AC Milan will take on Bologna in the Coppa Italia final on Wednesday night, and for both teams it could be a season-defining game. The fixture list presented us with an appetiser on Friday and Milan landed the first punch against Bologna in what is a double challenge over five days. The Rossoneri came from 1-0 down – as they so often have under Sergio Conceicao – and eventually emerged 3-1 winners. After a cagey first half that resembled a training session more than a Serie A six-pointer, the game burst into life after the break with Riccardo Orsolini opening…
The relationship between Luka Doncic and Nico Harrison ended very badly, and there’s no way to sugarcoat it. Despite attempts to downplay the conflict, the tension between the former Mavericks star and the general manager became apparent, marking a rift that has not gone unnoticed by fans or the media. However, the love between Luka and Dallas is still there, and despite everything that happened four months ago, the Slovenian has made no secret of his great affection for the team and its fans. Luka Doncic’s trade created a tsunami of chaos: eBay searches skyrocketed 1,150% in a single day,…
The Dallas Mavericks trading away Luka Dončić was arguably the most shocking move in the history of the franchise. A firm fan favorite and franchise icon already, Dončić was on his way to becoming an all-time great. Soon after, the franchise fell apart at the seams with virtually every starter on the team injured. For fans in Dallas, hope was drying up in short order. The 2025 NBA Draft lottery was their last hope, and they thankfully got the result they were hoping for. However, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Dončić trade, LeBron James, could not help but…
When the Dallas Mavericks traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, the entire city of Dallas was heartbroken. Dallas’ only hope of making another NBA Finals was gone in the blink of an eye, and fans were furious that Nico Harrison even considered trading Doncic. From protests to “Fire Nico” chants everywhere in Dallas and more, the city was broken. Heading into Monday night’s NBA Draft Lottery, the Mavericks had the 11th-best odds of securing the No. 1 pick in the draft, a 1.8 percent chance, and the impossible happened. The Mavericks officially secured the No. 1 pick in…
The Los Angeles Lakers lucked into Luka Doncic before the trade deadline, but having one of the best players in the world doesn’t guarantee anything. Joel Embiid won MVP in 2023, and the 76ers were part of Monday’s draft lottery. The Spurs have Victor Wembanyama, who soon may be viewed as the best player in the world, and couldn’t make the postseason. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker were not enough to make the Suns a contender. Even, Luka missed the playoffs with the Mavs in 2023. It is not just about having a star. Doncic is extension-eligible this offseason, but…
The Dallas Mavericks continue to break the internet in this NBA calendar year. Within months of creating generational shock by trading Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas rode improbable odds to land the 2025 NBA Draft’s top pick on Monday night in Chicago. That means the Mavericks will most likely replace Dončić with Duke superstar guard/forward Cooper Flagg once June’s draft takes place in June in Brooklyn. Dallas general manager Nico Harrison will get the layup of layups to regain some positive vibes from Mavs fans by drafting Flagg in June. That expected move should recenter Dallas as…
This idea comes with a caveat: The Dallas Mavericks may have not had the same NBA Draft Lottery odds if Luka Doncic had never been traded away. But they won the lottery with a 1.8 percent chance at the top pick, anyway, so let’s venture into the realm of a Cooper Flagg “What if?” anyways. The Mavericks had one of the NBA’s rising, transcendent superstars in Doncic. They’d managed to snag him without even needing the top pick because somehow, the NBA didn’t trust that an 18-year old who was MVP of the second-best basketball league in the world would…
The conversation around Luka Doncic’s trade from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers is far from over. In the latest development, it has been revealed that the Slovenian point guard signed a Dallas Mavericks jersey with ‘Fire Nico’ printed on it. The jersey is now up for auction, with the current bid at around $1,200. The custom-made jersey is a direct attack on Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison and reportedly comes with a letter of authenticity from JSA. It’s no secret how shocking the trade was for Luka Doncic and Dallas Mavericks fans, despite his contributions in…
The Dallas Mavericks, especially general manager Nico Harrison, have been under fire since trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in February. Fans and media alike were suspicious of the NBA being rigged due to the lack of value they received in return for a generational superstar. The Lakers sent Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick for Doncic and Maxi Kleber. While Davis is a 10-time All-Star, he’s also an injury-prone 32-year-old. Doncic, on the other hand, is 26 and led the Mavericks to the NBA Finals last season. Now, fans are even more suspicious after…
The legendary six-time champion – who is rarely seen or heard on NBA coverage – has been announced as a special correspondent on NBC’s coverage of the league once their new deal begins next season. The broadcaster is returning as a rights-holder of the league as part of the NBA’s new 11-year $76 billion TV deal this fall and they have landed what many consider as the greatest basketball player of all-time. Announcing Jordan as a correspondent at a presentation at Radio City Music Hall, the broadcaster mimicked the famous press release the six-time NBA champion did when he un-retired…
