#Chavano “Buddy” Hield reached another career milestone, another addition to his résumé as one of the top three-point shooters in the NBA.
#In Monday night’s 112-104 win over the Golden State Warriors, Hield became the second fastest player in NBA to make 1,500 career three-point field goals.
#Hield reached the mark in 492 games, second only to the Warriors’ Stephen Curry who holds the record for achieving the feat in 477 games.
#“I’ve just got to keep going man. My teammates got my back, my teammates have supported me each way in helping me get to that mark,” Hield said. “I’ve just got to keep grinding, stay humble and put God first.”
#Hield finished the game with 17 points, nine rebounds and five assists in the win. He shot 4-13 from three-point range as the Pacers brought an end to a three-game losing streak.
#He also has the most three-point field goals made since the 2018-19 season. His 1,176 makes over that timespan ranks ahead of Curry, James Harden (970), Damian Lillard (916), Donovan Mitchell (856), Jayson Tatum (804) and Luka Doncic (793).
#It was just the latest career three-point milestone for the sharpshooting Grand Bahama native during his NBA tenure with three teams.
#Last season, he moved into 50th place in career three-point field goals made when he surpassed 1,397 through his six-year career. Hield surpassed former Three Point contest champion Brent Barry and at the conclusion of the 2021-22 campaign.
#Over the course of the season, he ranked fourth last season in both three-point makes (262) and attempted (716).
#He played in 385 of 388 possible games during his time with the Sacramento Kings.
#Hield left as the franchise’s all-time leader in three-point field goals made.
#Also on his résumé, Hield made more three-point field goals than any other player through the first 400 games of their NBA career.
#He set the mark of 1,209 three pointers in his 400th on November 12, 2021. Hield also became the fastest player to make 1,000 career three-pointers in NBA history. He set the mark in just 350 games to reach the milestone faster than Curry, who held the previous record of 369 games.
#In his first full season as a member of the Pacers, he is averaging 16.9 points and a career high 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. He is also shooting 41 percent from the field, 437 percent from three-point range and 84 percent from the free throw line.
#Last month, the Indiana Pacers guard signed a multi-year shoe deal extension with the sneaker and athletic apparel giant, Nike. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Criteria for Legends Walk of Fame under scrutiny
As of Wednesday, December 7, 2022
#By RENALDO DORSETT
#Tribune Sports Reporter
#rdorsett@tribunemedia.net
#THE criteria and selection process for the National Walk of Fame has recently come under scrutiny following the latest additions to the list of honourees.
#One of the most vocal public critics of the selection process has been Olympic silver medallist Andretti Bain.
#Bain took to social media to voice his concern over a series of perceived slights, the latest of which has been the omission from the Walk of Fame. He cited the act as a lack of recognition to his relay teammates and several members of the track and field community.
#“First there was the airport plaque snub for the 2005, 2007, 2008, 2012 and 2016 men’s 4x400m relay teams World Championships and Olympic Games medallists… (still don’t know why our teams have yet to be recognised at the airport like those before and after us) BUT now I think this is beyond an oversight and just blatantly unacceptable as it discredits the accomplishments of myself and others also deserving of such honours,”
#Bain said: “I truly have to question if in fact due diligence was used, ensuring that all persons deserving were honoured. Reviewing the selections of the other federations, persons were honoured for simply becoming professionals in their sport. Surprisingly, track and field seems to have followed suit! If this in fact was the case, then all of our medallists from all major competitions are deserving of recognition.
#“However, in track and field, our golden standard of success is winning an Olympic or World Championship medal.
#“Therefore, I have to question how is it that not just myself but other Olympics and Worlds medallists were omitted from the list of legends.
#“There’s no grey lines with this. You’re either a medallist at the highest level or you’re not.”
#At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Bain teamed with Michael Mathieu, Andrae Williams, Chris Brown, Avard Moncur and Ramon Miller to win in 2:58.03 seconds.
#His list of accolades also includes NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships, a Commonwealth Games silver medal and a Pan Am Games gold medal.
#He was recently named an assistant coach on the staff of his alma mater, Oral Roberts University. Bain further cited the cases of several athletes including 400m world champion and multiple relay medallist Avard Moncur, Derrick Atkins, Troy Kemp, Donald Thomas, Trevor Barry, Jeffrey Gibson, Sheniqua Ferguson, Christine Amertil and fellow members of the men’s 4x400m relay teams over the years.
#“Have we gotten to a point where we no longer appreciate and recognise all of our legends? Are we blinded by selective memory, popularity and biases? A country’s greatest asset are its people. A sport’s greatest asset are its athletes. How can we truly inspire those to come when we forget and disregard those who paved the way!” Bain added.
#“When are we as an Athletic Federation of Elected Officials, Coaches and Athletes going to speak up and stand for the greater good of all our athletes and not just a few and especially not just our personal gain?
#“I call on the BAAA and Ministry of Sports to review the selection criteria, put together a list of all of our Olympics and World Championships medallists so that we may also honour all those most deserving of national recognition at the airport and at the Legends Walk.”
#The Legends Walk of Fame features 69 portraits of past and present Bahamian sporting superstars by celebrity artist Jamaal Rolle outside the Thomas A Robinson National Stadium.
#Its relaunch was celebrated last week with the additions of 400m Olympic champions Shanaue Miller-Uibo, Steven Gardiner and Anthonique Strachan. The relaunch was also presented on the same day the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture officially launched the return of the CARIFTA Games, whihc will also mark the 50th Independence celebrations here at the stadium scheduled for April 7-10, 2023.
#Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture Mario Bowleg responded to the growing public discourse over the selection process.
#“There are some persons who have not made the Hall of Fame or Legends Walk as yet. It does not mean that they will not get there. Some persons are of the view that others should not be there before them but there is no criteria on who should go there first.
#“Most persons there are still active in their sporting disciplines and so again, some may say that they were better than the other and they should have gone on the walk first but I think persons need to focus more on trying to make the Hall of Fame,” he said. “There are some athletes who have performed very well in their disciplines and have not made the walk as yet but I think the decision was made by the LOC and not the Ministry to try and showcase those three athletes, who in my opinion the ministry supports greatly, who were recently placed on the Legends Walk because of their success in track and field.
#“Knowing that we are about to host the 50th anniversary of CARIFTA, was the reason we chose to showcase them with two of them being Sealy award winners – Anthonique Strachan and Shaunae Miller-Uibo.”
#Strachan was a two-time winner of the Austin Sealy award, given to the most outstanding performer at the CARIFTA Track and Field Championships.
#Bowleg added that in time, all deserving honourees will receive their due recognition.
#“I don’t think it’s fair to say it is anything based on who performed better. All of these athletes are world class and Olympic champions who represented the country well and it’s just a matter of time before the rest will be able to get on the Walk and make the Hall of Fame,” he said.
#“We haven’t forgotten anyone, I know it’s frustrating to some people but I believe each athlete within their own right are deserving of all the awards and accolades awarded by the previous and existing government and this one. We cannot put everyone there at once, but we continue to hope patience will come and those who are deserving will go there.”

NCAA: Bastian shy of double double, Hunter scores nine
As of Wednesday, December 7, 2022

#rdorsett@tribunemedia.net
#SEVERAL Bahamian players had season best performances with their respective teams in NCAA Division I basketball.
#The Cal State Fullerton Titans continue to struggle through a three-game losing streak but Lathaniel Bastian posted in a near double double in his latest appearance.
#He finished with eight points on 4-5 shooting from the field and grabbed eight rebounds in the Titans’ 69-62 loss to Seatlle University.
#His layup with 2:38 to go again brought Fullerton within three (60-57) but that was as close as the Titans would get in the second half.
#The Titans will play their fourth straight game on the road tomorrow night against USC.
#In his first year with the programme, the sophomore transfer is averaging 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in just over 11 minutes per game.
#In the Mid American Conference, Sammy Hunter had his second consecutive nine-point game for the Akron Zips.
#Hunter finished with nine points and four rebounds in Sunday night’s 80-33 win over Muskingham. In their previous outing, he also finished with nine points and six rebounds in a 68-57 loss to Marshall.
#Last month, he scored a season high 13 points and made three three-point field goals in a 73-58 loss to LSU at the Cayman Islands Classic.
#In the Atlantic Sun Conference, Franco Miller Jr has played sparingly for the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles thus far this season.
#He finished with seven points and five rebounds – both season highs – in the Eagles’ 74-65 win over the FIU Panthers on Sunday night.

The Bahamas beats Jamaica
The Bahamas beats JamaicaTeam claims the BCA T20 Nations League title to end the season

The Bahamas struggled offensively but their defense helped them take care of Jamaica to win the Bahamas Cricket Association’s (BCA) TwentyTwenty (T20) Nations League championship match this past Sunday at Haynes Oval. The Bahamas won by 19 runs after they finished with 139 runs all out. Jamaica only managed to score 120 runs all out.
It marked the end of the 2022 BCA cricket season – the T20 League wrapped up last month.
After an uncharacteristic opening, batting for The Bahamas with Marc Taylor scoring just six runs, they needed some offensive firepower. That firepower came from the third batsman, Turan Brown, who joined Evertte Haven at the crease. Brown was able to come in and knock three sixes and two fours to score 30 runs before Rodney Codney got him out with The Bahamas on 55 runs in the sixth over for the loss of two wickets.
The Bahamas went from 55 runs for the loss of two wickets to 57 runs for the loss of five wickets. Two key wickets were lost with Greg Taylor II and Rudy Fox going out without getting on the scoreboard. Jonathan Barry and Antonio Harris stabilized The Bahamas as they managed to get a 51-run partnership. They took the runs total to 108 as Barry had a knock of 20 runs before Mike Smith sent him back to the pavilion. Barry had two fours and several singles.
Jamaica never got Harris out as he had 45 runs in the innings before The Bahamas was all out with four balls to spare. Harris had five sixes in his innings to go with 15 singles, as The Bahamas finished with 139 runs, which was far below their semifinal final score of 277 runs in 17 overs.
The Jamaican side had great bowling spells from Smith and Codner who took three wickets each. Mitchell had two wickets of his own. The 140-run target was feasible as they needed seven runs per over.
It was good start for Jamaica as they had 35 runs after the first five overs with Gregory Irving and Kevorn Hinds opening the batting for them. Marc Taylor’s delivery in the sixth over broke up that partnership as his brother Greg Taylor caught Irving’s shot. Irving was out for eight runs and Jamaica had 36 runs for the loss of one wicket.
Hinds and incoming batsman Kevorn McInnis put up a partnership of 24 runs in four overs. Hinds was out on 31 runs in the 10th over on Greg Taylor’s delivery with the Jamaicans on 60 runs for the fall of two wickets. Lance Liston came in and scored 20 runs to help carry the team after McInnis got out on 10 runs – all singles. Andrew Nash replaced Liston and the two put up a partnership of 27 runs in two overs before Nash was out on four runs to slow down the Jamaican side. They had 92 runs for the loss of four wickets after 14 overs.
Liston gave the Jamaica side some breathing room. Keith Burrows got the ball to bowl the 15th over. On the first ball he bowled, he caught and bowled Liston to shut the door on Jamaica who were now at 92 runs for five wickets. He finished with 20 runs. There was no response from the tail end batsmen as The Bahamas bowled Jamaica out for 120 runs with eight balls to spare.
Barry took care of the last three batsmen to come away with three total wickets in the game. Burrows and Greg Taylor snagged two wickets each.

Bahamian equestrian rider Anna Camille “Millie” Vlasov and her Belgian Warmblood gelding Gulliver du Saint-Chene had a great ending to their season as they put on a show, winning the 1.40m Grand Prix competition on the Mediterranean Equestrian Tour in Olivia, Spain, on Sunday.
Vlasov was happy to get the victory in her final event for the year.
“It was such a huge and emotional victory for me, it meant so much for me and it really made me realize that hard work, mental and physical dedication pays off,” Vlasov said.
Vlasov and Gulliver were one of two pairs to ride double clear rounds over the challenging course that was designed by French designer Eddy Castillon. The other riders had at least four penalties. The Bahamian and her horse finished the first round in 74.23 seconds to put them atop the leaderboard after the first round. A fast and careful effort in the jump-off kept them there, as Vlasov went clear in 39.40 seconds to hold off the only other double clear combination – Great Britain’s Joanne Whitaker aboard Meriarta – beating them by 0.98 seconds. Carlos Borho Gifon and Esprit de L’Esprit Z of Spain were third.
The 23-year-old said she was a bit low a few months ago due to personal issues and this win gives her the motivation that she needs to become more prepared for the Central America and Caribbean (CAC) Games next year. She spoke about the partnership that she has with Gulliver – a partnership that stems back to May 2020.
“Gulliver and I have learned and grown so much together,” Vlasov said. “It’s takes time to build a proper relationship with a horse, lots of hours spent getting to know them and for them to trust you and you them. Unfortunately, it also takes a lot of mistakes to grow as a ‘couple’, but that’s how you improve. This horse is a once-in-a-lifetime horse. He is so special and talented. I am truly honored to be able to ride such an incredibly talented animal. He inspires me every day, even though sometimes he makes me crazy but I love his character and his need to work.”
Looking at 2023, with the CAC Games on her mind, she is aiming to compete at higher levels of competition in Europe.
“For next year, I am really concentrating on doing higher levels in certain competitions which I feel most comfortable in and where my horses jump the best to really push myself and Gulliver mentally and physically to get even better results,” Vlasov said.
During the Mediterranean Equestrian Tour on Sunday, Vlasov competed against 24 competitors from countries such as France, Italy, Sweden, Qatar, Spain, Great Britain, the United States and Chile.
