LeBron James has long been a subject of debate regarding his performance in clutch moments. Critics often point to instances where he opted to pass the ball instead of taking the final shot. However, James himself has defended these decisions, asserting that he could have averaged 50 points per game if he had chosen to take every last shot himself I never averaged 30 points a game in high school… I could have averaged 50 but it was never about that. It was about, how can I get the most out of my teammates for all of us to be…
The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly exploring a bold trade that would send fan-favorite Austin Reaves to the Utah Jazz in exchange for a package centered around the No. 5 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. The proposed deal has sparked debate among fans and analysts, with some seeing it as a necessary move to balance the roster while others view it as a risky gamble. According to Colin Keane of the Sporting News, the Los Angeles Lakers see Reaves as “redundant alongside Dončić,” making him expendable in a deal that could bring in much-needed frontcourt help. The trade would…
The Luka Dončić trade was always more about the future than the present for the Los Angeles Lakers. It was about securing the next face of the franchise — issuing the transition from the LeBron James era to the next era. But the Lakers maintained high ambitions for this season. Before the trade, the Lakers had begun rounding into form. Dončić’s arrival gave them a young superstar capable of carrying the offense on a deep playoff run. And after a couple of shaky losses while integrating Dončić, they looked like contenders. They had the league’s best defense over a 20-4…
As Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James enters the offseason, the NBA world is buzzing about his next career move. With a $52.6 million player option for the 2025-26 season (per Spotrac), LeBron faces a pivotal decision: stay the course or opt out to explore new possibilities. Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley, writing on Wednesday, suggested James could decline his option. “LeBron James has bucked the aging curve better than anyone in basketball history, but the 40-year-old won’t actually play forever,” Buckley wrote. He may not be the planet’s best player anymore, but the fact that he remains a top 10-ish…
Bologna technical director Giovanni Sartori has hailed the club for a sensational finish to the season, after they defeated AC Milan 1-0 in the Coppa Italia final on Wednesday. Sartori heaped praise on the players and the manager, acknowledging their incredible turnaround after a difficult first half of the season. Speaking to Sky Sport Italia (h/t Sport Mediaset), Sartori said: “There is happiness in having given a cup to the city of Bologna and the fans. Then we also gave it to ourselves, between the president and the lads. I think we deserved it with a great match. We had…
Milan went into the Coppa Italia with all the favoritism possible after eliminating Inter Milan (UEFA Champions League finalists and Serie A runners-up) 3-0 in the second leg of the semi-finals. However, Bologna showed all their tradition in Italian soccer and won the final 1-0 at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico. The first few minutes of the game were intense and Rafael Leão had a great chance to score after just three minutes after a pass from Alex Jiménez. Santiago Castro then responded for Bologna from a free-kick and Maignan made a great save. In the 11th minute, it was Milan’s turn…
With big clubs dominating across Europe’s top five leagues, Wednesday’s Coppa Italia Final saw one of the minnows taking home the silverware. Taking on Serie A giants AC Milan, it would be Bologna who bucked the trend and took the trophy away from the seven-time European champions. It was the perfect way to cap a remarkable season for Bologna, who also enjoyed their first ever foray into the UEFA Champions League during 2024/25. Those trips to venues like Anfield and Villa Park will never be forgotten, nor will welcoming the likes of Borussia Dortmund and AS Monaco to the Stadio…
It can certainly be debated if the past few years have been good. However, this year can be made to look like a blip if the recovery is strong, which is a must now for Milan – both in a sporting and trust sense. Before this year, the club were consistently in the Champions League and fighting for the Scudetto. A year of chaos has changed that tune though, and those ideas look years away. With some stability and squad building though, things could return to a better place – look at Bologna, for example. Progress must start this summer,…
Walker, 34, joined AC Milan from Manchester City on a loan deal until the end of the 2024/25 campaign. However, things have not gone as well as the England international may have liked, as the 19-time Serie A winners have endured a torrid campaign and currently sit eighth in the division On Wednesday (May 14), the Rossoneri’s misery was compounded when they lost 1-0 in the Coppa Italia final against Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome – although Walker was introduced on 62 minutes. In January, Walker explained how he had joined Milan as he “didn’t want to just…
Last night’s was a game that we have seen Milan play so many times this season. Show sparks, but fail to set alight. The Rossoneri have shown glimpses all season, sometimes they have added up to a result, but the overwhelmingly common outcome has been a poor performance. It was the latter last night, as Sergio Conceicao’s side failed to really show any signs of changing the game after Bologna took a hold of things in the first half. We saw the same spells of positivity, but they were outweighed by quality. A very frustrating night indeed, and probably the…
