Nothing gets an NBA crowd riled up more than seeing someone “jump out of the gym” in the middle of a game. At the same time, it’s easy to dunk the ball on a 10-foot rim if you’re 7 feet tall. So, you can only imagine the crowd’s excitement when someone 2 feet shorter pulled […]

The NBA MVP Award is given to the best performing player of the regular season. In 2024-25, the MVP went to the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

To its credit, F1: The Movie gets me to care about Formula 1, an unfathomable thought, thanks to its performances from Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, who play out a story that resembles the classic Brett Favre-Aaron Rodgers feud of the early 2000s.
