He infamously passed on an open chance to Matisse Thybulle, which indicated how low on confidence he was throughout the series. During the post-match conference, questions regarding Ben Simmons were thrown onto Doc Rivers. One of them was if he believed that Simmons could be a starting point guard in a championship-winning team. Doc’s answer to this question was a simple: ‘I don’t know’. This added fuel to the fire and all of that has eventually built up to a situation today, where Simmons wants out of the Philadelphia 76ers with four years left on his contract....

This week’s Grilling JR podcast focused on the January 7, 2008 episode of WWE RAW. Ross watched the show as-live and gave his take on various aspects of WWE programming around that period of time. The WWE Hall of Famer confirmed that Vince McMahon decides who appears in video packages before shows. While Ross considered it “a great source of pride” to hear his voice in the videos, he was also disappointed when Vince McMahon replaced him....

Luckily for the Douglases, the storm deposited them outside in the driveway, stunned but only marked with cuts and bruises. Like thousands of other people in the Oklahoma City area, they had survived a storm whose top speed was reliably clocked at 318 miles an hour–the highest wind ever recorded on earth. This was an F-5 on the Fujita scale, or, as meteorologist Harold Brooks of the National Severe Storms Laboratory puts it, “a moose....

His friend and former coach, Javier Mendez, has reason to believe things are going pretty smoothly thus far. Check out Javier Mendez’s video below:...

The Reds were hoping to challenge for the Premier League title this season, but slipped out of contention following an untimely dip at the start of 2017.

The misfits driving Liverpool’s aims The intention is to lock down that berth, with Coutinho looking forward to facing the challenges which lie ahead as an iconic club endeavours to position themselves back among the European elite....

The future looks dark for abject Arsenal Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s return from injury could be scuppered over concerns about the turf at Olimp-2, with Mourinho admitting his team selection would be influenced by a pitch he claims is reminiscent of the rain-sodden one in Beijing that saw a pre-season friendly against Manchester City cancelled. When airing his concerns with UEFA over potential injuries, Mourinho claims he was told “what happens to them is no problem”....

Sessegnon rose through the youth ranks at Fulham before becoming a prominent member of the first team. His impressive performances caught the attention of Tottenham, who signed him for £20 million in 2019. He endured a difficult debut campaign with Spurs due to injuries and a lack of support from the club’s manager. After spending the 2020-21 campaign on loan at German club Hoffenheim, Sessegnon returned to Tottenham last season, where Antonio Conte gave him a new lease of life....

With two superstars swapping franchises, there was bound to be a ton of reactions from all fans and players alike. So let’s quickly get into the same. NBA Twitter in splits after Houston Rockets trade Russell Westbrook for John Wall While there have been mixed responses to the trade in general, many have been left scratching their heads. While Russell Westbrook didn’t really leave a lasting impact in the playoffs for the Houston Rockets to keep him around, John Wall hasn’t played a game in two years....

Usually these segments don’t reverberate much after the broadcast is over. Sunday night was different. At halftime of the LA Galaxy-Seattle Sounders match on Fox Sports 1, Lalas unloaded on the underachieving U.S. men’s national team, calling out several players by name. Very few of the team’s biggest stars were spared, whether it was its goalkeeper (“Tim [Howard], the Belgium game ended three years ago — we need you to save the ball now”), its captain (“Michael Bradley, the U....

In the third game of the final set, Medvedev struck a smash straight at Bublik, who was somehow able to put the ball back in play despite finding himself on the floor. Medvedev apologized to his opponent before finishing the point with a smash. But chair umpire Aurelie Tourte called it a ‘hindrance,’ as the Russian’s apology came while the point was still in progress. While Tourte followed the rule book, Medvedev was left rather bemused as he felt Bublik, who was on the ground without a racket, had no chance of returning the Russian’s shot....

The Norwegian striker recently joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund for a reported £51 million fee. He scored 86 goals in 89 games across competitions for the Bundesliga club, emerging as one of the best attacking talents in the world.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe, meanwhile, was heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer....

Three players have netted over ten goals for Jurgen Klopp’s side in the Premier League so far this season. Mohamed Salah has found the back of the net 19 times, while Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane have 12 and 11 to their name, respectively. They are currently the three top goalscorers in the league. Kewell has now tipped winter arrival Diaz to join his fellow forwards in taking his Liverpool goalscoring tally to double digits this term....

The Three Lions started the half brightly, but gave away a poor goal on the quarter-hour mark when they failed to clear their lines from a free kick. Last year’s European Championship finalists have only scored once in their Nations League encounters so far through a Harry Kane penalty in Germany and their lack of cutting edge will certainly concern English supporters ahead of this year’s Qatar World Cup....

Remember this iconic line from the movie “The Shawshank Redemption” (1994)? When Daniel Chima Chukwu made the switch from SC East Bengal to Jamshedpur FC last month, he was emotionally at a low ebb. What sustained him during that phase was hope – the hope of ending the season on a high and doing justice to his name. When SC East Bengal announced Chima’s signing for ISL 2021-22 in September last year, the fans’ excitement reached fever pitch....

It’s no secret that despite controversies, WWE generates unprecedented revenue from the shows it conducts in Saudi Arabia. The deal stems back to 2014, though for the first few years, the company only conducted select house shows. However, since 2018, several major stadium-sized shows have gone down in Saudi Arabia as part of the partnership, which runs until 2027. The deal has been massively lucrative, with the promotion making more money through each event than it makes even from its marquee show, WrestleMania....

It has been suggested that the German midfielder is looking to double his money to around the £100,000-a-week mark at Anfield. ‘Liverpool weakest of PL’s top six’ No agreement on an extension has been reached as yet, meaning that Can could enter the final 12 months of his current deal this summer. Exit rumours have been sparked amid the talk of a breakdown in communication, but the 23-year-old is adamant that finances will not be a deciding factor in any further discussions....

On Wednesday, Coleen Rooney, wife of former England national team forward Wayne Rooney, used Twitter to highlight an Instagram sting operation she conducted on her own after years of having personal stories and information leaked to the press. “For a few years now someone who I trusted to follow me on my personal Instagram account has been consistently informing the Sun newspaper of my private posts and stories. There has been so much information given to them about me, my friends and my family – all without my permission or knowledge,” Coleen Rooney wrote....
