Given all of his success in college basketball the past few years, it's easy to forget that, back in December of 2023, Jeremy Fears Jr. was shot in the leg back in his hometown of Joliet, Illinois. For those of us who have followed his career intently before and after the incident, it was obvious that he lost some of his leaping ability after the unfortunate situation occurred. However, it looks like those days are finally behind us and Fears has the full range of his athleticism back at his disposal.
In a recent clip, Fears showed off his bounce, throwing down a crazy 360-windmill dunk. This is the second clip like this we've seen, and it seems like Fears is excited about the return of his athleticism, "Tell the streets I'm backkkk."

Back in December of 2023, the career of Jeremy Fears Jr. took an unexpected and extremely unfortunate detour when he was shot in the leg while back visiting his hometown of Joliet, Illinois. While Fears played the last two years, and was a deserving All-American this past season, the explosive jumping ability we saw from him before the incident still hadn't fully returned. Well, it appears it's finally back, as a recent video Fears himself posted on social media of him flashing some serious athletic ability is making the rounds on social media.
In the video, Fears is seen throwing down a pretty nasty windmill dunk, something we just haven't seen from him post-gunshot wound. Fears posted the video with the caption 'We might got it back chat.'

An 18th Century windmill will be put on Historic England's at-risk register after years of neglect.
Ellis Mill in Lincoln, which was built in 1798, last operated fully in 2020, and has only opened to the public occasionally since then.
Historic England visited the mill in March and said it had "damp, damage to exterior brickwork and failing paintwork" on the wooden cap and sails.
Lincolnshire County Council, which owns the Grade I listed building, said it was considering options for its future and other windmills it owns.

Down three points with 13 seconds left, Bennett Stirtz quickly went up for the top-of-the-key outside jumper. Clank. It hit the front of the rim. With the ball ricocheting back for a second-chance look, Payton Sandfort's sizzling streak snapped as his outside jumper also fell short at the buzzer.
The Oklahoma City Thunder fell in a 106-103 Summer League loss to the Denver Nuggets. Even at this level, you're guaranteed a banger of a game between these two foes. Still winless in the July extravaganza, it was the most entertaining of the bunch.
The Thunder and Nuggets continued the tradition of most of their game scripts over the last year — all buckets, no defense, fast-paced. Now with a handful of games under his belt, Aday Mara started to play like the Michigan version of himself that helped him end up in the lottery range.
On the other end, it looks like the Nuggets unearthed a second-round gem. Trevon Brazile put up points in a flurry. He showed some flash as he threw down a windmill dunk in transition. He reached double-digit points in a blink of an eye. The Thunder were in a 31-22 deficit after the first quarter.
Eventually, the Thunder fell behind by as many as 13 points. It looked like Denver's fast pace was too much for OKC to keep up with. That said, it didn't really matter. Mara kept trying creative passes. He turned into an offensive hub. Finally, we saw what his ideal role would look like at the NBA level.

The Los Angeles Lakers opened NBA 2K26 Summer League in Las Vegas with a convincing 96-84 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday, powered by standout performances from their two most recent draft picks.
Second-year forward Adou Thiero and first-round rookie Cameron Carr stole the show as Los Angeles controlled the game for most of the night, leading for nearly 87% of the contest and building a lead as large as 20 points.
Thiero finished with a team-high 20 points on 8-of-14 shooting while adding four rebounds, four ****** ists, three steals and two blocks. His athleticism was on full display from start to finish.
The highlight came midway through the second quarter when Thiero exploded for a windmill dunk in transition that energized both the Lakers bench and the crowd inside Thomas & Mack Center. It was one of several highlight plays from the second-year pro, who also finished multiple alley-oops and powerful dunks throughout the night.
Carr looked every bit like a first-round selection in his Summer League debut. The rookie guard scored 18 points on an efficient 7-of-13 shooting while contributing two rebounds, one ****** ist, one steal and two blocks.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — Stand at the 13th tee at Shinnecock Hills, the uppermost point on one of America’s oldest golf clubs. Look out at the spread of the holes spilling down and away from this point, the windmill in the distance, the clouds strolling across the impossibly blue sky above.
It’s all gorgeous … as long as you don’t have to play the ******* thing.
Shinnecock is the most revered and fearsome test in major championship golf, a windswept brute capable of bringing anyone and everyone in the field to their knees. It’s one of America’s true legacy clubs, hosting the second U.S. Open in 1896 and joining with four other old-money institutions to form the United States Golf ******* ociation. This is as elite as golf gets, from every measure, and anybody who hoists the trophy here has earned it.
“If everything is going the way everyone wants it in terms of weather, setup, I think it's the best championship test in the country,” Rory McIlroy said earlier this week. “I think it tests all aspects of the game: driving, iron play, you need to have your wits about you on the greens.”

In the first year of his second term, President Donald Trump made a special effort to deny the impacts of climate change. In a September 2025 United Nations speech, he called carbon footprints a “hoax” and criticized climate policies, jabbing, “Windmills are pathetic.” The White House defunded renewable energy subsidies, dismissing them as a waste of government funding.
But the administration launched a probe this month into Brazil’s deforestation as part of Trump’s implementation of new tariffs, which entail investigations into countries’ trade practices.
Brazil is home to about 60% of the Amazon rain forest, which absorbs carbon dioxide that would otherwise enter the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. Legal deforestation—mostly as a result of cattle ranching and agricultural expansion—has cost the country about 3.7 million acres per year.
To be sure, Trump hasn’t changed his mind about climate change, though his sudden concern over deforestation is still ironic.
Instead, the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) announced a wave of new tariffs on dozens of major U.S. trading partners under Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act, alleging they failed to enforce bans on imports made with forced labor.

A Danish American Trump town struggles with his threats to take Greenland

In the tiny Iowa town of Elk Horn, Danish and American flags flap side by side above Main Street. A bakery sells kringles and other Danish pastries. Down the block, a working windmill towers over the prairie.
Kitchens here are stocked with family recipes for dishes most Americans can’t ******* ounce: frikadeller (Danish meatballs), æbleskiver (Danish pancake ******* ) and medisterpølse (Danish sausages).
This town of about 600 people and the nearby city of Kimballton are known as the “Danish Villages,” the largest r
