Stephen Curry acknowledged Avengers nickname given to squad in his Instagram post
The highlight of Stephen Curry's Instagram post was him referring to the winning squad as 'Avengers.' This name, based on Hollywood's blockbuster franchise, was given by the media outlets. The presence of all elite players in the team was the reason behind this nomenclature.
The 2024 Olympics were held in Paris. It is being considered Stephen Curry's and LeBron James' possibly last outing together as the duo is nearing their retirement.
The use of #nuitnuit also fueled the speculations that Stephen Curry is probably using the throwback post as a sign-off from the international stage, like the Olympics.
Team USA shone brilliantly in the Olympics with a 98-87 win in the finals over France, the host country. They also fought hard against Serbia, led by Nikola Jokic, to grab the spot in the finals. Curry is quite right in calling those moments 'memories for a lifetime', as such events are milestones every player yearns to achieve.

The Spanish Football Federation on Monday (August 11) confirmed the appointment of Sonia Bermudez as the new head coach of Spain's women's football team. The former Barcelona player succeeds Montse Tome, who was out of contract after Spain's defeat to England on penalties in the Women's Euro 2025 final last month. Bermudez moves up to the top job after looking after the Spanish Under-23s. Tomé took over the role after Spain's Women's World Cup-winning coach Jorge Vilda was sacked in September 2023 for his support of Luis Rubiales over the ex-federation president's forced kiss on player Jenni Hermoso. Under Tome, the world champions won last year's Nations League before finishing fourth at the Paris Olympics.

Tyrese Haliburton asked WWE executive for a favor that included John Cena at SummerSlam 2025
via WWE: Tyrese Haliburton and John Cena Nearly two months after the thrilling Game 7 of the NBA Finals, the disappointment still lingers for the Indiana Pacers. More so for their guard Tyrese Haliburton, who even suffered an injury from those finals. The 25-year-old started strong, sinking three early three-pointers and fueling hopes of the Pacers' first NBA championship. However, an Achilles injury crushed his dream. One might say the moment was winning the NBA title, but also a later opportunity to 'walk down' the ramp at SummerSlam with John Cena ! Tyrese Haliburton pitched Triple H his walk-out spot with John Cena Haliburton revealed on the Self Made podcast an untold story about his conversation with WWE 's CCO, Paul 'Triple H' Levesque. He pitched an ambitious idea: if the Pacers won the championship and John Cena remained a heel, Haliburton wanted to walk Cena out at SummerSlam. In front of thousands of fans, Cena with his WWE and Haliburton with his NBA title would have been iconic. Even though the vision was great, the leadup to it fell short and did not see either of those stars leave the MetLife Stadium with the gold. Self Made Sessions #1: Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers HHH was open to the idea, responding with a tentative 'we'll talk about it.' However, Haliburton's injury derailed the plan. Despite this, Levesque stayed in touch, checking on Haliburton during his recovery, which led to a new plan for SummerSlam. At the event, Haliburton, on crutches, aided Cena , earning boos from the hostile New York crowd, a moment they leaned into for the storyline. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Quatre Bornes: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo Still, Haliburton remains haunted by the 'what-if' of his injury. Tyrese Haliburton's dream would have been hindered one way or the other The fact that Tyrese wanted to wanted to walk out with John was due to his heel run. The Indiana Pacers' guard would've been the villain for New Jersey crowd, who had broken the New York Knicks in the ECF. Same situation would be for Cena, who was on his villainous side since the last four months. However, that shtick fell off and the Greatest of All Time was back to being a babyface. So anyways the reaction for Cena would have not been what Haliburton expected going into it. FULL SEGMENT: The real John Cena returned in face-off with Cody Rhodes: SmackDown, Aug. 1, 2025 However if Tyrese was healthy and flexed in front of the New Jersey crowd, the stadium would be split on cheering John and booing the Pacer . It seems like a silver lining that WWE things pivoted before SummerSlam and saw the 17th time World Champion embrace his real persona. While Haliburton sat in the crowd, who did not accompany him but cheered and helped him out. Also read: Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

'Shubman Gill captaining in Duleep Trophy is a massive ... ': Sunil Gavaskar
Sunil Gavaskar and Shubman Gill (Getty Images/AP Photo) Following India's impressive Test series against England, Shubman Gill has opted to captain North Zone in the forthcoming Duleep Trophy, commencing August 28 in Bengaluru, rather than taking a rest period. The 25-year-old will lead a 15-member squad featuring pacers Anshul Kamboj, Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Cricket icon Sunil Gavaskar has praised this decision, particularly noteworthy given Gill's recent performance of 754 runs at 75.4, including four centuries in his maiden series as Test captain. This marks Gill's inaugural captaincy of North Zone in this prestigious competition, which returns to its traditional format. Writing for Sportstar, Gavaskar commended the BCCI 's commitment to domestic cricket, choosing it over an international white-ball series. "It was good, therefore, to see that after the tour to Bangladesh was postponed to next year, the BCCI resisted the pressure to send a team for a white-ball series to Sri Lanka this month," wrote Gavaskar. "By doing that, the BCCI have prioritised domestic cricket, as it means that now most, if not all, of the top players will be available to play in the Duleep Trophy tournament starting shortly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This new air conditioner cools down a room in just seconds News of the Discovery Undo Shubman Gill, captaining the North Zone team is a massive shot in the arm for this tournament." Gavaskar further noted the exemplary nature of Gill's commitment, stating, "By being available for the tournament, the Indian skipper is sending the right signal to the other members of the team. It would have been understandable if, after a gruelling tour where five Test matches were crammed in a little over six weeks, he had opted to rest." Regarding the fast bowlers' absence, Gavaskar supported the decision: "The fast bowlers not playing is good thinking, as it has been an unusually hot summer in England, thanks to global warming, and their energies must have been expended after the untiring spells they bowled throughout the series." With the Asia Cup beginning September 9 concurrent with the Duleep Trophy, the North Zone squad might face alterations if players receive national call-ups. Currently, Gill's participation significantly enhances the tournament's prestige. Despite his previous experience leading in 10 First Class matches, this responsibility presents a unique challenge in managing a zonal team in knockout competition.
