celtics also handed the Raptors their only “bubble” loss on Aug. 7, but both coaches acknowledged the result of that contest ultimately didn’t mean much. “Our guys played well, but it won’t mean anything in a couple weeks,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens said after the win. Raptors coach Nick Nurse added, “I hate to say it, but there’s nothing really I learned....

Areas across the United States are seeing wide swaths of residents who are refusing or unable to fill 2020 Census questionnaires, either due to their own refusal, not enough workers or several other factors. Regions which range from California’s Fresno County, where only two-thirds of residents have filled out a census form, to rural North Dakota counties, where only 30 percent of residents have submitted self-response forms, have missed large portions of the population....

The city will unveil its latest sculpture, Women’s Rights Pioneers Monument, designed by artist Meredith Bergmann on Wednesday. Standing at a tall 14-feet, the statue is the park’s first statue to showcase real women will feature the likes of women suffragists Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony—all of whom were significant crusaders in the fight for women’s voting rights. While the monument is a particularly special one for Central Park as it’s first ode to actual American women figures—the park does include statutes of fictional women like the whimsical Alice in Wonderland fixture and Mother Goose—the statue’s debut is also a significant one in American history as it’s unveiling comes on the 100th-year anniversary of the passing of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote....

The fact SN’s 54-person voting panel selected Walker is no surprise. The star running back who rushed for 5,259 yards and 49 touchdowns from 1980-82, won the Heisman Trophy and led the Bulldogs to a national championship in 1980 would be considered on most lists of this sort.

The club will be missing the services of two Trinidad and Tobago internationals Carlyle Mitchell and Willis Plaza, who have been included in the national team for the twin World Cup qualifiers against Honduras and Panama. In their absence, defender Mehtab Singh is expected to pair up with Gurwinder Singh at the heart of the defense, while Gabriel Fernandes will be starting upfront.

The Blue Bombers and Alouettes were tied at 23 with less than 10 seconds left in regulation. A kickoff was set up, which in the NFL would mean a player would return it for as much as he could before being tackled, bringing out the offense to take a knee and send it into overtime. Not the CFL. In the CFL, these teams engaged in a punt-off. That’s not the official term, but it works....

This year’s Academy Awards ended on an anticlimactic note as viewers had expected a posthumous Best Actor win for the Black Panther star who passed away last year at the age of 43. Instead, Anthony Hopkins won the accolade for his role in The Father, but Boseman’s brother has said the late actor wasn’t that concerned about winning an Oscar anyway. Boseman was widely expected to win Best Actor for his role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom but his family is now defending Hopkins’ unexpected win....

Bailey retired at age 36 with a cornerback-record dozen Pro Bowl selections, more interceptions (52) than any active player and no regrets. “Until my last snap I tried to be the best on the field,” Bailey said. “We all get old in this game.” In addition to John Elway, John Fox and Joe Ellis, dozens of current players joined former teammates including John Lynch, Brian Dawkins and Jake Plummer in celebrating Bailey’s unparalleled career that ended because of a left foot injury....

Staley’s Chargers went for it on fourth down 34 times last season. That was tied for the third-most in the NFL behind only the Lions (41) and Bears (36). However, Staley’s aggressiveness is particularly notable because the Chargers were the only team with a winning record to attempt to convert at least 30 fourth downs last season. And some of his gambles proved costly, as some failures came deep in his own zone or at times when other coaches would have punted and let their defense try to set the offense up for success....

The Chargers pass rusher dealt with a lingering foot injury for a large part of last year and played in just seven games. When he did play, he wasn’t at his best, and the 2017 Pro Bowl player wants to get back to top form. “I don’t like watching film from last year,” Bosa told ESPN on Sunday. “It was not me. I didn’t have the same power, the same strength....
