Jeopardy! contestants struggled mightily with a 21st century sports category

Can you do better than these Jeopardy contestants did? Probably.

Check out these three clues — one baseball, one college sports, one with a photo of a well-known NBA star — and see if you fare better than these smart people did on Tuesday:
