Julius Erving, otherwise known as “Dr. J,” was not only one of the greatest players in basketball history but also one of the most exciting ones. His aerial artistry paved the way for Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, as well as LeBron James, to take over the modern era of the NBA. Erving hasn’t played in the league since retiring in 1987, and he has largely kept a low profile over the years. But every now and then, he makes an appearance and gives his opinions on current NBA players. He recently gave his personal list of the 10 greatest NBA players ever, and James was conspicuously absent from it. For that matter, so were Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal, as well as current Golden State Warriors sniper Stephen Curry.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
