COVID-19 is hitting the Brooklyn Nets hard this week as Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving became two of its latest players to enter the NBA‘s health and safety protocols. According to reports, the team now has a total of 10 players in protocols including James Harden, LaMarcus Aldridge, DeAndre’ Bembry, Bruce Brown, Jevon Carter, Paul Millsap, James Johnson and rookie Day’Ron Sharpe. “These are unforeseen circumstances and I hate to say it, it’s almost like we’ve gone back to six months, a year ago unfortunately with the cases rising,” Nets general manager Sean Marks said. Irving’s entry into the protocols occurred just a day after the franchise decided to allow him to return for practices and road games; he is still not allowed to play home games at the Barclays Center due to New York City’s ...

Jake Paul has solidified his boxing prowess over Tyron Woodley with a stunning knockout victory. With a split decision win for their first bout — leading Woodley to tattoo “I Love Jake Paul” on his finger — Jake Paul Vs. Tyron Woodley 2 was signed last minute as a replacement fight due to an injured Tommy Fury. Scoring in favor 10-9 in the first five rounds, Paul was on his way to winning via points, but things changed in the sixth round when he feinted a jab followed by a powerful right hand which dropped Woodley stiff on the canvas. The 24-year-old YouTube-star-turned-boxer now advances 5-0, while the 39-year-old former UFC Welterweight Champion is still without a boxing win at 0-2. Paul ended his post-fight interview by calling out UFC fighters Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz. Check out th...

For nearly a decade, Draymond Green and Steph Curry have shared many memorable NBA moments playing together on the Golden State Warriors. Green recently spoke to FOX Sports‘ Melissa Rohlin about how his relationship with Curry has grown over the years, “If there were two me’s, it might not be as loud in the locker room as it needs to be at times. And, if there were two of him, nobody would know when to shut up. It’s the perfect balance.” When it came down to discussing their bond on the court Green added, “Do I think I would have had the success without him? No. And I don’t think he would’ve had the success that he’s had without me. Do I think we both would’ve had success? Absolutely. We’re both equally as driven, we both are winners, we’re competitive. When you’re a winner, when you’re a ...

Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Steph Curry has officially set the new NBA career record for three-pointers. Curry has surpassed Ray Allen as the all-time 3-point leader. Ray Allen finished his basketball career with 2,973 career-threes. In recent years, Curry has cemented himself as one of the greatest shooters of all time. With each shot beyond the arc, he has refashioned the three-point line and made it his own. His most recent milestone sees the Warriors guard hit his 2,974th career three-pointer in the first quarter of the game against the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden. Curry started the game with just one behind Allen. Allen needed to play 1,300 regular seasons to obtain his record-feat, while Curry only needed 789 to make his mark. Prior to the game, Reggie Miller pred...

This past weekend, Charles Oliveira defeated Dustin Poirier to defend his UFC lightweight title. After the fight, Conor McGregor took to Twitter to express that he wants another go at the title, seemingly challenging Oliveira almost immediately. McGregor, who has lost two consecutive matches and is currently recovering from a broken leg he sustained in his fight against Poirier, is evidently keen on making his way back to the ring. Oliveira’s match against Poirier has allowed him to defend his lightweight title and will now likely move to face the top contender Justin Gaethje in the new year. McGregor is slated to come back to the ring by the end of 2022, however, the timeline has not yet been confirmed. Should this be the case, Oliveira still has plenty of time to rest and train before po...

Mizuno has designed the Pro Series 221, 223, and 225 irons. The focus of the construction is based on world-class detailed playing profiles that have specific tour standards.

Charles Oliveira has defeated Dustin Poirier, solidifying his place as the undisputed UFC lightweight champion. The matchup started off at a feverish pace as the fighters engaged in an intense back and forth. Poirier’s power was evident early on as he scored a knockdown on Oliveira towards the end of the first round.

Despite Oliveira coming in as the champion, Poirier entered UFC269 as the betting favorite, riding on the momentum of his last victory against Conor McGregor. Now that Khabib Nurmagomedov has retired from the UFC, the Lightweight division has been in search of a new king, and Olive...

LaVar Ball is famously known for speaking his mind, maintaining that he believes he could take Michael Jordan, who many consider the greatest of all time, in a 1v1 basketball match. In a recent interview with Hoops View, Lavar continues the same rhetoric towards Jordan saying that his son LaMelo Ball doesn’t need to seek out advice from Jordan who’s the owner of the Charlotte Hornets, the team LaMelo plays on. While LaVar often makes bold comments, his sons LaMelo and Lonzo were drafted No. 2 and No.3 respectively in the NBA draft, and are both having impressive breakout seasons with an exciting future ahead of them. Here’s what LaVar said in the interview: “How often does he seek advice from Michael Jordan? NEVER! What advice he gon’ give him? Do you ever have milk in your refrigerator? A...
