Many NBA players put off getting their full college education in order to chase their dreams of basketball stardom. Some times they don’t work out, and even when they do, plenty of them eventually return to school to get their degrees. But one player in the Los Angeles Lakers’ organization not only got his bachelor’s degree but also completed his master’s degree as well. He did the latter back in December at Xavier University and earned a master’s in sport administration. This weekend, Olivari officially received his master’s degree, and he wore a Lakers jersey underneath his graduation gown at…
Etihad Stadium officials were only handed further work over the weekend as Pep Guardiola’s side outlined their ultimate struggles with the culmination of this season’s FA Cup, as Crystal Palace defeated City at the Final stage.

It was also an afternoon that further highlighted Manchester City’s frailties in midfield, as a fitness struggle…
As Calciomercato.com write, Milan were back at the scene of the crime and after losing the Coppa Italia final against Bologna, they conceded three goals against Roma who wanted to give Claudio Ranieri the best Olimpico send-off. Next season Milan will not be in Europe, not even the Conference League, but it is deserved given they have lost 11 games in Serie A. After five consecutive seasons in Europe – four of which were in the Champions League and one in the Europa League – the Rossoneri will only have to think about the league and the Coppa Italia next…
The only positive note for AC Milan and their fans is that there is just one more game until a disastrous 2024-25 season comes to a close. As Calciomercato.com write, Milan were back at the scene of the crime and after losing the Coppa Italia final against Bologna, they conceded three goals against Roma who wanted to give Claudio Ranieri the best Olimpico send-off.

But the 2025-26 season might completely flip that narrative. Former Maverick Chandler Parsons recently emerged as a vocal supporter of Harrison’s vision for the franchise’s future. The primary reason for optimism centers around Dallas’ surprising draft position. With the Mavericks likely to land generational talent Cooper Flagg, the team’s trajectory could shift dramatically upward in the coming season. However, Parsons believes there’s more to the equation than just the draft pick. The current roster construction provides a balanced attack with legitimate two-way players at every position, creating championship-level potential that few expected after the Luka Doncic departure. Their current squad…

The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks pulled off one of the biggest trades in NBA history during the 2024-25 season. Many had thought that Luka Doncic would spend his entire career with the Mavs. Recently, Skip Bayless asked Ice Cube (who is a Lakers fan) for his thoughts on the massive deal. Doncic finished his 28 regular season games with the Lakers averaging 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.6 steals per contest while shooting 43.8% from the field and 37.9% from the three-point range. That said, the Lakers lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round…
The next one at San Siro against Monza will only serve the Rossoneri fans: a heavy protest against the team and the club has already been announced. Rome, once again, offered the last remaining chances of European qualification: appeal trial failed. The last time was almost ten years ago: in 2015–16, Milan finished seventh and without access to international competitions. It also happened in the summer of 2019: not due to sporting failures, but as a result of a ruling by the CAS, with the team excluded from Europe (earned on the pitch at the end of the previous season)…

The Italian coach received a special tribute from over 68,000 supporters gathered in the stands of the historical stadium. “I remember that more than 60 years ago I was there among you,” Ranieri told the crowd at full-time. “I thank you and I asked you for help to do something beautiful together. The last step is missing… I am proud of my boys.” “Thank you all for understanding that we needed love to be able to succeed.”
