The 6-foot-8 do-it-all forward from Gary, Indiana, shook the internet late Thursday night after posting a video on Instagram, draped in a vintage Reggie Miller jersey, where he said: “I was born in Indiana. I was raised watching Pacers ball. I’m not here to chase brands or coastlines. I want to bring a ring to…

Texas A&M went 8-5 in its first season under new head coach Mike Elko in 2024, a year that started with promise but ended in disappointment. The Aggies dropped their opener to Notre Dame but rebounded impressively, ripping off seven straight wins and climbing into the SEC West conversation. Unfortunately, a late-season collapse — losing four of their final five games — left Aggie fans frustrated, especially as they watched archrival Texas make its second straight College Football Playoff semifinal and even SMU grab a first-round CFP berth. In 2025, the Aggies hope to close that gap, and ESPN believes…

The former NBA All-Star and one of the Pacers’ most decorated big men reportedly paid $9.2 million to fully pay off the mortgage and back taxes on his childhood coach’s home in Columbia, South Carolina — after learning the man who helped raise him was days away from foreclosure. The gesture came to light after court documents were filed transferring the deed to the coach’s name debt-free, with O’Neal listed as the benefactor. When…
In an era where multi-million-dollar endorsement deals seem like every athlete’s dream, former Lady Vols softball icon Monica Abbott just showed the world what really matters to her — and it’s not about the money.
