There were signs of life from Green Bay down the stretch of the season even if the final record doesn'...

LeBron James and JJ Redick say Lakers weren't ready for Timberwolves' physicality in Game 1 NBA playoffs loss

The most surprising result from the first day of the 2025 NBA playoffs was the Minnesota Timberwolves ' 117-95 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1 of their first-round series . After taking the lead early in the second quarter, the Wolves never trailed again and spent the entire second half up by double digits.  The Timberwolves dictated the action on both ends of the floor all night long and, after the defeat, the Lakers' coaches and players admitted that they weren't prepared for their opponents' toughness.  "They're one of the best teams in basketball," Lakers coach JJ Redick said. "It's not to say our guys weren't ready to withstand a playoff-level basketball game. We were mentally ready. I thought our spirit was right. I thought even when they made runs, our huddles were great. The communication was great. "I'm not sure physically we were ready, if that makes sense. And really, when they started playing with a...

Luka Doncic Confesses LeBron James Hasn’t Made A Handshake With Him Despite Having One With A Photographer

LeBron James might be one of the most revered basketball players of all time, but his most underrated skill might just be his memory. Over the years, he's built a reputation for crafting personalized handshakes with just about everyone: teammates, coaches, kids, and even sideline staff. Some of those handshakes have been around for a long time. His signature handshake with former teammates like Dwyane Wade and Kyrie Irving must be etched in his memory by now. However, LeBron keeps co-signing more people for the honor, which must make it difficult for him to remember. Now, there's one person who is still waiting to be knighted by LeBron. His superstar teammate Luka Doncic arrived in LA a couple of months ago. Surprisingly, LBJ hasn't come up with a unique handshake for his new teammate. The Slovenian recently talked about it during his Spectrum Sportsnet Exclusive interview. Luka was asked, "It seems like everyone in his [LeBron's] life, he has a specia...

From LeBron James to Alex Ovechkin, untouchable sports records and why they might never be broken

With each passing decade, elite athletes seem to become faster, stronger and, dare we say it, better. Performance improves and, consequently, records tumble. But some records seem otherworldly. No matter what future technological or scientific advancements may be made, they feel out of reach and unbreakable. Although that is what many thought of Wayne Gretzky's NHL's goals record, and then came along Alexander Ovechkin. For 31 years, Gretzky reigned as the all-time goalscorer in the NHL with 894 goals. That was before 39-year-old Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals overtook that landmark on April 7. Gretzky still holds a few records widely regarded as   untouchable — his ridiculous 1,963 career assists, for instance. All of this has le d us to consider some other records in sport that are thought of as unlikely to be broken. Could they, too, one day be beaten, or are there some records that will forever remain in the history books? Soccer Furthest goal: 96.01 meters (104....
