No LeBron James’ record doesn’t sound absurd at this point in his career. His longevity has been incredible, he has been the face of the league for almost all of the 2000s. LBJ is extremely close to breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record for most points scored in NBA history, it’s merely a matter of when not if. But this isn’t his only major record, James has done some truly unbelievable stuff during his career. LeBron James recently passed Oscar Robertson for an extremely unique record after he dropped a massive 40-point performance on his birthday. When a player has been at the top for…

Shaquille O’Neal was flummoxed when he saw a Top 10 list of NBA players that didn’t have the late Kobe Bryant as part of it. The former Los Angeles Lakers big man took to social media to share the graphic of the ‘Top 10 All-Time’ from the page ‘Playmaker’ that shed his two cents on the fact that it didn’t have Bryant on it. The list comprised LeBron James (listed No. 1 over Michael Jordan) and then had Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant as part of the ten — something O’Neal found shocking. y’all agree with this, i don’t they missing main man KOBE what yall…

The tragedy that occurred on January 26, 2020, is still a wound that won’t close for basketball fans worldwide. Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest talents the NBA has ever seen, passed away in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. What made the news even sadder was the fact that Kobe’s daughter, Gianna Bryant, was also with him. She was only 13 years old. Along with the Bryants were John and Keri Altobelli, their daughter, Alyssa; Sarah Chester and her daughter, Payton; and Christina Mauser, who was an assistant coach. The pilot, Ara Zobayan, was also killed in the crash.…

The 2023 NBA season is well underway, and the league has changed thanks to constant movements by players across teams and conferences. We are living in a time where players simply can’t stay put as they look for greener pastures, while general managers and executives are also unafraid to make blockbuster deals at any given moment. For those fans that love to see exciting trades and free agency signings every year, the NBA is delivering just that at the moment. Looking ahead to the rest of this season and even going forward, it is anticipated that there will be more…

In today’s NBA, the 3-point field goal is a primary offensive factor. In the last decade, teams have taken advantage of the shot that gives an extra point. Don’t believe us? The numbers prove that teams are making 1,000 more three-pointers compared to when the three-point line was unveiled before the 1979-80 season. What makes the 3-point field goal special is that it is one more point than a regular field goal and two more points than a free throw. Teams are starting to recognize the math and have used it to help with their offensive showcase. The three-point line…

The Golden State Warriors were in very high spirits leading into the 2022-23 NBA season. The defending champions had brought back most of the key pieces from their title run and looked to dominate the league once again when disaster seemingly struck. Just a couple of weeks before the start of the season, Jordan Poole and Draymond Green got into an altercation during practice that ended with Green punching Poole in the face. While the general public, at first, had no idea how severe it was, a video was eventually leaked to TMZ and the situation got a whole lot worse. Many wondered if the…

Unless you pay no attention whatsoever to sports talk shows, you’d know that Shannon Sharpe is one of the biggest LeBron James fans around. The NFL Hall of Famer has had a great transition to television and on his Undisputed show on FS1, Sharpe has been very vocal about his support for LeBron. He often clashes with his co-host Skip Bayless, one of LeBron’s biggest critics, on topics regarding the King and their show has gained a lot of popularity. With the Lakers taking on the Atlanta Hawks, Sharpe decided to head over to Crypto.com Arena and LeBron showed him some love after the…

Researchers digging in the ancient city of Aizanoi have announced the discovery of many new artifacts and works. But the discovery of an “almost intact” statue of a giant man with one foot takes the archaeological biscuit. At this site, that’s listed on the  UNESCO World Heritage  Tentative List , over the years archaeologists have unearthed ancient stone heads and bodies depicting Greek gods and goddesses such as  Eros, Dionysus, Aphrodite and the demigod  Herakles. This season, archaeologists greatly added to their expanding haul from this site and they have announced the discovery of “many large and small pieces of marble sculptures,” including an “almost intact” giant man carved in…

An ancient fountain that was destroyed in a 23 BC earthquake has been restored in Turkey’s “City of Gladiators.’ Now, the two millennia old water font is streaming drinkable water again, just as it did some 2,000-years ago. Unearthing Turkey’s Ancient City Of Gladiators The ancient city of Kibyra, or Cibyra Magna, is situated in the township of Gölhisar in the southwestern Burdur Province of Turkey. In ancient times it represented the capital city of an independent state known as Cibyratis, that lay just outside the north-western limits of the ancient province of Lycia, that thrived in Anatolia from 15-14th centuries BC,…

In Trondheim, Norway, a skeleton was discovered at the bottom of an old castle well, which served as evidence confirming a story from the old Viking sagas. The saga in question is Sverre’s Saga, which is a chronicle about a Norwegian king. Indeed, it is actually one of the very few that describes the events of the Viking Age and Medieval times in Norway. Until this discovery, there remained doubts about whether the stories of the saga were true. This finding, however, shows that the saga’s story has at least some truth to it. As the project leader at the site, Anna Petersén…

It started with fertility challenges and then when they were pregnant with twins it ended up being a miscarriage which was very disappointing to the couple. Followed by other miscarriages. Chad and Amy Kempel were finally able to have two healthy children. As happy as they were, they wanted a few more kids. Eventually, Amy was pregnant again and this time with more children than they imagined. 5, at one time. That’s right. Quintuplets.   He adds: “In that moment there when the ultrasound shows up on the screen. Every couple should be happy about that moment. Not have their…

Twins are often a form of fascination for many. Perhaps it’s the beauty of seeing two people bonded in the womb, and the way that unique bond continues throughout their lives. Caroline Giguere and Candice Hipp are twins, born just minutes apart. The sisters grew up together and now live across the street from each other. For the past nine months, they’ve been pregnant together. And, in adjacent hospital rooms in Greenville, they gave birth on the same day, 35 minutes apart. Even during labor in separate rooms, the twins found a way to be there for each other through…

According to Dr. Jessica Highfill, MD at Tanana Valley Clinic OBGYN & Women’s Health, the odds of having not just triplets, but identical triplets, is amazingly low. “It was such an amazing experience to help take care of and deliver these amazing girls! Triplets are incredibly rare, less than 0.1% of pregnancies. This is the second set of triplets I have delivered in Fairbanks in the last 2 years. I’m so honored to be part of their care and it was such a pleasure to take care of this family.”   Photo credits: Kaylee Morton The parents, Kaylee and Nigel…

The grandmother, Kristine Casey, was the surrogate mother for her daughter, Sara Connell, SO she could have a grandchild. This is not some sleazy tabloid  story you would find in the Enquirer. Sara had three failed pregnancies and had given up on having a child naturally. Of course grandmother Kristine isn’t the oldest mom by far BUT she is the first to have her own grandchild. Sara Connell and her husband, Bill, are the biological parents of the child Casey carried, which grew from an embryo created from the Chicago couple’s egg and sperm. The Connells decided in 2004 to…

The way that the game of basketball is being played in the NBA right now has changed beyond recognition over the last few years or so. Nowadays, most players heavily rely on shooting well from beyond the three-point line and chuck a lot of three-pointers. This transition has made some old-school coaches, such as Gregg Popovich very angry. But it is something that the entire league has now adapted to, and every NBA franchise today wants to have elite players who can shoot well from deep. However, it doesn’t mean there aren’t players who struggle to shoot from deep. 20…

The 2023 NBA season is well underway, and we have a pretty good indication of what players and teams are the creams of the crop in terms of talent and success. We also have an idea of which players will achieve which awards and accolades and what teams will likely end the year on the most positive note. As such, it is time to make the season’s major predictions as we continue marching on toward the All-Star Break. It is never easy to make predictions, especially in the modern NBA, where so many variables come into play, but it must…

The Portland Trail Blazers were founded in 1969 and made their NBA debut in 1970. Just 7 seasons later, they would win their first and only NBA championship when Bill Walton led them to victory in 1977. Aside from that championship run, the Trail Blazers have come close to losing Finals series in 1990 and 1992 but have yet to capture another coveted Larry O’Brien Trophy. They have a track record of drafting exceptional talents such as Bill Walton, Damian Lillard, Clyde Drexler, and LaMarcus Aldridge but have yet to put all of the pieces together to win another championship. The…

Magic Johnson is one of the legends of the Los Angeles Lakers. He was the focal point of the Showtime Lakers and helped the Purple and Gold win five NBA Championships during his stint with the organization. Considering he was a legend of the franchise, Johnson stayed connected with the team even after retiring from the NBA. For a brief time, Magic Johnson also served as the general manager for the Lakers. Although his time as an executive was short and full of chaos, the biggest thing Magic did as the GM for the Lakers was signing LeBron James. After LeBron’s second stint…

Madison and Justin Collier were preparing their home to welcome what they thought would be their second and final addition to their metro Atlanta family when they found out that they’d have to make more room than expected. Madison Collier went to the doctor for a regular checkup without her husband and got some news she wouldn’t have guessed in a million years: she was pregnant with four babies, not one.   Photo credits: Collier Quads Collier’s first clue that something was unusual was when the doctor asked if she was on any fertility drugs. She wasn’t. Collier’s husband, Justin,…

Your 20s – a time for discovering who you are, no doubt making some bad decisions, finding your passions and learning new skills. It can be an eye-opening and exciting time in your life, overwhelming on occasion and confusing as well – but I got all that and much more when I spontaneously conceived twins just 3 days after my 20th birthday. I remember making a joke to my partner; “You know, twins run in my family.” I taunted, as I mentioned how quickly my symptoms had set in. “Ha, right.” It became an inside joke for the next three…

Jamie and Skyler Scott got married in 2004 and soon welcomed their first child, Shayden, who was born in 2005. A few years later, Jamie gave birth to her second son, Landon. For five years, the couple desperately tried to have another baby.  Photo credits: FiveTwoLove They searched for a fertility specialist and during the second round of treatment, they hit the jackpot — but maybe not in the way everyone expected. At just 19 weeks, Jamie already looked nine months pregnant! Her bump had gotten so big so quickly that she could no longer walk and needed a wheelchair…
