Former All-Pro NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has recently appeared to shift his football priorities to his new found venture with Donda Sports and the release of his new album in April. While football may no longer be at the top of mind for Antonio Brown, the WR recently stated in a Twitter post that he wants to retire as a Pittsburgh Steeler. While retirement seems to be on his mind, he wanted to clarify that he does not want to play and only wants to “Retire A Steeler.” Brown spent his first nine NFL seasons as a Steeler. During his time with Pittsburgh, Brown was also a seven-time Pro Bowler, four-time All-Pro and a member of the Hall of Fame All 2010s team. He later forced a trade that ended his Steelers tenure and joined the Raiders, then the New England Patriots in 2019. He later j...

Luka Doncic led the Dallas Mavericks to a blow out win against the Phoenix Suns to advance to the NBA 2021 Western Conference Finals. The Mavs dominated the entire game with a 123-90 win in Game 7. By halftime, the Suns only had 27 points, shooting a 24.4% season-low from the field. Doncic himself put up 27 points in the first half alone, placing the Mavs ahead with a 30-point lead, the largest ever Game 7 halftime lead. By the end of the fourth quarter, the Mavs led by 42 points, the largest deficit the Suns have faced all season. While Doncic finished the game with 35 points, 10 rebounds and four assists, Spencer Dinwiddie scored 30 points off the bench. Suns’ stars Devin Booker and CP3 were unable to connect, both shooting a combined 0-for-11 from the arc. Booker finished the game with ...

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks may have ended their 2022 NBA season journey, but the Greek Freak isn’t going out without setting a new record. As confirmed by the NBA, Antetokounmpo is the first player in history to earn 237 points, 103 rebounds and 50 assists in a series. For Game 7 of the Milwaukee Bucks versus Boston Celtics playoffs matchup, he scored 25 points, 20 rebounds and nine assists. Unfortunately, the Celtics bested the Bucks 109-81 — effectively ending the reign of the 2021 NBA Champions. Boston is now set to face Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat for the Eastern Conference Finals. Giannis Antetokounmpo is the first player to have 200+ points, 100+ rebounds, and 50+ assists in a series. #NBA75 pic.twitter.com/bVDNqb15zp — NBA History (@NBAHistory) May 15, 2022 In...

Almost a year ago, YouTuber turned boxer Logan Paul challenged legendary fighter Floyd Mayweather to an exhibition bout. The fight that saw Mayweather come out of retirement and back into the ring sold over one million pay-per-views, and resulted in great disappointment going all eight rounds and without a clear knockout win. Although the exact details of how much Paul made have not been disclosed, his brother Jake Paul, told the media back in February that Mayweather still owes his brother somewhere between $5 and $10 million USD. TMZ recently caught up with Logan outside the Hard Rock Hotel in New York and asked if Mayweather has paid him yet. Logan responded to the outlet, “No, he has not paid me in full. That is a fact. Short a few mil.” When asked if there was a chance that the two fi...

It may have been relatively sunny in the Boston area today, but it was raining three’s inside the TD Garden. Having gone into the second half down by five, the Boston Celtics stormed into the remainder of the game to blow out the Milwaukee Bucks by nearly 30 points. And just like that, there will be a new NBA champion this season. No matter who was shooting — Jayson Tatum, Marcus Smart, or the unlikeliest of heroes, Grant Williams — the C’s were making this more of a party than a heated game seven. Although Giannis Antetokounmpo was making his mark early on through 25 points, 20 rebounds and nine assists, the star forward seemed to have disappeared in the second half — thanks to Williams, who provided stiff defense on Giannis and scoring a career-high 27 points himself. Welcome to the Gran...

McLaren has now confirmed previous rumors by officially announcing that it’ll be joining Formula E in 2023. The decision marks yet another expansion in the British automaker’s racing division, which currently encompasses Formula 1, IndyCar and Extreme E. Instead of creating its own team from scratch, however, McLaren will be acquiring the Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team, absorbing the reigning ABB FIA Formula E World Championship team into its roster. Its debut into the all-electric motorsport circuit will also coincide with Formula E’s introduction of its Gen3 racer, which the organization has dubbed its “fastest, most efficient and sustainable race car yet.” “As with all forms of the sport we participate in, Formula E has racing at the centre but will be strategically, commercially and techni...

Jürgen Klopp’s mighty Liverpool side is now one step closer to realizing their quadruple dreams after taking home the FA Cup on Saturday against Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea. Almost a repeat of the League Cup final earlier in February, the Merseyside team and London’s favorite played all 90 minutes without a goal scored despite Liverpool’s dominance throughout much of the match, recording 17 shots and 53% possession over Chelsea’s 10 shots and 47% possession. Only two shots were on target for each side, and without any goals to celebrate, the game progressed to penalty shootouts, where the Reds took home its second major title this year once again with a 6-5 victory over the Blues. With the EFL Cup and FA Cup now secure, Liverpool is inching ever closer to its historic quadruple, an achievement...

How do you take a classic and make it better? It seems that Victor Solomon has done that by subtly redesigning the NBA’s top honors. Having already rolled out a number of new trophies, including the awards for the NBA All-Star weekend and the D-League, the Los Angeles-based artist has crafted a suite of new trophies, from the Conference Championship to the new-look Larry O’Brien trophy. Starting with the Conference finals, the silhouette has been evolved conceptually through a quartered ball with each segment representing one step in the journey. The NBA is also introducing for the first time, two new honors for Conference finals MVPs named after Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Following up to the the NBA Finals, the prestigious Larry O’Brien trophy is re-orientated to be pitched forward – s...

Charles Barkley will be opening up the discussion of what it means to be basketball’s greatest of all the time in the upcoming Turner Sports documentary, The Great Debate. Set to premiere on May 18 — just before Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Western Conference Finals — The Great Debate “seeks to reframe the classic debate about basketball’s greatest of all time by redefining the very concept of ‘greatness,’” and arrives months after October 2021’s 75 Greatest Players in NBA History list, which includes Barkley himself.
