Basketball doesn’t have “own goals” as a separate statistical event, but the situation itself is possible: the ball can end up in your basket after a rebound scramble, a deflection, an awkward touch, or even because someone momentarily loses track of direction. The scoreboard will add points for t...
Sometimes you look at the standings and think: “Alright, slumps happen.” And sometimes you look at a team — and it’s not a slump. It’s a move-out: boxes, bubble wrap, and a sign that says “closed for reconstruction.” I put together the first weakness ranking of the season — not “the worst,” but th...
In Formula 1, January usually looks the same: teams fine-tune the cars, drivers smile on sponsor shoots, and on social media it’s the gym, cardio, “working.” All of it set to the quiet ticking of the clock: at the end of January — testing in Barcelona, and after that the season can’t be stopped. A...
If you thought boot ads were always “close-up of the sole + smoke + slow motion,” Adidas chose a different route. They staged a war of colors: red Predator versus yellow F50. And they framed it like this isn’t just a footwear line, but two camps with ideology. The faces of the campaign are also sp...
Some topics in the sports feed sound like a siren. And the words “human trafficking” next to the name of a PSG defender are exactly that kind of alarm. In France, an investigation has been opened into Lucas Hernandez and his partner, Viktoriya Triay, after a complaint from a Colombian family who w...
With Paddy Pimblett it’s always the same: half the people watch and say, “Come on, this is a circus,” and the other half say, “Come on, he’s a star.” And the truth, as usual, is somewhere in the middle. And it’s exactly in that “middle” where the UFC lives best. Because a Gaethje–Pimblett title fi...
Three-pointers have sped basketball up to TikTok pace in recent years: clips, spacing, “one more step-back—and let it fly.” But for all that digital beauty, there’s one good old thing that still decides games without fashion or context. The dunk. In the NBA, dunks go in at roughly 90%—it’s bas...
The 135–112 game was supposed to look like a neat full stop to an old story: Jimmy Butler against the Heat, exes, emotions, “here you go.” Instead, it turned into something else — the win stayed in the books, but the defining image of the night was Butler on the floor, clutching his right knee and u...
The NBA finally seems to have looked the All-Star Game in the eye and said out loud what we all already knew: 48 minutes of “let’s just shoot around” doesn’t sell as an event anymore. So in 2026 they re-tailored the show into “USA vs the World” — and made it shorter, meaner, and closer to a tourname...
Sometimes football is a simple thing. You get booed before the match? You answer in a way that turns the whistling into applause and a soft “well, okay…” That’s exactly what Real did: 6:1 at home against Monaco — no chances, no “almost,” no sense that Madrid had to suffer for the result. And yes...
