Red Bull driver Max Verstappen faces a one-race penalty ban, but will not change his driving style
Max Verstappen enters the 2025 Formula 1 season hoping to defend his fourth consecutive Drivers’ Championship.

Many NBA fans, whether it be casuals or diehards, have grown incredibly tired of teams almost exclusively relying on the three-point shot. League commissioner Adam Silver has not only heard the complaints but is also agreeing with them to some extent.

Here’s a big list of deserving NBA All-Star candidates, plus our picks for the players who should make the team.
It feels like the NBA is stocked with more elite talent than ever before. That’s going to lead to a lot of hard feelings as it relates to the 2025 NBA All-Star Game.
There are only 12 spots on the All-Star roster in the Eastern and Western Conference. Both the starters and the bench need to consist of two backcourt players and three front court players, with two Wild Card spots rounding out the rosters in each conference.

McCarthy had some flaws, but what he managed to get from his Dallas teams despite significant obstacles makes him look better than Jerry Jones.

Poor Victor Wembanyama can’t possibly live down this insane dunk by Ja Morant …
In one of the most athletic highlights you’ll see this week, Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant climbed the ladder and threw down a slam on Wembanyama, the San Antonio Spurs’ phenom.
Morant made Wemby look small with his remix of the famous Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan signature dunks — leaping over a defender and launching the ball from feet away, lasering through the nylon.
