We broke down the 2026 NBA Draft, explored the cities that host basketball's biggest moments, and talked about legendary hoops destinations. It was also the end of the month, so we drew our 500 Bits Monthly Giveaway alongside our Marbles on Stream races.

🏀 The 2026 NBA Draft: What You Need to Know

The 2026 NBA Draft was held over two nights at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Round 1 was Tuesday, June 23, and Round 2 followed on Wednesday, June 24.

Top of the board:

  1. Washington Wizards: AJ Dybantsa (F, BYU). The Wizards won the lottery with a 14% chance.

  2. Utah Jazz: Darryn Peterson (G, Kansas)

  3. Memphis Grizzlies: Cameron Boozer (F, Duke)

  4. Chicago Bulls: Caleb Wilson (F, North Carolina)

Draft storylines:

  • Nine of the first ten picks were college freshmen, tying the record for most freshmen in a top ten.

  • The first 20 picks all came from college basketball, which hadn't happened since 1994.

  • Nine Big 12 players went in the first round, a conference record.

✈️ Basketball Travel: Hoops Destinations Worth the Trip

Brooklyn, New York. Barclays Center opened in 2012 and sits in one of the best food neighborhoods in the country. Pair a Nets game with Brooklyn Bridge walks and Manhattan sightseeing.

Springfield, Massachusetts. The birthplace of basketball and home of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

Chicago, Illinois. The United Center, home of the Bulls, is famous for its Michael Jordan statue, and the city offers architecture tours and deep-dish pizza.

Boston, Massachusetts. The Celtics have one of the richest histories in the league. A TD Garden game pairs well with Freedom Trail walks.

Los Angeles, California. Lakers and Clippers games meet beaches, studio tours, and year-round sunshine.

New York City. Madison Square Garden is called the "World's Most Famous Arena." Pair a Knicks game with Broadway and Central Park.

🧳 How to Plan a Sports Getaway

  1. Pick your team or city first, then check the schedule.

  2. Book flights and hotels as soon as you have dates. Game nights raise prices.

  3. Look into arena tours and hall-of-fame stops for non-game days.

  4. Stay near public transit.

  5. Build in a non-sports day for everyone in the group.

  6. Ask about packages that bundle tickets, hotels, and extras.

Our Deep Dive Recap: Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas

The TravelWives are officially back on shore! We're Shannon and Kahla, and we're here to give you all the specific, must-know, sometimes-hilarious details about our sailing on Royal Caribbean’s Jewel of the Seas. This trip was the perfect mix of relaxation, amazing food, and learning a few cruise hacks along the way. Pre-Cruise Perfection: Hollywood Beach is a Must Let’s start with the non-negotiable step: the pre-cruise stay. Cruising out of Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) is easy, but you absolutely have to fly in the night before. Kathleen and Kahla arrived early and stayed right in Hollywood Beach, FL. Seriously, book it! The area is fantastic, the Broadwalk is a whole vibe, and you can practically taste the ocean air already. It’s the best way to kick off a vacation and avoid travel day stress. Hollywood Beach Fl for the win, every single time! The Good, The Gluten-Free, and The Great Service The ship's service was outstanding, especially when it came to dining: Gl...
