LeBron James recently made his 18th-consecutive appearance as an All-Star starter in Cleveland, Ohio. The Athletic caught up with James on his return to Cleveland and asked him if he has considered coming back to play. James said, “The door’s not closed on that. I’m not saying I’m coming back and playing, I don’t know. I don’t know what my future holds. I don’t even know when I’m free.” James, who is a free agent next season, has made it very clear in the past that he wants his son Bronny James to play in the NBA. Over the weekend, King James also confirmed that he wants to play with his son on the same team in the league, “My last year will be played with my son. Wherever Bronny is at, that’s where I’ll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year. It’s not about the ...

Team Lebron edged out a 163-160 victory over Team Durant during Sunday night’s 75th-Anniversary 2022 NBA All-Star Game. Stephen Curry dropped a record-breaking 16 three-pointers, the most three-pointers recorded in any game in NBA history for a game-high 50 points.

Reigning Formula 1 constructors champion Mercedes has just unveiled its 2022 season challenger: the W13. Completely redesigned from the ground up after the team won eight consecutive constructors championships, the W13 carries a more classic livery returning to the days of the Silver Arrows, before the team decided to go black in 2020 in honor of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and the Black Lives Matter movement. “It just takes you back to being a kid,” said Hamilton during the car launch. “I think it’s always exciting watching, I mean with this new era of car, we’ve never seen such a drastic change, right? So it’s such a huge change in so many ways, that it’s just been really interesting seeing the designers and everyone coming together to find the best ways of creating a master...

With the new season of Formula 1 just around the corner, Ferrari has now unveiled its contender for 2022: the F1-75. Featured in the gallery above, the new car takes on a classic, flat Ferrari red livery with black accents by the front and rear wings as well as the floor of the vehicle and the fin of the engine cover. Most notably, the sidepods and cooling slats carry a rather unique design that differentiates the Mugello racer from the rest of the grid — or at least the seven teams that have unveiled their cars so far. While it takes on a wider body like Aston Martin‘s design, the top of the side pod dips down in the middle and actually rises back up near the rear when it connects with the engine cover. Of course, we’ll only know exactly how well these vastly different F1 cars will perfor...

While the Cincinnati Bengals lost to the Los Angeles Rams 23-20 at the Super Bowl LVI, the Bengals gave it their all. Star quaterback Joe Burrow came into the Super Bowl a major underdog, but managed to hold his own and lead his team through a great run at the championships. Unfortunately for Burrow, his efforts were not enough to sustain a second half lead into a win. In the latter half of the game, Burrow appeared to go down due to injury, leaving Bengal fans unsure of if he could finish the game. Burrow was sacked on a play that led to a sprained MCL in the fourth quarter of the game. Rams outside linebacker Von Miller sacked Burrow with just 12 minutes left of the game. Burrow was seen screaming in pain after the play, clutching his right knee. He limped off the field but was able to c...
