Jordan’s own dominance in Chicago, however, also ensured other potentially era-defining NBA teams never quite established themselves. If it wasn’t for Jordan, Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing may not have retired without an NBA tittle to their names. The former and his Phoenix Suns lost to MJ in the 1993 NBA Finals, while the latter’s New York Knicks were defeated five times in six playoffs meetings against the Bulls between 1989 to 1996....

From his breakout 2004 Athens Olympics performance through his final games in the 2016 Rio Summer Games, Michael Phelps was the premier talent in the sport, with no one displaying the kind of success he had in the history of swimming.

At the time of his free agency, though, Leonard choosing the Clippers was far from a certainty. The famously private superstar offered no indications about his feelings toward the Clippers, Lakers, Raptors or any other team. There were daily rumors and questions about the Leonard sweepstakes until the Clippers finally secured him and then-Thunder forward Paul George via a trade with Oklahoma City. That crazy process is back in the news after a man who claims to be close to Leonard recently filed a lawsuit against the Clippers and team consultant Jerry West, according to a TMZ Sports report....

The start of the 2017 Malaysian football season is shaping up to be among the most disorganised start to a new season in recent years. Several teams had threatened to withdraw due to lack of funding, fixtures were released with teams still without a home ground, and at the last minute, several grounds were found to have inadequate lighting resulting in changes to kick-off times. It’s a good thing then that every new Super League season starts strong with the charity shield, the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Cup, which pits last season’s league champions against the Malaysia Cup champions....
