Welcome to the Weekend Digest, which will carry us through Sunday. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, pull up to the Mamba Invitational; come for the Kobe art, stay for the hoops. For those of you not in Southern Cali, can we interest you in this summer sports comedy binge-watch guide? We’re still looking for who to blame for MLB’s ’26 Problems (spoiler alert: it’s not the Dodgers). As always, OffBall is here to ensure you optimize your weekend screen time.
On to the links.
