Instead of season-ending surgery, LeBron James traveled far and wide for a third opinion on his foot injury and dedicated three sessions per day to returning to the Los Angeles Lakers lineup. According to LeBron, his ramped up ramp-up was motivated by the Lakers’ realistic chance at grabbing the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference. “To hell with the play-in,” LeBron said after his surprising return on Sunday. “We actually can be a top-6 seed. That definitely changed my mindset on me coming back and trying to be a part of this. So, well, I don’t really want to say ‘changed my mindset’. It just enhanced what I was trying to do…

Before Kyrie Irving was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, NBA insider Ben Golliver had put out quite an interesting scenario that could happen in the future. With how the Mavericks have fallen to 36-39 on the season, he might end up being right on the money. On the GOAT NBA Podcast, Golliver suggested the Los Angeles Lakers should let the Mavericks land Kyrie as he will be like a ‘Trojan Horse’ that destroys them from the inside. He mentioned that the Mavs GM Nico Harrison, who was vice president of American Basketball operations at Nike, already lost Jalen Brunson last summer when…
There are occasional questions about Stephen Curry’s true position. The greatest shooter of all time can’t possibly be a point guard given that the Golden State Warriors star is very often doing the scoring rather than helping others score. However you feel about Steph Curry’s position, you can’t deny he’s still one heck of a playmaker. On Sunday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he moved up the ranks in NBA history as one of its all-time assist leaders. Stephen Curry moved up two places in one night, passing both Larry Bird (5,695) and Dwyane Wade (5,701) to move up to 46th on the all-time assist leaderboard. Steph Curry…
That’s poor old german shepherd four years old and already doomed. Doomed not to be able to walk. In a deserted construction she was lying there on the cement covered in wounds and urine. It was a nightmare. She was a guard dog at the construction but now they didn’t need her. They couldn’t afford surgery, so they asked The GoGo shelter volunteers to take her up. Her name is Martha, Volunteers took Martha to vet. Unfortunately, the doctor has determined that Martha has little possibility of walking and that her life will have to be spent in a wheelchair.…

The NBA Finals and a player’s record on the game’s most important stage have been at the center of debate for quite some time now. One end of the argument is that an individual player’s Finals record absolutely matters toward their ranking on an all-time list. Of course, context matters as does a player’s role on those Finals teams when we talk about their legacy and if they contributed significantly towards an NBA championship. The other end of the argument is that if a player performs at an elite level and is the best player on the court, winning or…
The Los Angeles Lakers’ chances of making the playoffs after a historically bad 2-10 start to the season look increasingly secure with the team’s recent form. Despite losing to the Chicago Bulls, the Lakers saw the return of LeBron James off the bench. After James returned from his month-long foot injury, the Lakers’ odds of winning the title have sky-rocketed. This is the Lakers’ first loss with LeBron in the lineup since the trade. He wasn’t looking like himself as he was trying to ramp up back to the star we know him to be. He scored a team-high 19 points off the…

Even after a century has passed since its discovery, King Tutankhamun’s tomb is still quite well known. Next to it is a mystery that captivates the public’s curiosity; nine persons have passed away after approaching the king’s tomb, which has led some to think of the ‘curse of the mummies. A decade of 9 deaths According to Newsweek, on November 4, 1922, in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, British Egyptologist Howard Carter came across a ruined ladder, half hidden beneath fragments from the mausoleum. tomb of Ramesses IV.

A team of archaeologists made up of Polish and Armenian scientists has discovered a “golden tomb” containing two skeletons in Metsamor, Armenia. The team discovered the remains of three gold necklaces while excavating the grave of two people, most likely a couple (a man and a woman). The tomb dates back to Ramesses II’s rule over Egypt. Metsamor is one of the most studied archaeological monuments of V-I century BC in the Armenian Highland, and throughout the Ancient Near East. It includes the Bronze-Iron Age settlement (citadel, city districts, and celestial observation platform) as well as the cemetery. The land area exceeds…
When the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched the Hitomi astronomical satellite into low-Earth orbit on February 17, 2016, it was supposed to be a game changer. The $273 million x-ray observatory was equipped with state-of-the-art instruments that NASA helped design; the tools were sensitive enough to probe distant mysteries of the cosmos. Hitomi was intended to study, among other things, the remnants of gigantic star explosions and the processes by which stars and galaxies form. And one of its most tantalizing objectives was to track the particle streams coming out of black holes, which have yet to be directly observed by scientists. Unfortunately, Hitomi didn’t…
When our sun runs out of hydrogen fuel in roughly 5 billion years, it will swell into a huge red giant star — violently shedding hot layers of plasma and cooking the inner planets to a crisp. All that will be left behind is an expanding bubble of cooling gas, creating a beautiful planetary nebula and a white dwarf in the middle, shining bright like a stellar diamond. Though we know this is the fate of our nearest star, what of the planets? What will happen to Earth? Astronomers from the University of Warwick, U.K., took a stab at answering this question and have…
Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, we saw the first high-definition photos of outer space in 2022. Stunning images of galaxies, constellations, nebulae, black holes and much more were captured by the successor to the Hubble. While we’ve been blown away by the sharpness of the pictures Webb has taken so far, nothing compares to gazing directly at the stars and other astronomical occurrences with our bare eyes. As Earth transits a new orbital journey around the sun, there will be many opportunities to enjoy celestial shows. Using various news and scientific sources, we’ve compiled a list of 22 astronomical events…
If there’s one thing we can safely say about astronomy, it’s that there’s no end to what we can learn. Thanks to improved telescope technology and a greater understanding of what’s going on in our solar system, we’re always learning about new types of phenomena in the distant reaches of the universe and closer to home. One thing that doesn’t change much is the night sky above us: The stars that wheel overhead look much the same as they have for millennia, and humans have long used these stars for navigation, and told stories based on their shapes. Prominent in the northern sky, the Big…
You’re in good company if you often look up into the dark night — into the glittering specks of space and sky — and think you see something extraordinary, fantastic or even unexplainable streak across the sky. People have been reporting unexplainable objects in the sky since the time of the ancient Greeks. We’re used to hearing them called UFOs or unidentified flying objects. NASA now even has an independent team of 16 scientists and astrophysicists who will be studying and attempting to understand more about these mysterious observations in the sky, or as they call them unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). For nine months starting…
Almost every NBA player has some form of competitiveness, whether we see it outright or not. The NBA is probably the most competitive league in the world, as the best athletes compete with each other on a nightly basis on the road to the NBA Finals. NBA superstars are held in the highest regard, however, as they can singlehandedly steer the course of a team’s success and generate the most money and fame as a result. Along with competitiveness, perhaps the trait that most fans, media members, and NBA players immediately notice is intimidation. Specifically, some players cause opposing players…
It is impossible to imagine Luka Doncic being traded by the Dallas Mavericks. He has been a perennial MVP candidate since his sophomore season and carried them to the Western Conference Finals this season. Yet the team around him has somehow gotten worse despite adding Kyrie Irving. And potential trades are now being discussed, including this blockbuster idea from Heavy. New Orleans Pelicans receive: Luka Doncic. Dallas Mavericks receive: Brandon Ingram, Herbert Jones, Dyson Daniels, 2024 1st-Round Pick (via LAL, can pick either 2024 or 2025), 2024 1st-Round Pick (swap option with MIL), 2025 1st-Round Pick, 2026 1st-Round Pick (swap option with MIL), 2027…

Building a Station Space startup Axiom Space is making significant progress on its all-private space station dubbed Axiom Station, which it claims will be “the successor to the International Space Station.” Images shared by former NASA astronaut Micahel López-Alegría, who was part of the startup’s first all-private astronaut mission to the ISS last April, show massive segments of the Axiom Station being fabricated at a factory in Italy. The images show huge metal rings and cylindrical segments that appear to be part of a docking port. Putting It All Together According to Axiom Space’s website, the “construction of the world’s first commercial space station is…
