Shooting sleeves have been an integral part of basketball style for years.

Basketball. Two teams. Ten players on the court. Everyone knows which jersey they are wearing and which basket they need to score in. Simple things. Unless you are in the NBA in 1978, where a game took four months to complete. On November 8, the Philadelphia 76ers faced the New Jersey Nets. During the third […]
LeBron James left tens of millions of dollars on the table to wear the Philadelphia 76ers jersey.

Rumors, approaches from teams to players, player proposals from agents to teams, a merry-go-round of departures, total rebuilds… And then there is Barcelona! What happened this summer with the Catalans […]
LeBron James has officially made the biggest move of the NBA offseason, agreeing to join the Philadelphia 76ers and ending his eight-year tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers.

There are nights when everything goes wrong. You miss the bus, drop your coffee, and your phone battery dies. But then there is the night the Los Angeles Lakers had in Cleveland on February 5, 2014.

Then another. Six in a row from well beyond the arc. Mario Hezonja, a 20-year-old from Dubrovnik, Croatia. A few months later, Orlando selected […]
