Michael Jordan set the record for most points in a playoff game in the 1986 NBA playoffs. He poured 63 points for the Chicago Bulls in Game 2 of the first-round series against the Boston Celtics, and nobody came close ever since. According to Kevin McHale, MJ’s scoring outburst happened because the league-leading Celtics were overconfident they could handle the lowly Bulls. After seeing Jordan get hot, however, they had to dig deep. “K.C. Jones said we better double-team that guy because he’s a lot better than we thought he was,” McHale told Dan Patrick at the Dan Patrick Show.…
The hottest topic in the NBA is still the swap between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers, sending Luka Doncic to LA and Anthony Davis to Dallas. That trade happened nearly four weeks ago but it’s still the only thing people want to talk about because it was that stunning of a deal given that Doncic is 25 years old, has made five First-Team All-NBAs in a row, and just led the Mavericks to the NBA Finals last season. Both Mavericks GM Nico Harrison and Lakers GM Rob Pelinka expressed that the deal was kept between themselves and the…
Dallas Mavericks vs. Milwaukee Bucks This evening at the American Airlines Center, we are set for a real basketball thriller. The “Dallas Mavericks” host the “Milwaukee Bucks” in a game that promises to be one of the most intriguing encounters of this regular season stretch. On one side is Kyrie Irving, who continues to orchestrate the Mavericks’ offense with magic, while on the other is Giannis Antetokounmpo, whose dominance on the court sends shivers down the spine of any opponent. Both teams are dealing with significant injury woes, which could greatly impact the balance of power in this showdown. Dallas…
AC Milan managed to dig themselves an even bigger hole for themselves following their visit to Bologna, losing the game, meaning Champions League football is not within reach as things stand. After the rather disappointing performance against Torino, Milan played just as poorly, if not worse, against Bologna, creating very little in the process and scoring thanks to some individual brilliance from Rafael Leao. A hot topic was the refereeing decisions throughout the game which, without a doubt, frustrated the Rossoneri players in the process, especially with the equaliser where a handball was pretty obvious to all except the refereeing…
It is no secret that Barcelona remain focused on strengthening their attack and continue to monitor Rafael Leao as a potential signing. The Portuguese forward has been a crucial figure for AC Milan, but his future could take a new turn if the Catalan club manages to execute their transfer strategy. Interestingly, reports from Fichajes suggest Barcelona are considering offering Ferran Torres as part of the deal, along with a payment of €40 million—an offer that Milan are reportedly open to evaluating. Barcelona like Leao Leao has established himself as one of the most exciting players in Serie A, known for his…
Manchester City are now showing concrete interest in a defender, whose price tag has now dropped by £12.5m, but there may be competition for his signature from Real Madrid, according to a report. Kyle Walker joining AC Milan on loan last month could spell the end for the right-back at the Etihad Stadium, and Pep Guardiola has started to work on finding a replacement, with widespread reports linking Newcastle United’s Tino Livramento with a move. Not only is Pep looking to strengthen at right-back, but the manager is also keen to bolster his options on the opposite side, with Juventus’…
AS Roma seem unstoppable right now but Como are coming off back-to-back wins over Napoli and Fiorentina. One more win and Come will surely guarantee their stay in Serie A for another season. It’s perfectly reasonable to say that Claudio Ranieri’s Roma are playing the best football in Serie A right now. The Wolves continue their climb and are now just four points off the Top 6. Their last loss at home was almost three months ago in the first home game since the appointment of the Italian. Since then, Roma have just three losses in all competitions – to…
Joao Felix has once again been heavily criticised in the Italian media following another poor performance on Thursday night. The on-loan AC Milan star was anonymous during his side’s 2-1 defeat to Bologna as the Rossoneri suffered their second consecutive Serie A loss, leaving them languishing down in eighth place in the Italian top flight standings. Felix joined Milan on loan from Chelsea during the January transfer window, but his form has been largely abject since scoring a delicate chip on his debut for the club. The Portugal international has failed to provide a goal or an assist in six…
Turning their attention towards the summer transfer window, Arsenal are now reportedly looking to hijack AC Milan’s move to sign a defensive reinforcement alongside interest in Matheus Cunha. All but down and out in the Premier League title race thanks to knockout blows from West Ham United and Nottingham Forest, Arsenal’s task is clearer than ever this summer. They must rebuild Mikel Arteta’s attack. That must be their priority if they want to finally end their wait for England’s biggest honour for the first time in over two decades. With that priority in mind, it’s no surprise that the rumours…
Ukrainian and AC Milan legend Andriy Shevchenko left no doubt when asked who he believes is the greatest soccer player in history, naming Lionel Messi as the GOAT of the sport. Andriy Shevchenko is widely regarded as the greatest Ukrainian player of all time. A prolific striker who enjoyed success with Dynamo Kyiv and Chelsea, he cemented his legacy at AC Milan, where he won the UEFA Champions League in 2003 and the Ballon d’Or in 2004. The legendary forward made it clear who he thinks deserves the title of the greatest player in soccer history. In a 2022 interview…
