Quarantine Power Rankings: Who was the isolation GOAT this week?
Athletes everywhere continue to get creative as they deal with their respective leagues being on hiatus. Some are better at it than others. Every Sunday throughout May, we'll look back on the week that was before crowning a quarantine king or queen. Here are the top isolation moments from the sports world over the last seven days.
10. Gallagher finally learning French
Brendan Gallagher is bored and won't stop TikTok-ing. We hope he never stops. If we're being honest, as an alternate captain with the Montreal Canadiens, it's about time Gallagher learns some French.
9. Holly Holm celebrates her new ride
Former UFC women's bantamweight champion Holly Holm picked up a new car this week, and it was exactly what she wanted. Naturally, it was mandatory that she bust out some celebratory moves.
8. Aguero's clever decorating decisions
Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero has won a record seven Premier League Player of the Month awards. The Argentine put one of the keepsakes to good use as a makeshift platform for his PS4 camera while playing FIFA. This is, as the kids say, a flex.
7. No rest for The King
While many of us have already devoured through most of our quarantine pantry at this point, leave it to LeBron James to remind us all that some of us are just built differently.
6. Adam Wainwright: Insomniac Troubadour
St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright had trouble sleeping early this week, so he hosted a mini-concert with his trusty guitar and smooth vocal stylings.
5. An NBA fender bender
Allow this hilarious tale involving Nick "Swaggy P" Young and Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee to remind you that it's truly a small world after all.
4. 'Greg Olsen' has seriously aged
The Seattle Seahawks are still working while in quarantine, and they received a surprise guest appearance during their virtual meeting from Will Ferrell, who crashed the team's Zoom gathering pretending to be tight end Greg Olsen.
3. Doolittle discovers AI meme generator
Washington Nationals reliever Sean Doolittle found the perfect way to while away his time during the pandemic by stumbling on the AI meme generator. It's a descent into random absurdity that only gets funnier as more nonsense memes get plucked from the ether.
2. How much do you trust OBJ?
You've heard about trust falls, but what about trust catches? Cleveland Browns star Odell Beckham Jr. is known for his one-handed grabs, so much so that one of his friends put his face on the line to help show off OBJ's one-handed abilities.
1. Matthews, Andersen perfectly in sync
Maple Leafs stars Auston Matthews and Frederik Andersen are quarantining far from Toronto and seem to be making the most of it. Both the delivery and the finish on this alley-oop are perfect. Their place doesn't look too shabby, either.
