The end of Friday night's Game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Charlotte Hornets probably isn't what Dr. James Naismith envisioned when he invented the modern Game of basketball. The final minute of the Lakers' 134-130 loss was marked by goaltending calls, turnovers and one unbelievable moment involving LeBron James. With six seconds remaining in the Game , the Lakers had possession down by two points, with a chance to tie or take the lead. James took the sideline inbounds pass from Patrick Beverley and quickly started his move toward the basket. The problem? Only one of his shoes decided to come with him. As he tried to plant on his socked foot, he slid across the Lakers logo on the Crypto.com Arena floor and fell to the hardwood. Credit to James for having the awareness to find Dennis Schroder in the corner before being called for a traveling violation or dropping the ball out of bounds. Schrod...

Luka Doncic scored 50 points on 30 shots on Friday, and the Mavericks needed every one of them to fend off the Rockets in a 112-106 victory. Doncic added 10 assists, eight rebounds and three steals for fun.  Doncic, in just his fifth season, now has two 50-point games to his credit, with the other being a 51-point effort against the Clippers -- his personal punching bag -- last season. That matches the career total of Dirk Nowitzki, who played 21 seasons. Doncic has also surpassed Nowitzki with 21 career 40-point games.  Luka Dončić had 50 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists tonight. Dončić joins Dirk Nowitzki (2) as the only Mavs to record multiple 50-point games. Tonight was also his 5th game with 45+ points, breaking a tie with Mark Aguirre (4) for the most 45-point games in franchise history. pic.twitter.com/jj8dgkTH0s — Mavs PR (@MavsPR) December 24, 2022 So here's where every...

Is it true that the Annunaki mutilated the earth lings? Many people are drawn to the History of the ancient civilization of the Sumerians, which existed in vast Mesopotamia more than 6,000 years ago. Scientists are still racking their brains about how the representatives of those Mysterious people (Annunaki) knew about the ternary accounting system and understood the structure of the solar system. The Sumerians correctly positioned the planets from the Sun, with only one discrepancy: the planet Nibiru was depicted between Mars and Jupiter. The name of the celestial body translates as “transition point”. And Nibiru crosses time. They say that the next time humanity will be able to see it will be in 2100. The Sumerians kept records detailing the Annunaki, or “sky people,” who flew to Earth from Nibiru. They were described as highly developed giants, up to 5 meters tall. The Sumerians decided that they were the gods who had created...

Microsoft is headed for a battle with the Federal Trade Commission over whether the U.S. will block the tech giant’s planned takeover of video game company Activision Blizzard Microsoft is headed for a battle with the Federal Trade Commission over whether the U.S. will block the tech giant's planned takeover of video game company Activision Blizzard. Microsoft on Thursday filed a formal challenge to the FTC lawsuit's declaring the $68.7 billion deal an illegal acquisition that should be stopped. After years of avoiding the political backlash that has been directed at big tech peers such as Amazon and Google, the software giant now appears to be on a collision course with U.S. regulators emboldened by President Joe Biden's push to get tough on anti-competitive behavior. The FTC claims the merger could violate antitrust laws by suppressing competitors to Microsoft’s Xbox game console and its growing Xbox Game Pass subscription business. At the center of the ...

Overwatch 2’s roster features a lot of different heroes wielding a lot of different weapons. There are shotguns, pistols, machine guns, assault rifles, laser guns, massive tazers, sniper rifles, grenade launchers, rocket launchers, energy blasters, prayer beads, bows and arrows, ice beams, and many, many more. But the one weapon that Overwatch 2 doesn’t have is a flamethrower.

States are racing against a deadline to challenge the map federal officials will use to divvy up the nation’s largest-ever investment in high-speed internet LOS ANGELES -- States are racing against a deadline to challenge the map federal officials will use to divvy up the nation's largest-ever investment in high-speed internet. At stake is a share of the $42.5 billion Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment program, part of the infrastructure measure President Joe Biden signed into law last year. States have until Jan. 13 to challenge a broadband speed map the Federal Communications Commission released last month that, for the first time, illustrates the haves and have nots of internet access down to specific street addresses. Critics have long suspected that the number of people with internet connections has been overstated by the government, in part because agencies creating the maps have deferred to telecommunications companies to say where service is provid...

The MV-22B Osprey is a V/STOL tiltrotor designed to replace the medium lift for the CH-46E Sea Knight attack support helicopter. The Osprey can operate as a helicopter or propeller plane and offers twice the speed , six times the range and three times the payload of the CH-46E.

EU Warns Repeat Boosters Could Weaken Immune System I’m not a doctor but this was pretty obvious. The immune system has to be built back up and that’s by exposure. A mask just took two years of exposure away. Those long term effects outweigh anybody just trying to take a week off of work. BREAKING: European Union regulators warn that frequent Covid-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune system and may not be feasible. https://t.co/F1GhLpYYt8 — Jack Posobiec 🍊 (@JackPosobiec) January 11, 2022 Source Spread the love Tweet ...
