Jose Mourinho beats Maurizio Sarri

After losing the first matchup against Lazio last September, Roma manager Jose Mourinho had his personal revenge against Maurizio Sarri and won the Roma derby, 3-0, while dominating the whole match. Former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham scored the opening goal after 55 seconds and then scored another one after 22 minutes. Lazio were never really dangerous and it was an amazing free-kick by captain Lorenzo Pellegrini that capped off an unforgettable win.

Inter crisis; Juventus get closer

Inter Milan have been unrecognizable in the last few weeks. Simone Inzaghi's team failed to win again and drew at home against Fiorentina. The away team scored the opener with Lucas Torreira, but then Inter Milan managed to equalize with Denzel Dumfries' header. Nerazzurri won one game in the last seven and are now only one point ahead Juventus (still with one game in hand), who won against Salernitana on Sunday.

Paulo Dybala and Dusan Vlahovic goals put Juventus in a better position, and after the International break there will be a huge game in Turin between Inter Milan and Juventus that will tell us a lot about this end of the season.

AC Milan, Napoli take care of business

AC Milan secured three huge points against Cagliari away. It was an intense match where both teams played to win the game but Rossoneri took it in the second half with a stunning play and goal by Ismael Bennacer. Stefano Pioli's side are now top of the league with three points more than Napoli, who won as well against Udinese thanks to a brace scored by Victor Osimhen (11 goals overall during this Serie A season).

Video Of How 'Fake Klay Thompson' Got Past The Warriors Security And Gets Shots On The Court

The Golden State Warriors ended up winning Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics and took a 3-2 lead in the series. It feels certain that the Dubs will win this series and win their fourth NBA Championship in the last eight years. While winning the finals will mean a lot for every player on the Dubs' roster, it will certainly mean more for Klay Thompson. Klay was sidelined due to injuries over the last two seasons and made a comeback this season. Finishing off the season with a ring will certainly be the cherry on top for him. Speaking of Klay Thompson, an incident took place around a certain lookalike of the Warriors' sharpshooter. We are sure you must remember the 'Fake Klay Thompson' who got famous a few years ago. Prior to Game 5 of the series, Fake Klay snuck into the Chase Center and got shots up before the matchup began. NBA fans found this hilarious, but it seems like the Warriors organization didn't. He was handed a lifetime ban from th...

Dennis Rodman Once Said He, Michael Jordan, And Scottie Pippen Could Lock Up LeBron James: "LeBron Is So Easy To Play. He’s So F**king Easy To Play. He Doesn’t Have Any Moves."

If there is something that will never end it is the comparison between players from different eras. Even in that niche, most comparisons revolve around the legendary players from the Chicago Bulls. Yes, we are talking about the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman. A perfect example of that was seen by fans back in a 2019 interview featuring Dennis Rodman. The Worm was asked about his thoughts on guarding none other than LeBron James. Rodman replied: (starts at 6:06) "You know who could lock up LeBron? Me, Mike, and Scottie could. F*ck yeah. I would have locked his a** up. LeBron is so easy to play. He’s so f*cking easy to play, he don’t have any moves. Only move he has is streak down the line. He ain’t got no moves. Where he going?? Where is he going that’s quick? That’ll be sh*t, you can stop that. Scottie Pippen would have shut his f*cking a** down quick before I get to him. His game is too simple, he’s just big. I’m 260 and 6’8” and 6’9”, that’s the onl...

Chris Paul blows fifth 2-0 series lead of career, an NBA record, and the legacy birds are going to be singing

The Phoenix Suns were gutted by Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks in Game 7 on Sunday, trailing by as many as 46 points in a 123-90 beating that somehow wasn't even as close as a 33-point margin would indicate. Chris Paul didn't make his first basket until the Suns were down by 40 at the 7:26 mark of the third quarter. He had one point at halftime. Finished with a completely useless 10 and a minus-39 for the game, the worst single-game point differential of his career. I don't want to make this about Paul's legacy. The Suns didn't lose because of Paul, though he surely didn't do anything to help them win. He was one of the five best point guards to ever play before this game tipped, and no, one game didn't change that. Paul's late-career surge has been a masterful chapter in a Hall of Fame career, and many of the playoff collapses to which he's been connected have been, at least to a degree, a product of some of the cruelest injury luck imagina...
