Boston Celtics forward Jonas Jerebko is the latest athlete to buy in to the esports world.Jerebko purchased the rights to the Renegades franchise from Christopher Montecristo Mykles and Chris Badawi, his teams CS:GO position in WME | IMGs ELeague and in ESL, and the first right of refusal to negotiate new contracts with that team, for an undisclosed sum.Jerebko said he originally planned to buy into the sport at the beginning of 2017, but given that the deal included the rights to negotiate with the current Renegades CS:GO team, in which four of the players had expired contracts, Jerebko said he had to seize the opportunity.The Celtics forward signed the players, based out of Australia, and moved them into a house and training center in Rochester, Michigan, with a coach and a manager.He also aggregated a Call of Duty team that was working under the name Ground Zero, formerly under the Dream Team banner. That squad will now play under the Renegades name and will compete in the Call of Duty World League Championship at the start of September.Jerebko said his intention is to build a full team, which would once again field a League of Legends squad under the Renegades name, as well as Halo and Overwatch.The deal to buy the Renegades was consummated in Las Vegas. Jerebko had come for the NBA summer league and there met with Tobias Sherman, global head of eSports at WME | IMG, who was representing Mykles.The Renegades CS:GO team includes Aaron AZR Ward, Justin jks Savage, Yaman yam Ergenekon, Karlo Ustilo Pivac, Ricardo Rickeh Mulholland, Nicholas peekay Wise and Chris GoMeZ Orfanellis. The Call of Duty team includes Adam KiLLa Sloss, Troy Sender Michaels, Martin Chino Chino and Steven Diabolic Rivero.Although Jerebko said hes aware that esports has very much turned into the wild, wild west, he hopes he can lend credibility to the sport. That means that Jerebko, who has served as team player representative for the National Basketball Players Association, doesnt have a problem with pro gamers having rights.The Call of Duty players we were negotiating with were under contract last year and werent getting paid for three to five months, Jerebko said. Thats not going to happen with me. You get a paycheck on time.That being said, Jerebko also said he expects his players to buy into his long-term vision.There are some guys in this industry asking to do six-month contracts, Jerebko said. There isnt stability in that. Jerebko wouldnt give dollar amounts to deals, but did say that they are for one year with a one-year team option.The Renegades League of Legends team was kicked out of the League of Legends Championship Series after publisher Riot Games alleged that Mykles intended to give suspended Chris Badawi an ownership stake, something Badawis ban prohibited.Jerebko joins other NBA players who have gotten into esports. Rick Fox bought a team to form Echo Fox in December and Shaquille ONeal bought a piece of NRG esports earlier this year.NRGs League of Legends team was recently relegated, but the team picked up an Overwatch team earlier this month.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska hadnt planned to run its offense through Tai Webster and Jack McVeigh Saturday. It just worked out that the pair each had career scoring nights to lead the Huskers over Louisiana Tech 65-54.Webster had 17 of his 23 points in the first half, many of them coming off drives to the basket on which he either scored or went to the free throw line where he hit 7 of 8 shots.It just kind of played out that way, Webster said of his drives. Theyre a real aggressive defensive team and they force a lot of turnovers, obviously, Im living proof of it. I was just trying to match the aggression and not let me be on the back foot from it. Just attack them, bring the game to them.McVeigh scored 16 of his 21 points in the second half after the Bulldogs sent multiple defenders at Webster.Honestly, the shots just came to me, McVeigh said. They extended the pressure and with the pressure comes rotations and with rotations theres an open man. My teammates found me. Four of the six (field goals) were assisted on. Theyre easy looks when Im getting good passes from my teammates.Nebraska (3-0) led 45-41 when McVeigh hit a 3-pointer with 11:56 left, followed that up with a layup and Evan Taylor knocked down a jumper with 9:53 remaining that put the Huskers up 52-41.Louisiana Tech (1-2) traded baskets with Nebraska over the next six minutes, with Ed Morrow Jrs dunk giving the Huskers a 60-50 lead with 3:53 left. But Nebraska didnt hit another field goal.The Bulldogs Erik McCree hit a pair of jumpers to cut the Nebraska lead to six with 57 seconds left. But McVeigh hit two of three free throws and Webster added a pair to seal the win.Theres no question, we really just couldnt get over the hump and really build some momentum, said Louisiana Tech coach Eric Konkol. It seemed like every time we got close, we missed a shot or we turned it over or theyd get a bucket on the other end. We just coulldnt get over the hump tonight.dddddddddddd Got to give them a lot of credit. I thought they played some stingy defense and made it very difficult on us.Nebraska coach Tim Miles also praised the defense of his six primary players and particularly their toughness at the end.I thought the last four minutes we were a very, very tough team, Miles said. I thought there was a stretch in there where they were out-toughing us. But I thought we finished it the way they were doing it earlier. That was really important. Were not going to win otherwise.Nebraska won the game at the free throw line, outscoring Louisiana Tech by 15 from the stripe. The Huskers hit 11 of 12 first half free throws while Louisiana Tech was just 4 of 10. Nebraska hit 10 of 12 free throws in the second half. The Bulldogs were 2 of 2.McCree led Louisiana Tech with 16 points.QUOTABLEMcVeigh and Webster are roommates and were asked who had to buy dinner since they both had career highs Saturday. Webster replied: I guess I have to, hes the older one. Ill probably cook something. Out of the two, Im the best. He hooked me up the other day with some good seafood.
