McCollum will not be playing in the All-Star game on Sunday, which is understandable, because of the logjam of great players in the West. He was a near-miss on that front. But less understandable is the snubbing he got from the NBA in the 3-Point Contest. He has been in it the past two years, and he is shooting 42.1 percent from the arc this year — better than six of the eight players who will be shooting on Saturday night....

The match at Camp Nou has been timed so as many people as possible from the lucrative United States and Far East television markets can watch. Tebas says the time slot was chosen despite the fact that viewers in the United Kingdom will be unable to tune in, due to an embargo on live television coverage for matches at that time. The Clasico is therefore set to compete with the multi-million-spinning coverage of Premier League matches featuring Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and champion Leicester City, all of whom are due to kick off games at 11 a....

Welcome to the new world of NBA rookies, where 19-year-olds are taking on challenges, playing major roles and not shaking in their sneakers at the first sign of trouble — or even when they encounter a certain Cleveland superstar. When Kuzma went for 38 points in the Lakers’ top win of the season against the Rockets, he became the first rookie in NBA history to score at least 38 points while making at least seven 3-pointers and at least 70 percent of his shots....

Dempsey delivered a pair of trademark classy goals to finish off a tough Vancouver Whitecaps side, moving Seattle a big step forward in its quest to repeat as MLS Cup champion. The Sounders missed Dempsey’s attacking influence in a goalless first leg in Vancouver, and though it took him a half to really get going, the 34-year-old eventually found his rhythm and flashed his brilliance in the 56th minute with a clever cut-back and finish to cap a beautiful passing sequence....

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw told reporters after Wednesday’s start that while “no-hitters are cool,” he believes that the frequency of them in 2021 is “probably not good for the game,” according to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. “Fans want to see some hits, I get that, and some action, and not too many guys striking out,” Kershaw said in the report. MORE: Could any of these 8 pitchers throw the next no-hitter?...

If you’ve watched MLB Network or ESPN the past couple days, you’ve probably seen the number that jumps off the television screen. In his past 26 regular-season starts, dating back to his June 21 shutout of the Twins last summer, the Cubs’ ace right-hander has a 0.85 ERA. Zero Point Eight Five. MORE: Who is MLB’s best third baseman? It’s really stunning. True tell-your-grandkids brilliance. Bob Gibson stuff. My first thought was that Arrieta has arrived at “Peak Bonds” territory, or that he’s at least established a well-equipped base camp and started his climb....
