If the ball goes into your own basket: what happens to the score and who gets credited with the points

Avatar

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...


Pimblett a can? Then why does he keep winning?

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...

Hamilton instead of a simulator — a humanitarian warehouse. A week before testing, that sounds like a challenge

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...

Dunks are the NBA’s most honest currency. And here’s who’s printing it in stacks

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...


NBA Misery Table: 10 teams whose season already smells like renovation

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...


Sonmez helped a ball girl in the heat — and it’s the most accurate image of Day 1 at the Australian Open

The first day of the Australian Open usually delivers two kinds of content: someone heroically drags themselves through a match, someone simply tries not to melt. This time, the strongest moment didn’t happen in a rally, but next to the net: during the match between Zeynep Sonmez and Ekate...

Carlos Sainz Sr. drew the line under Dakar 2026. 63 years old, chasing a fifth trophy — and one navigation slip that erased everything

You know what’s the most unsporting thing about racing? You can do everything right for twenty years — and one day is enough for the desert to say, “thanks, goodbye.” With Dakar 2026, Carlos Sainz Sr. really is leaving. Not “dropping off,” not “getting tired,” but actually closing a chapter — the...

OnlyFans and Sports: When a Subscription Suddenly Becomes a Career’s Main Sponsor

There’s a topic that sports usually grimaces at and pretends doesn’t exist. And yet it’s right there. In the locker room, in Stories, in DMs, in conversations about money. It’s OnlyFans. People argue about it as if it were about the morality of humanity, but in practice it’s simpler and harshe...


Tsarukyan isn’t getting a title shot — but he keeps winning in another weight class: “food content turned up to max”

Some fighters run their social media like a PR office: “training, interview, weigh-in.” And then there’s Arman Tsarukyan — a guy who, in theory, should be thinking about the belt, but at the same time confidently holds another “title”: the most oddly lovable food blogger among fighters. And this...

F1’s winter silence lasted exactly until the first rumor: Mercedes supposedly found an engine cheat for 2026 — and now everyone’s uneasy

In Formula 1 there’s formally a pause right now: late December, two weeks of “silence” at the factories, closed development departments, and only repairs and maintenance allowed. On paper — calm. In reality — no. Because F1’s favorite winter sport is the behind-the-scenes war. And the first scanda...
