When Super Bowl LVI kicks off, it will be a signature moment in the NFL’s new Los Angeles era. SoFi Stadium, the most expensive stadium in the world by a mile, will be the… Source link

No one in the NBA has scored more points that counted than LeBron James. The Los Angeles Lakers star remains a little under 2,000 points behind Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the NBA’s all-time scoring title, but if you factor in points scored in the playoffs — which do not factor into the official list — James just passed Abdul-Jabbar’s 44,149 combined points. The 37-year-old James took control of the title with a 3-pointer in the third quarter of Saturday’s game against the Golden… Source link
