Dennis Schröder has revealed why he decided to turn down the Los Angeles Lakers‘ supposed offer of almost $84 million USD. The German NBA player, who opted to sign the Boston Celtics‘ $5.9 million USD contract instead, first clarified an important fact. “The Lakers told us we are not talking during the season, and at the end of the day, I never had that contract in front of me,” Schröder said during Celtics media day. “That’s one thing. But they wanted to talk and at the end of the day, me and my agent decided not to sign their contract.” He added that he didn’t think he gave everything he could to the Lakers as he played alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who he considers “two of the best players in the NBA.” Schröder continued, “At the end of the day, I feel like for me, personall...

Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast with a total of 32 Olympic and World Championship mdeals, got candid about her state of emotions during the Tokyo Olympics and the Larry Nassar assault.

James Harden Calls Milwaukee Bucks, Not Brooklyn Nets, the Team To Beat in the East
Going into the NBA 2021/22 season, the Brooklyn Nets are expected to be major contenders to take the Eastern Conference and make their way into the Finals. With a superstar team led by Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving, the organization is considered to be one of the best teams on paper. Though that may be the case, Harden still does not think that the Brooklyn Nets are the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. When asked whether or not the Nets feel as if they have a target on their back, he said that since Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA Finals, that they should be focusing on them instead. As reigning champions, the Bucks have more to prove to defend their title. Harden, however, is still confident with his team’s ability to surpass everyone else in the league to make it to the ...

Floyd Mayweather Is Open To Fighting Oscar De La Hoya
Floyd Mayweather is reportedly ready to take on Oscar De La Hoya for another rematch. Mayweather holds a 50-0 career record and appears to have retired from prizefighting.

Months after the fight with Paul, Mayweather seems to be eyeing his next challenge, this time with opponent Oscar De La Hoya. The two last fought in the ring together over a decade ago and recently, De La Hoya hinted at wanting to fight Mayweather again. Mayweather is reportedly toying with the idea, but will only do it if he gets his $100 million USD payout. The fighter is not expected to fight f...

Conor McGregor’s Viral off-Target First Pitch Draws Comparisons To Worst in MLB History
Conor McGregor can throw a mean left hook, but when it comes down to sending out the first pitch at an MLB game, the UFC star might have been a little off-target. The MMA fighter was honored with the opportunity to throw the ceremonial first pitch at the Chicago Cubs‘ game earlier this week. However, his attempt sent the ball sailing high and right into the stands. The outcome immediately became an internet moment, with UFC fighter Justin Gaethje even taking to Twitter to write, “I cannot stop laughing at this. Every MMA fighter that has represented us doing this has looked terrible but this takes the cake.” In a post-throw interview, McGregor admitted that the throw was not his best work, but he did not seem too torn about it. McGregor summarized his particularly bad efforts when asked ab...
