When it’s all said and done, LeBron James is going to set statistical marks that are going to be almost impossible for anyone to match. He has played at such a high level for so long and is going to continue doing so for a couple more years at least. He accomplished arguably his most impressive feat earlier this month when he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. Kareem had held the record for nearly 40 years and LeBron might end up holding it for even longer than that. LeBron climbing up to No. 1 in the scoring…

38-year-old Carmelo Anthony is long removed from his prime. In fact, after finishing out his season with the Lakers in 2022, Melo has yet to make an NBA roster and many believe he may never get the chance again. But in a recent chat with Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson, Melo got an endorsement from a surprising superstar: Suns swingman Kevin Durant. Here’s what he said: “I think he has the talent to play in our league,” KD said on the Knicks legend. Anthony wouldn’t be a major piece for any team at this stage of his career, but his experience…

Over his 10-year career so far, NBA point guard Damian Lillard has never abandoned his city. Since being drafted by the Blazers in 2012, he has committed everything to win in Portland and continues to stay loyal to the franchise despite a lack of postseason success. And while fans and experts have been clamoring for him to leave the Blazers, Lillard is tired of others trying to tell him what to do with his career. In his recent appearance on #THISLEAGUE Uncut, Lillard spoke about the campaign to get him out of Oregon and explained once again why he’s not…

Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen are arguably the most celebrated duo in the history of the NBA. Together, they won 6 championships with the Chicago Bulls across 8 seasons. The two might not see eye to eye anymore, but even Michael Jordan once admitted that he would not have been able to achieve everything he did without Scottie Pippen. But where it goes too far sometimes is when fans try to make it out that MJ only won because of Pippen. Michael Jordan came into the league 3 seasons without Scottie Pippen. In the remainder of his career with the Bulls, he…

We have seen some unbelievable talents in recent NBA history. Over the past two decades, guys like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James have stood out thanks to their ability to win rings and be the face of the NBA after taking the torch from Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. MJ is regarded as the best player ever, and every player will be chasing Jordan’s ghost after his success in the league. Meanwhile, Magic’s ability as a point guard and leader was truly unprecedented. Beyond these four dominant talents, other elite superstars have dominated the game in their eras, including but…

Which player is the GOAT of the NBA? This is one of the biggest debates in the NBA community, and over the years, it has only caught more fire. Following LeBron James breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record, the debate is once again getting a lot of attention from the media. Many believe that LeBron James breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record means that the King has also surpassed Michael Jordan as the GOAT of the NBA. It has led to fans getting divided about their GOAT picks between LeBron, Kareem, and Jordan. But is that the best way to decide who is the GOAT?…

The Philadelphia 76ers may have the best team they have ever had to try and clinch an NBA Championship this season. While Philly will be favored behind the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks, it’d be foolish to not consider the 76ers one of the elite contenders in the conference. James Harden and his playmaking brilliance have been one of the main reasons behind this success. However, the 2022-23 Philadelphia 76ers may be the best chance the franchise has to win a title due to the possibility of Harden leaving the team to reunite with the Houston Rockets in the summer. The rumors…

Jupiter is well known for its spectacular aurorae, thanks in no small part to the Juno orbiter and recent images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Like Earth, these dazzling displays result from charged solar particles interacting with Jupiter’s magnetic field and atmosphere. Over the years, astronomers have also detected faint aurorae in the atmospheres of Jupiter’s largest moons (aka. the “Galilean Moons”). These are also the result of interaction, in this case, between Jupiter’s magnetic field and particles emanating from the moons’ atmospheres. Detecting these faint aurorae has always been a challenge because of sunlight reflected from the moons’ surfaces completely washes out their light…

The Los Angeles Lakers just watched the man they were paying $47 million this season be bought out and signed with their rivals, the LA Clippers, on a minimum contract. Russ wasn’t living up to his value with the Lakers, but the Clippers will hope they can get a high return on production for the small contract Russ is on. In addition, the Clippers are a roster with plenty of shooters to help maximize the strengths of Russ’s games. Playlist Error: This content is currently unavailable from within your country. The Lakers and Clippers will face off on April 5th, as the…

Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid are widely considered to be the No. 1 and No. 2 center in the league, in whichever order. Fans often compare the two, but perhaps one day the two centers could team up with one another. When speaking to the media recently, Nikola Jokic described how a partnership between him and Joel Embiid would work on the court. He noted that he loves playing with a “dominant big man”, and also winked when suggesting the two could team up in the future. If it’s a real game I think we can play together. He needs to play four of…

Astronomers have studied the star formation process for decades. As we get more and more capable telescopes, the intricate details of one of nature’s most fascinating processes become clearer. The earliest stages of star formation happen inside a dense veil of gas and dust that stymies our observations. But the James Webb Space Telescope sees right through the veil in its images of nearby galaxies. The PHANGS (Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby Galaxies) collaboration is a large survey of nearby spiral galaxies. Its goal is to ” … understand the interplay of the small-scale physics of gas and star formation…

The All-Star Game had become quite interesting in recent times, with the new format making the end of games quite competitive in the last few editions. But the 2023 All-Star Game was different, with barely any defense played the whole time. It is traditional for the players not to go hard during the showpiece event, but it was still brutal for basketball fans to sit through. The game was described after it was over by Jaylen Brown and Michael Malone as the worst game of basketball ever played. They weren’t happy with the lack of effort from some of the All-Stars, which…

This season’s Kings are given flashbacks to 20 years. The Sacramento Kings are playing some of their best basketball in many years. With the No. 3 seed in hand, the Kings are legitimately challenging the rest of the Western Conference. De’Aaron Fox, Harrison Barnes, and Domantas Sabonis are taking us back to the days of Mike Bibby, Peja Stojakovic, and Chris Webber. The 2002 Kings made their best run to the NBA Finals since 1951. The 2002 Kings finished the regular season with a 61-21 record and won the Pacific Division. The Kings won more games than the Los Angeles Lakers, who…

The NBA All-Star weekend is all about entertainment and putting on a show for the fans, but the fans haven’t been too happy with what they’ve seen in recent years. Sure, everyone loves the 3-point contest, but the dunk contest and the All-Star game itself haven’t lived up to expectations. While the dunk contest was a hit this time around, thanks to Mac McClung, the game ended up being a dud. There was no defense played whatsoever, and Team Giannis won 184-175. There was a whole lot more interest in the draft prior to the game than the game itself,…

As most of us are aware, basketball is a team sport that relies on all five players on the court coming together, playing their roles well, and executing to near perfection in order to be successful. Basketball is the ultimate team sport where even one weak spot can be exposed and it can all fall apart from there in an instant. The key to any great team success begins with the backcourt. Often referred to as the first line of defense, the backcourt can make or break a possession depending on if they can either contain a defender on defense…

Excited dinosaur watchers are rushing to Dinosaur Valley in Texas, which was like a prehistoric highway in the early Cretaceous Period. One of the previously discovered theropod dinosaur footprints discovered at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas. Image credit: Dinosaur Valley State Park This summer, devastating droughts have revealed many ancient wonders, such as the Spanish Stonehenge, or the ruins of a 3400-year-old city in Iraq, and Texas is no exception. The severe lack of rain there has allowed us a rare glimpse at some 113-million-year-old dinosaur tracks preserved in stone, before they’ll soon disappear from our eyes again. The…

A hair sample from an ancient trophy head found buried in Peru reveals that the victim consumed a psychoactive plant prior to death. Two of the trophy heads, one of a child and one of a woman, were part of an ancient ceremony performed in what is now Peru. (Image credit: Dagmara Socha) Thousands of years ago, a child in Peru was sacrificed as part of an ancient ritual, their head severed at the neck and made into a type of trophy. A new analysis of a single hair plucked from the mummy’s skull reveals that the child consumed a…

Jayson Tatum just tried saving one of the most lackluster All-Star games in recent years. This year’s contest saw many top players get ruled out due to injury, before and during the game. Along with other superstars like Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic simply not trying to have strong performances, someone needed to step up and give the crowd the entertainment they deserve. Jayson Tatum answered that call with a record-setting 55 points, the most in All-Star game history. He was crucial in Team Giannis ending Team LeBron’s winning streak of All-Star wins, with James now having a 5-1 record at the event.…

Nikola Jokic was one of the final picks from the starter pool at the 2023 All-Star Weekend, becoming the fifth player to join Team LeBron James. Nikola Jokic hilariously stepped up and jokingly made LBJ pick him ahead of Lauri Markkanen, who was the final pick from the starters. However, his performance explained his low status, scoring just 4 points on 4 attempts during the game. Playlist Error: This content is currently unavailable from within your country. After the game, Jokic explained that his play style doesn’t carry over well to the All-Star game and he wouldn’t have drafted himself either.…
