In what comes as news that no Los Angeles Lakers fans want to hear, the team has just a 1% chance of winning the NBA Finals this season. But it’s all not bad news in its entirety, as the analytics site, FiveThirtyEight gives LA a 53% chance of making the playoffs. It should be worth noting that their dismal start to the season, followed by a string of losses in between didn’t really give them significant chances of making the postseason. The projection aside, the Lakers’ current run of form, largely buoyed by the additions they made ahead of the trade deadline…

Michael Jordan is well-known for what he did on the court with the Chicago Bulls, but he is also the current governor of the Charlotte Hornets. However, it seems as though he may not be the majority owner of the team for much longer. A recent report from Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN revealed that Michael Jordan is in serious talks to “sell a majority stake” in the Hornets to a group led by Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall, who are both minority owners on other franchises. There is no doubt that this is a huge deal, and this happening was definitely unexpected. However,…

Who is the greatest basketball player of all time? This has been an ongoing debate for several years now, and there are three major contenders: Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and LeBron James. Former NBA superstar Isiah Thomas shared his thoughts on the ever-so-exciting GOAT debate in a one-on-one talk with Karl Malone. In the clip, Thomas revealed how he changed his preference for the GOAT from Michael Jordan to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to then LeBron James. “When you say the greatest of all time, first I started with Michael,” Thomas said. “I remember looking directly in his eyes, and it was like whatever you do, whatever…

It’s one thing to talk trash and big, and then it’s another to back up the big talk. Devin Booker could perhaps keep that in mind the next time he squares off, rubs his opposition up, and then his moves backfire flush on his face — and it’s happened thrice this season already. To start with, the first instance was when he decided to take on Luka Doncic. The Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns squared off in the playoffs last season and the Sun’s guard was relentless with his chirping, including making fun of Doncic’s actions when fouled. https://youtu.be/akvP0HCw_5o Then came the Slovenian…

The sight of an animal suffering is one of the most awful sights that we have ever seen. When we hear stories about animals that relocate our hearts, it makes it difficult for us to move on without wondering if they had a pleased ending. That’s can also be the reason we feel relieved once we see animal-lovers and rescuers selflessly assist these poor animals. A mother canine called Hope and her puppies are the subjects of this story. Hope and her children had a difficult period before the canine gave birth. That is when an animal rights activist took…

According to a new study, scientists have pinpointed a solar radio burst in the Sun’s atmosphere that exhibits a signal pattern similar to that of a heartbeat. An international team of researchers has published their discovery of the source location of a radio signal emanating from a C-class solar flare over 5,000 kilometers above the surface of the Sun in the journal Nature Communications. Researchers say the study’s findings could help scientists better understand the physical processes behind the energy release of solar flares — the solar system’s most powerful explosions. “The discovery is unexpected,” said Sijie Yu, the study’s corresponding…

Sand dunes of many shapes and sizes are common on Mars. In this example, the dunes are almost perfectly circular, which is unusual. They are still slightly asymmetrical, with steep slip faces on the south ends. This indicates that sand generally moves to the south, but the winds may be variable. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona This is part of a series of images (see above) to monitor how frost disappears in the late winter; this observation appears to be free of frost. A previous image (below) shows when the surface was covered by frost. Circular sand dunes on Mars captured by…

Star on the brink of going supernova spotted by James Webb Space Telescope The unprecedented observations were made possible thanks to James Webb’s powerful infrared vision. NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Webb ERO Production Team. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a stunning view of an exceptionally massive and hot star that’s well on its way to going supernova. The star, Wolf-Rayet 124 (WR 124), is located some 15,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagitta the Arrow. Wolf-Rayet stars like WR 124 are a special breed. These objects are some of the brightest, most massive, and hottest stars in…

12 mysterious and strange things found under the ocean that you can’t get into your eyes. https://youtu.be/fyD2zgthPWM As we all know, the scientific world never stands still and they are busy searching and discovering the mysterious things. However, in fact, people have only discovered 5% of the world under water. That means beneath the vast and vast oceans there are millions of secret things that are being hid.

We came upon something that may very well be a big hint, proof left as to the process of building of numerous ancient sites found all over the world while examining the many baffling sites we have yet to cover on our channel. For a long time, our channel has promoted the idea that a highly evolved, global civilization previously existed on our planet. Many of the ancient ruins with mysterious construction are said to have been left by this vanished tribe from the distant past. And if you start looking at these ruins with this potential in mind, you’ll…

The Memphis Grizzlies are one of the youngest franchises in the NBA. The Grizzlies were founded in 1995 by Orca Bay Sports and Entertainment, the same group that owns the Vancouver Canucks of the NHL. The team was led by Bryant Reeves, who was known as “Big Country.” Vancouver was not a competitive team at all, finishing with the worst record in the league in their first season with a 15-67 record. https://youtu.be/Bmig8qbPPUg Despite the poor play, the team saw modest attendance at their games. This would change during the 1999-00 season. The Grizzlies’ attendance was ranked 20th out of…

One of the biggest ‘what-ifs?’ in NBA history is about the 2011 trade that would have sent Chris Paul to become Kobe Bryant’s co-star on the Lakers. David Stern ended up vetoing the trade as the league controlled Paul’s New Orleans Hornets, dealing CP3 to the Clippers instead. Gilbert Arenas revealed the Lakers’ grand plan at the time and how he could’ve also been a part of that infamous trade. “Chris Paul is being traded for Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom, on the back end you have Dwight Howard being negotiated for Bynum. They’re trying to figure out whether to amnesty me…

It is amazing how global the NBA has become, as America is no longer the largest nation when it comes to dominating hoops. There is steep competition right now more than ever, as we have seen from countries such as Spain, France, and Australia. Specifically, France recently finished runner-up to the United States in the 2020 Olympics and is a major basketball nation even though they are a dominant force in soccer as well. We have already seen how many great Spanish players played in the NBA, but who are the greatest French players in NBA history? France has had a great…

Throughout basketball history, the players who are considered to be the greatest that ever played all have one thing in common. They all elevated their games to legendary heights on the biggest stage that the game has to offer, the NBA Finals. Every player that gets debated as the GOAT or in someone’s top 10 players of all-time list, has given the performances of a lifetime in the NBA Finals and was the main contributing factor on a championship team multiple times in their career. There is a reason the 10 players below make up the majority of the top…

Michael Jordan is widely regarded as the greatest player of all time by most fans, and it’s mostly because of his time with the Chicago Bulls. Following his second retirement with the Bulls, Jordan made a brief comeback to the league when he joined the Washington Wizards ahead of the 2001-02 NBA season. Most usually try to forget his time with the Wizards, as Jordan was unarguably out of his prime. Despite that, in his last season with the Wizards, Jordan had one of the best seasons for a player who turned 40 years old. So much so that MJ…

With the big event only two years away, it’s time to start planning now.  Cowboy Nicolas Silva enjoys his view of the total solar eclipse on July 2, 2019, from atop a mountain ridge near Cabalgatas Altos de Cochiguaz, a ranch in Chile’s Elqui Valley.Rick Armstrong1. Take eclipse day off — now! You may think two years is a bit of a long lead time, and, unless you work for a magazine called Astronomy, it may be. The point to consider is that April 8, 2024, may turn out to be the most popular vacation-day request in history. If not now,…

A mother’s love is always pure and sacred. Whether human or animal. All the love of a mother for her child is the most unconditional and warmest.

In the ancient city of Sagalassos in southwestern Türkiye, archaeologists have identified an unusual burial practice from the early Roman imperial period, consisting of deliberately bent nails, covering tiles, and a layer of lime. A team of archaeologists from KU Leuven and the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, both in Belgium, have published their new work in the journal Antiquity. Unearthed at the famed archaeological site of Sagalassos in the Türkiye’s southwest, the tomb, which dates back to A.D. 100-150, contains evidence to suggest that the people of the time were terrified that the dead might rise up from…

A huge burial site dating back to the fall of the Roman Empire in Britain has been unearthed in Leeds. The remains of 61 bodies were found at the hidden cemetery, in what is being hailed as a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ discovery. It had been marked for development and underwent a standard archaeological survey before the excavation. But it’s historical significance was revealed by the detection of a lead coffin, showing someone of importance was buried there. This turned out to be a high-status Roman woman who died 1,600 years ago. David Hunter, principal archaeologist for West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service, said:…

Worlds larger than Earth and smaller than Neptune, super-Earths are absent from our solar system. But evidence suggests they are quite common in the Milky Way.  Gliese 876 d, seen here in this artist’s concept, was the first super-Earth discovered around a main-sequence star. The Neptune-like planet orbits a red dwarf star some 15 light-years from Earth.Trent Schindler (NSF) There are countless worlds beyond our own in the universe’s vast expanse. And among the most intriguing are super-Earths, a type of exoplanet that has captured the attention of scientists and stargazers alike since their initial discovery more than a decade ago. Super-Earths are defined as…

There’s something menacing about red dwarfs. Human eyes are accustomed to our benevolent yellow Sun and the warm light it shines on our glorious, life-covered planet. But red dwarfs can seem moody, ill-tempered, and even foreboding. For long periods of time, they can be calm, but then they can flare violently, flashing a warning to any life that might be gaining a foothold on a nearby planet. Red dwarfs (M dwarfs) are the most common type of star in the Milky Way. This means that most exoplanets orbit red dwarfs, not nice, well-behaved G-type stars like our Sun. As astronomers…
