It’s expected to be easy. But that’s something reserve guard Andre Iguodala disputed. MORE: 11 players set to take over the NBA “It’s always a long goal, it should be the goal for everybody,” Iguodala said at media day Monday. “Understanding that it is supposed to be hard. If it is not hard, it doesn’t quite feel — it doesn’t feel as satisfying. It’s like, ah, whatever. It’s like paying for muscles when you didn’t work for them....

Any sane human being will have known that lining up against a Pep Guardiola side, especially a Bayern outfit with the likes of Phillipp Lamm, Toni Kroos and Bastian Schweinsteger in central midfield, with a two-man midfield, was suicide. But unfortunately for City fans, Pellegrini’s insistence on playing high-tempo, pressing football meant that City’s central midfield duo were easily over run over by the sheer class of the opposition....

The pile-up occurred at around 3:45 p.m. on New Jersey’s Route 17 South in Paramus, according to the Daily Voice. Among the individuals involved, three suffered minor injuries and needed to be taken to the hospital for treatment. One particular vehicle occupant suffered no injuries in the midst of the chaos, since they were already dead. A Honda Odyssey en route to a funeral home from a nearby hospital was involved in the crash....

Though most games in the series reimagined the features of its predecessors, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia managed to simultaneously pay homage to the game’s history while breaking the mold in unexpected ways. It retains the core elements of a Fire Emblem game, but its experiments with new mechanics pushed the boundaries of what a Fire Emblem game could be. Though a remake of an old Fire Emblem title, Shadows of Valentia provided an uncommon experience that laid the groundwork for the success of Fire Emblem: Three Houses....

People know that Santosh returned to the Cross Country Rallies World Championship after getting third degree burns the year before (2013), and that he became the first Indian to finish the Dakar. But what they don’t know is why he does what he does. What makes him wake up every morning and get on his bike and ride hard. Because every day, whether he’s riding in Dakar or at his Motocross Park, he’s “chasing rainbows....

LeDuc, 31, along with their partner, Ashley Cain-Gribble, 26, was named to the team following a dazzling performance in the Olympic qualifiers at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. LeDuc released a statement afterward in which they reiterated their hope that they would pave the way for future nonbinary athletes to compete on the world stage. “It’s really exciting, but I hope that the narrative does not center around me and my journey and my accomplishments, but that the narrative switches to queer people having the opportunity to be open and be authentic to themselves and everything that makes them unique and still achieve in sport,” LeDuc reportedly stated....

The game will be a subscription-based MMO, which will provide an interesting challege for Mojang. While they’re online system for Minecraft is certainly popular, their system of updates keep server administrators busy clearing out those new bugs. In an online environment, the same system of updates could wreak havoc on gamers and servers alike. For now, though, we’re just excited that we have something to go along with the brief description for 0x10c....

Legally, Washington is in the right. Although experts at the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade have twice affirmed U.S. complaints that EC subsidies unfairly reduce demand for U.S. soy and sunflower oil, the EC has refused to fix the problem. That entitles the United States to strike back in kind. But the sanctions have less to do with those legal claims than with the 110-nation Uruguay Round talks. Easing barriers to farm trade has been Washington’s top priority, but the EC, largely at France’s behest, has offered only minor reductions in export subsidies....

Since then a few more details have surfaced here and there, but for the most part Telltale has stayed focused on The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us – their more immediate properties. And when they weren’t busy breaking our hearts with Clementine’s story, Telltale was slowly unveiling details for Tales from the Borderlands. All that is to say we still don’t know much about this Game of Thrones game, but it looks like that might soon change....

Portal Knights is the first game on the free Xbox Live Games With Gold for August 2020 list, and it will be available throughout the whole month. While the game bears some visual similarities to Minecraft, and even some gameplay mechanics too, the title has more in common with the Minecraft Dungeons spin-off. RELATED: Xbox Live Gold Could Be Going Away That being said, Portal Knights players can also indulge their creativity by building bases and customizing their characters into different classes....

The 24-year-old left-armer missed New Zealand’s eight-wicket win in the series-opener in Christchurch last week, after he was struck on his right wrist by a ball during training with Northern Districts three weeks ago. Santner replaces all-rounder Jimmy Neesham, who heads back to domestic cricket, and adds another slow bowling option with leg-spinner Todd Astle for the match in Hamilton starting on Friday. “With him and Todd in the team, it gives us the opportunity to play two spinners if required,” selector Gavin Larsen said in a media release on Monday....

Fitzpatrick had better be the answer. MORE: Goodbye, drama-filled offseason, we won’t miss you There had better be at least one playoff game. Better, a playoff bye. How they manage that, who knows. The Jets still play in the same division as the Patriots. They also play in the same division as the Bills, who intercepted Fitzpatrick five times in two Jets losses last season: losses that can easily be described as the ones that kept 10-6 New York out of the playoffs....

The Nets star nearly propelled Brooklyn into the 2021 Eastern Conference finals with what initially appeared to be a game-winning 3-pointer but was correctly ruled a game-tying 2-pointer in Game 7 of the Nets’ second-round series against the Bucks. Milwaukee went on to win in overtime, of course, and eventually capture the NBA championship.

On Tuesday, Dec. 13, the NBA revealed that the league’s most prestigious individual honor has a reimagined trophy honoring the career of Michael Jordan. Widely considered one of the greatest players of all time, Jordan earned 14 All-Star selections, 11 All-NBA selections and six championships in his Hall of Fame career. He was named MVP five times, tying him with Bill Russell for the second-most all-time. The only player with more MVP trophies?...

So New Zealand’s elimination meant the job became a lot easier for Indian now. However, the utter disregard for West Indies has come back to haunt them as the Calypso kings washed the Men in Blue to the shore of elimination. Chasing a total of 193, luck favoured the Windies as Lendl Simmons and Andre Russel saw over the chase. One can certainly say that memories of the match will not fade away, quite like the Axe Signature line of body perfumes....

It was clear that Conte wasn’t happy at Chelsea, and it was no surprise to see him leave the club. He won the Premier League title in impressive style during his first season at the club, successfully switching up to a 3-4-3 system after a tough start. However, cracks appeared in his relationship with the board, mainly over transfer business. The board were unhappy with Conte’s treatment of Diego Costa, who he told by text was no longer a part of his plans, while the Italian was disappointed by the board’s failure to bring in his top targets, and their decision to sell midfielder Nemanja Matic to rivals Manchester United....
