Charlotte Flair
is the Queen of WWE, even though she lost her most recent match against Tiffany Stratton during WrestleMania 41. But other than her wrestling abilities, Flair has recently been making headlines after her third divorce from
WWE
star Andrade. The former couple got married in 2022 and divorced less than 2 years later in October of 2024, although the news was only made public earlier this year. But looks like the Nature Girl is ready to move on from her past, as she was seen attending the
NBA Playoffs
alongside Alex Rodriguez.

Alex Rodriguez and Charlotte Flair are rumored to have come to the
Minnesota Timberwolves
vs.
Los Angeles Lakers
game together and then were seen sitting together at courtside. While there has been no word on this link-up from either party, fans are already speculating what could be going on behind the cameras. Charlotte Flair is fresh off her third divorce, from wrestling star Andrade. But A-Rod, until this recent rumor, was known to be dating fitness instructor and JacFit founder, Jaclyn Cordeiro.

The two have not posted much about each other in the last few weeks, which is why rumors of A-Rod and Flair's chemistry are gaining traction. But given Cordeiro posted a story of the Minnesota Timberwolves advancing in the Playoffs after eliminating the Lakers, many are confused if the two have broken up or are still together.
Shane McMahon also attended the Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Los Angeles Lakers game
It was not just
Charlotte Flair
who was in attendance for the night, as another professional wrestler - the son of Vince and Linda McMahon was also courtside for the Timberwolves vs. Lakers game. Shane McMahon was also seen chatting with Flair and Rodriguez before the game.
McMahon was last seen making an appearance in the WWE during WrestleMania 39. Since then, he has been keeping himself away from the squared ring and focusing on other ventures. But it was nice seeing him catch up with an old friend as he and Charlotte Flair were seen chatting up before the Playoff game began.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Doncic, who was the center of shockwaves during the trade that sent him from his Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers in February 2025, needed this feedback. Luka Doncic's defensive mindset under scrutiny During the press conference, Payton stated, "I don't think Luka is a defensive player; he's a scorer. But now, if he wants to, yes. But does he want to do it? That's up to him, not up to us." He went on to discuss how crucial mindset is for playing defense, emphasizing that it takes commitment, quickness, and a readiness to make sacrifices.

Doncic's move to the Lakers was part of a three-team trade that included the Utah Jazz, making it the first instance in NBA history where two current All-NBA Team players were exchanged during the season. The team explained that they made the trade to address the issue of team defense when they parted with Doncic and took in Anthony Davis. People were very critical of the team's decision and it prompted many discussions about where the Mavericks were headed. Despite the mixed reactions, Doncic is really looking forward to joining the Lakers and playing alongside LeBron James. On a recent podcast, he shared that the experience is "incredible" and complimented James's dedication. Still, Doncic noted that he's having a tough time adjusting to life in Los Angeles, especially with the heavy traffic.

Nine rare moments in NBA history when the finals ended without a fight
NBA Finals sweeps are rare events. Only nine teams have achieved this feat. The Boston Celtics first swept the Minneapolis Lakers in 1959. Later, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Bucks, Rick Barry's Warriors, and Moses Malone's 76ers also swept their rivals. The Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets, Kobe Bryant's Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, and Kevin Durant's Warriors completed the list. A clean sweep in the NBA Finals doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it sticks in fans' minds for years. Just nine times in the league's history has a team won the championship without dropping a single game in the series. With big names like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar , Rick Barry, and Kevin Durant at the center, every one of those moments tells a tale of power, unity, and full control on the sport's biggest platform. It's rare, yet powerful. These moments show top-level skill, but they also make people wonder, was the other side weak? Let's go back and see who made a sweep, and how! Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Rick Barry made it look easy Only nine times in NBA history has a team won in the Finals in four games. This is known as a "sweep." It has happened in just 11.6% of the 77 total NBA Finals. Led by Bill Russell, the Boston Celtics defeated the Minneapolis Lakers 4-0 in April 1959, in the first sweep. Russell pulled an average of 29.5 rebounds per game. Boston's eight-year championship started with this win. In April 1971, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson helped the Milwaukee Bucks sweep the Baltimore Bullets. It was quick and powerful. But things changed after that. For a very long period, the Bucks would not sample another championship. Not until 2021. Led by Rick Barry, the Golden State Warriors stunned everyone in May 1975 by sweeping the Washington Bullets. The Bullets' season record was significantly better. Still, the Warriors won two of the games by just one point. With Moses Malone, Julius Erving, Maurice Cheeks, and Andrew Toney, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Los Angeles Lakers four straight in June 1983. Predicting sweeps in every round, Malone had said before the playoffs, "Fo', Fo', Fo'," Almost right he was; they lost only one game during the whole playoffs. The tables turned in June 1989, as the Detroit Pistons won every game in the previous rounds, crushing the Los Angeles Lakers. In Game 2, however, Magic Johnson damaged his hamstring, further complicating the Los Angeles Lakers' circumstances. Nine rare moments in NBA history when the finals ended without a fight (Image Source : Getty Images) Hakeem Olajuwon, Kobe Bryant , and Kevin Durant finished it fast In June 1995, the Houston Rockets vanquished the Orlando Magic. Hakeem Olajuwon scored more than 30 points in every game. Certainly. Playing in his first NBA Finals with the Orlando Magic, Shaquille O'Neal was given the Finals MVP honors. Shaq returned in 2002 along with Kobe Bryant. Together, they steered the Los Angeles Lakers to sweep over the New Jersey Nets. That triumph provided the Lakers with their third straight championship. In 2007, LeBron James carried the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Finals. Still, the Spurs were just too strong. Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginóbili kept them from breathing. San Antonio triumphed in every four games. LeBron saw a sweep one last time here. Led by Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors closed down the Cavaliers once again in 2018. Before he headed to Los Angeles, LeBron played Cleveland for the last time. Moses Malone stood in L.A. in 1983 following a commanding Finals and remarked, "We were too strong." The squad had swept the series just now. "We played by heart," he remarked, "We knew we could take all four." Also Read: Ernakulam schools hold sessions on life skills, wellness sessions
