BAHAMAS BEATEN BY DOMINICAN REPUBLIC IN SEMIFINAL

Qualifier That will set up the final today when the Dominican Republic and Cuba will square off, while the Bahamas will take on Barbados for third place. The tournament is serving as a qualifier for the Centro Basket, scheduled for August 20-24 in Puerto Rico.

Team officials were unavailable for comments up to presstime.

But like all of their previous game, Team Bahamas got off to a slow start. It wasn’t until six minutes and 44 seconds into the first quarter that Britenique Harrison scored a jumper to cut Team Bahamas deficit to 4-2 and at 4:24, Brea Forbes got a steal and a pass to Shalonda Neely for a jumper to tie the score at 4-4.

Team Bahamas got its first lead, 7-6, at 1:29 on Pamela Bethel’s threepointer after Tracy Lewis came up with the steal and Valerie Nesbitt made the pass.

The Dominican Republic, however, went on a 9-0 spurt to snatch a 15-7 margin at the end of the period.

To start the second quarter, Team Bahamas went on a 7-3 run for a 18-14 deficit, highlighted by a three-pointer and a jumper from Nesbitt. But once again, the Dominican Republic pulled away as they surged to a 26-15 lead at the half.

As they came out of the locker room, the Dominican Republic started to turn up the heat, opening a comfortable 39-23 advantage in the first five SEE PAGE TWO

By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net THE Bahamas women’s national team suffered a 56-41 loss to the unbeaten Dominican Republic in the semifinal of the FIBA Caribbean Women’s Cup Championships on Wednesday night at the Anthony Nesty Sporthal in Paramaribo, Suriname.

Point guard Valerie Nesbitt, the team’s leading scorer in the tournament, led the attack with 18 points in 37 minutes and 13 seconds.

She also had three rebounds and three steals with an assist. Shalonda Neely, a forward, was the only other player in double figures with 12 points. In 27:16 minutes she added 17 rebounds with two assists.

Britenique Harrison, whom head coach Wayde Watson was hoping to rely on in the middle, was the next best scorer with four points and seven rebounds. Pamela Bethel had three points and both Arlia Greene and Ashley Moss chipped in with two.

The Dominican Republic had just two players in double figures as Yohanna Morton and Andreina Paniagua scored 12 apiece.

Team Bahamas advanced out of Group A with a 1-1 win-loss record as the number two team behind Cuba at 2-0. The Dominican Republic won Group B with a 3-0 record ahead of Barbados at 2-1. While the Dominican Republic won over the Bahamas, Cuba routed Barbados 106-41.

MANHATTAN, New York - With his life set to change in a matter of hours on NBA Draft night, Deandre Ayton is very cognizant of his place in Bahamian history.

Ayton, projected to be the top overall pick in tonight’s NBA Draft at the Barclay’s Center, took centre stage at media availability and is expected to become the first Bahamian player taken with the top overall pick in the NBA draft since Mychal Thompson in 1978.

“That’s a huge honour. That’s a big opportunity,” Ayton said, “It would be a big blessing. Just having that chip on your shoulder and carrying it just reminding you of how far you’ve come. It’s just a huge opportunity to show the world that we’re coming. Bahamian people are coming. We’re not just only a country of track and field athletes. We can also play basketball.”

Following his pre-draft workout with the Phoenix Suns, Ayton was confident that he had shown the franchise enough to solidify his position as the top overall pick.

He finished his school years at Hillcrest Prep in Phoenix and went on to attend the University of Arizona for a single season. The opportunity to begin his professional career in the state led many pundits to believe the Suns will take advantage and select Ayton.

During his lone season at Arizona, he averaged 20.1 points and 11.6 rebounds per game while shooting 61.6 percent from the field, and was “Karl Malone Power Forward” of the year and Associated Press First Team All-American.

He was also the First Team All-American from the NABC, USBWA and Sporting News, Pac-12 Conference Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year and Most Outstanding Player of the conference tournament in the same season.

Despite the accolades, Ayton noted that he has made improvements to his game since the NCAA season came to an end.

“Most definitely more of a three-ball,” he said, “The NBA three-ball is way farther than the college threeball. I’ve really put on some range and put on some muscle. When I’m fatigued in games, I really can get my shot off in a perfect arc.”

THE TRIBUNE

‘TUM TUM’ IS A LEADER OFF THE COURT FOR SPARTAN PLAYERS

By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net

THE attention at the NBA draft is focused on this year’s top prospects, but several players from the Michigan State Spartans said they continue to draw inspiration and mentorship from Lourawls “Tum Tum” Nairn.

Nairn’s former Spartan teammates Miles Bridges and Jaren Jackson Jr said their former team captain was still very involved in the process.

Both Bridges and Jackson are expected to be lottery picks in tonight’s NBA draft and said that Nairn has continued to be their leader off the court.

“Tum Tum, he’s great, just keeping me level headed, he’s always helped me out with everything. I don’t think I’ll ever meet another individual like Tum for sure.”

Jackson added: “He helps us through anything. I reach out to Tum for anything I need. He’s a great person, what he’s doing right now is going to be crazy, he’s done with school right now so he can do whatever he wants and I’m sure it will be amazing. He’s the type of person you can depend on, you hit him up, he’ll hit you right back.”

Their final season as Spartans ended prematurely with an upset loss in the NCAA Tournament’s round of 32 – a two point loss to Syracuse.

Nairn, who was a member of the 2015 Final Four team as a freshman, offered words of insight in the locker room following the loss to place the game in perspective.

Spartans head coach Tom Izzo has always heralded Nairn’s leadership abilities as something that could not be simply measured on a stat sheet.

He awarded Nairn the title of team captain for three consecutive years and often called him an extension of the coaches on the floor.

Nairn ended his Spartan career with averages of 1.7 points and 2.9 assists per game with 65 career starts.

He was awarded the Stephen G Scofes Inspirational Player Award this past offseason for the third straight year when the Spartans hosted its annual Men’s Basketball Awards Banquet for the 2016-17 season.

Thursday during the Draft, Skills Challenge Finalists and youth from the Brownsville Basketball League will play a special role, congratulating and handing each draftee their team’s cap once they are selected and then walk across the Barclays Center stage.

Draft night is also an opportunity for the draftees to make fashion statements with their wardrobe and Ayton promised he had something special planned for the Bahamian flag.

“Let’s just keep that a secret for now, but we’ll see,” he said, “I’m just letting everyone know its 242 to the world, basketball in the Bahamas is evolving.”

MYCHAL THOMPSON REFLECTS ON BEING NUMBER ONE PICK

By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net

MYCHAL “Sweet Bells’ Thompson clearly remembers the day he was selected as the first foreign-born player with the number one pick in the National Basketball Association’s 1978 draft by the Portland Trail Blazers. Forty years later, he is eagerly waiting to see if another Bahamian, Deandre Ayton, will become the second when the NBA draft is held tonight in Brooklyn, New York.

Ayton, slightly taller than the 6’10” Thompson at 7’1” and 250 pounds, is projected to be selected by the Phoenix Suns. It’s been said that it’s a “no brainer” that he will go first when the draft will be carried live on ESPN beginning at 7pm.

Significance “It was nothing compared to how it is now,” said Thompson in an interview with The Tribune on the difference between then and now. “With the attention on the draft and the popularity of it and the significance of it and the history of it, it’s so promoted with all of the lights in a room filled with all the attention that the young guys get now, it’s totally different.

“I was the first Bahamian drafted, but the way I was drafted was so special. The attention was way less than it is now, but that’s fine.

I was drafted and that is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life.”

No doubt tonight will change the life of Ayton, who has already inked his name on a lucrative deal with the shoe company Puma.

“He’s going to have the whole Bahamas watching him,” said Thompson of the draft today. “When I got drafted, nobody got to see it. It was over a phone call in the office of the Commissioner where I took a polaroid photo and that was

“He’s going to have the whole Bahamas watching him.

When I got drafted, nobody got to see it.

It was over a phone call in the office of the Commissioner where I took a polaroid photo and that was it. The whole world will be watching Deandre.”

Mychal ‘Sweet Bells’ Thompson on Deandre Ayton

it. The whole world will be watching Deandre.

“But it will be good for the Bahamas because it will give us a lot of worldwide publicity and he and his family are going to be in the spotlight.

“So it’s so much better now for the Bahamas and Deandre for the draft to happen this way than it did when I was drafted.”

Since retiring after spending 13 years in the NBA, including his last five with the Los Angeles Lakers as they won backto-back titles in 1986 and 1987, Thompson, now a color commentator for the Lakers team, said it would be inconceivable that the Suns don’t take Ayton with the first pick tonight.

“He’s definitely the number one player in the draft and he will be the number one pick in the draft,” Thompson proclaimed. “Phoenix is going to get a great young player to build their future around with shooting guard Devin Booker. He should be very proud of himself, proud of the country and proud of his family for getting him to this stage.

“I know he can’t sleep just waiting for his chance to hear his name called

and go up and shake the hand of the NBA Commissioner. I know I am excited for him and I will definitely be watching from my couch in LA just like every other Bahamian who can’t make it to New York.”

Traded When he played, Thompson was the only Bahamian in the NBA. When selected, Ayton will get a chance to be one of two Bahamians currently playing in the league along with Grand Bahamian Chavano ‘Buddy’ Hield, who was taken with the sixth pick in the first round of the 2016 draft by New Orleans Pelicans before he was traded to the Sacramento Kings on February 20, 2017. If Phoenix doesn’t take Ayton, he could go to the Kings, who have the second pick.

“The Bahamas should be very proud of these two young men because they are continuing a line of players that played in the league from the Bahamas.

Hopefully, the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture and Ministry of Education will use these

two young men to help promote the Bahamas,” Thompson pointed out.

“They should be ambassadors and spokesmen for the Bahamas because this is special to have two of playing in the league at the same time.

“This duo should be used to help promote the Bahamas around the world because they are two special young men. Both of them will be great inspirations and examples for Bahamian youth to see how they can go if they put their mind to it and work hard to achieve their successes.

Bahamians can achieve anything that they put their minds too.”

On a personal note, Thompson was in Cleveland two weeks ago to celebrate as he watched his youngest son, Klay Thompson, help the Golden State Warriors win their third NBA title in a four-game sweep over the Cavaliers, adding to the crowns they cinched in 2015 and 2017.

“I was so excited, so proud and so happy for him,” said Thompson of Klay. “I think they are only halfway through. I think they can win at least three more. If they stay healthy and stay hungry, I don’t think any team will be able to touch them. So I was

very proud and very happy with their accomplishments.

But like I told him, they are only halfway through. They could go for three more championships.”

While he would like to see his son move to LA to play with the Lakers, as some rumours suggest, the elder Thompson said anything is possible.

“But I think the Warriors will keep that together and intact for another five years,” he projected. “I would be surprised if they break that team up.”

The Thompsons are hoping to return to the Bahamas next month when they participate again in the Jeff Rodgers Summer Basketball Camp at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium.

The elder Thompson said they are looking at joining Houston Rockets’ guard Eric Gordon and there is a possibility by Klay’s teammate, forward Draymond Green, could be a part of their delegation.

And once the 2018/19 season gets underway in October, Thompson said he can’t wait to go to Phoenix to watch Ayton play.

Excited “I’m excited about that,” said the 63-year-old Thompson of the 19-yearold Ayton. “He brings a lot of skills. He reminds me of a young David Robinson the way he plays. He’s athletic, he can shoot, he can run the floor, he can rebound and he can clog up the middle defensively. He’s a future All-Star. He’s going to be exciting to watch.

“Let’s all get ready to celebrate because Deandre Ayton will go down as the second Bahamian to be selected with the first round pick tonight. He’s one of those players that only come around so often. He’s the type of player that you don’t trade away. Phoenix is also nice and hot, so he will feel like he’s right at home in the Bahamas in their warm weather.”

AYTON AIMS TO GIVE BACK WITH NEW PUMA DEAL

By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net

MANHATTAN, New York – With a new Puma endorsement deal, Deandre Ayton hopes that the new faces of the country’s basketball division can serve the needs of young Bahamians.

“Puma is a big deal on all these Caribbean islands, especially in their track and field branding, so being a part of that really helps,” Ayton said at his pre-draft media availability yesterday, “Because, from a basketball standpoint, we can collaborate with the track and field segment to really create something big,” The faces of Puma basketball moving forward – Ayton, Marvin Bagley III, Zhaire Smith and Michael Porter were all signed by the company this week just days ahead of Thursday’s NBA Draft at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Camps “[Basketball camps] would be a huge step. That would be me giving back. I was the kid in basketball camps wanting to see the new gear that comes out or the gear that the camps give and I’m going to be giving them the best,” Ayton told Bleacher Report, “I’m going to be giving them stuff I’m interested in and will be able to hear from the kids’ perspectives about what they want.”

The players represent Puma’s first basketball signees in 20 years – since they signed Vince Carter in 1998.

In Athletics, PUMA sponsors the Athletic Associations of the Bahamas, Jamaica, Cuba, and Trinidad and Tobago, Dominican, Barbados, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

Puma also sponsors the Olympic Associations of Jamaica, Bahamas, Cuba, Grenada and Trinidad and Tobago.

Ayton and Bagley were previously connected at the high school level when they both committed to attended Hillcrest Hoops Academy in Phoenix, Arizona in 2015.

At the time, Ayton was the topranked player in the ESPN 60 for the class of 2017, and Bagley was the top-ranked player in the class of 2018. Pundits expected them to make

The duo has reunited at the pro level with Puma securing two of the top power forwards in the current draft class.

“I’ve known Deandre for a while.

We built a relationship through playing with each other and it’s been going on ever since then,” Bagley said, “He’s a cool dude, I love him like a brother, it’s like family. Whenever I see his mom or his little sister it always feels like family.”

Puma also announced rap mogul Jay-Z as the Creative Director for its basketball division.

“I just wanted something different,” Smith said, “To be in the conversation with those guys. We have a chance to create something special.””

RONALDO SCORES IN PORTUGAL’S 1-0 WIN, MOROCCO ELIMINATED

By GRAHAM DUNBAR, AP Sports Writer MOSCOW (AP) — Off the top of his head, Cristiano Ronaldo scored yet another goal, set a European record and eliminated Morocco from the World Cup. The Portugal forward headed in a fourth-minute cross from the right to give Portugal a 1-0 victory on Wednesday. It was his 85th goal for his country, the most for any European player in almost 150 years of international soccer.

“It was beautiful for me,” Ronaldo said after being voted the man of the match for the second straight game.

Ronaldo celebrated his goal by pointing at his chest during a trademark run and soaring leap toward the corner flag at the Luzhniki Stadium.

Goal The goal moved the 33-year-old Ronaldo ahead of Ferenc Puskas, another Real Madrid great who scored his last goal for Hungary in 1956. He is alone in second place worldwide behind Ali Daei’s 109 goals for Iran.

“He has a great coach,” Portugal coach Fernando Santos said through a translator, laughing when asked about Ronaldo. “He’s like a port wine. He knows how to refine his capacity and age at his best.”

Ronaldo’s four goals top the individual scoring chart at this year’s World Cup. Buoyed by his hat trick in a 3-3 draw against Spain on Friday, including a spectacular free kick late in the game, Ronaldo scored against Morocco with his first meaningful touch of the match.

He was too strong for marker Manuel Da Costa and found space in the goalmouth to meet Joao

Moutinho’s cross following a short corner.

Ronaldo had two more free kick chances, each from less than 20 yards.

But both were blocked by a solid wall of defenders as the Portuguese ground out a result from an often poor display, much like they did two years ago on their run to the European Championship title.

Fouls There were 42 fouls in the match, and only two Portuguese shots on target.

Most of the best play came from Morocco, but the North Africans now have no chance of advancing from the group stage after a second straight 1-0 loss.

Morocco had enough scoring chances, nearly all from set pieces, and three came in a five-minute spell early in the second half.

Younes Belhanda was twice denied by goalkeeper Rui Patricio’s diving saves, and defender Mehdi Benatia scooped a shot over the bar.

In stoppage time, Benatia lifted another shot too high with an even clearer chance.

“Those who know how to be in the penalty box and know how to make plays are the ones who make all the difference,” Morocco coach Herve Renard said.

Benatia, a rugged defender who plays for Juventus, led the effort to stop Ronaldo. His hard tackles from behind, however, earned him a yellow card.

There was a separate clash in the penalty area between Morocco winger Noureddine Amrabat and Portugal left back Raphael Guerreiro.

Guerreiro raised his shirt to show the referee a set of scratches across the right side of his stomach, and Renard was lectured

by American referee Mark Geiger for demanding a video review of the incident.

COSTA SCORES AGAIN, SPAIN BEAT IRAN 1-0 AT WORLD CUP

By SAMUEL PETREQUIN, AP Sports Writer

KAZAN, Russia (AP) — Patience is a virtue, and Spain showed plenty of it to overcome a tough challenge from Iran at the World Cup. During a frustrating evening at the Kazan Arena when the 2010 champions struggled to break through the stubborn Iranian defence, Diego Costa scored with a deflection for a 1-0 win on Wednesday.

Costa scored in the 54th minute after being set up

by Andres Iniesta. The powerful striker turned in the area and took a shot that deflected off Ramin Rezeian before bouncing back onto Costa’s knee and into the net.

It was far from a beautiful win, but the goal was enough to make Spain coach Fernando Hierro smile.

“We have four points,” Hierro said. “We were happier after the match against Portugal, but we only had one point.”

Spain and Portugal lead Group B with four points each following their 3-3 draw and 1-0 victories.

Iran have three points, but Morocco have been eliminated.

Costa, who scored twice against Portugal, has three goals at this year’s World Cup, trailing Cristiano

GROUP DYNAMICS First place in the group could be decided by goal difference.

Spain will face Morocco in their final match on Monday in Kaliningrad, while Portugal play Iran in Saransk on the same day.

But with three points, Iran still have a chance to qualify for the knockout stage.

The Iranians will need to beat Portugal to advance.

KEYS TO SUCCESS It’s not just slick play within the Spain team.

With a superb display of collective grit, the Spanish showed they are as united as ever despite the turmoil created by the firing of coach Julen Lopetegui on the eve of the tournament.

Spain are now unbeaten in 22 matches, with 15 of those wins. The team’s last loss

Ronaldo by one. He also has nine goals in his last nine starts for Spain.

Hierro’s players were almost caught against the run of the play when Karim Ansarifard unleashed a powerful strike that ended up in the side-netting following a long thrown in.

Iran continued to push hard and managed to challenge with some fast counterattacks.

Spain were lucky not to concede toward the end as Mehdi Taremi connected with a cross from Ansarifard, but his header from close range went over the crossbar.
