For now, they appear willing to close a deal. The foundations are there to make a deal, seeing as Leverkusen can…
Magic Johnson is one of the most important players in NBA history. The Los Angeles Lakers legend won five titles and helped build the popularity of the league. Recently, the Hall of Fame point guard revealed who he has as his greatest player of all time (via ESPN’s First Take). Considering Johnson’s place in NBA history, his opinion carries a lot of weight. The two NBA legends faced off 18 times over their careers. Jordan had the 11-7 advantage in those matchups. Jordan played 15 seasons for the Chicago Bulls (13) and Washington Wizards (2). He is most known for…
Arsenal are preparing for the new season with an ambitious pre-season schedule and a sweeping squad overhaul, as Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta aim to end the club’s long wait for a Premier League title and make a serious push in the UEFA Champions League. Following a third consecutive runners-up finish in 2024/25, the Gunners will kick off their pre-season with a high-profile tour of Asia, including marquee friendlies and the historic first North London Derby staged outside the UK.

The Denver Nuggets may not have a pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, but that hasn’t stopped them from sniffing around the prospects their rivals are eyeing… and maybe even stealing a page out of the Lakers’ scouting book. And yes, you heard that right, and no, we’re not kidding! According to ESPN’s Ohm Youngmisuk, Denver recently brought in four intriguing prospects for workouts: Arizona guard Caleb Love, Kansas center Hunter Dickinson, Bradley forward Darius Hannah, and Indiana big man Oumar Ballo. That last name should ring a bell if you’ve been tracking Lakers workouts, because Ballo was just in…
It’s no secret that injuries hampered Bryant in the back half of his career and he was a shell of himself in his 20th and final season. In true Kobe fashion though, he turned back the clock in his final game and scored 60 points to lead the Lakers to a comeback victory over the Utah Jazz as the basketball world watched on in awe. Even Bryant’s teammates couldn’t believe what they were seeing as a number of Lakers players at the time were super young and weren’t around to see the shooting guard at the peak of his powers.…
Ronald Araujo is one of the pieces with which FC Barcelona can make money this summer.

It is easy to forget, because of how much of a positive impact they made, that Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri were only peripheral to the Arsenal squad at the start of last season. By the end, they had both made 23 Premier League appearances. For Nwaneri, it was an introduction to the level, but for Lewis-Skelly, it was a genuine breakthrough. The left-back-cross-midfielder ended with 39 senior games under his belt, a senior England call-up (plus start and goal), and experience in massively high-pressure scenarios. Lewis-Skelly was in Arteta’s best team, not just his available one. Having not made…
