Rudy Gobert dunked over Isaiah Hartenstein during playoff game
In Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oklahoma City Thunder gave each other a tough fight. During the game, Rudy Gobert dunked over the Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein. The brief moment became the highlight of the game and drew various comments and reactions from analysts like Doris Burke and several fans.
The game went in the Thunder's favor, who advanced to the NBA finals with a 128-126 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Unlike in Game 3, Robert could not contribute much to the team's performance and had an underwhelming show in Game 4. He recorded only two defensive rebounds. Though his performance couldn't make headlines, his dunk moment did.

Social Media agrees with LeBron James as he raises concern about kids burning out from early specialization: 'Too many parents are seeing dollar signs'
Image credit: Getty Images LeBron James woke up many aspiring athletes and their parents as he talked about the dangerous trend of taking up a single sport during childhood. The Los Angeles Lakers star addressed the issue during his appearance on Mind The Game podcast, along with teammate Luka Doncic. James gave his own example from his childhood and explained how his upbringing was different from that of kids today. LeBron James on kids playing a single sport Talking about the current generation and how they pursue sports from a young age, LeBron James told Steve Nash on Mind The Game podcast, 'Me and my guys, we ran track and field as well, when we were like super-duper young,' said James. 'We played football all the way through high school. We didn't just cap it at one thing and just [do] one thing all year round. I think a lot of kids, they burn the hell out,' he added. Social media reacts to LeBron James' statement James' concern was echoed loud and clear as his comment made its way to Reddit . Several users weighed in, expressing how it is indeed a serious issue among young athletes. A Reddit user reacted to James' comment, 'And it's not just kids getting burnt out, but kids aren't getting proper cross-training from playing multiple sports year round, and are only training/wearing down the muscles and ligaments used for basketball.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Another said, 'Too many parents are seeing dollar signs and push their kids to concentrate on a sport in hopes of the kid going pro and making millions and end up getting their kid hurt. ' A Reddit user also wrote, 'They've looked at who becomes champion in individual sports (like track) and found those who specialize early are not more likely to become champs than those who do various things.' Another comment read: 'Was hoping someone would bring this up about stressing the same muscles and wearing down for injury.' Giving an example, a Reddit user said, 'At this rate football is the only major sport that isn't like this and that's only because getting hit year-round would probably kill some kids and cause brain damage to the rest.'

His eldest son, Bronny James, joined him on the court as part of the Los Angeles Lakers and fulfilled his father's dream. His younger son, Bryce James, recently had his convocation ceremony. He also plays basketball and is now committed to the University of Arizona. James' daughter, Zhuri Nova, is just ten and plays volleyball at present.

With June 1 here, Bill Belichick's future takes a twist as buyout plummets to $1 million
Bill Belichick's dramatically reduced buyout sparks buzz about his next NFL move post-Patriots (Getty Images) Bill Belichick's unconventional offseason with the North Carolina Tar Heels just reached a critical turning point — and it has little to do with Xs and Os. June 1, 2025, is here, and with it comes a significant shift in the power dynamics between Belichick and UNC. The $10 million buyout in his contract has now shrunk to just $1 million, giving the legendary coach newfound leverage to walk away — no strings attached. Bill Belichick's buyout drops to $1M as June 1 arrives — is a surprise NFL return looming? This change, though buried in contractual fine print, was always the red flag skeptics pointed to when questioning Bill Belichick's true commitment to Chapel Hill. While many downplayed the importance of this clause, its presence said more than any press conference ever could. If Belichick had truly envisioned himself building a long-term program in North Carolina, he could have simply asked the school to remove the clause. He didn't. Now, with the reduced buyout officially in play, the dance between the Hall of Fame coach and his new college home just got a lot more complicated — and perhaps a little bit colder. What makes this entire situation even more volatile is the presence of 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, Belichick's girlfriend and, as some have put it, his de facto brand manager. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Their relationship has become tabloid fodder and locker-room curiosity all rolled into one — not least because of the visible influence she seems to wield over the stoic, famously private coach. Channing Crowder didn't mince words when describing the couple: 'She kind of coordinates and brand manages. She has her paws on the situation. It's different . . . It was weird to be around Belichick and Jordon. . . . I don't see Belichick in that light. But he just smiles and nods. . . . His old lady is different. . . . She lurks. It's weird to know him as Coach Belichick running the entire organization as G.M., head coach, talent coordinator, all that stuff, and then to see this tiny, little 95-pound girl kind of — pretty much telling him what to do. ' That last line hit a nerve. Hard. The fallout was swift — an awkward apology from Ryan Clark and an edited version of the show where Crowder's take was originally aired. But no amount of backpedaling could erase what was said. If anything, it confirmed the underlying tension many suspected: Hudson isn't just Belichick's partner — she's part of the inner circle. Reports that Hudson was banned from UNC's football facilities only poured fuel on the fire, even if the university denied such claims. Hudson herself clapped back at journalist Pablo Torre in a now-deleted social media post, suggesting the friction is real — and very personal. Belichick, who is no stranger to walking away before the first snap — just ask the New York Jets — now holds the cards. If he senses resistance, if Hudson feels slighted, or if the NFL suddenly calls with an irresistible offer, he can write a check and vanish. A $1 million exit fee is pocket change for a man who would be walking away from a $25 million deal. And let's not forget: Belichick didn't sign on at UNC during a hot hiring cycle. His phone wasn't exactly ringing off the hook with NFL offers. But now, if circumstances change — or if Hudson decides it's time — he has the power to act. Whether or not Belichick ever coaches a game in Tar Heel blue is no longer just a football question. It's a story about control, influence, and legacy — and how quickly all of that can pivot when the right clause finally kicks in.

He will also be playing for his home team to make good use of the offseason.
