Fabio Paratici seemingly was heading to the new sporting director role at AC Milan rather uncontested, but this is no longer the case. In the past few weeks, Paratici’s name has reigned supreme when it came to the sporting director discussion. So, when it was reported that the deal was all but done, there were no real shocks, but the Italian will not arrive now, it seems. According to Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, the talks have reached a ‘sudden stop’, and Milan will now return to looking for a new director. Whilst the disqualification factor was known, the report…
Even in the year 2025, there are few things more fun to watch in basketball than a primetime battle between Steph Curry and LeBron James. The two future Hall of Famers were back at it again Thursday night as their respective teams jockey for seeding in the upcoming Western Conference playoffs. And on Thursday at Crypto.com Arena, it was Curry and the Warriors getting the best of Los Angeles, cruising to a 123-116 win. Golden State entered the night holding sole possession of the No. 5 playoff seed, and they’ll remain there with a 45-31 record. If the Warriors lost…
The Miami Heat’s win streak ended at six Thursday losing 110-108 to the Memphis Grizzlies at Kaseya Center. The Heat (42-35) are 1.5 games behind the No. 8 and a half game ahead of No. 10 with five games left. For most, the lasting image from this game is Grizzlies’ two-time All-Star Ja Morant’s winning buzzer-beater. With the game tied, the Heat put out a lineup featuring all of their best available defenders. “We’re at our best when we’re active, not just leaving a guy on an island,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We feel fully comfortable with Kel-el guarding…
The Memphis Grizzlies desperately needed a win on Thursday night to snap their four-game losing streak. Fortunately, they called number 12 and Ja Morant delivered. It was a moment both Morant and the Grizzlies needed. After weeks of seeing his name in the headlines, Morant had a moment to remind everybody who he is when he hit a buzzer-beating game-winner against the Miami Heat. With the buzzer-beater, Morant became only the third player in Grizzlies history with multiple game-winning buzzer-beaters. According to Stat Mamba, the only other two on the list are Pau Gasol and Rudy Gay. Against the Heat,…

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle had said LeBron after he led the Lakers’ win over Indiana with his buzzer beater. We can not deny. Since turning 40, LeBron has been averaging 25.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, eight assists, and 53% shooting. These numbers are surprisingly close to those of his MVP season in 2012-13 with the Miami Heat. For all good reasons, at the end of March, on the NBA’s Race to the MVP Ladder, LeBron was sitting in fifth place. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic look set for the top two positions. But LeBron’s rise in the picture might not be…
Golden State star Stephen Curry scores over Lakers star LeBron James, left, and forward Dorian Finney-Smith. The Lakers couldn’t miss. And then they couldn’t make anything. Eleven times in a row they got a mismatch they liked and found themselves in spots on the court they wanted, only to see their shots fail. For the first four minutes, the Lakers’ offense was perfect. For the next eight, it was problematic. For the first time in a long time since the Lakers traded for Luka Doncic, his magic disappeared, the team’s offensive engine frustrated by a combination of Golden State’s defense,…
AC Milan and Off-White™ amplify their ongoing partnership with the release of their third-annual, limited-edition “I SUPPORT SPORT FOR CHANGE” t-shirt, created to support a Fondazione Milan initiative focused on empowering at-risk kids in Harlem, New York City, through football. The collaborative project – which kicked off in 2022, expanding from Milan’s underserved suburb of Gratosoglio to Nairobi’s Dandora and Korogocho slums in 2024 – now lands in the Big Apple at Success Academy Charter Schools, with its Soccer Program. Since 2006, the program has offered children, regardless of their background or financial means, the opportunity to play soccer and…
At this stage of the season, AC Milan’s off-field efforts are entirely focused on finding the sporting director who will join the management team, and it is hoped that this person will be the missing piece of a team that was lacking in squad-building last season, making mistakes and repeatedly backtracking on decisions, disavowing them. Once the new sporting director is appointed, however, with a general agreement already reached with Fabio Paratici, there will be another thorny issue to address: that of the coach. In fact, it is truly difficult and unthinkable that, from July onwards, Sergio Conceição could still…
The Los Angeles Lakers have a handful of games remaining in the regular season. That means that between now and April 13 — the final day of the regular season — all of the questions surrounding seeding and postseason matchups for the first round are going to be answered. With a big win over the Houston Rockets on Monday, the Lakers put themselves in a great position to not only avoid the Play-In Tournament, but also fight for an even higher seed over the last seven games. They’ll need to play with urgency the way both LeBron James and JJ…
