Father-Son Assist, Wemby’s MVP Takeover, and the "Iceman" Trademark

LeBron James and his Lakers could not win their 10^th game on the trot after controversial officiating marred their game against the Detroit Pistons. A game later, he and his son, Bronny James created history when the father assisted the son on a three-pointer.

Their teammate, Luka Doncic, fell to fourth in the MVP race, leading to a lot of backlash from fans. The Slovenian and his close friend and teammate, Austin Reaves, wondered what the reason was for the fall despite his electric performances.

On the other hand, Victor Wembanyama vaulted to No. 1. Many believe his passionate claim of being the best MVP candidate saw him leapfrog Doncic, Nikola Jokic, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

After Kevin Durant passed Michael Jordan on the All-Time scoring list, Isiah Thomas claimed that the Rockets star also could have won 6 titles if he was in Jordan’s place on the Bulls. His Airness, though, reiterated his desire not to talk about the NBA’s GOAT.

While on CBS Sunday Morning, the 63-year-old shared how he still dreams of playing basketball, but since he cannot, he has channeled his competitive fire into NASCAR. His former close friend, Charles Barkley, had nothing but praise for Jordan’s success.

NFL star Caleb Williams faced the heat from NBA fans after applying for a trademark over the nickname, ‘Iceman.’ Skip Bayless came out to support George Gervin’s claim over the name, reiterating that he was the first player to earn that moniker.

The UConn Huskies surprised everyone by rallying from a 15-point halftime deficit against Duke. They managed to throttle the Blue Devils with 10 seconds left and Braylon Mullins scored the game-winning 3-pointer with .4 seconds left.

Clark’s "GOAT" Take, A’ja’s Power Couple, and Brenda Frese Fire

With March Madness in full session, Maryland head coach Brenda Frese made headlines when her fiery interaction with guard Oluchi Okananwa caught everyone’s attention. Many were happy to see the coach motivate her star player with a mix of hard lessons and belief.

On the other hand, Flau’jae Johnson was joking about LSU head coach Kim Mulkey’s age, after which, the latter joked that she would pull her team captain from the starting lineup. Unfortunately, their stellar run stopped at the hands of Duke in the round of Sweet Sixteen.

Caitlin Clark’s Iowa ended its March Madness run in disappointing fashion, but she was thrilled to be a part of the Indiana Pacers’ courtside photograph team. She clicked quite a few and also tried to catch LeBron James’ attention, but failed.

The Fever superstar reiterated when she returned to appear on NBC that the Lakers’ superstar is her GOAT. After that, she spoke about how she and her team will be looking to make a run for the WNBA championship this season.

Her rival, Angel Reese, made the cover of Vogue Australia, and did it while wearing her signature Reebok AR1 sneakers, something no professional athlete has done before. Her shoes are catching everyone’s attention, with WWE superstar Charlotte Flair the latest who hyped the kids' variant.

A’ja Wilson revealed how Miami Heat star and boyfriend Bam Adebayo lifts her spirits even when she feels down. Many, including NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe, are expecting their child to be either a future WNBA or NBA great, considering the collective genes the child will get.

JSN’s Historic $168M Payday, Puka’s Legal Storm, and QB1 Controversy

Tom Brady dazzled fans at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic with some throwback pinpoint throws, giving further thought that he could play today if he wants. Later, the FOX Sports broadcaster revealed that fellow team owners were not in favour of a possible return to play for the Raiders.

NFL players, though, fell woefully short against the Team USA Flag Football team, seemingly blowing their chances of making it to Los Angeles 2028. At the same time, non-football players Logan Paul and IShowSpeed proved they are no pushovers.

Cam Skattebo received backlash for claiming that CTE was fake and that players were making things up. Emmanuel Acho slammed him and reminded him that players have lost their lives and families due to the disease. Eventually, the Giants' running back apologized.

Patrick Mahomes returned to the practice field a little over 100 days after tearing his ACL. This was after his FaceTime with Travis Kelce when the latter signed a team-friendly 3-year, $54.7 million contract.

The Seahawks rewarded Jaxon Smith-Njigba with a monster $168.6 million contract, which not only makes him the highest-paid WR, but also has the most guaranteed money any pass catcher has received.

Next up is Rams star Puka Nacua, but he is currently facing the heat after a woman accused him of biting her and making an Anti-Semitic remark. She has even reported his threats to the police, which could complicate matters.

ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky faced questions about his integrity after he continued to place Alabama QB and fellow CAA client Ty Simpson as the better prospect over Fernando Mendoza. Even Pat McAfee and his crew had to call out his bizarre logic using facts.
