Elon vs. Zuck Cage Match?! šŸ˜³šŸ‘Š

PLUS: NBA Draft team grades & rankings šŸ˜¤

LETā€™S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!!

The phenomenon of celebrity boxing matches has reached a new level. We have witnessed individuals like the Paul brothers stepping into the ring with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and former NBA player Nate Robinson. I know some people think they are an embarrassment to the sport, but personally, I don't mind these matches and find them to be an intriguing addition to the world of boxing/UFC and even betting.

We have now reached a point where things are going too far. The idea of Elon Musk versus Mark Zuckerberg in a monumental battle between tech billionaires is simply excessive. I donā€™t think anyone could have predicted that we would be sitting here discussing the odds between Elon vs. Musk in a cage match for the ages, but here we are. šŸ¤£ Are they messing around or is this a serious fight? Letā€™s get into it! šŸ‘‡

When two of the world's most prominent nerds start taunting each other about going head-to-head in a cage match, it captures people's attention. Simultaneously, sportsbooks have begun establishing odds for Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg, with one side seemingly holding a clear advantage.

Now, let's delve into how this all began, examine the odds, and discuss the best bets for this hypothetical match... if it were to ever materialize.šŸ‘‡

Elon was being his usual troll-self when he responded to a tweet about Zuckerberg's company, META, releasing a rival to Twitter. Here's the thread:

Zuck responded to these Tweets with the following Instagram Story.šŸ‘‡

DraftKings released odds with Zuckerberg as the favorite at -160, while Musk was listed at +140.

To be honest, I expected a more significant difference. Zuckerberg is known for his proficiency in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and is also 12 years younger. Musk is 51 years old, whereas Zuckerberg is 39.

In terms of physical attributes, Musk stands at 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs approximately 187 pounds, while Zuckerberg is 5 feet 7 inches tall and around 150 pounds. Musk does hold a significant advantage in terms of height and weight. However, I believe Zuckerberg would come out on top due to his fighting background. I mean just look at these moves.šŸ‘‡

Unfortunately, we canā€™t place bets on the fight yet since it hasnā€™t been officially confirmed. Nevertheless, Dana White, the president of the UFC, stated in an interview that if both parties are truly committed to making it happen, he would organize a pay-per-view event.

NBA Draft Team Grades & Rankings

The NBA Draft is always one of the most exciting nights on the league calendar, and the 2023 edition was no exception. Equal parts predictable and dramatic, the event began with Victor Wembanyama walking the stage and ending with a flurry of trades.

But how did each team perform? And who were some of the most ā€” and least ā€” valuable picks made? Letā€™s dive into it.

2023 NBA Draft: A Grades

1. San Antonio Spurs: A+

Picks: Victor Wembanyama (No. 1), Sidy Cissoko (No. 44)

The Spurs were destined to win the draft the moment they were awarded the No. 1 overall pick, which was rightly used to select French phenom Victor Wembanyama. Thereā€™s nothing he canā€™t do, and he instantly transforms a team that won 22 games last season into a playoff contender.

If that wasnā€™t enough, San Antonio made a value play in the second round by taking Sidy Cissoko at No. 44 overall. He has a high ceiling as a two-way wing, and at just 19 years old, he fits this teamā€™s timeline perfectly.

2. Houston Rockets: A+

Picks: Amen Thompson (No. 4), Cam Whitmore (No. 20)

The Rockets selected who they believed to be the better of the two Thompson twins at No. 4, adding another young, bouncy athlete alongside Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr.

However, the reason Houston gets an A+ is because of its selection of Cam Whitmore at No. 20, who saw his stock fall dramatically as the night went on. It wouldnā€™t have been a huge surprise to see Whitmore go somewhere in the top five, so landing him late in the first qualifies as a major steal.

3. Dallas Mavericks: A

Picks: Dereck Lively II (No. 12), Olivier Maxence-Prosper (No. 24)

The Mavericks filled two immediate needs with potential long-term options in Dereck Lively II and Olivier Maxence-Prosper. Both players have high ceilings on the defensive end of the floor, and while unproven, Lively may well become the best traditional big man in his class.

I would expect each of them to find ways to contribute as rookies, but Iā€™m a bit higher on Maxence-Prosperā€™s potential in Year 1. He has the tools to make an impact right away as a 3-and-D wing, and his ability to play off the ball makes him a seamless fit alongside Luka Dončić and (potentially) Kyrie Irving.

4. Portland Trail Blazers: A

Picks: Scoot Henderson (No. 3), Kris Murray (No. 23), Rayan Rupert (No. 43)

Portland stood pat at No. 3 and selected Scoot Henderson, who was considered by many to be the best guard prospect in the class. Heā€™s an unbelievable athlete who is driven to succeed on both ends of the floor, and with or without Damian Lillard, he should do well in his rookie year.

The Blazers rounded out their class by selecting Kris Murray (Keegan Murrayā€˜s twin brother) and Rayan Rupert, giving them a mix of players who can contribute now and in the future.

5. Charlotte Hornets: A

Picks: Brandon Miller (No. 2), Nick Smith Jr. (No. 27), James Nnaji (No. 31), Amari Bailey (No. 41)

Miller was the highest-rated collegiate player in his class, and Charlotte didnā€™t hesitate to take him at No. 2, viewing him as an All-Star talent. Heā€™s a three-level scorer with some serious two-way potential, and his skillset will allow him to mesh well with LaMelo Ball.

The Hornets also snagged a former five-star recruit in Nick Smith Jr., who likely would have been drafted much earlier had he not battled injuries as a freshman. James Nnaji and Amari Bailey also have relatively high ceilings, and landing in Charlotte means they wonā€™t need to rush their development.

6. Utah Jazz: A-

Picks: Taylor Hendricks (No. 9), Keyonte George (No. 16), Brice Sensabaugh (No. 28)

Iā€™m not as high on Keyonte George as others seem to be, but I loved Utahā€™s selections of Taylor Hendricks and Brice Sensabugh. Hendricks projects as a prototypical modern wing, boasting an impressive frame, great defensive instincts, and a knockdown shooter from beyond the arc.

Sensabaugh may never be a plus-defender, but he can offset that weakness with his pure scoring ability. He shot 48% from the field and 40.5% from three-point range as a freshman at Ohio State, averaging over 16 points in just 24.5 minutes per game.

7. New Orleans Pelicans: A-

Pick: Jordan Hawkins (No. 14)

Every team needs a shooter like Jordan Hawkins, and the Pelicans used their only pick of the night to bring him in. The 21-year-old UConn product put up nearly eight threes per game this past year, converting at a 38.8% rate.

New Orleans ranked second-to-last in three-point attempts this past season, so Hawkins figures to be someone who can immediately step in and make a difference. This pick checks a ton of boxes and provides the Pelicans with a long-term answer to their nagging three-point problem.

8. Toronto Raptors: A-

Pick: Gradey Dick (No. 13)

I honestly didnā€™t expect to see Gradey Dick available at No. 13, so I donā€™t blame the Raptors for picking him up. Heā€™s a talented offensive prospect who was highly efficient as a freshman at Kansas, averaging 14.1 points per game on 44.2% shooting from the field and 40.3% from deep.

With Fred VanVleet potentially on his way out of Toronto this summer, the Raptors were smart to take an offensive-minded prospect with their only pick in this draft. He should be an immediate contributor for a team that lacked perimeter scoring in 2022-23.
