Photo: Jake Paul (Instagram) Jake Paul is trying to make a big fight happen between UFC fighters Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall . He believes that if enough money is on the table, Jones would agree to the fight. Tom Aspinall has been vocal about wanting to fight Jones ever since he won the interim heavyweight title by knocking out Sergei Pavlovich in November 2023. Aspinall hoped to face Jones in a title unification bout.  However, Jones hasn't been interested, preferring instead to focus on his next fight with Stipe Miocic , which could be his last before retiring. Some think Jones is avoiding Aspinall because he doesn't want to risk his legacy.  Photo: Jake Paul (Instagram) But Jake Paul has a different opinion. He says Jones isn't afraid of anyone; he just needs the right financial incentive.   Paul thinks a $25 million guaranteed payday, plus pay-per-view earnings, would be enough to get Jones in the ring with Aspinall. Jon Jones doesn’t dodge anyone. He knows exactly wha

Photo: Bronny James (Instagram) Bronny James , the son of NBA legend LeBron James , is inspiring other young athletes to follow in his footsteps. After being drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, Bronny’s journey has caught the attention of many, including Kiyan Anthony, the son of another basketball great, Carmelo Anthony . Both Bronny and Kiyan share more than just famous fathers; they are both talented young basketball players with bright futures. While Bronny has been in the news a lot after his draft, Kiyan has also been making a name for himself with impressive performances in different leagues. Bronny’s road to the NBA wasn’t easy. He had to deal with a heart problem that made him miss games during his first year at USC. It took him some time to adjust, but he stayed focused and eventually entered the NBA Draft, where the Lakers picked him.

Photo: Stephen Curry, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant (Instagram) Steph Curry has made history by becoming one of just three NBA players to earn over $500 million in contracts.  The Golden State Warriors star signed a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension on Thursday, which keeps him with the team through the 2026-27 season. This new deal puts Curry in elite company, alongside LeBron James and Kevin Durant , who have also crossed the $500 million mark in career earnings. Photo: Stephen Curry, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant (Instagram) By the time their contracts end, Curry will have earned more than $500 million, surpassing Durant’s $504 million but still trailing LeBron's $584 million. Curry's incredible career achievements back up these numbers. He has led the Warriors to four NBA Championships, earned 10 All-Star selections, won two regular-season MVP awards, and was named NBA Finals MVP in 2021-22. Over his career, Curry has averaged 26.4 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.5

Photo: Mike Tyson (Instagram) Mike Tyson , the former heavyweight boxing champion, is making a comeback to the ring later this year. At 58 years old, Tyson hasn’t fought professionally in 20 years. However, he’s confident about his return, where he'll face Jake Paul , a YouTuber turned professional fighter, in Texas this December. During a press conference, Tyson made it clear that he’s ready for the challenge. "I’m just ready, I’m ready to fight," he said.  Photo: Mike Tyson (Instagram) When Paul teased Tyson about having to delay the fight due to health issues earlier this year, Tyson responded boldly, saying, "Who else is he going to fight to make this happen? You got a YouTuber fighting the greatest fighter that ever lived." Tyson’s return to the ring is highly anticipated, but many are concerned about what a loss could mean for his legacy and health, especially against a much younger opponent like Paul.

Photo: Jrue Holiday (Instagram) NBA star Jrue Holiday quickly named Anthony Edwards as the top trash talker on Team USA during the 2024 Paris Olympics.  Holiday’s choice is surprising, given that big names like Kevin Durant , Stephen Curry , and LeBron James are also on the team. Holiday, smiling, said, " Anthony Edwards , one hundred percent." Edwards, making his Olympic debut, had a strong performance, averaging 12.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game, helping Team USA win gold. Photo: Jrue Holiday (Instagram) Holiday, a two-time NBA champion, praised Edwards not just for his trash talk but also for his talent. "He's a great young player, and you'll see him trash-talking for a very long time," Holiday added. Jrue Holiday was asked who the biggest trash talker on Team USA was.

Photo: Deontay Wilder (Instagram) Deontay Wilder , once a feared heavyweight, is facing doubts about his future in boxing. Known for his powerful right hand, Wilder made a name for himself by knocking out many opponents. However, his career took a hit after facing Tyson Fury , who managed to survive Wilder's punches and ultimately defeated him in their last two fights. Wilder's quick knockout of Robert Helenius kept fans interested, but recent losses to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang have left many wondering if the 38-year-old should retire. Despite the setbacks, some fighters are still eager to face Wilder. Martin Bakole, the number one ranked heavyweight with the WBA, recently shared his confidence in a potential matchup. In a recent interview, Bakole said he would easily defeat Wilder, calling him "small" and claiming he would knock him out.

Photo: Carmelo Anthony (Instagram) Former NBA star Carmelo Anthony is looking to buy an NBA team, and he thinks teaming up with Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade would be perfect. Anthony talked about this idea on a recent episode of "7PM in Brooklyn." “I’m trying to raise money now, traveling around to fundraise,” Anthony said. “It’s hard, but it’s important because sports involve a lot of money, and not everyone understands that.” Anthony, who earned over $260 million during his NBA career, loves the idea of owning a team with Wade and LeBron James , who also joined the NBA in 2003. “That’s how you create a legacy,” he said. “I’d love to do it, but I’m not sure how open they are to it.” Photo: Carmelo Anthony (Instagram) Wade already has experience as a team owner. He became a minority owner of the Utah Jazz in 2021 and is also part of the ownership group for the Chicago Sky in the WNBA. Owning a team with Wade would be a dream come true for Anthony.

Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov (Instagram) After Khabib Nurmagomedov retired, many fans hoped he would return for one last fight. UFC President Dana White even tried to bring him back to the octagon to achieve a perfect 30-0 record, a dream of Khabib's late father. However, Khabib stayed retired. Recently, there was talk of Khabib trying something new: a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather . The idea excited many, especially since such a fight could have earned Khabib a huge payday—up to $100 million. But during an appearance on the "Inspire Me" podcast on August 25, Khabib made it clear that he wasn’t interested. “Right now, no. Right now, you know, it’s like everybody know, I am not a boxer,” he said. Unlike his rival Conor McGregor , who fought Mayweather in 2017 and reportedly earned around $130 million, Khabib isn’t tempted by the money. He pointed out that even though people doubt his striking ability, he has always dominated in the octagon. In 29 MMA fights, includ

Photo: Oleksandr Usyk (Instagram) There have been claims that Oleksandr Usyk , the unified heavyweight champion, was stopped by a body shot during sparring with Martin Bakole, who is currently ranked as the number one heavyweight by the WBA. Bakole and his trainer, Billy Nelson, have said multiple times that Bakole managed to stop Usyk in the gym. Sparring stories like these often get passed around, but they are usually hard to prove. While some might be true, others are just rumors. Normally, what happens in the gym stays in the gym, but sometimes fighters talk about it or even show clips. Bakole’s trainer, Billy Nelson, is confident in the story, saying, "He stopped Usyk in sparring, so why would he not think he could beat him. It’s fact, it’s fact." Photo: Oleksandr Usyk (Instagram) This claim has led to more talk about whether Usyk is vulnerable to body shots. In a recent fight, Daniel Dubois targeted Usyk's body and even knocked him down, but the punch was ruled as a

Her husband, LeBron James , was one of the first to wish her a happy birthday, and his message was especially heartwarming. LeBron shared a post from the "Team James Family" Instagram account, adding his own sweet caption, "QUEEN DAY," along with lots of heart emojis.

Over the years, LeBron has always shown how much he loves and admires Savannah, who has stood by him through it all.

Photo: LeBron James (Instagram) LeBron James has always dreamed of playing in the NBA with his son, Bronny James . As this dream is close to becoming a reality, LeBron is setting some rules for their time together on the court. During an episode of "The Shop," a show he co-produces, LeBron mentioned that Bronny won’t be able to call him "Dad" while they're playing or practicing with the Lakers. "No, he can’t call me 'Dad' on the court. We’ve already decided that," LeBron said. "Once we leave the practice facility and the gates close, I can be 'Dad' again—in the car or at home. But on the court, he has to call me '2-3,' 'Bron,' or even 'GOAT' [greatest of all time] if he wants. It's his choice." Photo: LeBron James (Instagram) LeBron explained that this change will likely be harder for Bronny than for himself. "It's easy for me because I've been calling him 'Bronny' for so long,

Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov (Instagram) Khabib Nurmagomedov , a legendary UFC fighter, recently revealed a chilling message he gave to UFC President Dana White before his infamous fight against Conor McGregor in 2018. The fight was one of the most anticipated in UFC history, with Khabib and Conor having a heated rivalry that even led to Conor attacking a bus Khabib was on. Despite all the drama, the fight went ahead and became the best-selling event in UFC history. Khabib shared in an interview that before the fight, as he stepped into the cage, he looked at Dana White and told him, "Today, you cannot protect him," referring to McGregor. He repeated it, but Dana didn’t hear him clearly.  Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov (Instagram) Khabib didn’t mind, knowing they would talk after the fight. Khabib dominated the fight and won by submission in the fourth round.  However, his emotions were still high, and right after the fight, he jumped out of the cage and went after Conor’s teamma

Clark, who was the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft last April, had a strong performance with 23 points, leading her team in scoring.  She also had eight assists, including one that stood out as one of the best of the season. Photo: Caitlin Clark (Instagram) During the game, Clark made a long pass that perfectly sailed over the Lynx's defense and landed in the hands of her teammate, Lexie Hull, who easily scored. Clark made this difficult play look effortless.

Photo: Jordan Poole (Instagram) The Golden State Warriors, once a dominant force in the NBA, might be seeing their championship days come to an end.  Former NBA player Rashad McCants believes the main reason for this is the team's decision to move on from Jordan Poole . On the Gil's Arena podcast, McCants said, "It's like a burning building that's coming down. Unfortunately, it's because of everything the Warriors let happen with Jordan Poole." Photo: Jordan Poole (Instagram) The Warriors traded Poole, who was averaging over 20 points per game, for veteran Chris Paul . McCants thinks this move hurt both Poole's growth and the team's future. "Choosing Brandin Podziemski, Draymond Green , and Jonathan Kuminga over Jordan Poole was crazy to me," McCants added. "When I think about the Warriors now, I think about Jordan Poole. I feel like that's why Klay [Thompson] left, and I think the team is going to break up." While the War

Photo: Patrick Beverley (Instagram) Patrick Beverley , a former LA Clippers guard and 12-year NBA veteran, recently explained his decision to leave the NBA and join Hapoel Tel Aviv BC, a team in the Israeli Basketball Premier League. Beverley shared his thoughts on his podcast, saying, "I get to play basketball.  In my European career, I was MVP of the same league I'm going back to... In the NBA, I had to play different roles, but now I get to be the go-to guy again." Beverley reflected on his NBA career, mentioning how he enjoyed his time in the league but felt limited in his role.  He recalled a time with the Milwaukee Bucks when he had a standout game, only to see his role change when other players returned from injury. This shift led him to choose a new path where he could be the main focus on the court.

Photo: Floyd Mayweather (Instagram) Floyd Mayweather easily handled John Gotti III in their exhibition fight rematch in Mexico City. The fight, which took place on Saturday night, had a surprising twist when the referee was changed in the middle of the bout. Mayweather first fought Gotti , who is the grandson of the New York crime boss John Gotti, in June 2023. That fight ended in chaos when a brawl broke out in the sixth round. In this rematch, Panamanian referee Hector Afu left the ring in the second round after a dispute with Mayweather. Afu was upset after Mayweather argued against a call, claiming that one of his punches was unfairly judged as illegal. Mexican referee Alfredo Uruzquieta then stepped in to finish officiating the fight. Photo: Floyd Mayweather (Instagram) Even with the referee switch, Mayweather, 47, stayed in control. The crowd of 22,000 in Mexico City grew frustrated with Gotti's lack of punches and began to boo. Gotti did pick up his pace in the fourth rou

On Saturday, rapper Doe Boy posted a video on Instagram claiming that LeBron cheated during a game of Madden NFL 25. The video showed LeBron beating Doe Boy badly in the video game. The rapper jokingly accused LeBron of cheating because of the lopsided score.
