Superstars play by rules that other athletes simply don’t have the luxury of operating within. Whether fair or foul, it’s the nature of the beast in sports, especially when discussing a 5-on-5 encounter in which one player can swing the momentum of a game. That reality appears to be thoroughly understood by Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick as he prepares for his first season at the helm. Redick will have a unique opportunity to coach two of the best players in the NBA during his first year in Los Angeles: Anthony Davis and LeBron James. The Lakers’ superstar…

NBA insiders Shams Charania and Brian Windhorst revealed when the Los Angeles Lakers plan to play guard Bronny James alongside his father in the team’s season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves. According to Charania, the Lakers are expected to play James early in the game, and that they “want to allow this to happen during the flow of the game in a competitive environment.” “I’m told it’s very likely, and the Lakers plan that LeBron James, Bronny James make history as the first father-son duo to be on the court at the same time, and likely to come early in…

Less than a year and a half after Bronny James went into cardiac arrest during a USC basketball offseason workout, he’s now in the midst of his first season with the Los Angeles Lakers. At the time of the health scare, it’s unlikely many people would have predicted the following 15 months to play out as they did. With Bronny and his now-Lakers teammate LeBron James becoming the first father-son due to team up at the NBA level, the younger James is officially getting his professional career underway. Ahead of the Lakers’ regular-season opener for the 2024-25 season against the…

After a rather uneventful offseason, the Los Angeles Lakers will tip off the 2024-25 NBA regular season tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves. As always, there will be many eyes on the Lakers to see what they do this season with a new head coach (JJ Redick) and the Olympic duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. For James, this will be his 21st season in the NBA, which is incredible to think about as he’s still playing at a high level. LeBron will be joined by his son Bronny James, who was drafted in the second round by the Lakers…

Manchester City are no strangers when it comes to selling players for considerable transfer fees. For instance, City have cashed in on big names such as Raheem Sterling, Cole Palmer, Riyad Mahrez and Gabriel Jesus among many others in recent years. The previous summer transfer window was no different, as numerous figures from City’s squad ended up waving goodbye to the Etihad Stadium to join new clubs elsewhere. However, despite only a couple of months having gone by since this last window, Pep Guardiola’s side have set their sights on bringing one of their most recent departures back to the…

sources have revealed that City are optimistic that Guardiola will extend his contract for another season, with the club targeting an agreement by the end of next month – which is likely to be a one-year extension.

Chelsea have put together a really impressive squad which looks very deep now that there are so few injuries, and has a very low average age. But that won’t stop the sporting directors staying on the hunt for the best young talents around, and Jamie Gittens is a name we keep hearing being mentioned. The most recent reports come from Bild, who claim that the Blues (along with Tottenham) are watching the English youngster making his breakthrough with Borussia Dortmund. We’d imagine there are a host of other sides doing the same. He’s got 4 goals and 3 assists in…

“Watch Palmer,” the gentleman behind me barked. “Watch Palmer,” he said again. And again, and again, and again. In fact, I lost count of the amount of times he was demanding a Liverpool player to “watch” Cole Palmer. Such is Palmer’s brilliance, he brings a fear factor with him everywhere he goes. Even Anfield; one of the most difficult stadiums to get a result at in the Premier League. His brilliance is often his own worst enemy, though, because he sets himself such high standards. Ridiculously high. When he is not bagging himself four goals, you can consider it an…

Chelsea know they already have a secret weapon to sign £83million rated Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. The Blues are reportedly among a number of Premier League sides keen on signing the England international. Liverpool, Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace are all keeping tabs on Gittens, who spent time in Chelsea’s youth set-up before moving to Manchester City. The 20-year-old has followed in the footsteps of current Chelsea winger Jadon Sancho and is a potential alternative at Stamford Bridge. According to German outlet Bild, Borussia Dortmund will demand a fee as high as £83.4million before allowing clubs to enter…

Chelsea will be looking to put Sunday’s defeat to Liverpool behind them later this week as they travel to Athens to take on Panathinaikos. The Blues take on the Greek side in their second Conference League league phase game of the season. Last time out, the west Londoners had far too much for Gent at Stamford Bridge, but this looks set to be a more difficult test. In the games away from the Premier League, Enzo Maresca has tended to make wholesale changes to his big squad. That could well be the case again on Thursday night as the Blues…
