data-mm-id=”_g01dvmrgr”>NBA players love wine. We've heard this before, but now that they are all living in a bubble and we're finding out what is really important to them we're getting a serious look at the league's wine obsession. There have been plenty of social media posts, but today ESPN put together a lengthy story about wine in the bubble and CJ McCollum is a standout:”CJ McCollum’s hotel room constitutes a wine fridge of sorts. He keeps the temperature around 60 degrees when he’s inside it and in the mid-to-high 50s when he’s not, all in an effort to protect the 84 bottles that he keeps in boxes, out of the light.”McCollum must have a stack of sweatshirts like Pat Beverley's stack of t-shirts. This is the kind of thing that you can only get away with if your significant other didn't come to the bubble. If the Blazers make the playoffs and upset the Lakers and start to make a deep run and McCollum's fiancée joins him, he's going to have to give up control of that thermostat.

Glad we get to spend another birthday together but this time with you as a Doctor and forever my partner in life @elisespo ? ❤️ A post shared by CJMcCollum (@3jmccollum) on Jul 5, 2020 at 3:22pm PDTSecond, you know what kind of strain McCollum is putting on the air conditioning to keep a room in the 50's in Orlando in August? When the NBA finished up their stay and they see how much Disney charges them for electric, Adam Silver is going to react like Kevin McCallister's dad seeing the room service bill at the Plaza.

Of course, as the PlayStation Blog notes, it won’t be easy – players must solve a riddle first.

Karim Benzema will do everything he can to be 100 per cent fit for the World Cup after making France s squad for the tournament amid an injury-hit season, says Didier Deschamps.
Benzema won his first Ballon d Or after leading Real Madrid to glory in LaLiga and the Champions League by scoring 44 goals last term, but has endured a frustrating 2022-23 campaign to date.
The striker has started just 11 games in all competitions this season, hitting the net six times, and Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti said the 34-year-old was struggling on Sunday after he suffered from muscular fatigue in his left quadriceps.
However, Benzema will join the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann and Olivier Giroud among France s attacking options in Qatar, and Deschamps hopes he will …

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer claims Donny van de Beek will soon reap his rewards at Manchester United.
Van de Beek joined from Ajax for a reported £40million last season, but chances have been sparse for the 24-year-old at Old Trafford.
The midfielder has started just four games for United in the Premier League, his last coming against Wolves in May, while appearing just 21 times in the top-flight for his 528 minutes.
United supporters greeted Van de Beek s introduction off the bench against Manchester City two weeks ago with rapturous applause, highlighting the faith they have in the Netherlands international.
Solskjaer joined in with the praise for Van de Beek as the Norwegian pinpointed his work ethic ahead of Saturday s clash with Watford.

Inter Milan go in search of the first of successive wins they need to wrap up the Serie A title on Sunday.
Cagliari are the visitors to San Siro and victory will mean Simone Inzaghi’s men can wrap up their first Scudetto in three years with a three-point return against their city rivals AC Milan in their following match on April 22.
Inter maintained their 14-point advantage over second-placed Milan on Monday, with Davide Frattesi’s late winner completing a come-from-behind victory at an Udinese side who had won just once at home all season.

Leicester City signing Ahmed Musa believes he is similar to team-mate Jamie Vardy with his speed and work ethic.
The Nigeria international joined the Premier League champions from CSKA Moscow in a deal reportedly worth a club-record £16.6million.
Musa scored 13 league goals in Russia last season and compared his style to that of Vardy, the 2015-16 player of the season after netting 24 times.
I was a goalie between 10 and 12, but changing was the best decision of my life because I would never have been good enough to become a professional goalkeeper, he said.
It was difficult at first but then you get used to the fact you are not very big. A lot of people used to tell me, Musa, you are too small to be a striker.
But I said: It doesn t matter w…
Argentina, Brazil and hosts Chile are viewed as the leading contenders to win the Copa America. Here we take a look at the three groups of four nations for the tournament.
Group A: Chile, Mexico, Ecuador and Bolivia
Chile made their presence felt with an impressive showing in the FIFA World Cup last year before losing on penalties to Brazil in the last 16. They will have to cope with the expectation of being host nation in the Copa, but the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal are capable of inspiring Jorge Sampaoli s well-drilled side.
Mexico lost at the same stage in Brazil when late goals from Wesley Sneijder and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar consigned them to a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat. Ecuador and Bolivia will have their work cut out in order to qualify for…
Jurgen Klopp believes Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is an inspiration to the football world as the fabled coach prepares to make his Premier League bow.
Former Argentina, Chile and Athletic Bilbao boss Bielsa has transformed Leeds fortunes since arriving at Elland Road in 2018, leading them to the Championship title last season after falling short in the 2018-19 play-offs.
His famed high-pressing style has earned admirers across the globe and Klopp certainly counts himself among them ahead of Leeds trip to Anfield on the opening Saturday of the new season.
I admire him, but I was never close enough to him to really follow up, he said.
I ve watched his teams playing and that s pretty exceptional. The rest I got from newspapers and the rest.
