All 2020 trade deals within the NBA have now been finalized. Quite a few major shifts occurred over the last few days, including All-Star Andre Iguodala’s move from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Miami Heat, and the Golden State Warriors swap of D’Angelo Russell for Andrew Wiggins with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Warriors sent Jacob Evans and Omari Spellman to Minnesota as well. In the final minutes before the deadline, there was also a three-team trade between the LA Clippers, New York Knicks and Washington Wizards — Marcus Morris and Isaiah Thomas will head to the Clippers, Jerome Robinson will join the Wizards, and Moe Harkless and a 2020 first-round pick will be making their way to the Knicks.

They’ll be hitting up major stadiums and amphitheaters around the U.S., starting at Boulder, Colorado’s Folsom Field on July 10 and 11, before wrapping it all up at Boston’s Fenway Park on August 7 and 8.

Kansas City (the one in Missouri!) set the streets ablaze in red for a massive Super Bowl parade to celebrate the Chiefs’ victory over the 49ers last Sunday at Super Bowl LIV in Miami. The team came back from behind in an action-packed fourth quarter to take the win with a final score of 31-20. Fans braved below-freezing temps and bitter wind chills to congratulate the Chiefs, who took home their first Super Bowl title since 1970. Standing in the cold is nothing compared to waiting half a century to snatch that Lombardi Trophy again.
