While there were elite anomalies at that position in terms of being offensively skilled superstars, power forwards were generally regarded as big men who were tasked with playing hard. Of course, the modern power forward might be the most important position in the game because of floor-spacing. With centers in the middle, it is often the smart thing to do to have 4 shooters on the court at the minimum. Po…

By Wilton Jackson Aliyah Boston is a double-double machine, TikTok queen and the biggest reason South Carolina has been No. 1 all season. Nine-year-old Aliyah Boston stood at the free throw line while her teammates prepared to box out in a game in the U.S. Virgin Islands’s sports, park and recreation league. She converted a pair of free throws, having now scored all 50 of her team’s points. But in the final minutes, Boston fouled out, forced to watch the rest from the bench. Immediately after her departure, a player on the opposing team converted a shot, sending Boston’s team to a 52–50 loss. …

By Robert O’Connell Twenty years ago, MJ returned to the NBA hardwood as a Wizard, providing an essential glimpse into his unique greatness. Two months into the season, Michael Jordan looked bad. This is not to say he had looked bad for the whole of his first 26 games with the Wizards; that was a matter of some debate. The numbers were forgiving from some angles (23 points, six rebounds and five assists a night) and harsher from others (a shooting percentage that nudged just up above 40). The Wizards, who had set playoff qualification as a reasonable benchmark of comeback-season success, sat a…

By Kevin Hanson In The MMQB’s first full look at the opening round, the Commanders are the first team to select a quarterback. Here’s our projection for all 32 picks. View the original article to see embedded media. Slotting the top-ranked quarterback prospect to the team with the first pick is typically step one of creating an NFL mock draft. In fact, a quarterback has kicked things off in 18 of the past 24 drafts, including each of the past four years. After selecting Trevor Lawrence No. 1 last year, the Jaguars clearly won’t use the top pick on a quarterback again. Given how quarterbacks ar…

By Aikansh Chaudhary View the original article to see embedded media. When Stephen Curry entered the league, there was hardly anyone who believed in him to become one of the greatest players that the league has ever seen. Through his hard work and amazing skill set, Steph achieved that label and will unarguably go down as the best shooter to ever play in the league. Apart from gathering individual accolades, Curry has helped the Golden State Warriors to become one of the most amazing teams of our generation. We are sure that every NBA fan of this generation remembers the dominance of the Warri…

Leaders of Israeli settler groups are pushing for the Israeli government to demolish a Palestinian Bedouin village east of Jerusalem, local media and Palestinian observers have said. Settler leaders want the government to follow through on their plan to raze the village of Khan Al-Ahmar and re-install it some 300 metres away, Israeli media reported Tuesday. The Israeli supreme court gave the government the green light to demolish Khan Al-Ahmar in 2018, to international condemnation. Criticism grew louder after Israeli forces repeatedlyarrested and dispersed activists who protested the ruling. …

The NHL’s Western Conference powers are muscling up for the postseason push. The Vegas Golden Knights will plug elite center Jack Eichel into their starting lineup Wednesday. Eichel, acquired earlier this season from the hapless Buffalo Sabres, has finally recovered from neck surgery. The streaking Calgary Flames sent first- and fifth-round draft picks plus winger prospect Emil Heineman and spare forward Tyler Pitlick to the Montreal Canadiens Monday for former 30-goal scorer Tyler Toffoli. Meanwhile the Colorado Avalanche are sending “all-in” signals around the league, triggering speculation …
