At long last, Chiefs claim division title
Behind Sousa, Lively, Syracuse wins International League North crown...

You might want to break out the silver to celebrate the Chiefs' division title.

Mitch Lively recorded a career-high 11 strikeouts over six innings Saturday as Triple-A Syracuse clinched the International League North Division crown with a 6-2 win at Pawtucket.

After surrendering a two-run double in the first inning to Bryce Brentz, Lively (5-2) stifled the Red Sox. He retired 11 straight batters at one point and faced two over the minimum over his final five innings. He ended up allowing four hits and two walks.

"He stepped up huge, pitched an outstanding game," Gardner said. "Got a little out of synch in the first inning but got it together after that. He pitched really well in a big-game situation."

The victory came after the Chiefs fell short in clinching efforts on Thursday and Friday and closes a saga that spans 25 years, the last time they won a division championship. The club had not made the playoffs since 1998, so the celebration was befitting of a team with a lengthy drought.

"It's a big deal for us," Syracuse manager Billy Gardner said. "It was rowdy, we got all excited and popped some champagne. We had a really good time. It's been a long year. These guys worked their butts off."

Still, there's more work to be done.

"We have a couple of boxes we want to check," the 20-year veteran manager said. "We want to get to the [Governors' Cup] championship and ultimately the Triple-A Championship in Charlotte. They want to finish it off. It's been an outstanding group. They pull for each other, they compete and they really have a passion for winning."

Yuna Kim's interview after Sochi Olympic

It was a tough interview. With someone who has been skating for 18 years, and just ended her amateur career, the interview was difficult even before it began. It wasn’t just that the person interviewed was already so well known; It’s also that reporter(interviewer) and Yuna are more than mere interviewer and interviewee.

Before working for , the interviewer worked as Yuna’s manager from late 2008 to right after 2010 olympics. The job was mainly looking after Yuna in her training at Toronto. This interview offers glimpses of Yuna’s own story, as well as one from her former manager’s point of view.

Retired, but still training

Even before Sochi Olympics, the interviewer received many requests directly and indirectly to offer insight to Yuna’s everyday life. She was looking to be the first from Korea and third in history to attain the “Back to Back Champion” title. In fear of affecting such endeavor, the reporter abstained from writing about Yuna till this day. It would be the first comprehensive interview she has given to the press.

We met Yuna at her office in Seoul, and even from the first glance she looked very thin. Leading up to Sochi, she continued to say that constant loss of weight has been a worry for her.

“At Vancouver, I had to plan my diet and such to control weight. But for Sochi, I just kept losing weight. I didn’t even have too much appetite, so eating itself was really done mandatorily. I always thought “I have to eat this to train.” Even one incomplete meal led straight to weight loss. Just to keep stamina up I had to eat out of duty, and it even became stressful once in a while.”

-Now I can really feel that I’m not a “skater”(professional, or amateur really…) anymore.

“Because usually, at this time of the year, I am thinking “Yes! The season’s over!” yet at the same time I am worrying about the following season. But now I don’t have that and I fully realize that I am retired. When I was training for a competition, even if my first training session of the day goes well, I had pressure to do my second session well. But now that I’m out of the competition, I don’t have such pressure any more.”

Braced herself for a lower-than-expected score before Sochi

Even while she talked of her continuing training, she seemed very happy. It was as if she has begun to enjoy the life after retirement. Wouldn’t she have any sentiments left for the Sochi games, would the result still be on her mind, and this was her answer.

“Just before Sochi, I performed many clean programs during practice. I was confident that if I don’t choke, I would be able to pull of a clean program at the competition. All things aside, I skated clean thankfully as I thought, and the results are up to the judges.

I mean, I’ve been to so many competitions, and there have been quite some times when my score wasn’t high as I had expected. Of course I shouldn’t be the one to say that I had expected correctly though. I always enter a competition with the thought that there is always a possibility of a score that I can’t quite understand or accept.

It was the same for the Winter Games this year. So I did a lot of imagining of an unexpected score coming out. So it wasn’t even shocking. I already knew before my turn in free skate that other skaters had received high scores, so I guess that’s why I didn’t look so surprised at the Kiss&Cry.

It’s not as if such reaction was planned. It’s just that up to the Olympics, I wasn’t thinking “I have to win.” I was thinking more along the lines of ending things well, and I just thought that I would feel so free after this competition.”

-You were spotted crying in the mix zone after Kiss&Cry.

“Tears just came out after the first interview in the mix zone. I was about to answer and they just came streaming down. They weren’t tears of anger or resentment; I was about to say that I was happy that things came to a close. All this time, it was so hard with lack of motivation and stuff.

To be truthful, the two seasons leading to the Olympics were the toughest time as a skater. I felt each moment how hard it is to be without a goal. After the conference about coming back to competition, and getting back to training, I just couldn’t get myself motivated. It was demanding both physically and mentally.

-How did you overcome such times?

“Well, it wasn’t a matter of overcoming really. I don’t really think you can. I think you can only rely on time to solve it. It was so tough but it was a fact that I couldn’t quit… I just thought accepting the situation as it is and getting myself together was what I could do. I already said I’d go to Sochi, and you can’t nullify your previous statement just due to lack of motivation. When I really didn’t feel like training, I rested. I know now that training on such days isn’t any better than not. And while resting I could get my thoughts together too. I got myself together by accepting the fact that I’m going through tough time when I was. And all the while I always thought to myself: that I was a person who takes responsibility for the work that I’d been given.”

After the Olympics, there have been statements that Yuna may have won with one more triple jump. It was saying that Yuna’s technical score was lower than Sotnikova’s due to lack of a jump. I asked Yuna what she thought of such speculation. Her answer was very definite.

“The results came out and also did many opinions and analysis. But it’s not as if I can go back and do another triple. It’s all done and past. There is nothing I can do. I don’t worry about it any more.”

“one in a hundred years” (phrase like one in a million)

Working as her manager, the reporter had met many sports marketing experts. They all observed that Yuna was someone that may come once every hundred years in Korean sports history. An athlete with top notch caliber with star quality that doesn’t come second to teenage idol stars; such sentiments were shared by foreign marketers as well.

Because of this, many people around Yuna experienced many “firsts.” The marketing scene had to learn how to utilize an active athlete who receives such spotlight in marketing. They all silently agreed that such marketing would have to be done on a level that wouldn’t jeopardize her performance.

Before Vancouver Olympics, the entire commercial crew had to fly all the way over to Toronto for shooting.
It was the same for the press. The Korean press was lost in front of a person who was racking up so much interest from the public, yet had so little time for interviews. As Vancouver Olympics approached, even foreign press had to express their hurry.

Because she had so many interview requests, “Media Week” was held in Toronto. NBC, NYT, NHK, CBC, along with countless Korean media went over to Toronto during the week.

People who made YUNA

How could Yuna become “one in a hundred years” athlete? With the innate talent and perfect body for figure skating set aside, we could think of the environment that was provided to her to focus solely on skating.

As is well known already, her mother Mee Hee Park has had a great part in such environment. Yuna spoke of her mother as such:

“On some occasions I have said that it was tough because of her and such, but now I can understand her. So when I see young skaters arguing with their mothers, I can sort of understand both sides, not just the skaters’.

Mrs. Park’s efforts were greater than is publicized. She was famous even in Toronto for her efforts. The best seat that overlooks the rink was always hers, and the local skaters’ parents even called the seat “Yuna’s camp.”

Coaches can never be overlooked either. Yuna says that she “was able to meet the right coaches at the right time.”

“I have had 8 coaches thus far including Mr. Ryu who suggested competing. After Mr.Ryu, I learned all the triple jumps from Mrs. Shin. Now I ended my career with the two of them by my side. Maybe it was because they had seen me since I was really little, but the whole training process was very comfortable. Peace of mind should I say?

Even if a skater has abundance of talent, without a supervisor it’s hard for her to grow. Because Mr.Ryu and Mrs. Shin could point out my errors, I could rely on them on my way to Sochi. Some people wonder whether I need a coach when I had already won gold at Vancouver, but skating changes everyday with you daily condition, so you need someone to look after you technically and mentally. Now that I ended my career with those coaches from childhood, it really does make me sentimental a bit.”

With a bit of exaggeration, the troubles that arose in Yuna’s career and Yuna’s efforts to overcome them could be compared to “optimistic asphalt covering all the breaks and fissures on the road.” Yuna has said that “Secret” was one of the memorable books that she had read and the book pretty much conveys the same message.

Though many call Yuna “Daeinbae”[Dane-Bæ], there are also anecdotes where people say “I saw Yuna at an autographing event, but she looked disinterested” or “she refused to sign an autograph for me.” The question that the reporter received most frequently was also “How’s Yuna’s character?” I asked her how she felt about such questions and thoughts.

“When I don’t have a certain facial expression, I guess I look sort of disinterested or angry even… Maybe it’s because I don’t have double eyelids, I don’t know. When I don’t really have any expression, I get asked if I’m angry or sullen. But I’m really not….

Yeah I mean I heard so many gossip rumors. Once I heard that a flight attendant saw me fighting and cussing with my mom. It was ridiculous; once I’m on a plane I don’t even talk that much. I just think there are people who do such things on purpose.”

The reporter experienced first handed such rumors going around as if they were true. When Yuna was training in Toronto, rumor spread that she was dating Jang Geun Suk (Korean actor). It simply wasn’t true.

“Lee Sang Hwa (Korean speed skater, whose boyfriend is also a hockey player) didn’t introduce me to my boyfriend”

-There are also some negative comments regarding commercial appearances.
“Yeah I know, but I don’t read them these days. It doesn’t do you any good you know… I don’t really know my net income. I don’t even get allowances. I think I’ll take some more interest from now on. (laugh)”

-It was recently revealed that you were dating, and people wonder what a person like you look for in a man?

“You have to look at everything. As for rumors going around about my boyfriend, though they’re very far from the truth, you just have to accept it. But as for the rumor that Lee Sang Hwa introduced us to each other is false. Marriage? I don’t know, I never thought about whether I want to marry early or not.”

18 years as a skater and now Yuna is 25 (Korean age). Does she have any regrets? No was her immediate and definite answer.

“I mean I experienced everything I could. Results and everything. I sort of got to the bottom of it all to have any regrets. 2 olympics, regrets, sentiments yet unsolved, I don’t have any of that. Ice rink was school for me, and I had good result there. I haven’t lived too long, but it was satisfactory.”

-Many people are interested in your future plans.

“I’ve been thinking, but it’s been hard to decide. What to do, where to work, I just don’t know. It hasn’t been too long since the Olympics ended, and I’ve just been running headlong for 18 years.

I know I’m in the spotlight right now, and the decision is that much harder because of that. I just feel my choices are limited.”

As of right now, I want to help upcoming skaters. Now that they are getting some good results, I want to help them reap better ones. Figure skating is what I like the most and it’s also what I’m best at. It just doesn’t feel right to lay it all aside; I want to help young skaters. Even before this Olympics, I had so much I wanted to tell them. But since I’m not a coach, I just told them don’t be nervous and such as is usual for a senior athlete.”

At Sochi, Park So Youn, Kim Hae Jin, Kim Jin Seo competed alongside Yuna. They are all expected to be the face of Korean figure skating at Pyeonchang games in 2018. Park So Youn finished 9th in the world championship right after Sochi.

-There have been speculations of running for IOC athlete commissioner

After successful bidding for 2018 Olympics, there have been talks about future involvement with Sports diplomacy. But I think I was too young then to think about such things. Now I have all the prerequisites for running, but I don’t know yet. It’s not as if you automatically get the job just because you want it, and because the next Olympic games is summer Olympics, it may be more advantageous for a summer Olympian.

-Looking back who are you grateful to?

All the coaches and so many people who have helped. And also all the fans who cheered me on. There were many fans who would buy tickets to competitions abroad, and that’s really not an easy thing to do. I am most thankful for those fans who were always close by, but always cheering me on from a step away. Many things have happened throughout my career, and I really want to thank those fans who always believed in me and loved me for what I am.”

Yuna Kim truly looked free during the interview. It was an attitude without a single trace of regret, one that can only be taken on by a person who has tried her best through and through.

I sat down in front of her with the title “comprehensive interview” on my hands. But there are many questions I couldn’t quite ask and stories that she could not quite answer.

Though a public figure, there are much personal life and thoughts within Yuna. I couldn’t ask her to recall every single moment of the 18 years of her career and interpret them. She has shown her everything to make the public cry and smile. At 25 years old, we cannot ask her to reveal what would give her the motivation to live the rest of her life.

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Philadelphia 76ers, 70-69, thanks to a buzzer beating three-point game-winner by D'Angelo Russell.
"He has a chance to be special," Lakers summer league coach Jesse Mermuys said about Russell after the game. "These are the types of learning lessons that Summer League is about. He needs to feel what that's like and feel that situation, feel an ugly game and then come out with a win and hit a big shot."

Mermuys added, "That's part of his development."
On a night when the focus was on the top two picks in the 2016 NBA Draft, Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram, going head-to-head, second year players Larry Nance Jr. and Russell stole the show in the second half.


"I think that when you don't knock shots down, you've got to find a way to do something else and try to impact the game in another way," Ingram talked about how he continued to contribute during a tough outing.
Simmons, though, looked every bit as good as advertised. The top selection in the 2016 NBA Draft finished with eight points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, almost notching a triple-double. Simmons could have had more assists if his team had knocked down more of the open looks the talented forward created.

However, Simmons did also commit seven turnovers, which was a testament to Nance, who guarded the versatile forward for the vast majority of the contest. In truth, Ingram and Simmons never truly went head-to-head, and the for the handful of possessions the top two picks were matched up, a one-on-one scenario did not materialize.
Friday night's game was about redemption for the Lakers, who had looked far too sloppy in the first half. Nance and Russell committed nine of the Lakers' 13 first half giveaways, but the relatively experienced duo bounced back and led the comeback in the second half.

Allen Iverson scored 47
points, but David Wesley stole the show with his second straight
game-winning 3-pointer.

Wesley's 25-footer from the left side with 5.9 seconds left
lifted the Charlotte Hornets to an 86-85 victory over the
Philadelphia 76ers.

The loss snapped a six-game winning streak for the Sixers, who
squandered a five-point lead in the final minute.

Jamal Mashburn's 3-pointer from the left side pulled the Hornets
within 85-83 with 43 seconds remaining. After Iverson missed a
jumper from the top of the key, the Hornets called a timeout
with 19 seconds left.

Baron Davis took the inbounds pass at midcourt and dribbled to
the top of the key as Wesley ran across the baseline to the left
side, where Elden Campbell screened off defender Aaron McKie.
With a wide-open look at the basket, Wesley drilled the jumper.

"We were running a triple for David. Mashburn was the second
option coming off the screen," Hornets coach Paul Silas said.
"There was a mix-up and David came out wide open. He made a
great shot."

"There's no way we're supposed to give up a 3 in that
situation," Iverson said. "You have to do what you have to do
to guard the perimeter."

Wesley also hit a game-winning 3-pointer with 17 seconds left in
Charlotte's 93-91 victory over Golden State on Thursday.

"I always want it (with the game on the line)," Wesley said.
"It's just a question of will the coach call it for you. One
thing about a big shot is you have less time to think about it."

On the ensuing inbounds play, Iverson attempted to drive to the
basket, but Davis stepped in front of him and stole the ball to
seal the win.

"On that last play, Baron just ran through and got the ball,"
Iverson said. "It's a tough call to make either way."

"He (Iverson) got a good run at the basket, but Baron is so
quick we were able to hold him off," Wesley said.

Iverson hit 17-of-33 shots and all 10 of his free throws and
reached the 40-point mark for the second straight night, 14th
time this season and 30th time in his career. He had 43 points
in Friday's win at Detroit.

His 47 points were the most scored against Charlotte this
season, eclipsing a 44-point effort by Kobe Bryant of the Los
Angeles Lakers on February 2.

"Nobody besides Iverson scored in double figures for Philly,"
Silas said. "You've got to believe that one man can't beat you.
But I'll give him credit, he keeps coming at you. I can't say
enough about him. He's a great player."

Eddie Robinson led the Hornets with 15 points off the bench.
Davis had 14 and 10 assists and Wesley finished with 13 points.

In his second game as a Sixer, Dikembe Mutombo had nine points,
nine rebounds and two blocked shots. He had 17 points, 13
rebounds and five blocks in Friday's win at Detroit.

Afterwards, Sixers coach Larry Brown bemoaned his team's defense
down the stretch.

"We gave up two 3's the last two plays," Brown said. "But we
have to give them a lot of credit. They knocked down two big
shots."

Wesley and Robinson attempted to guard Iverson, who had 24 of
his team's 42 points at the half. He was held to six points in
the third quarter before erupting for 17 in the final period.

"He's so quick," Robinson said of Iverson. "I tried to keep him
in front of me. He's so tricky with the ball."

Iverson's third 3-pointer of the game gave Philadelphia a 77-76
lead with 5:19 left. A hook shot by Tyrone Hill increased the
advantage to 79-76 with 4:28 remaining.

After a 20-foot jumper by Mashburn, who finished with 12, pulled
the Hornets within 81-80, Mutombo converted a pair of free
throws with 2:55 left. A jumper by Iverson increased the lead
to 85-80 with 2:03 remaining, but the Sixers failed to score the
rest of the way.

"They made the key plays down the stretch and we didn't," Sixers
forward George Lynch said. "Charlotte gets up for us every time
and even more so because we're favorites in the East. Tonight's
a good measuring stick for them."

The Sixers eliminated the Hornets in the first round of the
playoffs last year and the teams split four meetings this
season.

Iverson scored eight points as the Sixers raced to a 17-6 lead
in the first 6:11. But the Hornets closed the quarter with a
13-4 run as Davis and Robinson combined for nine points.

Charlotte scored six of the first seven points of the second
quarter and took a 25-22 lead on a 10-foot jumper by Campbell.

A 14-foot jumper by Iverson with 33 seconds left in the quarter
gave Philadelphia a 42-41 halftime advantage.

The Sixers increased the lead to 48-43 lead early in the third,
but a 19-4 run opened a 62-52 lead for the Hornets. While
Philadelphia had just two field goals in seven minutes, Davis
and Mashburn combined for 12 points and rookie Jamaal Magloire
scored two baskets.

Philadelphia pulled within 64-58 at the end of the quarter after
a pair of baskets by McKie and a layup by Iverson.

A 3-pointer by Lynch tied the game at 68-68 with 8:25 left in
the fourth quarter.

George Karl called being on the court his sanctuary. Carmelo Anthony answered his coach's prayer.

Anthony scored 40 points, including the winning basket, and Denver overcame LeBron James' monstrous night to end the Cavaliers' 13-game winning streak with a 118-116 victory in overtime Thursday night in Karl's first game since revealing he has neck and throat cancer.

"I think he's happy," Anthony said of his coach. "This boosted his spirit up a lot. In the back of our mind, we know his situation. We're playing for him."

James had his triple-double by the end of regulation, and became the first NBA player with at least 43 points, 13 rebounds, 15 assists, two steals and four blocks, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

James' triple-double came in front of Oscar Robertson, who averaged a triple-double during the 1961-62 season. He was honored before the game along with Jerry West, James and Anthony as co-captains of U.S. Olympic gold medal basketball teams.

Robertson and West captained the Americans' gold medal in 1960, while James and Anthony were the co-captains in 2008.

James is also the first player to have at least 40 points, 15 assists and 13 rebounds in a game since Robertson had 42 points, 18 assists and 15 rebounds on Feb. 13, 1962.

"In that sense, it's huge because of what he was able to do," James said. "But in the sense of us losing the ball game, it means nothing."

Anthony matched him shot for shot, hitting the winner on a deep jumper over an outstretched James with 1.9 seconds left.

"It's finally me being on the other end I guess," James said. "I'm so used to being on the other end making shots and looking at guys. It's a great player and a great shot. If I got any closer, I was going to foul him. Big shot."

Anthony jogged to the other end of the floor after hitting the shot, nodding his head and shouting to no one in particular as the Cavaliers called timeout.

"A lot of people got some good pictures out of that moment," Anthony said. "I wanted the ball. I made the shot."

Cleveland had a chance to win it at the buzzer, but James slipped while receiving the inbound pass and his 3-pointer rattled off the rim.

James, who played 47 minutes, missed his final four shots. Anthony, who played 48 minutes, made 7 of his last 8. Anthony and the Nuggets have now won 10 of 14 games against James and the Cavaliers since the two superstars entered the league.

"It was a great game to watch, but I'm not sure it will go on my coaching resume as very polished," Karl said. "We probably should have won the game a little easier. We kept giving them chances and they kept taking advantage of them."

Karl will likely miss some games and practices while undergoing a rigorous six-week treatment program of radiation and chemotherapy, but he accompanied the Nuggets on their two-game trip after deciding against taking time off now.

"I think I need the gym and I need the juice of being happy about kicking someone's butt and preparing and watching video," Karl said. "I felt very early it made no sense for me to separate from the team. ... It's going to be my sanctuary to do what I like to do and forget maybe the things that are always going to pop into your mind."
