After nine months of waiting, the moment finally comes to meet the little 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 that kicked you at night and wouldn’t let you sleep. A moment that you have dreamed of a million times but, when it comes to reality, you are not prepared for the emotions that flood you. And the truth is that the moment you hug your new𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 for the first time cannot be compared to anything! You can finally see it with your own eyes! You talk to it every day, you feel it growing, you’ve seen it on the ultrasound and you often feel like…
The Los Angeles Lakers saw how their big plans turned out to be a complete nightmare after the Russell Westbrook trade didn’t work out as expected. They let go of a big part of their roster to land Russ, who didn’t perform at the best level and earned a lot of criticism from fans and media members. Now, Westbrook is playing better, but the Lakers are still struggling to find their pace this campaign. After Anthony Davis went down with a right foot injury, the team’s momentum came to an end, and now are trying to win some games without…
The Chicago Bulls of the 90s dominated the NBA however they wanted. During that decade, they won six championships in eight years, shared between two three-peats. Some say they could have done so much more if certain situations never took place, but the Bulls took the most advantage of their good times. During their second three-peat, the Bulls beat the Seattle Supersonics and the Utah Jazz (twice), confirming that they were the best team in the world during that magical run. Unfortunately, we never got to see if a new team could take them out as they did with the…
Charles Barkley never won a championship during his NBA career, although he was very close to lifting the Larry O’Brien trophy. He faced big teams on the way to the Finals or in the biggest series of all, but Chuck could never stop them and had to make peace with that fact. However, there was a time when he and two other legends could have finally won that desired NBA championship but things didn’t come to fruition for them. The 1999-2000 NBA season was a huge one for the league and Barkley, who would hang the shoes. Before that season…

NBA fans keep messing around with the All-Star voting process, making big and crazy decisions, as it happens every year. The league has tried to make some changes to avoid this, but they always find a way to troll them and worry the rest of the fans about the outcome of the voting. Austin Reaves has become one of the best things the Los Angeles Lakers have for showing this 2022-23 NBA season. The young point guard already showed flashes of his quality last season and has taken things to the next level this one. He’s even been so bold that he’s…

In a case that has sparked controversy in Germany, teacher Annegret Raunigk – who has already had 13 children – gave birth to the quadruplets by Caesarian section after travelling to Ukraine for fertility treatment with anonymous sperm and egg donors. The three baby boys and a girl, who weighed between 655 and 960 grams (1.4 to 2.1 pounds) at birth, were described by Buehrer as “absolute high risk” cases. Two of the newborns had to be given help breathing, and two had to undergo surgery. Remarkably, Raunigk’s pregnancy was free of major complications and all her babies weighed more…
A 30-year-old Welsh mom from Wales experienced the miracle of life four times over in just 11 months — and no, they’re not quadruplets. Becky John, of Swansea, thought it would be nice for her baby daughter Mya to have a similarly aged sibling to play with and decided to conceive another child with her partner Jason Evans. John, who gave birth to Mya in February, became pregnant just one week later and was shocked to discover she would be giving birth to triplets. “I had to stare at the screen just to make sure for myself. And I counted…

When Katie Voelcker thinks about her life before she had quadruplets, she remembers reading books, tending to housework, and spontaneous trips to the park with her 4-year-old son, Tyler. “Now,” says Katie, who lives with husband Allen in Chestertown, Md., “things are a little more hectic.” Photo credits: Katie Carter Voelcker On the day Katie Voelcker gave birth, she was surrounded by a team of 26 nurses and doctors to help care for her babies. “The C-section procedure went very well. It was uncomplicated,” says Anthony Moorman, MD, one of the OB-GYNs who delivered the babies. Photo credits: Katie Carter…
Throughout NBA history, there have been few players who enjoyed the peak success that Shaquille O’Neal enjoyed during his prime. O’Neal went on to have a run during the late 90s and 2000s that many call the most dominant run in NBA history. O’Neal bullied his way to an MVP award, 4 NBA championships, and 3 Finals MVP awards in his career. O’Neal’s big build and big personality created many rivalries over the years in which he lost some and won most. Today, we are going to focus on the matchups that O’Neal dominated over the course of his career. Just as…
Throughout history, for one reason or another, there have been many civilizations and countries that cease to exist in 2022-23. Even as recently as the entire 90s and early 00s, countries have peacefully, and not so peacefully, split into smaller countries and territorial lands. The most fascinating part of this is that some of the NBA players that we watch and admire today were born into these conflicts and splits of countries. Although they may not be able to remember what was happening during these times, it still fits an interesting pattern with NBA players today. Of course, there have…
Luka Doncic and LeBron James look like very similar players in different eras with different skill sets. While LeBron is arguably the most physically gifted athlete to ever enter the NBA, Doncic is a true child prodigy that has the size of a forward but the skill set of a guard. Both dominated the league since being drafted and go from strength to strength every season. We’ve already seen what James has achieved, with the all-time scoring record within his hand’s grasp. Many have suggested Luka Doncic will one day break the record himself, given his high-scoring output since he was drafted in…
On paper, the Los Angeles Clippers have one of the deepest teams in basketball. Guys like Paul George, John Wall, Ivica Zubac, and Norman Powell have been huge for the Clips and it’s a big part of the reason for their mid-season turnaround. As far as the Clippers go, they will only go where Kawhi Leonard takes them. And while have seen him win a couple of championships already, he has not yet done it in Los Angeles. Truth be told, he’s barely played at all since joining the Clippers. Due to injuries, load management, and various other reasons, Kawhi…
Superstar actor Dwayne Johnson pitched a future DCEU to Warner Bros. Discovery that would’ve involved a Black Adam vs. Henry Cavill’s Superman movie plans. An uncommon marketing decision was made during Black Adam’s press tour, which involved The Rock spoiling the films post-credit scene. The scene brought back Superman actor Henry Cavill, giving fans hope that the actor would return for a Man of Steel 2 or a future DC crossover movie. Less than four months after the film’s release, Cavill’s return and the entirety of Black Adam feel irrelevant after DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn announced that Cavill will not return as the Man of Steel and the writer/director has begun penning an entirely…

ᴅʏɪɴɢ father cried as he held newborn baby in his arms for 45 minutes. It was particularly moving to see Mark Aulger hold his baby girl Savannah for the first time.
