While it’s impossible to have LeBron James travel back in time and play in the same era as Michael Jordan, that hasn’t stopped chatbots from giving it a try. We’ve already asked ChatGPT in the past to answer questions we never thought we could find answers to when we had it rank the top 25 […]

Unlike their previous three games against the Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers, Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs faced a team that’s not expected to make the 2024 NBA playoffs. But like the Mavs, Kings and Lakers, the Utah Jazz proved too much for the “sloppy” Silver and Black. A 128-109 […]

At 75 years old, Gregg Popovich is certainly at an age in which he could be Victor Wembanyama’s grandfather.

The San Antonio Spurs’ legendary coach is already making a mark–and […]
