The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the winningest franchises in NBA history, only the Boston Celtics have won as much as they have. And they are now two more series wins away from getting another championship to their name. LeBron James and Anthony Davis have been balling out, but the supporting cast has been the hero so far in the playoffs. And while the Lakers have momentum, they also have some fun facts from history strengthening their case. The Lakers and the Nuggets clashed in the Western Conference Finals in 2009, with Kobe Bryant en route to winning his first championship…

The Chicago Bulls and the Phoenix Suns have some big questions to answer this offseason, and they might have the solution to each other’s issues if they pay attention to their needs. DeMar DeRozan and Deandre Ayton could be swapped this offseason as their teams are looking to renew their hopes following a disappointing 2022-23 NBA season. “A more likely swap for the Suns and Bulls would center on sending out Ayton for DeMar DeRozan,” Heavy’s Sean Deveney wrote. “The Bulls have not shopped their star wing, but that could be coming, considering he is 33 and heading into the final…

The Golden State Warriors dynasty could be over, following the 21-point loss against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 of the second round of the playoffs. Instead of showing championship-caliber intangibles and forcing a Game 7, the Warriors were devastated and unable to take their chances on their homecourt in the final game. Nobody expected Golden State to go out as badly as they did, especially with Klay Thompson going 3-19 in Game 6 and Jordan Poole struggling throughout the playoffs (10.6 PPG on 26.7% 3-PT FG). Other than Stephen Curry (30.3 PPG on 37.1% 3-PT FG), Andrew Wiggins…

A furry friend was left alone in an industrial area and luckily stumbled upon a nearby fire station for some much-needed refuge.

As soon as the message was received, Hope For Paws quickly rushed to rescue the dog. The poor pup was covered in…

Two centuries and thirty years ago, a volcanic eruption resulted in the death of half the population. Despite this tragedy, the inhabitants of Agoshama refuse to let the volcano determine their fate. The year 1785 will always be remembered by the inhabitants of Aogashima, an island located approximately 200 miles south of Tokyo in the Philippine Sea. On May 18, the ground began to shake and the island’s volcano started emitting huge plumes of gas and smoke, hurling rocks, mud and other debris into the sky. By June 4, the island’s 327 residents were forced to evacuate, but only about…

A team of astronomers has claimed that observations of a sun-like star orbiting a small black hole might actually be the indication of something far more exotic – the existence of a boson star, a star composed entirely of dark matter. The Gaia survey, led by the European Space Agency, provided detailed maps of over a billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy. While almost all of those stars behaved as expected, there were some surprises. For example, one star in particular was seen orbiting a dark companion. The star itself was fairly typical, weighing in at 0.93 solar masses and…

We’ve touched on the hazards of solar storms plenty of times in the past. We’ve also recently started reporting even more stories involving some sort of AI, especially in the last few months since it has come back to the forefront of many discussions around technologies. So it should come as no surprise that a team at NASA has been busily applying AI models to solar storm data to develop an early warning system that they think could give the planet about 30 minutes notice before a potentially devastating solar storm hits a particular area. That lead time is thanks…

The birth of stars is one of the most fascinating and mysterious phenomena in the universe. How do clouds of gas and dust collapse under their own gravity and ignite into bright and powerful sources of light and energy? What are the factors that determine how many stars are formed from a single cloud, and how many of them will host planets? These are some of the questions that astronomers have been trying to answer for decades, but the process of star formation is often hidden from our view by thick layers of dust that block visible light. To overcome…

This amazing discovery would be incredible and historic enough just by virtue of the fact of its being located in Turkey and suggesting that Queen Nefertiti fled with a small band of followers and escaped her husband’s fate at the hands of the corrupt Amun Priesthood. But this historic find has even more secrets to reveal. The early testing of the artifacts reveals the extraordinary data that carbon dating tests put the age of the artifacts at approximately 10,000 BC, which throws a completely new light on the age of royal lineage of the Amarna ruling family. AKHENATEN Discovery Changes…

Perfectly preserved mummy of SETI I and the remains of the original wooden coffins were discovered in a cache of Deir El-Bahri in 1881. The mummified face of Menmaatre Seti I also known as Sety I of the New Kingdom’s Nineteenth Dynasty pleasantly surprised Egyptologists for its superior preservation. His face is regarded as one of the best preserved in the world as well as in Ancient Egypt’s annals. Dying about 3,298 years ago, Seti I is reckoned to have ruled when Egypt was at one of its most affluent peaks from 1290 to 1279 BCE. He was father to…

Over the past centuries, the remains of more than 500 men, women, and children have been unearthed during peat cutting activities in north-western Europe, especially in Ireland, Great Britain, the Netherlands, northern Germany, and Denmark.  Known as “bog bodies”, most date to the Iron Age, between 800 BC and 200 AD, and show a remarkable degree of preservation thanks to the acidic, oxygen-poor conditions of peat bogs, which are made up of accumulated layers of dead moss.  No one knows for sure who these people were and how they ended up in the bogs, but it seems that most bodies…

Sometimes, the desire to become a mother is so powerful that it almost manages to overcome barriers. Living proof is Lindsay Hay, who after numerous tries tried to become pregnant with quadruplets.

When Madison and Justin Collier discovered they would need to make more space than anticipated, they were getting ready to welcome what they believed to be their second and last addition to their metro Atlanta family. Madison Collier visited the doctor for a routine checkup without her husband and learned something she never would have imagined: she was expecting four children, not one. Collier showed something was off when her doctor asked her if she was taking any fertility drugs. She does not. Collier’s husband, Justin, was at home because he was dealing with allergies. So Collier was alone on…

A couple who were told they would struggle to have children went on to have twins and triplets within the space of two years. Nadia, 29, and Robbie Sherwin, 32 from Dallas, found themselves unable to conceive for a year after they married in 2012. Immediately after being married, the couple started trying for a child. Though they were both young, fit, and healthy, doctors were worried when they didn’t succeed. Doctors found Mrs Sherwin had polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and 37 cysts in her ovaries, making it difficult for her to become pregnant. Mrs Sherwin said: “I had eggs…

Draymond Green and LeBron James went from being fierce rivals to becoming very good friends that don’t hesitate to hype each other up. This has been a common thing in recent years, especially from Draymond, who can fight Shannon Sharpe for the title of LeBron’s biggest fan in the world. Moreover, things got to another level on Friday, as the Warriors big man embraced the King after the Lakers eliminated his Warriors. This is completely normal after every series ends, but Green took it to the next level, laughing and smiling with LeBron as his team looked defeated. https://www.instagram.com/p/CsK7w0BgVyP/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=c8f15785-1add-43da-96ef-deb3af393ee5 Of…

Since 1990, there has been no franchise in the NBA to match the level of success achieved by the Chicago Bulls. During the 1980s, the Bulls would transition from a franchise that had failed to appear in one NBA Finals into a dynasty that would win six NBA championships between 1991 and 1998, led by the greatest player of all time, Michael Jordan. It is hard to think that those dynasty days almost never happened until some key trades were made along the way to build the Bulls into the decorated franchise they are known as today. Every team needs…

Is it possible that ancient cultures were interconnected thousands of years ago? According to thousands of underground tunnels that stretch from North Scotland towards the Mediterranean the answer is a big yes. While the reason behind these sophisticated tunnels remains a mystery, many experts believe that this huge 12,000-year-old network was built as a protection against predators and other dangers 12,000 years ago. Some experts believe that these mysterious tunnels were used as modern-day highways, allowing the transition of people and connecting them to distant places across Europe. In the book Secrets Of The Underground Door To An Ancient World…

We don’t know what the chances are that four members in one family have the same white patch of hair, but we’re guessing they’re small. Still, when MilliAnna Worthy of Ridgeland, South Carolina, was born, that’s precisely what occurred. Her mother, Brianna, as well as her grandmother and great-grandmother, have the same unusual genetic heritage as the young girl, who is now 18 months old. The debate around birthmarks being genetic or random has gone on for the longest time. While some say these marks appear randomly, others believe the gene game has an important role to play in their…

The lonely galaxy 3C 297, located 9.2 billion light-years from Earth, has unique characteristics typically found in galaxy clusters.
