The Los Angeles Lakers were able to score a big win when they were able to trade Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic. It is still a shocking trade all of these months later. Davis and the Mavericks weren’t able to make the playoffs, and Doncic was picked on in the series against the Wolves defensively. Neither franchise was happy at the end of the season. Still, the Lakers have a player who can be the face of the franchise for the next decade. Davis was clearly unhappy being traded and said as much in interviews in the weeks following the…

With the top of the 2025 NBA Draft order set, many mock drafts are starting to come out. While much of the focus will be on lottery picks, the Los Angeles Lakers wait until pick No. 55 to make their first selection. That late in the draft, the Lakers are unlikely to find a player who can make an impact as a rookie. However, they could bet on somebody with some upside. It’s no secret that the Lakers need size. They may still be playing if they had better center play this season. They can’t go into the 2025-26 season…
Larsa Pippen is no stranger to media attention, but she’s drawing a firm line when it comes to false rumors-especially those linking her to NBA rookie Bronny James. The reality TV personality and ex-wife of Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen spoke out strongly after DJ Vlad, a former DJ turned internet journalist, implied in an interview that she might be romantically involved with the young Los Angeles Lakers guard Appearing on The Jason Lee Show, Pippen firmly denied any connection to Bronny James and took direct aim at DJ Vlad, accusing him of creating drama for clicks. “That’s crazy-it’s crazy…
One of the main reasons the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the playoffs was the play of Julius Randle. The forward averaged 22.6 points in the series while knocking down 39.3% from deep as he regularly made the Lakers defense pay for focusing so much attention on Anthony Edwards. It was also a nice bit of revenge for Randle in his first season with the Timberwolves as he was able to take out his former team. Randle, of course, was originally drafted by the Lakers in 2014 and spent his first four NBA…
Finally, a chance for some Americans in Europe to win something. It’s been a rather quiet season on that front. There s been a lot of promise, but no real quantifiable moments of unqualified success. You can perhaps consider the Supercoppa Italiana as a trophy – which Christian Pulisic played his part in. But those are a couple of glorified friendlies. No one will remember who won it in a year. This week, though, there are real-life trophies on the line, soccer that means something. First, it’s Pulisic’s Milan in the Coppa Italia final. They have been better in the…
With two matches of a disappointing Serie A season remaining for the eighth-placed team, a Coppa Italia victory over Bologna in the final in Rome would be a silver lining for Conceicao’s side who also lifted the Italian Super Cup in January. “It will surely be a pleasure if we can win this trophy and satisfy the fans in a difficult year. From the outside, we may seem angry, but it’s not the case. We have immense joy in playing this final,” Conceicao told reporters. “This pressure is part of Milan’s history. It’s normal in these big clubs. We must…
Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is on the radar of AC Milan, as per reports. De Gea bid farewell to United in the summer of 2023 after making 545 appearances and keeping a phenomenal 190 clean sheets for the Red Devils. Then manager Erik ten Hag decided against handing the Spaniard a new contract, leading to his departure on a free transfer and the eventual arrival of Andre Onana. The United legend who left Old Trafford on the back of a very disappointing campaign between the sticks had to wait for over a year to find his next…
The Rossoneri and the Rossoblu faced each other on Friday in Serie A, a game that Milan came from behind to win, scoring three times in the last 18 minutes to secure a 3-1 victory and severely dent Bologna’s hopes of a top four finish. However, a final is a totally separate event. The good news on the injury front is that Warren Bondo and Riccardo Sottil have travelled with the team which strongly implies there is a chance that both end up making the bench. Rafael Leao served a suspension on Friday and returns. There is, however, a doubt:…
The Rossoneri are in Rome where, after a special visit to the Quirinale Palace with the President of the Republic, it’s time for the press conference which precedes AC Milan v Bologna, the 78th Coppa Italia final. Coach Sergio Conceição and Mike Maignan spoke to the press, live on the AC Milan Official App and Milan TV. Here’s what they had to say: “We are ready, concentrated on what we have to do. We have the chance to win another trophy and qualify for Europe after a difficult year. Feeling the pressure is normal, we are AC Milan. We’re pumped…
