Russell Westbrook is trying to destroy all the negative narratives about him as a member of the Los Angeles Clippers and making an impact in their first-round series. Westbrook was praised for his incredible defensive performance to clinch a Game 1 win on the Suns’ home court. He had multiple blocks that game, including one on Kevin Durant. He repeated that on KD in Game 2 and fans are going crazy. Some fans blamed the Lakers for everything that went wrong with Russ in the last 2 seasons. Westbrook’s success is making fans happy. Some fans maintained that Westbrook is still ‘that dude’.…

The tree is famous for its beautiful white flowers that are reminiscent of birds in flight.

The flowers have a distinctive shape, with nine petals arranged in a…

300,000 years ago in Lower Saxony elephants spread around Schoningen. In recent years there were the remains of at least ten elephants at Palaeolithic sites situated on the edges of the former opencast lignite mine. In cooperation with the National Saxony State Office for Heritage, archeologists at the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment at the University of Tubingen have collected for the first time in Schoningen an almost complete skeleton of the Eurasian straight-tusked elephant (Palaeoloxodon Antiquus). The species has died in what had been the western shore of the lake — what exactly happened and what the…

A ship that sank 2,600 years ago off the coast of Sicily contained a legendary metal that the ancient Greeks said was discovered in the lost city of Atlantis. One of the most puzzling mysteries of human civilisation is the disappearance of the Atlantis city. The interesting city, which was mentioned in numerous of the greatest writings of the Greek philosopher Plato, disappeared into thin air 11,000 years ago. Many believe that the Atlanteans used their formidable spacecraft and ships to migrate to another planet rather than dissolve. On the other hand, others contend that the city’s degree of corruption…

NASA’s retired RHESSI spacecraft, which observed solar flares and coronal mass ejections, is expected to reenter Earth’s atmosphere on April 19. The risk of harm to anyone on Earth is low. RHESSI’s 16-year mission contributed valuable data on solar flare physics and made discoveries about the Sun’s shape and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes. (Illustration of RHESSI satellite.)

Last weekend, stargazers in Alaska were treated to an unusual sight; an eerie, pale blue spiral that appeared in the night sky. It emerged during a display of the Northern Lights, where charged particles from the sun interacted with the Earth’s atmosphere to produce bright bands of green. But despite its UFO or portal-like appearance, the mysterious spiral has a far more mundane explanation. It was simply excess fuel that had been released from a SpaceX rocket that launched from California about three hours before the spiral appeared. Similar phenomena occurred over Hawaii in January, and New Zealand last summer,…

It’s NBA award week, and Kings star De’Aaron Fox has just become the latest player to get recognized for his performance this season.

Michael Jordan is still in the lead as the NBA’s greatest player of all time, and this comes on the back of the players in the league voting for the Chicago Bulls legend. In an anonymous poll by The Athletic’s Sam Amick and Josh Robbins, Jordan received 58.3% of the total votes. Coming in second is Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James with 33.0%, and the late Kobe Bryant in third place with 6.8%. Per the outlet, “M.J., for sure,” an unnamed player said. “Definitely 6-for-6 (in the Finals) is a big thing for me. But the way I look at basketball is (it’s) about the…

Desmond Bane outlined how the Memphis Grizzlies have to play against Anthony Davis when they face off against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of their first-round playoff skirmish. “It’s going to be a challenge the whole series,” Bane said of neutralizing James and Davis by “dictating a faster style of play,” Bane told the official NBA site. “I think ball movement is going to have to be at a premium. We felt like we played well, but we can definitely play a whole lot better. We still had our chances.” The Grizzlies went down 128-112 in the first outing…

The Toronto Raptors won the only championship in their team’s history in 2019 with Kawhi Leonard leading them to the title instead of franchise icon DeMar DeRozan. DeRozan’s Raptors lost to the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers for 4 consecutive seasons but won the title with Kawhi when James moved to the Lakers. Stephen A. Smith believes Toronto would have won the title even if they kept DeMar. “DeMar DeRozan, I believe would have pulled off the same thing Kawhi Leonard did if LeBron wasn’t in the Eastern Conference that year.” The Raptors traded DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl, and a first-round pick…

A tiny bead found in Bulgaria is believed to be the oldest worked piece of gold in the world, an archaeologist says. Researchers discovered the precious bauble in a settlement dating back 6,600 years—the oldest “urban” settlement or town in Europe. The tiny bead is 1/8 inch (4 mm) in diameter. It was probably made in the settlement, which is outside the town of Pazardzhik in southern Bulgaria, Reuters reports . It will be on display in the town museum of Pazardzhik after restorers clean it and experts make a final confirmation on its age. The gold bead weighs just…

The Great Pyramid is the ancient world’s final wonder. However, the issue remains the same: how could the ancient Egyptians move such massive stone blocks? Perhaps the pyramids were not built by Egyptians, but rather by extraterrestrials. Who were the employees? Slaves? Volunteers? And who provided them with food? Who put them together? Who were they employed by? The following documentary illustrates how the Great Pyramid was constructed by ancient people. We continue to think that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built by extraterrestrials for a purpose other than burial. We’ll explain what it’s really for. The film below…
