The "Elite": Wednesday, May 5, 2021
Recorded May 5, 2021. The picture was taken on May 30, 2021, so the stats and highlights are consistent with this particular date in professional sports. This is one of my early daily episodes of 2021 for The "Elite" that I made where I break down daily highlights from the previous day, the 20th Tuesday since the start of 2020/21 NBA action, the fifth Tuesday since the start of the 2021 MLB season, and the second Tuesday of the 2021 UCL Semifinal Round. I also previewed the elite matchups and events for today, the 20th Wednesday since the start of 2020/21 NBA action, the fifth Wednesday since the start of the 2021 MLB season, and the second Wednesday of the 2021 Semifinal Round. Because I started these daily episodes on Opening Day of the 2020 MLB season (July 24, 2020), this is the 260th total "Elite" Daily Episode, and this is my 125th daily episode of the 2021 calendar year. This is my 126th daily episode of the 2020/21 NBA season, and this is my 34th daily episode of the 2021 MLB season. In this episode, I list the individual stats of the best performers from the previous day (May 4, 2021), and I point out the stats of players that I have listed as "elite" in my profiles. I have also logged yesterday's "Best NBA Performance", "Best NBA Play", "Best Pitcher", "Best Hitter", and "Best MLB Play". I used the MLB.com, NBA.com, and ESPN.com websites to look up the stats from the previous day's games, along with the daily stats and highlights. I additionally used ESPN.com to look up the stats and highlights for the remainder of the games and league standings that I mention in the episode. I also watched highlights for some games on their respective leagues' YouTube accounts. My intent with these daily episodes is to run down the past day's sports in a not-so-long amount of time to save time. I allude to specific games and moments, and I implore anyone who watches to take a look at the aforementioned moments and highlights if they want to. I also point out the particular athletes that I have labeled "elite" as not only great but athletes that are performing at an "elite" level within their own sport. I also recommend watching my "Elite" Profiles where I go into depth about why these specific athletes are regarded as either "elite" or "GOAT" level talents. I recorded this episode and took this picture with my iPhone. Thanks for being a part of the journey.
