The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t exactly a healthy unit, but their spunk and dogged determination has been on full display as they stake their claim for a postseason berth. Their mettle will further be tested when they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves at home on Friday and will be without the services of LeBron James and D’Angelo Russell. However, the Lakers will still be sweating over the health of Anthony Davis and Dennis Schroder. While the latter delivered helping LA pip the Oklahoma City Thunder, he did give the side an injury scare after turning his ankle in the first quarter. That said, there have…

Dillon Brooks has no love for the Golden State Warriors, especially after their 2022 playoffs series, where the eventual champions took out the Memphis Grizzlies. Draymond Green appears to be the one that Brooks hates the most, as the Grizzlies player recently took some big shots at the 4x NBA champion. Quin Snyder Is Trae Young’s “Last Chance” With AtlantaHawks, Says NBA ScoutRead More “I don’t like Draymond at all,” he says. “I just don’t like Golden State. I don’t like anything to do with them. Draymond talks a lot. Gets away with a lot, too. His game is cool…

The 1996 NBA Draft Class is regarded as one of the greatest and most talented draft classes in NBA history. The class produced 10 different All-Stars and three MVPs, as well as a host of other elite role players and skilled specialists. Of course, the big names like Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson stand out but the 1996 draft class also features other big names in the history of the league. This re-draft will place each one of these stars on a different career path but based on the players we have come to know and love as they were…

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant joined the Brooklyn Nets in 2019 in hopes of winning at least one NBA Championship together. However, the duo failed to do so and recently parted ways. Kyrie was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, followed by Durant’s trade to the Phoenix Suns. The two superstar teammates have now become conference rivals, and they are all set to face off against each other this Sunday. Ahead of the much-anticipated matchup, Kyrie Irving issued a friendly warning to Kevin Durant.

Michael Jordan and LeBron James have been compared a lot in recent years, as many people have different opinions on who is the undisputed NBA GOAT. For Magic Johnson, who has his former rival and friend Jordan as the greatest of all time, LeBron still needs to do a couple of things before he can overtake His Airness. “I don’t know. It might take a couple more championships to do that. LeBron is special. I don’t want people to always get mad over this. We have got to celebrate both guys. Michael is the best, and we should celebrate him and…

The Golden State Warriors were supposed to be heading into the 2023 season following a championship, their 4th in their ranks. The Warriors got the job done thanks to their core of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, although Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins had invaluable roles as well and deserve their credit. It was certainly an impressive title run by the team last year, especially since they took down a talented Boston Celtics side led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in the NBA Finals. But instead of challenging this season, the Warriors are not as dominant as…

Kevin Durant is one of the most versatile players in the entire league. His skill set allows him to play in a variety of situations, and he has played well on an individual level for every team he’s been on. Recently, NBA analyst Colin Cowherd compared Kevin Durant to NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who recently won the Super Bowl. Cowherd claimed that Kevin Durant works with a variety of players, similar to the quarterback. “Kevin Durant works with anti-vaxxers, NBA basketball players afraid to shoot,” Colin Cowherd claimed. “He got Russell Westbrook to a Finals, nobody works with Westbrook! He works with rigid guys,…

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a lot of tough injury luck this season, which is part of why they are currently the 11th seed in the Western Conference. There is no doubt that it is tough to win games when stars aren’t available, but the Lakers might have to do so in the coming weeks. It was reported that LeBron James would be out for at least two or three weeks, but a recent update seems to be even grimmer. According to NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the Los Angeles Lakers are preparing for the possibility of LeBron James being out for the rest of…

The NBA Draft is a major event every summer. The event features all 30 franchises selecting new players for their teams. Eligible rules for prospective players feature the prospects being at least 19 years old before they can sign with a team. Players who have played at least one year of college basketball are eligible for the NBA draft. This has been since mentioned as the “one and done” rule. College basketball is one of the most viewed sports in the United States. March Madness is on an entirely different pedestal. The madness will begin soon with potential NBA prospects…

Her husband Emmett, 31, ended up delivering their second son Michael as she lay on the lawn.   Photo credits: Lisa Leavey The 33-year-old explains: ‘I noticed I was…

We mention this time and time again. The NBA is a business that operates by paying players to play professional basketball. These franchises must negotiate with players and their agents on what is an appropriate contract. Some players can make over $40 million, while others are playing for the veteran’s minimum. The value in return is what we measure when we have a dollar amount. For every bad contract, there are bargains. The NBA has many terrible contracts this season for players with upcoming salaries that are drastically hurting the team’s outlook for the future. The Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers have felt that as…

Michael Jordan wasn’t only an incredible basketball player but one of the best athletes this world has ever seen.

An impressive if morbid collection of mummified remains from different eras of the region’s history. The 19th-century mummified remains of an unknown woman. THE MUMMY MUSEUM IN THE small town of Encarnación de Díaz is a morbid collection that seems to have been ripped straight from the pages of famed Mexican writer Juan Rulfo’s gothic magical realist novel “Pedro Paramo.” On display are a number of macabre mummified remains whose disturbing stories are a testament to the darker side of Jalisciense history: a grimacing guerrilla gunned down by a gung-ho firing squad, a shawled señora with a sinister skeletal smile,…

Several bouquets of offering flowers have been discovered 59 feet below the temple of the god Quetzalcóatl – a pyramid that still stands in the Mexican ruined city of Teotihuacan. Quetzalcóatl, or ‘Plumed Serpent’ was an important god during ancient Mesoamerica, a historical region that included central Mexico through Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and northern Costa Rica. This deity was said to have given maize to humanity and was responsible for the creation of mankind, which may be why offering flowers were uncovered under the god’s temple. Sergio Gómez, an archaeologist at Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History, said…

The NBA has been around for several decades now and in its rich history many players have flaunted their elite ability to play basketball in front of the fans. But among those thousands of players, there are only a few players who are truly worthy of being considered the most important players in the NBA. Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley recently explained why he initially mentioned Magic Johnson and Larry Bird as the two most important players in the league. But how Michael Jordan simply took the NBA to another level. “Michael comes later and took it to a whole…
