Every night of the Stanley Cup playoffs, TSN hockey analyst and former NHL goaltender Jamie McLennan breaks down each goalies performance. Jamies number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark. Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles Kings - (3) He gave them a chance to win early on with big saves on Saad, Hossa, and Kane. It was a very aggressive game for him, almost more than usual. He had no chance on the late goal to Sharp on a deflection. You can see Chicagos trying to get him moving and be overaggressive in the net; Im sure Bill Ranford (goalie coach) will point that out to him to be aware of. Corey Crawford, Chicago Blackhawks – (2) Los Angeles targeted his blocker side and definitely tried to create traffic in front of him. Voynov and Doughty had bombs from the point, Toffolis goal was a partial break that slid underneath his left pad – he late to seal the ice on it – and he had no chance on the Carter goal, a quick bang-bang play. Even though it wasnt his best game, I was impressed that his positioning did not waver, a sign of confidence in his style.

Murray produced an imperious display to defeat Novak Djokovic 6-3 6-4 and win the season-ending extravaganza at Londons O2 Arena on Sunday.The 29-year-olds first Tour Finals title came with the hugely significant bonus of ensuring that he remained above Djokovic in the year-end rankings and can finally claim he is the best player on the planet. Murray wins World Tour Finals Andy Murray defeated Novak Djokovic to win the ATP World Tour Finals for the first time So what do the Sky Sports Tennis team make of Murrays marvellous achievement? We asked each of the experts to sum up Sundays historic final and pick out one memorable moment from whats been a blockbuster week of action in the capital.Marcus BucklandThe final verdictUnbelievable, unpredictable, extraordinary. Im going to run out of adjectives and superlatives, but not what many people expected. Incredible nonetheless. Murray milestones Andy Murrays greatest moments revisited after winning ATP World Tour Finals Marcus memorable momentIf I had to pick one moment - aside from getting into the ice bath with Annabel - its actually that extraordinary point that Andy played at 3-1 in the second set tie-break against Milos Raonic. That unbelievable little dink between his legs that kept him going ultimately to an amazing victory there, and to the glory that followed just 24 hours later. Marcus Buckland and Annabel Croft take a refreshing ice bath! Barry CowanThe final verdictIts ended in a remarkable year. I think its a fantastic advert for the sport that weve had two great champions battle it out. Its always great to be part of history and Andys run was fitting it ended like that for him. An extraordinary effort Andy Murray outclassed and outfought rival Novak Djokovic, says Barry Cowan Barrys memorable momentI think the end. The last game reminded me so much of the Wimbledon final. When clearly he was still nervous, he was still able to hold his nerve, and thats the sign of a champion. Murray pulled off this wonderful half volley during the second set tie-break against Raonic Annabel CroftThe final verdictIt feels as if weve witnessed a really, really special occasion. I dont think anybody could believe that Andy Murray could dig into some reserves that we didnt think would be there after the tennis that hes had to come through in the course of the week. He said himself that when he woke up he felt pretty terrible and he didnt know how he was going to be able to play the way he did. Andy was rock solid, he served well, and I just think it topped off what has been a special year. Everyone feels that he is the true world No 1. Annabels memorable momentThat tie-break against Milos Raonic in the third set. I was courtside and it was unbelievable tension and nerves, passion, drama. It was an extraordinary match that will live long in the memory. Im never going to forget that match and I cannot believe he was able to bounce back the next day, after three hours and 38 minutes, and be able to beat the former dominant world No 1. But he really, really deserves it. Hes in such a great place and has become the most overwhelmingly popular champion. Highlights of the epic semi-final match between Murray and Raonic Peter FlemingThe final verdictTwo weeks ago, when Murray won Paris and we thought it could possibly come down to the two best players playing in the final here for the world No 1, it was a great prospect and the final was even more exciting than we could have hoped for. What Murray showed there was a great illustration of the human spirit. And he showed his fighting spirit, making a mockery of the physical travails hes had this week. He was fantastic. Highlights of the final between Murray and Djokovic at Londons O2 Flemings memorable momentIt was the entire final, from start to finish. Murray was resolute, he was aggressive, he just kept going putting fatigue out of his mind, and at the very end, until the very last point, you had no idea - or certainly I wasnt confident - he was actually going to win, but he kept the pressure on to finish the job. Heres Murrays superb angled cross-court backhand winner which was a contender for shot of the tournament Barry MillnsThe final verdictThis was the dream final, but did we dream that this would ever happen? A first British finalist in these championships and to play in the way he did as the world No 1, like the world No 1, he quite rightly goes into 2017 as the world No 1. It was brilliant. Murray: I still need to improve Andy Murray needs to improve to fend off Novak Djokovic in 2017 Millns memorable momentThe first moment I thought that he was fine was against Stan Wawrinka, when he came out and attacked him when he was being attacked, and for me that was the aggression we needed from Murray.dddddddddddd From that moment, I thought he was on his way. You cannot underline how great an achievement this is. He should be so proud of what hes done. Highlights of Murrays emphatic win over US Open champion Wawrinka Mark PetcheyThe final verdictI was super impressed with the way Andy was able to handle himself out there. There was no room for any kind of errors and he almost had to do it in two sets, just because of what happened the day before. He changed his game, way more aggressive, served huge. It validates all the hard work Andy does in Miami, which was probably the main reason, and his incredible work ethic, why he won. Mark Petchey says now Andy Murray has become world No 1, he is Britains greatest ever sports athlete Petchs memorable momentThe tie-breaker against Milos in the third. It was just ridiculous drama given what was on the line knowing that if he lost the match he was going to lose his chance to be year-end No 1. Just that whole 25 minutes or whatever it was. From serving for it from 5-4 to having match point twice and then being match point down - that period there was just like a tennis story between two great players, everything mattered. Thats why I watch the sport; thats why I love it. Murray converted on his fourth match point against Raonic during a thrilling tie-break to finally come through Greg RusedskiThe final verdictSuperhuman performance from Andy Murray. I mean, incredible. Most of the pundits thought Djokovic was going to win and I thought Djokovic was going to win because I didnt think Murray was going to recover. He stayed calm, he was aggressive, he did everything right and the belief is immense. For me, personally, this is his greatest performance. Might not have been the greatest tennis, but to end the season No 1 is phenomenal. Probably our greatest sportsman in my lifetime here in Britain. VOTE: Greatest British sportsperson VOTE: Who is Britains greatest sportsperson currently competing Gregs memorable momentId say that last game. Djokovic has to save two match points, gets to deuce, and then Ivan Lendl puts his finger to his mouth and says keep it quiet there Andy. He keeps it quiet, finishes it off and ends the season world No 1. The mental strength, the physical work - I mean, you just dont realise what hes accomplished: 24 matches in a row, five tournaments and beating the second best player on the planet. Weve never seen this in tennis before, so history is made and history is made by Murray. Heres the moment Murray won the season-ending finale for the first time Leif ShirasThe final verdictI thought it was an amazing performance from Murray. Every time, he was able to call on that resource of energy, to call on that adrenaline, to do what he can do best, and that was to put balls in play, to work the points, and Novak just didnt have any answers. Murray just locked it in tight, refused to give any errors and then was aggressive on the forehand, which was the game plan that coach Ivan Lendl wanted to instill in him. Murray spoke to Marcus Buckland, Annabel Croft and Greg Rusedski after beating Djokovic Leifs memorable momentI hate to think there was anything better than match point taken by Murray. The atmosphere in this building was absolutely electric. Ive been to a lot of great moments, at Arthur Ashe Stadium at the US Open, and Wimbledon had some great moments, but this was pretty special. To see Andy and this crowd come together was pretty special.

EDMONTON -- Injuries have put a crimp in many of the plans for the top lines of the Edmonton Oilers, but at least one pairing looks to be a lock. Jordan Eberle had a goal and two assists and linemate David Perron scored twice as the Oilers won their fourth consecutive pre-season game, defeating the New York Rangers 5-3 on Tuesday night. "Were playing well together, said Eberle of Perron, who was acquired in the summer in a trade with St. Louis for Magnus Paajarvi. "We play very similar games and I think that helps. He really reads the play. Chemistry is a tough thing to find in this league and when you find it, it is something to keep. Obviously the confidence in each other is there." Eberle himself has looked very solid in the lead-up to the regular season, recording a league-high eight points in four exhibition games. "You cant look too much into pre-season, but it has been a good start," he said. "Were just anxious to get going and do the real thing. Ive worked all summer to get to a point where I felt good about my game and thats what the pre-season is about." Taylor Hall and Ben Eager also scored for the Oilers, who improved to 5-1-1 in exhibition action. Hall will be under the gun playing centre for the first time at the NHL level with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins likely out for a month recovering from shoulder surgery and Sam Gagner reportedly expected to miss up to two months after suffering a broken jaw in a pre-season stick to the face from Vancouvers Zack Kassian. However, Hall said he is being careful not to put too much pressure on himself despite the new position. "Im just trying to have fun with it," he said. "The second you start thinking too much and have a billion thoughts going through your head when you have the puck is when you dont play well. Im just trying to play relaxed and in the moment." Marc Staal, Dan Girardi and J.T. Miller replied for the Rangers (1-3-0) who lost games on back-to-back nights in Alberta. New York struck first eight minutes into the opening period on Tuesday after Oilers defender Jeff Petry hit the side of his own net with a pass and Mats Zuccarello was able to get it behind the net and send it back to Staal at the point. Staals long shot through traffic beat Edmonton starter Jason LaBarbera glove side. Edmonton got that goal back five minutes later just as a power play concluded as Hall was able to tip a Justin Schultz shot past Rangers goalie Martin Biron. The Oilers took a 2-1 lead on a goal with just 30 seconds remaining in the first period as Mark Arcobello sent a long lead pass toward the Rangers net and Perron was able to out-hustle New York defenceman Aaron Johnson to the puck and chip it past Biron for his fourth of the pre-season. Edmonton made it 3-1 on a power play goal just past the one-minute mark of the second period. Petry sent the puck in front of the net and Perron was there to make a perfect deflection into the net for his second goal of the game. The Rangers came right back a minute later, as Miller picked up a rebound in front of the Edmonton net and hooked it past LaBarbera in his first game of the pre-season for New York. New York had a glorious chance to tie it midway through the second frame with a two-man advantage, however it went awry as Eager got the puck just as he was coming out of the box for the first penalty and his shot hit the post before coming back to hit Birons leg and carom into the net for a short-handed goal. The Rangers controlled the bulk of the play in the third, but Edmonton padded its lead as rookie Darnell Nurse send a pass from behind the net and Eberle was able to lift a backhand shot in to make it 5-2. New York finished the scoring with a power play goal on a point shot by Girardi with four minutes remaining. The Rangers continue their western Canadian pre-season trip in Vancouver on Thursday. The Oilers are off until Friday when they face the Dallas Stars in Oklahoma City. Notes: Both teams played the night before with the Oilers winning 2-1 over the Winnipeg Jets and the Rangers falling 4-1 in Calgarya Edmonton starts the regular season on Tuesday, Oct. 1 at home to the Winnipeg Jets.

2. If, at the start of the NBA playoffs, you picked Kawhi Leonard to be the MVP of the Finals, could you please produce a witness or some other form of proof?3. Its pretty hard to avoid asking it like this, so here goes: Didnt it do your heart good to see Erik Compton qualify for the Masters with his runner-up finish at the U-S Open?4. Already charged with killing three men, Aaron Hernandez is also charged with threatening to kill a jail guard and his family and with assaulting a handcuffed inmate. Of course, we presume Hernandez is innocent until proven guilty, but what are the chances hes innocent on all counts?5. I say this every time a new team picks a nickname that doesnt seem to fit—"Well get used to it". So are we comfortable yet with "Ottawa Redblacks"?6. And not to pick on Ottawa, but what are the chances that Erik Karlsson will play his entire career as a Senator? When Daniel Alfredsson leaves one year and Jason Spezza asks to leave the next, and when the sagas of Dany Heatley and Alexei Yashin are remembered, it makes you wonder, doesnt it?7. You know how Oscar recipients react with that "I never expected to win" expression? That was USA soccer coach Jurgen Klinsmann at the 32-second mark vs. Ghana. The difference? The actors are acting.8. If its wrong to mention a no-hitter in the 8th inning, should I not point out that Mark Buehrle has made 443 career starts without spending a day on the disabled list?9. Would you like to pass on some sound advice to the general manager of your favourite NHL team? Tell him to spend a lot more time thinking about what to do on draft day than on July 1st. Use the Los Angeles Kings as an example of a team built largely with draft picks and players acquired in trades and hardly at all with free agents.10. How many ways can you dislike a human being, and how close is Donald Sterling to the maximum?11. Conversely, when a person is described as "nice", it is considered a compliment, but because there are too many of the other kind, dont you think it should be regarded as high praise? One of the nicest people I ever interviewed was Tony Gwynn.12. Just wondering—have you seen a car flying the flag of Cameroon? Your answer—"maybe". 13. How do you argue that a pitchers win total is a meaningful stat when Randy Choate of the St. Louis Cardinals records a win by throwing one pitch? Well, you argue that Choates one pitch got the Cardinals out of a bases-loaded jam in a 1-1 tie and it was the most important pitch of the game….I guess.14. If you liked Spain or Portugal to win the World Cup, are you now trying to remember how many people you told?15. If the NHLs "compliance buyout period" sounds too cumbersome, what do you say we refer to "Ville Leino Days"?16. If the Blue Jays arent impressing you quite as much these days, can you name another American League East team that seems likely to overtake them?17. With the San Antonio Spurs in mind, is there anybody who will claim its unfair if Carmelo Anthony signs with the Miami Heat?18. The National League may be a pitchers league, but can you name a pitcher who is about to face Gregory Polanco, Starling Marte and Andrew McCutchen 1-2-3 in the Pittsburgh Pirates batting order who would feel confident?19. After being three wins away from the Stanley Cup, do you think the New York Rangers begin next season as a strong championship contender or as just another team in the Eastern Conference? Heres something to know—in the last 30 years, the number of teams that lost the Stanley Cup final one year and won the Stanley Cup the next year is one—Pittsburgh Penguins 2008-09.20. And finally, we learned from Martin Kaymer that Fathers Day in Germany was two weeks ago. Does it make you wonder how many other Fathers Days there are in how many other countries? Me neither, but thanks to Martin Kaymer, and apart from Erik Compton, it was the most interesting part of the U-S Opens final round.Video—"My Fathers Eyes"—Eric Clapton. Cheap Jerseys 2020 .

SAN DIEGO -- On Saturday afternoon, Cory Spangenberg couldnt wait to share the news that he was joining the San Diego Padres in a September promotion. So he did what 23-year-olds do. He tweeted, "cant believe my childhood dream has come true! want to thank my family friends and all the support from the .570!" Problem is, the Padres like to make such announcements. "We had a discussion about that yesterday," old-school manager Bud Black said. Its all good now. Spangenberg had a two-run single for his first big league hit and made two nice plays at third base to help Tyson Ross and the Padres beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1 on Monday. "It was a good day in the big leagues. I think his parents were here, some relatives were here and maybe a few people from the 570 were here," Black said, referring to the area code for Spangenbergs hometown of Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. Spangenberg, the teams first-round pick in the 2011 draft, had his contract selected from Double-A San Antonio and started at third base. He came up with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth inning and singled to right off reliever Eury De La Rosa for a 3-0 lead. "He got me down 0-2 but I was just looking for a pitch up in the zone a little bit that I could put the bat on the ball and he just happened to leave a slider a little bit up and I got enough of it to find a hole," he said. Spangenberg is the third player in Padres history to have multiple RBIs in his big league debut. His parents, two brothers and sister were at the game. "Its just nice to share this moment with them because theyve put in as much time and effort with this as I did," Spangenberg said. So alls well in the 570? "Theres unbelievable support there and they have my back all the way. Im just thankful for them," he said. Ross (13-12) pitched six strong innings, allowing one run and six hits while striking out eight and walking two. It was his 14th straight start of going six or more innings and allowing six or fewer hits. He is 7-6 with a 1.93 ERA in that stretch. A fifth-inning comebacker by Didi Gregorius hit off Ross glove but he threw out the runner. He tweaked his left knee on the play, which he and the training staff didnt realize until later. After Ross allowed a leadoff single by David Peralta in the sixth, manager Bud Black and a trainer came out to check on the tall right-hander. Black left Ross in the game. He allowed two more singles, including an RBI hit by Miguel Montero, before striking out the side. "I felt at that point he was our best pitcher," Black said. Ross said the mound visit "gave me a chance to refocus and get back to execution." Striking out the side came from "just grinding it out, really," he said. "I just minimized. Thats kind of the focus, First and third, no outs, just trying to minimize. Rene (Rivera) called some good pitches and worked his butt off back there. It was a good inning." Kevin Quackenbush struck out the side in the ninth for his second save in three chances. Arizonas Trevor Cahill (3-10) went only four-plus innings, allowing three runs and five hits while walking six and striking out five. "He walked six guys. Thats way too many in four innings," manager Kirk Gibson said. "He wiggled out of it the best he could." PADRES MOVES The Padres also promoted LHP Robbie Erlin and RHP Leonel Campos from Triple-A El Paso. Erlin made his big league debut with San Diego in 2013. Campos will make his big league debut the first time he pitches. WALK THIS WAY Rivera drew four walks for the Padres, including two intentional. He is the 30th player in franchise history to do so and the first since Chase Headley on July 30, 2012. Rivera was the ninth player and first catcher in team history to not register an at-bat despite making four or more plate appearances in a game. TRAINERS ROOM Arizona: The Diamondbacks reinstated OF Cody Ross (strained left calf) from the 15-day disabled list and RHP Daniel Hudson (reconstructive elbow surgery) from the 60-day DL. Hudson likely will work in relief. He hasnt pitched for Arizona since June 26, 2012, when he tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow against the Braves. San Diego: The Padres transferred 1B Yonder Alonso (right wrist surgery) and LF Carlos Quentin (bone bruise, left knee) to the 60-day DL to make room on the 40-man roster for Spangenberg and Campos. UP NEXT Arizona: Wade Miley (7-10, 4.30 ERA) has no record and a 3.86 ERA in two starts vs. San Diego this year. He is 1-6 with a 4.96 ERA in 11 career starts against the Padres. San Diego: Odrisamer Despaigne (3-5, 2.54 ERA) is 1-1 against Diamondbacks this year, including a 5-1 loss at Arizona on Aug. 22.

The Winnipeg Goldeyes got a jolt of momentum and some important separation on Thursday afternoon. Playing in front of a crowd of 5,788 at Shaw Park, the Fish beat the St. Paul Saints 7-2 to win the final game of a five-game series and pull 4 1/2 games ahead of the Saints in the race for first in the American Associations North Division. Casey Haerther was the hitting hero as the leading hitter in the league raised his average to .396 with three hits in five trips and also drove in a pair of runs as the Goldeyes improved to 37-22 on the season. Luis Alen had a hit in three trips, scored a run and drove in a run; Reggie Abercrombie went three-for-four with two runs scored; and Donnie Webb had two hits, including a solo homer as the Goldeyes put an end to a three-game losing streak. However, while the bats came alive, the real hero might have been starter Ethan Hollingsworth. Hollingsworth battled for 6 2/3 innings, allowing only one run on eight scattered hits as the Saints had at least one base runner in every inning and had runners in scoring position in seven of the nine innings. "That was a big win for us because it gives us some momentum heading out onto the road," said Haerther, whose two-run double in the eighth put the game out of reach. "This is a team that wont go very long without scoring runs and we knew wed start getting good at bats again. This win was good for us, good for everybody in the clubhouse, because even though it was a tough homestand, we won the last game and we all feel good about ourselves going into Kansas City." It was a wild one in many ways for the Goldeyes. In the first inning, third baseman Jake Blackwood drilled a double and pulled up lame at second base. He had to be taken out of the game so it meant moving Josh Mazzola to third, Luis Alen to first and Jordan Guida to catcher. But then, in the next inning, newcomer Sam Kimmel pulled up lame in the outfield and the moves were on again. With the Goldeyes down to nothing on the bench but pitchers, reliever Kaohi Downing moved to rightfield and Donnie Webb moved to leftfield. But when the game got tight, manager Rick Forney moved Guida to first base and Alen back behind the plate. For the ninth inning, Forney took Guida out of the game and put Haerther, the DH at first. Its more managing than anyone should have to do in one afternoon. "Ive often pitched to two different catchers in a game," said Hollingsworth. "But I think its the first time Ive pitched to one, then to another and then to the first guy again. But it was easy. Jordan and Luis both call great games so it was no problem for me at all." It took a while for the Goldeyes to get on the board, but when they did, they did it with gusto. In the fifth, trailing 1-0, Abercrombie led off with a double and eventually came home on a single by Alen. Guida, who was safe on an error, scored on a ground out by Haerther and the Fish had a 2-1 lead. Webb homered in the sixth to make it 3-1 and then the Goldeyes scored again when Brock Bond came home on an error by St. Paul shortstop Joey Becker. St. Paul cut the Goldeyes lead to 4-2 in the top of the eighth, but ion the bottom of the inning, Alen drove in a run with a single and Haerther drove in two with a double and the Goldeyes had bounced back from losing a doubleheader on Wednesday night. Hollingsworth (4-0, 3.96 ERA) got the win while St. Paul starter Robert Coe (4-5, 6.36 ERA) took the loss. There was no save The Goldeyes left immediately after the game for Kansas City where they will play a three-game weekend series.

Bradleys father, Roy James Bradley, died Sunday night following a lengthy illness. He was 85. The youngest of the six kids, Bradley is expected to rejoin the team in London, possibly as early as Wednesday. "Many of guys know coach Bradley and have been around him enough to know that hes a very tough-minded man, has a lot of intestinal fortitude and he really struggled with this decision: whether to lead this team or to lead his family," general manager Dave Caldwell said. "And we made it for him this morning to go home and be with his family and his mom, Gloria, to take care of what he needed there. "We have enough confidence in our coaching staff here and our team here that were going to take care of our business, and coach Bradley will rejoin the team as soon as he can. We fully support him and his family with that." The Jaguars (0-7) are flying to London later Monday and spending the week there before playing defending NFC champion San Francisco. Walker has 25 years of coaching experience, including the last four as head coach at New Mexico State. "He could have closed his eyes and just picked any coacch," Walker said.dddddddddddd "I think all the coaches are capable of doing what he asked me to do.

Caldwell and owner Shad Khan picked Bradley to lead the franchises latest rebuilding project, which clearly wont be an easy fix. Walker declined to address injuries, the teams quarterback situation or any other team issues. Its unclear whether Blaine Gabbert (hamstring) or Chad Henne will start Sunday against the 49ers. "Im going to sit in the chair for maybe a day and a half, so for me to have this big plan to try to rejuvenate our football team, I dont think thats my place," Walker said. Walker addressed the team Monday, giving them the news about Bradleys father. "Coach Bradley has been good to all of us, and any time a situation like this pops up when youre a family, youre going to feel bad and youre going to have some sensitive feelings," Walker said. "I think our team is a tight-knit family, and Im sure guys are hurting." Roy James Bradley is survived by his wife, Gloria, and six children. ' ' '

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - Joe Dumars tried to push the Detroit Pistons back toward the playoffs with a couple of big moves last off-season. That didnt work, and now the Pistons will be hiring someone else to replace him. Detroit has decided not to renew Dumars contract as president of basketball operations, a person familiar with the situation said Sunday. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not made any announcement on Dumars future, says Dumars will remain with the Pistons as an adviser. Dumars was named the 2003 executive of the year, and the Pistons won the title the following season, adding the 2004 crown to the two they won when Dumars was a player. But Detroit hasnt made the playoffs since 2009, and the retooled Pistons flopped badly this season. Detroit has one of the games top young big men in Andre Drummond, but hes one of the franchises few bright spots at the moment. Owner Tom Gores must now hire a new general manager, and in the meantime, ownership executives Phil Norment and Bob Wentworth are expected to supervise preparations for the draft and free agency. Detroit signed Josh Smith and traded for Brandon Jennings last off-season in what seemed like a return to relevance, but the new-look roster lacked cohesion at times. Coach Maurice Cheeks was fired in February, and the Pistons are 29-52 with one game remaining. "I think overall we have a quality team as is," forward Kyle Singler said. "I dont know necessarily the formula to win, but we just werent able to get into a groove earlier on in the year to gain confidence and know that were a playoff team." Dumars began running the Pistons in 2000, and he made one shrewd move after another at first, acquiring Ben Wallace for Grant Hill in a sign-and-trade and sending Jerry Stackhouse to Washington for Richard Hamilton. He brought Rasheed Wallace to Detroit in another trade and signed Chauncey Billups as a free agent. Even a draft day blunder in 2003 — picking Darko Milicic over Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade with the No. 2 pick — seemed like an aberration when the Pistons beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the finals the following year. That title, however, is well in the past. The Pistons have played in front of sparse crowds in recent years, struggling to stay relevant in Detroit while the Tigers have drawn fans in droves to their downtown ballpark. In 2008, Dumars traded Billups in a deal that brought Allen Iverson to the Pistons. That move didnt work out, and neither did the decision to sign Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva to big contracts during the 2009 off-season. Dumars and the Pistons also struggled to find the right coach. When Cheeks was hired before this season, he became Detroits ninth coach since 1999-2000. Immediately before Cheeks, Lawrence Frank and John Kuester lasted two seasons each, with little success. When Gores took over as owner after the 2010-11 season, the Pistons were undeniably in a rebuilding mode. Last off-season, Dumars had another chance to show he could guide the franchise back to contention. Instead, the Pistons have been one of the leagues most disappointing teams in 2013-14. Although Dumars is staying with the organization in some capacity, his departure as team president and general manager marks the end of an era. Drafted by the Pistons in 1985, Dumars spent his entire 14-year playing career with the franchise, winning NBA titles in 1989 and 1990. He was Detroits vice-president of player personnel during the 1999-2000 season before being promoted to president of basketball operations. AP Sports Writer Larry Lage contributed. D.J. Reed Jersey .

The UFC will finally venture into Latin America and heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez will lead the charge. UFC president Dana White announced at a press conference on Tuesday that Velasquez will return from a shoulder injury to defend his title against Fabricio Werdum at "The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America" finale on Nov. 15 in Mexico City. "Its the no brainer," White said. "This is where all the baddest fighters have come from for years. This is the new martial art people are taking all over the world. Its no secret the best fighters forever have come from Mexico and Latin America. It has always needed to happen." Velasquez, born in Salinas, California to Mexican immigrants, has been sidelined with a torn labrum in his shoulder since his last title defence, a TKO victory over Junior Dos Santos at UFC 166 last October. "Its a great honour for me," the champion said through a translator. "Im ready for this ... and its going to be a dream come true that i get to fight here in Mexico. Velasquez had surgery in December and fully expects to be prepared for the fight that culminates his participation as a coach on the hit reality show opposite Werdum. The show will feature a group of fighters from two weight classes - bantamweight (135 pounds) and featherweight (145 pounds). "Im going to do whatever I can do to fight here in Mexico and Im going to do whatever it takes to give a good fight," Velasquez said. White was quick to dispel any potential jinxes that could come in the form of a training injury or any other physical misfortunes that do occur in a contact sport. "Obviously, I think having Cain here is important. Its a contact sport, anything can happen," White said. "I want to make sure that when we come to Mexico for the first time we bring the best fighters and the best fights." "Hes a young guy, he should be healing up pretty well." On the other had, Werdum wouldnt mind facing a less-than perfect champion. "I dont mind if Cain wants to fight with injury because I would love it," the Brazilian said laughing, also through a translator. As for the other fights on the card. White says its too early to predict anything. "Its so far away. As we get closer well start to build the card," he said. "You know i want to come into Mexico with a bang." "People are going to come from all over the world to see this event. Believe me, its a monumental event," he added. "Weve been talking about it for years and years. People are going to come from all over the world to see this event."
