NBA fans, especially over the past 15 years, have always been enamored with the offensive side of the ball and particularly scoring. The discussions when it comes to all-time greats in the game of basketball always seem to surround scoring and how much a player averaged for a season, scored in a single game, or how much they have scored in their entire careers. I do not blame them. Highlight reel plays, and scoring outbursts are certainly exciting. It’s just that scoring isn’t the only aspect of basketball, and players have made entire Hall of Fame careers off of being…

After the change, a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters in the United States and Canada began…
The Los Angeles Lakers might be the one franchise linked to every remotely available player before the trade deadline. The Lakers have been vocal about wanting to make trades and have already begun by acquiring Rui Hachimura from the Washington Wizards. The team has more holes in their roster though, and adding quality role players would elevate their chances of getting back to the postseason. Anthony Davis has made his return to the court, and LeBron James is still playing at a level that most people can’t even believe. If AD can stay healthy, the Lakers have every chance of making the playoffs…

Located in southeastern Xinjiang, Lop Nur was once the second largest saltwater lake in China. However, it completely dried up about 1,500 years ago, merging into the Gobi Desert. Legend has it that in Lop Nur, there is an ancient treasure hidden by the Lou Lan people, attracting countless antique traders and explorers to search for treasures. But it’s all a no return. Therefore, Lop Nur was once called the “Dead Sea”. Who would have thought that Lop Nur, which was arid for thousands of years, with sharp salt bodies that could pierce anything, is no longer a forbidden place…
In Southeast Asia, there is also a Pyramid, the embodiment of an advanced but extremely mysterious civilization.

To date, scientists have found 138 pyramids in Egypt. However, few people know that in Southeast Asia there is also a very special pyramid. It is even considered the oldest pyramid on Earth, which archaeologists have not yet identified. Gunung…
