Bruce Brown to Leave Nuggets After Championship Season.

Columnist Mike Keeler urges NBA player Bruce Brown, who declined his player option and entered free agency, to call former NHL player Nazem Kadri and ask if he regrets leaving the Denver Nuggets' dynasty for a big payday elsewhere. Keeler notes that both Brown and Kadri were key players on championship teams who put together career years just as they hit free agency. He also suggests that Brown consider the NBA's salary-cap loopholes and the example of Bobby Portis, who eschewed a bigger payday elsewhere to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks and win a championship alongside superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Controversy Surrounds NHL's Pride Night Events and Christian Beliefs.

San Jose Sharks goaltender James Reimer sparked controversy when he refused to wear a Pride jersey during warm-ups, citing his Christian faith. He then brought up ex-teammate Nazem Kadri's Muslim faith in an attempt to explain how he would embrace a teammate of another stripe. Kadri responded by saying that Reimer's opinions are his own, and he wouldn't be offended if Reimer refused to wear a Muslim jersey. Reimer was just the second NHL player to skip warm-ups on Pride Night, and since then, several other teams have reneged on commitments to wear Pride jerseys.
