The definition of a superteam in the NBA for some can be based on the amount of success a team obtains during their time together. Others would define a superteam as the joining of numerous stars with one franchise in order to chase team success and win NBA championships regardless of the outcome. Whatever your definition of a superteam is in the NBA, it is clear that they are alive and well today, or at least the attempts at their formation are. With everyone running to play NBA2K on GM mode, what if we could create the three most unstoppable…

Basketball is a team game, even if we tend to ignore that aspect and praise a single player for his greatness every night. There is never a season in which a player has won an NBA title without help from other players, as teammates must be there for each other during a long 82-game regular season and the playoffs. Even the greatest NBA stars of all-time needed help to win championships, and that will never change. Looking throughout history, every elite NBA superstar has had help when a championship was won. Whether that’s Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, or Bill Russell,…

Here are  gorgeous birth images that capture these incredible ʟᴀʙᴏʀ, ᴅᴇʟɪᴠᴇʀʏ and ᴘᴏsᴛᴘᴀʀᴛᴜᴍ moments along with captions. This…

Imagine going through the ʟᴀʙᴏᴜʀ and birth of your long-awaited baby and finally making it to the finish line, only to find that you actually have to do it all over again! Mom Lyndsey got the sʜᴏᴄᴋ of her life when just two minutes after giving birth to Ada Maze, her sister Billie June arrived. But throughout the ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴄʏ, there were ɴᴏ sɪɢɴs Lyndsey was ᴄᴀʀʀʏɪɴɢ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴛʜᴀɴ ᴏɴᴇ ʙᴀʙʏ.

The Los Angeles Lakers were constantly linked to Kyrie Irving even before the start of the 2022-23 NBA season. The Purple and Gold tried to trade for him on multiple occasions. However, the Brooklyn Nets always denied the offer or countered it by adding impossible demands. Keeping that in mind, around the NBA trade deadline, the Nets wanted a package featuring Austin Reaves to send Irving to the Lakers. But Lakers owner Jeanie Buss was reportedly uninterested in including Reaves in trade packages for Kyrie. “That’s the sense I’ve gotten,” Michael Scotto of HoopsHype said. “You touched on some of the…

The Los Angeles Lakers are desperate, and they will be kicking themselves after their close loss to the Houston Rockets — a clash they should have aced. Now, they have another chance to make things right when they host a short-handed Dallas Mavericks at the Crypto.com Arena on Friday. With Luka Doncic ruled out and Kyrie Irving questionable, the Mavericks will face a tough test against the Lakers, who have been playing impressive basketball without LeBron James. On the other hand, the likes of Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell will be keen to continue their good run and get the ninth-seeded Lakers a rung above…

In a first, scientists have seen direct evidence of active volcanism on Earth’s twin, setting the stage for the agency’s VERITAS mission to investigate. Direct geological evidence of recent volcanic activity has been observed on the surface of Venus for the first time. Scientists made the discovery after poring over archival radar images of Venus taken more than 30 years ago, in the 1990s, by NASA’s Magellan mission. The images revealed a volcanic vent changing shape and increasing significantly in size in less than a year. Venus is sometimes called Earth’s “evil twin” because despite being similar in size and composition to Earth, its surface is incredibly…

Recent simulations of two black holes colliding at close to the speed of light have shed light on the enigmatic physics behind what has been called by one astrophysicist as “one of the most violent events you can imagine in the universe.” “It’s a bit of a crazy thing to blast two black holes head-on very close to the speed of light,” said Thomas Helfer, a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University who produced the simulations. “The gravitational waves associated with the collision might look anticlimactic, but this is one of the most violent events you can imagine in the universe.” The findings, published…

During ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴄʏ, babies are as close to their moms as they can be, getting warmth, food, protection, and ᴏxʏɢᴇɴ from their mother’s body. Then, ʟᴀʙᴏʀ ᴏᴄᴄᴜʀs and babies suddenly find themselves without immediate access to those essential needs. It is not surprising that study after study has shown a host of benefits for babies who experience skin-to-skin care with their mothers. When babies are held naked against their mother’s skin, it is the closest they can get to being back in the warmth and security of the womb. Recently, the emotional moment a newborn baby clings on to her mother’s…

Moms, that first, miraculous moment of holding your newborn is probably seared into your memory. Cradling them, right there, in your arms, forms one of every mom’s most intense experiences. Were you able to freeze that moment in the timeline of your ʙʀᴀɪɴ ᴀɴᴅ ʜᴇᴀʀᴛ or is it all a blur? There’s no feeling that compares to the moment you become a mama, but one that feels just as sweet as seeing your partner with your baby for the first time. Regardless of how your baby came into this world or how this tiny human was created, there’s just something…

The NBA Draft is perhaps the most important part of an offseason and preseason for teams in the associations because drafting the right player completely alters the present and future goals of GMs. That is why the most talented or physically capable player is normally taken out of college with one of the top picks in the draft, and we have normally seen elite success from the guys at the very top, although we have seen some busts. Of course, college (and sometimes high school) players coming into the NBA are young and lack experience, which is why it is…

Dennis Rodman is one of the greatest defensive players to have ever played the game. Considered the greatest rebounder in NBA history and a five-time NBA champion, we have never seen a player who possesses zero offensive threat yet dominated the NBA on a defensive level year after year in his prime. Not to mention, his ability as a 6’7” athlete meant Rodman had incredible stamina, length, and physical ability to bang with bigger players every night. Wilt Chamberlain once averaged 27.2 RPG in a single season and has 11 rebounding titles, but he played in an era where nobody could compare…

The “treasure mountain” is rich in platinum, gold and other precious metal ores, the result of a billion years of geological movement and erosion. According to Siberiantimes, the Kondyor Massif mountain contains many precious metals. About 4 tons of platinum are mined here every year. The Kondyor Massif is located in the remote Khabarovsk region of Russia, 600km southwest of the Sea of Okhotsk and 570km southeast of Yakutsk. This geological structure has a diameter of 8km, a height of 600m, nearly 7 times larger than a meteor crater in Arizona, USA. The Kondyor Massif in a NASA satellite image.…

Stories of cities once inhabited by a race of giants are always fascinating topics. However, they are not easy to find because they cannot suddenly appear. Amazing discoveries require a lot of effort and a lot of luck. If we trust the press of the early 20th century, we know that it will probably lead us to the doorstep of the most famous underground city of giants. According to an article published in the Arizona Daily on April 5, 1909, the Grand Canyon was the repository of the civilization of giants. If such a civilization had ever existed, it would certainly have left…

The site is called Wadi El Hitan, dυbbed the Valley of Whales, located around 160 kilometers from the famous pyramids at Giza. There is an ancient Egyptian desert, once a vast ocean, that guards the secret of one of the most remarkable transformations in the evolution of life on planet Earth. Egypt is known as the land of Pyramids, Pharaohs, and golden sands. Countless jewels have been excavated from beneath Egypt’s sands, revealing a treasure trove of a time long gone. It was home to numerous creatures that have long since been forgotten. One of these massive animals, over 50…

Some exoplanets have one side permanently facing their star while the other side is in perpetual darkness. The ring-shaped border between these permanent day and night regions is called a “terminator zone.” In a new paper in The Astrophysical Journal, physics and astronomy researchers at UC Irvine say this area has the potential to support extraterrestrial life. Credit: Ana Lobo / UCI These in-between regions could be prime sites for liquid water. In a new study, University of California, Irvine (UCI) astronomers describe how extraterrestrial life has the potential to exist on distant exoplanets inside a special area called the “terminator zone,”…

Creating rocky planets is a messy, dangerous, hot business. Planetesimals accrete together, which creates heat and pressure on the newborn world. The nearby adolescent star bombards them with intense radiation. That likely “bakes off” any surface oceans, lakes, or rivers, which is a disaster if you’re looking for places where life might arise or exist. That’s because life needs water and planets around these stars are among the most likely to harbor life. But, that doesn’t look too hopeful if the radiation steams the water away. Scientists at the University of Cambridge in the UK created a complex model that…

One of the most exciting aspects of the current era of space exploration (Space Age 2.0) is how time-honored ideas are finally being realized. Some more well-known examples include retrievable and reusable rockets, retrieval at sea, mid-air retrieval, single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) rockets, and kinetic launch systems. In addition, there are also efforts to develop propulsion systems that do not rely on conventional propellants. This technology offers many advantages, including lower mass and improved energy efficiency, ultimately leading to lower costs. On June 10th, 2023, an all-electrical propulsion system for satellites (the IVO Quantum Drive) will fly to space for the first time.…

Every once in a while, the NBA gets rocked by a scandal that can come with harsh consequences. From owners to players to any team employee, there are a set of rules and guidelines that everyone must follow set in place by the league. This is no different from any other job that one holds in the world as every player and employee represents the NBA as a whole, and reputation falls into their hands. When those rules are violated on an extreme level, the consequences can mean suspension or, even worse, permanent banishment from the league entirely. Today, we…

The goal for every team every season is to make the NBA Finals by all means necessary. It certainly isn’t easy to do so because only one franchise gets the chance to compete for the coveted NBA title. That is why it takes a mix of factors for a team to even get a chance to sniff the Finals, let alone win the award. Perhaps the most important factor is talent because a mix of stars and exceptional role players are needed to make plays on the court. Of course, having one of the best coaches in the league normally…
