After a phenomenal regular season, the Minnesota Timberwolves are rolling into the 2024 NBA Playoffs with a lot to prove. Their trio of All-Star talents have their resumes on the line.

HBCU alumnus and First Take star Stephen A. Smith is never one to shy away from controversy. The ESPN mainstay is known for his unapologetic takes on sports but he’s worked to establish himself as an all-around cultural critic via his iHeartMedia podcast The Stephen A. Smith Show.

A perfect example is the response to his interview on Fox News’s show Hannity. Sean Hannity invited Stephen A. Smith onto the show to speak about his ..read more

On Saturday afternoon, Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns will begin their foray into the 2024 NBA postseason with Game 1 of their first round series vs the Timberwolves, in which they are favored despite being the lower seed.

When the Young Bucks re-debuted in AEW under a brand new gimmick, wearing suits, using their “legal” names, and just generally taking their spots as EVPs way too seriously on Tony Khan‘s weekly show, it drew one comparison above all others: the Roy siblings from HBO’s Succession. Now granted, there have been business-themed gimmicks in wrestling before, with Kiana James working on one in NXT right now and everyone from Triple H to Seth Rollins and even Kane working for The Corporation in WWE, but this particular gimmick felt more in line with what Warner Brothers Discovery was doing on HBO in ..read more

Among the challengers are the Washington Capitals, who have a tough first-round matchup. They take on the Presidents Trophy-winning New York Rangers in the opening round. For a while, it felt as if the Capitals wouldn’t be here. Washington struggled during the first half of the season. In fact, it looked as if franchise icon Alex Ovechkin had finally shown signs of decline. However, once the All-Star Game came and went, Washington figured some things out. The Capitals didn’t ..read more

It’s no secret that Michigan basketball was in need of a factory reset after a disastrous 2023-24 campaign (8-24, 3-17), its worst in 107 years. The Wolverines replaced coach Juwan Howard with former FAU boss Dustin May, and their roster will undoubtedly be overhauled as well. Michigan fans finally got exciting news Friday, as the program landed four-star recruit Justin Pippen, per 247 Sports. Justin, of course, is the son of NBA legend Scottie Pippen. Justin is 247’s 62nd-ranked prospect in the nation, and he was said to be enamored when he visited Ann Arbor. “Yeah, I loved it,” Justin said t ..read more

The Chicago Bulls finished up yet another mediocre season on Friday night as they lost to the Miami Heat in the NBA play-in tournament. It was a disappointing season, so it was fitting for it to end in disappointing fashion. The Bulls got out to a good start in Miami as they hit a few threes early to go up 11-6, but it was all Heat after that. Miami won the game 112-91, and they are now headed to the playoffs to take on the Boston Celtics. After going up 11-6, the Bulls surrendered a massive run and ended up going down by 20 in the second quarter. After they went down 20, the Bulls actually di ..read more
