Folks, good news. After years of searching, we have finally found it—the pinnacle of Taj Gibson's NBA relevancy. In the first quarter of the Timberwolves' game against the powder-blue Kings last night, Gibson received the ball in the post, turned, dribbled, and hit a lay up over Nemanja Bjelica all while losing his shoe.

The 23-year-old's effortless power (he averaged 328.4 yards off the tee this fall) has led many to declare him the next big thing in golf.
Vegas sportsbooks have apparently been watching Champ's ascent to the top, too, and they're equally impressed. In an update to their 2019 Masters odds, Jeff Sherman, one of the most respected golf oddsmakers in Vegas, has put Champ on the short list of Masters favorites, listing him in the top 20 of players with listed odds for the Masters—despite an important fact.
