Another week of no sports in the books.
I have been watching concerts on TV. I did see a little of the WNBA draft and was happy for Sabrina Ionescu.
This week will be exciting with the NFL draft.
Some sports news this week. The college basketball awards were announced.
Dayton's Obi Toppin wins the Wooden Award and the Naismith Award over Luka Garza.
Garza won the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar award for best center; Payton Pritchard won the Bob Cousy Award for best point guard; Myles Powell won the Jerry west Award for best shooting guard; and Villanova’s Saddiq Bey won the Julius Erving Award.
The NFL’s All-Decade Team was also announced. Among the stars from 2010-19 included Tom Brady, Adrian Peterson, Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Donald made the list.
Another tough week for the sports world. A number of events were postponed or cancelled, led by Wimbledon.
One positive was the announcement of the newest class of the Basketball Hall of Fame. The late, great Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Eddie Sutton, Rudy Tomjanovich, Tamika Catchings, Kim Mulkey, Barbara Stevens and Patrick Baumann will be inducted in Springfield. Congrats to a great group.
This would have been the week we looked at the Final Four.
Instead we are talking about a virus.
At least there was some sports news. More NFL free agent signings. College basketball players declaring for the draft. Others transferring. Coaching changes.

Sports figures made major donations towards helping the coronavirus struggle. Drew Bree, Steve Ballmer, LeBron James and Mark Cuban were among the many to give.
While most sports were silenced during the pandemic, the NFL was very busy.
There were plenty of free agent signings, led by Tom Brady going to the Bucs. The Colts added Phllip Rivers, the Panthers signed Teddy Bridgewater. The Saints re-signed Drew Brees.
In one day, several big names were traded. DeAndre Hopkins, David Johnson, Stefan Diggs and DeForest Buckner were all dealt.
Others like Todd Gurley were let go and signed elsewhere. Gurley landed in Atlanta.
