GRANT HILL TO JOIN NBC SPORTS' NBA COVERAGE AS GAME ANALYST
STAMFORD, Conn. – June 24, 2025 – Grant Hill, a member of both the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame, will join NBC Sports' NBA coverage as a game analyst when the NBA returns to NBC and debuts on Peacock this fall.
Hill's illustrious 18-season NBA career includes countless accomplishments and accolades: a seven-time NBA All-Star, including four consecutive appearances from 1995-1998; five-time All-NBA selection, including First Team in 1997; NBA Co-Rookie of the Year in 1995; a gold medalist with Team USA at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics; three-time NBA Sportsmanship Award winner; and culminated his professional career with enshrinement in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2018. Throughout his career, Hill spent time with the Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, and Los Angeles Clippers.
Since retiring in 2013, Hill has made a successful transition to NBA and college basketball broadcasting, having called the past 10 Final Fours as an analyst for TNT Sports and CBS Sports' joint coverage of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament as well as high-profile regular season NBA games and playoff series. His versatility as a broadcaster extends to the studio, where he has spent time as a host and analyst on programs such as NBA TV's GameTime and NBA Inside Stuff. Hill will continue his role at TNT Sports, serving as a college basketball analyst for TNT Sports and CBS Sports' joint coverage of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament as well as TNT's coverage of Big East and Big 12 basketball.
'I'm incredibly excited to join NBC Sports as part of their NBA coverage. The NBA has been such a meaningful part of my life, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue sharing the game I love with fans across the country,' said Hill. 'To be part of NBC's return to the NBA — a network with such a rich basketball legacy — and its debut on Peacock is truly an honor. I can't wait to get started this fall.'
Hill is fully entrenched within the game of basketball. In addition to his playing and broadcasting careers, he's currently USA Basketball's managing director of the U.S. Men's National Team, succeeding Jerry Colangelo in the position and helping Team USA earn a gold medal victory at the Paris Olympics in 2024. Hill is a part-owner of the Atlanta Hawks and co-owner of MLS' Orlando City SC and NWSL's Orlando Pride, and is also part of the Baltimore Orioles' ownership group.
'With an unparalleled basketball resume which includes Coach K calling him the best player to ever suit up for Duke, Grant will be a tremendous asset to our coverage,' said Sam Flood, Executive Producer, NBC Sports. 'He's an accomplished broadcaster whose basketball IQ, insight, and intellect will continue to resonate with NBA fans across the country.'
The third overall pick by the Pistons in 1994, Hill had a storied college career at Duke, winning back-to-back national titles in 1991 and 1992 and becoming only the eighth player in Duke history to have his jersey number retired. He was an integral part of one of the most famous plays in college basketball history in the 1992 East Regional Final, heaving the inbounds pass three-quarters of the length of the court to his teammate, Christian Laettner, who hit a game-winning jump shot as time expired to send the Blue Devils to the Final Four. During Hill's time as a Blue Devil, he was named ACC Player of the Year in 1994 and was a two-time All-American. Hill was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in 2014, Duke Sports Hall of Fame in 2016 and was named to the ACC 50th Anniversary men's basketball team in 2002.

Stephen A. Smith Warns Gilbert Arenas On Drastic Consequences Of Treating Federal Charges As A Joke
Stephen A. Smith Warns Gilbert Arenas On Drastic Consequences Of Treating Federal Charges As A Joke originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Gilbert Arenas came back into the center of controversy years after his gun charges cost him a suspension in the NBA during his career. Earlier this week, Arenas was arrested by federal agents on charges of running an illegal gambling business, in connection with a member of an Israeli transnational crime group. Just a few hours later, Arenas was indicted, and he pleaded 'not guilty' and was allowed to submit a bail bond valued at $50,000. Following this, he went on a freedom press tour off-sorts, despite the trial date being set for late September. He called out multiple people, including Kwame Brown, and did not seem to have a care in the world as he openly admitted he would turn on the other defendants linked with him in this case. This press tour did not sit well with Stephen A. Smith, who has personally known Arenas for multiple years. In the latest episode he recored of his podcast, Smith directly addressed Arenas out of concern. Stephen A. started by clarifying that none of this is hostile, and he respects Gilbert Arenas and his knowledge of the game at a very high level. But he admitted he was 'alarmed' by what Arenas said. 'In light of what he's being accused of, however, I'm still gonna say to Gil, Bro, I need you not to play around. Because my brother, I don't want to see you in jail at all." 'It's not a good look. It's nothing to laugh about. It's nothing to joke around about and think is funny when the feds come raiding your home. I don't want to see that. I don't want to hear about anything like that.' 'I can assure you, anybody who wants to do business with you, and I'm one of those people. ESPN, Underdog, a whole bunch of sponsors and advertisers, we don't want to see that. 'Anybody that knows anything about you and your knowledge of the game and your ability to articulate and deliver your positions, my brother, you are a special talent. We don't want to see that [going to jail].' 'And the reason why I felt compelled to come on the airwaves and address you directly is because I want to remind you of what really got you in trouble in the NBA to begin with. Remember that years ago…Remember all of that with the guns in the locker room? Remember all of that? Remember all of that that happened? 'And you remember what really got you in trouble thereafter? Because, as bad of a look as that was, and as much as former Commissioner David Stern and others were ready to bring the heavy hand down upon you, what really exacerbated the situation is that you had a game a night or two later against the Philadelphia 76ers... You were joking around, feigning as if you were shooting guns.' 'And David Stern went ballistic. It was like somebody like you had no place in this league. Because it's not a joking matter to other people. And the reality is, is that my brother, it shouldn't be a joking matter to you.' As a result of the gun charges in 2009, Arenas was suspended for 50 games as his behavior seemed to enrage David Stern, per Smith. Similarly, Smith believes that to a court of law, such behaviour after his arrest may not be seen as positively as Arenas hopes for it to be. The trial is set to begin on September 23, as Gilbert Arenas could be looking at 15 years in prison (three counts, five years maximum sentence for each).This story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Aug 4, 2025, where it first appeared.

Every NBA Team's All-Time 3-Point Leader: Stephen Curry's Record Will Last Forever
Every NBA Team's All-Time 3-Point Leader: Stephen Curry's Record Will Last Forever originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Every franchise has its sharpshooting legend, and in this piece, we'll spotlight the players who stand above the rest as the all-time three-point kings for each NBA team. These aren't just numbers; they're the threads of the three-point era, painting a picture of how each team evolved (or didn't) to embrace the long ball. Expect names you know, like Stephen Curry, blowing past every mark, and surprising vaults by unexpected heroes who redefined their franchises with distance shooting. There's no soft landing in this list: Curry's jaw-dropping 4,058 career threes make him a one-man dynasty for Golden State; no one else is even in the same zip code. But it's not just about the NBA's greatest shooter; every team has its own story. Let's provide the single greatest three-point shooter in each franchise's history in total makes. Atlanta Hawks Trae Young - 1,277 3PM, 35.2% 3PT Trae Young has etched his name atop Hawks history with 1,277 made three-pointers over seven seasons (483 games) since being drafted in 2018. He's averaged 25.3 points, 9.8 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game, playing around 34.4 minutes while hitting over 35% from downtown. He also has six straight seasons of averaging at least 24 points per game. That is a solid blend of volume and precision that reshaped Atlanta's identity and made him the face of their modern era. Hopefully, the Hawks can capitalize on their point guard's presence and begin building a contender in the Eastern Conference. Boston Celtics Paul Pierce - 1,823 3PM, 44.7 % 3PT Over an iconic 15-year Celtics career and 1,102 games, Paul 'The Truth' Pierce drained 1,823 threes at an elite 37.0% clip, while averaging 21.8 PPG, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game, a clutch, efficient marksman with unmatched longevity who anchored Boston's deep scoring for over a decade. Many remember Pierce for being a go-to scorer in the mid-range and even in the paint, but he was a lethal shooter from deep. Make no mistake, if Pierce played today, he would rank among the 3-point leaders in terms of makes. Brooklyn Nets Joe Harris - 984 3PM, 44.0% 3PT Joe Harris stands at the summit of Brooklyn Nets franchise history with 984 career three-pointers made, vaulting past Jason Kidd's previous record of 813 over seven productive seasons in Brooklyn (2016-2023) in 432 games. During his Nets tenure, Harris averaged 11.6 PPG, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game, while playing 26.9 minutes per contest and shooting a scorching 44.0% from deep on roughly 5.2 attempts per game, a rare model of volume and accuracy. In the 2020-21 season alone, he drilled a franchise-best 211 threes, leading the NBA in three-point percentage that year (47.5%) and doubling down on his reputation as among the league's elite long-range marksmen. Charlotte Hornets Kemba Walker - 1,283 3PM, 35.7% 3PT Kemba Walker tops Hornets history with 1,283 made threes, accumulated over eight-plus seasons while averaging roughly 19.8 PPG, 5.5 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game. To no one's surprise, Walker will likely hold that record until LaMelo Ball most likely beats him. Kemba's street-ball flair and consistent scoring made him the clear deep threat who lifted Charlotte's mid-2000s identity. Walker might not have delivered much success for the franchise, but he won't be forgotten as a true marksman. Chicago Bulls Zach LaVine - 1,130 3PM, 39.0% 3PT Zach LaVine stands alone atop Chicago Bulls history with 1,130 made three-pointers, overtaking Kirk Hinrich's 1,049 to become the franchise's deep-ball king as of July 2025. LaVine amassed that total across eight seasons and 416 games in Chicago, averaging 24.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and roughly 34.5 minutes per game, while shooting 39.0% from deep. His tenure from 2017-18 through 2024-25 saw him evolve into one of the league's most dynamic scorers, blending volume and accuracy as a modern shooting guard. In terms of having the purest and beautiful sniper of a shot, LaVine ranks among the top players in the league today. Cleveland Cavaliers LeBron James - 1,251 3PM, 33.7 % 3PT LeBron James owns Cleveland's top deep-ball total with around 1,251 three-pointers, amassed over 11 seasons and 849 games, while averaging 27.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game. Pure shooting wasn't his M.O., but his production and longevity made him a volume king whose legacy for the Cavaliers extends far beyond the arc. It is very possible and likely that a player of Donovan Mitchell's caliber could one day surpass James, but so far, Cleveland still belongs to The King until further notice when it comes to rings, impact, scoring, or threes made. Dallas Mavericks Dirk Nowitzki - 1,982 3PM, 38.0% 3PT Dirk Nowitzki is Dallas's deep-range pioneer with 1,982 made threes at 38.0%, accumulated over his 21-year Mavericks career. He averaged 20.7 PPG for his career, combining size and perimeter touch in a way nobody else did in franchise history, leading the long-ball revolution for his team. We don't imagine that any player could ever surpass Dirk for the Mavericks, because he meant that much to the franchise for at least two decades. We don't anticipate any player wearing a Mavericks uniform who could surpass the big German. Denver Nuggets Jamal Murray- 1,146 3PM, 38.1% 3PT Jamal Murray is the Denver Nuggets' all-time leader in made three-pointers, with 1,146 career threes, surpassing Michael Porter Jr. and Nikola Jokic to claim the top spot. Over approximately 536 games, Murray has averaged 18.0 PPG, 4.7 assists, and 3.8 rebounds, playing about 31.3 minutes per game while shooting 38.1% from beyond the arc. A four-year, $208 million extension signed in 2024 reflects Denver's belief in his role as a foundational long-range scorer for its championship aspirations, mainly because Murray helped deliver the franchise's only NBA title in the 2023 campaign. Detroit Pistons Joe Dumars - 990 3PM, 38.2% 3PT Joe Dumars stands as the Detroit Pistons' all-time leader in made three-pointers, with 990 career threes in 1,018 games, shooting 38.2% from deep over his storied career. In his era, that level of deep-ball production wasn't common, especially for a guard whose offense was grounded in poise, mid-range consistency, and high-pressure playoff situations. Dumars regularly played 34.5 minutes per game, put up 16.1 points, 4.5 assists, and was a steady, efficient offensive presence during the Pistons' Bad Boys era. His productivity from deep helped the franchise bridge the old school and modern spacing-controlled eras, even before analytics elevated the three-pointer's value. Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry - 4,058 3PM, 42.3 % 3PT Stephen Curry didn't just break franchise records; he shattered NBA history with 4,058 made threes in 16 seasons (1,026 games), averaging 24.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and playing 34.1 MPG. With 42.3% accuracy, his deep shooting transformed the modern game and made Golden State a long-range dynasty. Curry is the first player anyone will ever remember when they think about shooting because nobody did it better than him. The superstar point guard is undeniably the best shooter we have ever seen, and his all-time three-point record for the Warriors will likely stand the test of time. Houston Rockets James Harden -2,029, 36.2 % 3PT James Harden sits atop Houston Rockets franchise history with an astonishing 2,029 career three-pointers, far surpassing the previous mark of Eric Gordon's 1,054, cementing his legacy as Houston's deepest shooter ever. Over 621 games in a Rockets uniform, Harden averaged 37.0 minutes, 29.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and hoisted 9.0 attempts per game, all while maintaining a respectable 36.2% from long range. That is simply proof of elite volume and efficiency. He led the league in three-point attempts three seasons in a row (2018-2020) and is a three-time scoring champion. After Stephen Curry and probably Damian Lillard, James Harden helped revolutionize the game in terms of relying on the three-point shot. Indiana Pacers Reggie Miller - 2,560 3PM, 39.5 % 3PT Reggie Miller not only owns Indiana's record with 2,560 threes at 39.5%, but cemented himself as one of the NBA's all-time clutch shooters. His volume and consistency across two decades defined the Pacers' long-range reputation and playoff success, pure legacy fuel. Miller would have been a force in today's NBA, but he was during his time. Miller averaged 39.5% from deep, ranks 6th all-time in total threes made, and was the face of the Pacers franchise throughout his career. Los Angeles Clippers Paul George - 820 3PM, 39.7% 3PT Paul George holds the Clippers' three-point record with 820 made threes, ahead of Eric Piatkowski, who sits at 738. George's stroke, two-way play, and shot volume over multiple seasons made him the long-range engine of a team often starved for consistency. George's stint with the Clippers might be forgotten due to the lack of postseason success that came as a result of very high expectations, but he was still a capable scorer. He posted 23.0 PPG with the Clippers, and his sharpshooting was without a doubt a key part of his game. Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant - 1,827 3PM, 32.9% 3PT Despite not being known as a three-point sniper, Kobe Bryant topples Lakers history with 1,827 made threes at 32.9%, amassed over 20 seasons. His volume shooting and fearless, deep-ball confidence reflected his killer instinct and elevated the Lakers' long-range totals across eras. Bryant is obviously one of the greatest offensive players of his time, capturing two scoring titles and having 12 seasons of posting at least 24 points per game. Kobe hit the all-time mark for the Lakers when it comes to threes, and we don't imagine anyone will usurp that. Memphis Grizzlies Mike Conley - 1,086 3PM, 37.5% 3PT Mike Conley is the Grizzlies' undisputed long-range king with 1,086 made threes over a 12-season tenure and 788 games in Memphis, surpassing Mike Miller's previous mark of 844 deep balls. Known more for his defense and steadiness, Conley was also a consistent shooting threat, averaging around 1.2 threes per game late in his career while logging around 30 minutes per night, 20.9 PPG, 4.4 APG, and 28.6% effort from deep in his final seasons. His three-point accuracy and smart decision-making complemented Memphis's gritty identity, turning him into the franchise's most dependable perimeter anchor of an era defined by toughness and team culture. Miami Heat Duncan Robinson - 1,202 3PM, 39.7% 3PT Over seven seasons in Miami (423 games), Duncan Robinson emerged as the Miami Heat's premier deep threat, becoming the franchise's all-time leader in made threes with 1,202 triples, surpassing Tyler Herro and Tim Hardaway. Robinson was a model of efficiency, notching 39.7% from deep across roughly 7.2 attempts per game. His precision and volume made him a constant floor spacer and an uninterrupted fixture in Miami's pick-and-roll-heavy system, and he earned a place in two All-Star Weekend three-point contests. Milwaukee Bucks Khris Middleton - 1,382 3PM, 38.9% 3PT Khris Middleton holds the Bucks' franchise record with 1,382 career three-pointers made, surpassing Ray Allen's 1,051 and anchoring his standing as Milwaukee's most prolific deep-ball shooter. Over 735 games, Middleton averaged 17.1 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 4.1 APG, and shot 38.9% from three, blending scoring versatility with efficiency and climbing to over 3,550 career makes at age 33. He quietly delivered from deep throughout Milwaukee's title run and beyond, using consistent accuracy, despite injury setbacks, to claim franchise leader status. Middleton formed a dynamic duo with Giannis Antetokounmpo, and he certainly was able to generate threes because of the big man's presence. Minnesota Timberwolves Anthony Edwards- 1,109 3PM, 36.4% 3PT Anthony Edwards became the Timberwolves' all-time leader in 3-point field goals made when his 976th trey surpassed Karl-Anthony Towns on January 25, 2025, and has since risen to 1,109 career threes at 36.4% from three in his career to date. As a scoring dynamo, he averaged around 27.6 points per game, led the league with 320 made threes in one season, and consistently converted at a high clip in Minnesota's breakout playoff runs. Edwards' ability to mix iso scoring with deep shooting has transformed the T-Wolves' offensive identity from perimeter-challenged to modern spacing reliability. As great as Edwards is from deep, he will be far more dominant if he focuses more on attacking the rim because of his supreme athleticism. New Orleans Pelicans CJ McCollum- 692 3PM, 39.8% 3PT CJ McCollum is the New Orleans Pelicans' all-time leader in career threes with 692 made, overtaking previous franchise marks, achieved over 223 games in New Orleans with an efficient 39.8% clip. He averaged 21.1 points, 5.0 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game, shooting 45.2% from the field and 39.8% from deep, anchoring the team's spacing and veteran leadership. McCollum officially set the Pelicans' record on January 29, 202,5, with a dramatic corner three in crunch time, solidifying his reputation as a reliable scorer in high-leverage moments, no matter what team he plays for. New York Knicks John Starks - 982 3PM, 34.5 % 3PT John Starks leads the Knicks with 982 three-pointers made at 34.5%, delivering volume and grit through his mid-'90s prime. His fearless, catch-and-fire mentality made him a rare deep specialist in a rugged offensive era in New York. Starks was mainly known for his raw scoring and defensive toughness instead of his three-point shot specifically, as the guard posted 14.1 PPG for his career with the Knicks, and he has a little under 500 threes more than the current superstar point guard of the franchise, Jalen Brunson. Oklahoma City Thunder Kevin Durant- 1,143 3PM, 38.0% 3PT Kevin Durant holds the Oklahoma City Thunder franchise record in made three-pointers with 1,143 career treys, ahead of long-time teammate Russell Westbrook's 922, a mark amassed over 641 games, with 37.8 minutes per game, 27.4 PPG, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists, all while shooting a sharp 38.0% from three-point range. He dominated OKC from 2008 to 2016, earning multiple scoring titles, seven All-Star selections, and leading the Thunder to the 2012 NBA Finals. His deep ball volume was a foundational part of one of the most prolific scoring eras in franchise history. Durant's three-point prowess wasn't just about volume; it was a defining weapon in a high-scoring repertoire, one that reshaped Oklahoma City's identity long before the era of maximum modern spacing. Orlando Magic Dennis Scott - 981 3PM, 40.3 % 3PT Dennis Scott holds Orlando's record with 981 made threes at an efficient 40.3%, anchoring the Magic's formative '90s teams with deep-ball credibility. His proportionally high percentage and volume underscored Orlando's early run to national relevance. Scott is one of the most underrated shooters of his generation, considering his elite shooting form that never seemed to waver. Had he played today, Scott would have been a major impact player because of his floor spacing. Philadelphia 76ers Allen Iverson - 885 3PM, 30.9 % 3PT Despite his low efficiency (30.9%), Allen Iverson tops the 76ers' history with 885 made threes, reflecting volume and aggressiveness in his prime. His overall scoring dominance overshadowed accuracy, but it still puts him atop the franchise's deep-ball leaderboard. There isn't anybody on the Sixers not named Tyrese Maxey who could have the green light from deep like Iverson had. The four-time scoring champion and all-time great had his way with the ball, and he managed to climb to second for total points and first for threes made for the Sixers. Phoenix Suns Devin Booker- 1,424 3PM, 35.4% 3PT In Phoenix Suns history, Devin Booker stands alone at the top with 1,424 career three-pointers made, surpassing Steve Nash's previous mark of 1,051, all while playing 10 seasons and 673 games in the orange-and-purple uniform. Over that span, Booker has logged 34.4 minutes per game, averaged 24.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game, and maintained a steady 35.4% clip from downtown, combining volume and consistency like few before him. His deep shooting exploded in 2024-25, during which he averaged 25.6 PPG, 7.1 APG, shot 46.1% from the field, and even hit 33.2% from three, career-high usage with elite efficiency management. Portland Trail Blazers Damian Lillard -2,387 3PM, 37.2 % 3PT Damian Lillard leads Trail Blazers history with over 2,300 threes at 37.2%, delivering shot-making and veteran poise during Portland's stint year after year. His appearance as Blazers' all-time deep snipers underscores his clutch, consistent contributions from outside. Lillard has to be firmly in the conversation for being the greatest player in Blazers history, at least alongside Clyde Drexler. Lillard was also an elite scorer beyond just a shooter, holding an average of 25.2 PPG with 8 seasons of at least 24 PPG scored for the franchise. Sacramento Kings Buddy Hield - 1,248 3PM, 40.2 % 3PT Buddy Hield sank over 1,200 threes at a nearly 40.2% clip during his Kings tenure, a mark that still anchors franchise history. His pure stroke and volume were central to Sacramento's difficult years until the sharpshooter moved on to greener pastures. Amazingly, Hield managed to break Peja Stojakovic's record. One of the best pure shooters in NBA history, Peja was a very capable scorer who probably wished he played in today's era. San Antonio Spurs Manu Ginobili - 1,495 3PM, 36.9 % 3PT Manu Ginobili leads Spurs history with 1,495 threes made at 36.9% across his 16-year Spurs run. His crafty play, clutch shooting, and high basketball IQ made him San Antonio's most prolific perimeter threat and a cornerstone of their dynasty. Ginobili had to accept a sixth man role for the majority of his career in San Antonio, and yet still managed to drain the most threes. In second place comes Patty Mills, who managed 1,171 threes. Toronto Raptors Kyle Lowry - 1,518 3PM, 37.7% 3PT Would anybody think that another player would pop up when discussing the Raptors? Kyle Lowry is Toronto's deep-range king with 1,518 made threes at 37.7%, offering shooting stability and leadership during the Raptors' playoff and championship era. His steady scoring left an outsized mark on a franchise that certainly has its ups and downs throughout the 2010s. Anybody who watched the Raptors knows the importance of Lowry, and his three-point shot was a major addition. Utah Jazz Joe Ingles - 1,071 3PM, 40.8% 3PT Joe Ingles stands atop Utah Jazz history with 1,071 career three-pointers made, surpassing Hall-of-Fame John Stockton's previous franchise record of 845 deep balls. Over 590 regular-season games with Utah, he averaged 25.7 minutes, 8.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game, while shooting a highly efficient 40.8% from beyond the arc, making him not just prolific but elite in accuracy. Ingles played across eight seasons (2014-22) in Salt Lake City, seamlessly blending floor spacing with smart playmaking as both a starter and an impact reserve. Even if you might have expected John Stockton, there is no denying Ingles' impact as a raw shooter. Washington Wizards Bradley Beal - 1,514 3PM, 37.2% 3PT Bradley Beal tops Wizards history with 1,514 three-pointers made, easily outpacing the next player, Gilbert Arenas, at 868. While his exact percentage isn't listed, his volume and scoring consistency over a decade make him Washington's deep-ball cornerstone. It's a shame that Beal can no longer drain threes for the Wizards franchise, but his record will likely stand for a while, and we don't see anybody on the current roster who could make more outside story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 30, 2025, where it first appeared.
