Aqib Talib reacts to Von Miller putting his Colorado home up for sale

Aqib Talib had a similar reaction as Broncos fans when Von Miller put his Colorado home up for sale.

The 2015 Denver Broncos season is remembered as Peyton Manning’s swan song season, but the true gem of that Super Bowl-winning team was the defense. Von Miller, DeMarcus Ware, Aqib Talib and Co. were No. 1 in the NFL in total defense that season.

Talib, who was a member of the famed “No Fly Zone” secondary, would also lead the NFL in passing defense. A top defense of that caliber requires special chemistry, bond, and culture to go along with talent.

So when Miller put his Colorado house up for sale, the former star cornerback understandably had a melancholy reaction.

Miller was a cornerstone for the Broncos since 2011 and was traded to the Los Angeles Rams mid-season in 2021. Miller’s time with the Rams was parlayed into a second ring for the future Hall of Famer which additionally garnered him a massive, six year, $120-million contract with the Buffalo Bills this offseason.

With Miller on the East Coast, it made sense for him not to need the Foxfield mansion. However, the memories he and Aqib made in the orange and blue will never go away.

Ex-Broncos OLB Von Miller is selling his Colorado home

The end of an era: Von Miller is selling his Colorado home.

It finally happened. For many Denver Broncos fans, it is the end of an era. It’s hard to believe. Von Miller is leaving Colorado. For a cool $4.125 million, you can own the former linebacker’s Colorado estate.

Before a trade to the Los Angeles Rams in the middle of the 2021 season, Miller was the face of the Broncos. Over 100 sacks, two Super Bowl appearances and one Super Bowl MVP later, Miller was a mainstay in the Colorado community. As an example, Miller’s groundbreaking charity, Von’s Vision Foundation continues to help Colorado children get affordable glasses.

After winning the Super Bowl with the Rams, Miller went on to sign with the Buffalo Bills with a six-year, $120 million deal.

Miller’s 17,148 square foot, 4.28-acre fortress of a home in Foxfield, Colorado is a sight to behold. In the home, there are four full baths, 11 partial bathrooms and nine bedrooms.

Take a look at some of the gorgeous features, which includes a massive basement bar and a 1,500-square-foot closet.

We’ll miss you, Von. It has been a hell of a ride.

Russell Wilson sets record for most expensive home purchase in Denver area

Broncos QB Russell Wilson recently paid $25 million for a Cherry Hills Village mansion, the most ever paid for a Denver area home.

Denver Broncos star Russell Wilson has a new home.

The quarterback recently purchased a $25 million home in Cherry Hills Village, according to a report from Lily O’Neill of BusinessDen.com.

Wilson has now set the record for the most expensive residential property purchase in the Denver area. His new four-bedroom, 12-bathroom home sits on a 5.34-acre lot and includes a pool and nine-car garage.

Wilson would be able to pay for all of his new home and still have $3 million leftover if he’s able to sell his Seattle house at the $28 million listed price. Wilson’s new Cherry Hills home is nearly twice the size as his previous house in Seattle (20,060 vs. 11,104 square feet).

It seems that Wilson’s house in San Diego is his primary home. The quarterback has hosted at least a dozen teammates at his California mansion for unofficial practices this offseason.

Wilson’s Colorado home doesn’t have a mini football field like his house in San Diego, but there is a big backyard with the potential to be converted.

LaMelo Ball: When is the release for his signature sneaker with Puma?

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball, who won NBA Rookie of the Year this past season, is scheduled to release his first signature shoe.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball, who won NBA Rookie of the Year this past season, is scheduled to release his first signature shoe.

Ball, who has been a fan favorite since he was a high school superstar at Chino Hills in Southern California, was always destined to draw intrigue when he signed a sneaker deal because of his off-court popularity.

The 19-year-old was signed to his family-owned Big Baller Brand until leaving the company to sign with Puma in Oct. 2020. He rocked the Puma Clyde All-Pro sneakers on the court during his first year with the Hornets. But it was only a matter of time before Puma was going to let Ball use his platform for his own line.

After an impressive debut campaign in the NBA, however, the hype surrounding the upcoming release for Ball is greater than ever. He will ride that momentum into the 2021-22 season and will be rocking his signature shoe in the process.

Earlier this month, Ball showed up at Las Vegas Summer League to support his Charlotte teammates — including his older brother LiAngelo Ball. He was wearing the Puma MB1, per ESPN’s Nick DePaula.

According to Tyler Tynes, who recently wrote a fantastic profile on Ball in GQ, the drop is currently scheduled for Oct. 2021. You can explore more of Ball’s collection with Puma here.

It shouldn’t be a surprise if the sneakers are immediately among the most popular among basketball fans, especially considering his popularity among younger viewers.

Here is a close-up view of what the Puma MB1 sneakers look like on his feet:

Season leaps: This is where players have improved the most this year

Before he signed with the Detroit Pistons, no one would have ever expected Jerami Grant to be so good at creating for himself.

Every year, it is fascinating to track the incredible progress that players around the league have made during their most recent offseason.

Considering that the NBA is home to some of the best athletes in the world, it’s always remarkable to see how these world-class find ways to get better and develop their games.

The league clearly loves it, too, and celebrated these accomplishments by introducing the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award (MIP) back in 1985.

Earlier this season, we have written about the impressive strides we have seen from 2020-21 MIP candidates Julius Randle (playmaking) and Jordan Clarkson (shot selection and efficiency) thus far. We have also highlighted the most improved players on each team, including first-time All-Stars Zach LaVine and Jaylen Brown.

But we wanted to highlight some of the ways that certain individuals have gotten better at distinct elements of their game since last season as well.

45 players were traded today. That’s an all-time trade deadline record

If you don’t recognize some faces the next time your favorite team is on the floor, don’t be surprised. Tons of players have changed teams.

If you don’t recognize some faces the next time your favorite team is on the floor, don’t be surprised. Tons of players have changed teams.

While this was expected to be a quiet trade deadline, basketball fans saw a massive reshuffling of the deck among franchises and front offices. After the action today, nearly fifty players around the league are now set to wear a new uniform for the rest of this season.

In fact, based on our research, we have never witnessed a deadline with more players relocating. In total, there were 45 active players who are no longer on the team that they were on yesterday. For some context, that is more than ten percent of the league.

This total includes the move between the Sacramento Kings and Detroit Pistons, who swapped Delon Wright and Cory Joseph, because ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported the move after midnight on the east coast. It does not, however, include draft rights (e.g. Cady Lalanne was sent from the San Antonio Spurs to the Golden State Warriors).

Those who were rooting for utter chaos may have been disappointed because big man Nikola Vucevic was the only All-Star who changed teams. But when it was all said and done, this was a busier day than the previous record, which was set in 2015 when 39 players were moved at the deadline.

Whether this can be attributed to recently expanded rosters or an increased willingness to gamble by emboldened front offices, fans experienced a busy day filled with exciting transactions.

Trae Young, Devin Booker and the complete list of 2021 NBA All-Star Game snubs

The fact that all these players were left off shows us just how much talent is in the NBA right now.

While there is no exact science to an NBA All-Star candidacy, earning a spot among the league’s best players is always a tough challenge.

The 10 starters (five players from each conference) were selected based on weighted voting from fans, current NBA players and a media panel. The reserves (seven players from each conference) were chosen by head coaches around the league.

All-Star captains LeBron James and Kevin Durant will choose their teams from the player pool during the 2021 NBA All-Star Draft on March 4.

Ultimately, however, only 24 players earned the invitation to participate in the game on March 7. Given how many deserved consideration, there are still several others who made a serious case to receive the honor as well.

Below are some of the candidates who did not receive the nod but are still enjoying All-Star caliber campaigns. The fact that all these players were left off shows us just how much incredible talent exists in the NBA right now.
