Former NBA point guard and two-time All-Star Stephon Marbury seems to believe that Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James doesn’t have a compelling case for being the greatest basketball player of all time — because Marbury doesn’t think James even belongs in the same breath as Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan.

If there is one thing fans of the Chicago Bulls know for certain, it’s that Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time, especially if they happened to be alive and around Chicago during the 1990’s. Of course, people who grew up in LA during the 1980’s...

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

This stadium looks like something straight out of a horror film. The two ravens guarding the entrance are equal parts cool and terrifying. Combined with the figure at the center of the entrance — the one with the glowing, purple circle — it looks like the Pokémon Golbat. Regardless of what AI was going for, it did well. The gothic feel of this stadium fits the Ravens perfectly.

Despite the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics coming to a close, it’s never too early to leap ahead four years. In 2028, the Olympics will be hosted by the city of Los Angeles. Along with the venue change comes an addition of new sports to the global competition. Among them will be baseball — a sport often associated with the United States as its national pastime. Trying to predict what a possible 26-man roster will look like may be a bit difficult. However, we’ll save you the headache by breaking down what Team USA could bring to the table in search of a gold medal.

The 2024-25 College Football season is nearly upon us. In a bit of a change from years past, the playoff bracket has been extended from four teams to 12. This piece will aim to put together a potential grouping of teams we’ll see compete for a National Championship — all with their corresponding ranking. The Power 4 conferences will each receive a bid — with the remaining eight being of the at-large variety.

The 2024-2025 NFL season is quickly approaching, and what better way to get prepared than to count down the league’s 100 best players entering the year? As we unveil the list from 100 to 1, let’s look at the players who made the cut by position (without giving too much away):

As we enter the 2024-2025 season, it’s a new era in college football. With the PAC-12 no longer in existence, college football’s “Power 5” has officially become a “Power 4.” In total, 68 teams make up these four conferences (we were kind enough to call Notre Dame an ACC squad so they could be included), so we broke down how all 68 head coaches stack up against one another.

Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson: Stephon Marbury on GOAT debate: “LeBron’s a great player. Don’t get me wrong. A great, great player. Unbelievable. Amazing. But better than Michael Jordan? – it’s not even the same. It’s just different. In fact, it needs no explanation or explaining because we can’t talk about Jordan’s game. It’s like we need to talk about what people are not. “People wanna rank Jordan? Jordan shouldn’t even be ranked. It should be Kobe, then LeBron and then you can pick guys after that. There’s just no comparison man. It’s not the same. It’s just different worlds. Different mentalities. I don’t know why Jordan’s name is mentioned in the same conversation sometimes. I’ll clear that up real quick…there’s really no need to talk about that.” – Via Scoop B Radio.

Recently, we asked our readers to explore whether other ball clubs in the NBA might overlook the San Antonio Spurs on the court next season. But Bleacher Report league analyst Dan Favale recently made the case as to why other teams should not make that mistake.
In a recent survey of the Association, Favale highlighted some of the reasons why overlooking a respective team might come back to bite an opposing squad. And when it comes to the Spurs next season, the growth of star French forward Victor Wembanyama in his second year in the league is just one part of...

Cleveland, OH

The Cleveland Cavaliers have not made a roster change since the start of free agency, and that needs to change. The Cavaliers will have to make a decision this summer beyond their current roster, as they only have 12 roster spots filled (13 if Isaac Okoro returns). Teams must have at least 14 players on a roster by the beginning of the season. Cleveland's hesitant approach this summer has yielded beneficial results, bringing a high-caliber head coach and re-signing core players. Still, the team is far from a true contender and must improve.
