Greetings, from Las Vegas, where I’ve made a quick stop Tuesday for Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year event. Among the honorees are Michael Phelps, Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart and Cal Raleigh. And, of course, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be on hand to collect his Sportsperson of the Year award. It’s a great event. And a great excuse to have dinner at Hell’s Kitchen.
