Tatum led the Celtics to come up with a 16-3 record in the postseason, which is the second-best record in a playoff run by any team in the history of the NBA. The Celtics also surpassed their rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers, in the most titles in NBA history at 18 titles. Tatum played a fantastic run with the Celtics, and it cannot be denied that the success does actually make it hard for critics to put some bad talk to his name.

"Just being at the topic of discussion of so many debates or whatever it is ... 'Can he lead a team? Is he a top-five player?'”, Tatum said. "There's still a lot of things I guess they can debate. But now I've done something that they can't debate: I've won a championship. Having that under my belt, like obviously it's still conversations to be had or whatever people want to say, but they always got to refer to me to as an NBA champion."

Tatum had to clip his shooting and had lower averages than usual in the previous season, noting how he was willing to sacrifice some of his massive performances in exchange for a harmonious team flow in the long run – and it definitely paid off at the end of the 2023-24 season.

More Runs to Come From Boston

Tatum also made it clear that the Boston Celtics are not taking time to rest and chill. Head coach Joe Mazzulla was already planning ahead, and it does seem that Tatum appreciates this kind of mindset and will definitely look forward to winning big with the team. With the star forward signing an extension, he is pleased to take on the next campaign with a thankful vibe moving forward.

"I'm very just thankful and grateful," Tatum said of signing the extension. "It's not about the money. I've been fortunate enough to make enough, more than I ever thought I would ever have and to take care of my family. So for me, just to feel wanted, that they wanted me to be, wanted me for the long haul, for my whole career.

Fans can expect to see more of Tatum’s game in the years to come as the Boston Celtics prepare for the next run. For now, the Celtics star’s focus is to help Team USA take on a bigger run this Olympics.

At the age of 29, Nikita Zadorov still has a lot to offer in his game with the hopes of winning big in the NHL at this point in his career. In return, the Bruins do get a promising boost on their defensive line by adding the former Vancouver Canucks star into their mix with the hopes of building on a new generation of playoff contenders in the squad.

It can be remembered that the Bruins fell short of the Eastern Conference Finals in the previous Stanley Cup Playoffs after losing to the Florida Panthers in six games. The team just lost a lot of its top stars prior to that, and this offseason is turning out to be a promising upgrade phase for the team as they continue to come up with impressive signings.

Zadorov’s Underrated Impact

Zadorov had a total of 20 points (six goals, 14 assists) in 75 games between the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks last season. He would even go on to tally eight points (four goals, four assists) in 13 Stanley Cup Playoff games with Vancouver, which was eliminated by the Edmonton Oilers in seven games in the second round. Zadorov comes in as a massive impact player for the Bruins, who are in need of top-notch two-way performers in the squad.

Selected by the Buffalo Sabres back in 2013 with the no. 16 pick, Zadorov has then tallied a total of 46 points (47 goals, 99 assists) in 642 regular-season games with the Sabres, Colorado Avalanche, Chicago Blackhawks, Flames, and Canucks, and 19 points (eight goals, 11 assists) in 58 playoff games. The defenseman expects to play a big role in the coming season with the Bruins with the hopes of being a playoff contender.

“I want to have my best chance to win a championship,” Zadorov said. “I’m really invested in what I do, and I’m putting all my heart into everything, and right now I’m here for six years and I want to put my heart into being a Bruin and to try to win a Stanley Cup in here.”

Fitting in With Boston

Boston already had high praise for Zadorov as soon as he signed into squad. General Manager Don Sweeney was pleased with the massive impact that the defenseman can offer to the team at this point in time, and it cannot be denied that we are all expecting to see Zadorov fit in well with the Bruins’ roster at this point in time.

“The presence that ‘Z’ brings is important to us,” Sweeney said. “Playing a lot of top-four minutes in the playoffs against top guys comes with a bit of swagger. He has certainly seen his game grow and probably get a little more defined in what he's capable of doing.”

Bruins captain Brad Marchand, forward David Pastrnak and defenseman Charlie McAvoy all reached out to him as soon as he signed with the team. He has even worked with Boston coach Jim Montgomery in the past with the Colorado Avalanche, but perhaps what stands out is Zadorov’s solid chemistry with star center Elias Lindholm, as the two played together with the Flames and Canucks during the past three seasons.

Bronny once again reiterated the fact that it was not his father’s legacy in the game that made him decide to take a leap to the NBA right away. However, he did acknowledge the role he played in keeping his father with the Lakers as the Lakers nabbed him with the 55th overall pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. Still, Bronny claims that he is ready to take on the challenge with better preparation now more than ever.

“It’s for sure amplified the amount of pressure,” Bronny James said. “I’ve already seen it in (social) media and on the internet and stuff talking about (how) I might not deserve an opportunity. But I’ve been dealing with stuff like this for my whole life. It’s nothing different. It’s more amplified for sure, but I can get through it.”

Regardless of what people say, it is a unique time in the NBA to see a father-son duo play together. We have seen how the Lakers have built its roster from scratch in the past few years, but who knows, maybe Bronny can make a big impact than most people think.

Starting this Tuesday afternoon, the 9th of July, The Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip will begin distributing nearly $1.6 million in guaranteed prizes. This giveaway is not an act of goodwill - but rather, a regulatory requirement for casino establishments in Sin City. In Nevada, most of the casinos that close are often mandated to return their progressive jackpot earnings to the gamblers who contributed to it by losing it in the first place.

Six memorable days filled with loads of prizes - a last hurrah

The Mirage's six-day event, aptly named 'The Mirage Progressive Final Cash Giveaway,' will run from 3 pm to 7 pm daily, all the way to Saturday, the 13th of July, and resume for a final day of prize giveaways on July 16. Of the $1.6 million in total, around $1.2 million will come from progressive slot machines. The Mirage casino will pay out $200,000 every day on July 9 to 11, followed by $250,000 on the 12th and 13th of July and finally, $100,000 on July 16.

The remaining $400,000 will be awarded from progressive table games. These massive prizes will be distributed through drawings to be held in the evenings, starting at 8 pm on the 12th and 13th of July, respectively. In order to qualify for these drawings, players need to participate in any qualifying table game - such as Ultimate Texas Hold 'Em, Face-Up Pai Gow, Let It Ride, Three Card Poker, baccarat, or blackjack - using a 'Unity by Hard Rock' rewards card between the hours of 11 am and 7 pm on the specified days.

It's not the first of its kind

If you think this is the first time this kind of promotion was held, think again. This event is not unprecedented. As a matter of fact, The Riviera held a similar promotion before closing down in May of 2015. However, not all casinos are subject to this rule. For instance, the Tropicana was not required to return its remaining jackpots when it closed in April, as regulations by the Nevada Gaming Control Board or the NGCB can vary depending on the circumstances of ownership of every casino within its jurisdiction.

The Mirage, which first opened its doors on November 22, 1989, will cease operations on the 17th of July, 2024, and will go through a three-year renovation and transformation into the second Hard Rock in Las Vegas, as the first Hard Rock in Las Vegas was reopened in 2021 as Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

After The Mirage closes, anyone looking to cash in their casino chips at the Mirage will have 120 days to do it. Chips can effectively be redeemed at Treasure Island after the 17th of July, and additionally, players can mail in their slot vouchers for redemption as well.

This promotion and distribution of funds marks the end of an era for The Mirage, a landmark casino that has been a staple of the Las Vegas Strip for over three decades - but its much-awaited transformation into Hard Rock Las Vegas promises to bring a new chapter to Sin City's ever-vibrant casino scene.

Horseplay has made its mark among the numerous horse bettors in many states, and since it started in 2012, it has acquired a huge portion of the market, particularly those who are not only casino players, but who are also avid horse racing enthusiasts. It has managed to combine the best of both iGaming genres: casino games and horse racing. And early in the year, it also changed its name to Horseplay (it was previously known as B Spot).

But yes - there is truth to the rumors, and you heard it here first: Horseplay is set to offer new welcome bonuses to players in several key states. The Welcome Offer Match, as it is also known, is designed to attract new players to the Horseplay platform, and it is offered in two parts: the first is a first deposit match of $10 to $20 to qualify for a 100% credit match and the second is a first deposit match of $40 to up to $250 in order to qualify for a 200% credit match.

Let’s break it down further: the first deposit match with up to 100% credit is called the Level 1 match deposit, and with this, new players who make a first deposit of $20 with a credit package purchase of $10 will receive a 100% credit match. The minimum bonus is $10 and the maximum bonus is $20; both are available in Freeplay mode.

The Level 2 match, on the other hand, entitles players to receive a credit match of up to 200% when they make a first deposit and first credit package purchase of $40, $100, or $250. They can then receive anywhere from $80 minimum to as much as $200 maximum bonus in Freeplay credit mode.

So for example, if you make a first deposit of $20 along with a first Credit Package Purchase of $10, you will qualify for the Level 1 deposit match offer, where you will get a 100% match on your $10 credit purchase and receive an extra $10 in Freeplay credits. When you make a first deposit of $20 and a first credit package purchase of $20, on the other hand, you can receive a 100% match on your credit purchase and an extra $20 in Freeplay Credits.

Alternatively, if you make a first deposit of $100 and make a first Credit Package Purchase amounting to $100 as well, you would qualify for the Level 2 offer, where you will get a 200% match on your $100 Credit Purchase and get additional Freeplay credits worth $200.

The terms and conditions that come with the deposit buy and match offer

But Horseplay is quick to add that this offer comes with its own set of terms and conditions, just like any other casino offer. First of all, as mentioned, it is only available to players located in the following states: Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Kansas, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wisconsin.

The other states that are not part of the promotional offer include California, Colorado, Montana, New York, Oregon, and Wyoming. These states will still have the same welcome bonus offer, which is a deposit match of as much as $20 after they deposit $10 into their account.

Be reminded that the promotional offer from Horseplay will run from Wednesday, July 10, 2024, until Tuesday, December 31, 2024. We suggest you log in early, because the promo will start at 7am Pacific Time.

Eligibility of participants

Remember that only those who are 21 years old or older can participate in the promotion, and you also have to be a fully registered patron of Horseplay. You also need to be located in an eligible state where Horseplay is regulated. Good luck, and happy playing!
