Fresh off of his fourth ring win, Steph Curry has cemented his status as one of the greatest to play in the NBA. With four championships under his belt and recently crowned the best shooter in the history of the league, the 34-year-old athlete, shows no signs of stopping or competing at an elite level. The 2022 NBA Finals MVP is arguably this generation’s best player in the league, but it appears that he is thinking of life beyond NBA. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Curry revealed that he will play at least four more years, which is the duration of his current contract with the Golden State Warriors. He said, “The championships are just getting in the way,” hoping to still work towards a fifth ring. As he enters his mid-30s, Curry still calls the basketball court “his safe space...

Neighborhood basketball courts are a part of childhood; if its tarmac and nets could talk, one could only imagine the nostalgic stories they could tell. It’s a place for congregation, diversity, integration, education, and fun, and this has inspired Armani Exchange to sponsor the municipalities of Milan to regenerate and breathe life back into five Milanese basketball courts in suburban areas. Parco Sempione, Via San Paolino, Via Pitteri, inside the Vincenzo Muccioli and Alberto Moravia gardens all see their basketball courts get the Armani Exchange makeover. From stormy blue hues decorated with conceptual A|X iconography to bright salmon tones working alongside white hexagons, or others in blue with a honeycomb finish, each is kitted out with a set of new posts and nets, completing the cl...

Shortly after being officially announced, Showtime Sports held a press conference for Paul vs. Silva. Set to take place at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona October 29, the Showtime PPV will see international superstar and undefeated pro boxer Jake “The Problem Child” Paul and UFC legend, now pro boxer, Anderson “The Spider” Silva meet up in the boxing ring. Kicking off the pre-fight promotions for the main event, Anderson’s former MMA rival, Chael Sonnen, hosted the press conference where the two fighters shared respect for one another and offered a number of interesting soundbites. Aside from Silva touching on how blessed he feels to still be involved in combat sports, Jake Paul and brother Logan Paul shared respect for Silva, even sharing how they had the chance to meet the fighter ...

A day after the official press conference for UFC 279 was called off for the first time in history due to a skirmish backstage involving four fighters and reportedly around 100 individuals, more chaos now ensues. Last-minute switches to the main event matchups were made as one of the UFC‘s brightest prospects, Khamzat Chimaev,  missed weight by a shocking 7.5 pounds, tipping in at 178.5 pounds for the middleweight bout. This is the first time that Chimaev has missed weight in the UFC since his debut in 2020 and the nearly 10-pound weight difference, as well as his nonchalant attitude, has many in the community speculating that he may not have planned to make weight in the first place for his headliner against Nate Diaz. In lieu of the news, the UFC quickly set up whole new matchups, b...

In the most recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Steph Curry spoke about which of his NBA championships have meant the most to him. The Golden State Warrior All-Star has without a doubt said that his most meaningful win was “absolutely” the 2021-22 championship. Curry expanded on why he thought so, even alluding to his “ugly crying” moment, “That raw emotion that came out after Game 6 kind of signaled how much this meant to me, how much this meant to our team.” When the buzzer sounded at the end of Game 6, Curry was noticeably emotional after their win against the Boston Celtics. He explained how each of his NBA Championships compared to one another, “The first one, you don’t really know what you’re doing until you accomplish it, and then you’re celebrating. The next two were kind of ...

While many had hoped for Rafael Nadal to extend his all-time Grand Slam record to 23 at the current U.S. Open especially when Novak Djokovic has been ruled out of play, the Spaniard’s fans will no doubt be disappointed that the record holder has just suffered a loss to local hero Frances Tiafoe in the fourth round. Starting the match one set down on 4-6, Nadal managed to rally back in the second set, taking 6-4 with one break. Unfortunately, the momentum shifted back to Tiafoe at this point for the rest of the match, winning the next two sets at 6-4 and 6-3. Tiafoe will now face Russia’s Andrey Rublev in the quarter-finals, with the former becoming the first American men’s player to reach the quarter-finals since John Isner’s run in 2018. “That’s part of my career,” Nadal began explaining ...

After two of Jake Paul‘s scheduled opponents, including Tyson Fury‘s brother Tommy Fury and 12-1 heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr., both pulled out of their scheduled boxing bouts for varying reasons, the younger Paul brother now locks in his next dance partner, UFC great, Anderson “The Spider” Silva. Silva is a future UFC Hall-of-Famer whose impact on mixed martial arts is rivaled by few in the sport. The Brazilian fighter holds the standing UFC record for longest title reign, most consecutive UFC victories, and the most UFC title fights. Known for his creative striking, Silva (34-11 and 1 NC) transitioned from MMA back to boxing in 2021 — securing victories over former middleweight boxing champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and fellow UFC legend Tito Ortiz. At 47 years old, Silva will now face th...

As 37-year-old veteran, Nate Diaz prepares to face off against rising star Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 279 on September 11 in what could potentially be his last fight in the UFC, Diaz announces the launch of his own combat sports promotion, Real Fight Inc. Having built a reputation as one of the most fearless fighters in the business, Diaz’s new promotion looks to stage combat sports exhibitions geared towards boxing, MMA, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the moniker “Real Ninjas. Real Fighters. Real Shit. Real Fight, Inc.” While Diaz only has one bout left in his UFC contract, it looks like the Stockton-based fighter still plans to complete in the sport. “The new venture has no bearing on his status as a fighter, where he will continue to be very active,” Diaz’s team said in a statement. “Re...

Lelands Auctions is giving boxing fans a chance to own one of the most significant pairs of boxing gloves in the history of the sport. The infamous “ear-biting” match between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson still remains one of the most iconic moments in boxing even 25 years later. On November 9, 1996, the two faced off in a Heavyweight match for the first time, where Holyfield knocked down “Iron Mike.” Just seven months later, the two met again in the ring on June 28, 1997, where the duo squared off once again in a highly-anticipated rematch at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Holyfield gained an early advantage that frustrated Tyson and in the third round, Tyson stunned the world by biting off a chunk of his opponent’s ear. It led to Iron Mike’s disqualification and he was fined...
