Giannis Antetokounmpo, the star player of the Milwaukee Bucks, has improved his skills every year since he was drafted by the Bucks in the 2013 NBA draft. His best stats came in the 2022-23 season, where he averaged 31.1 points, 5.7 assists, and 11.8 rebounds per game. During the most recent NBA season, the 29-year-old delivered several dominating performances that propelled his team to the NBA playoffs. However, the team was eliminated by the Indiana Pacers in the first round.

During the offseason, Antetokounmpo, who recently praised Victor Wembanyama, aimed to make some significant investments. According to the latest update from Break Comp Cards, the Bucks forward is reportedly willing to pay $1M for a rare Team USA card autographed by LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Kevin Durant.

Antetokounmpo is seeking a 1/1 autographed card featuring the legends released by Topps Now. He stated he would accept an offer double the current highest bid, which stands at $500,000.

James, Curry, and Durant captivated basketball fans with their exceptional skills at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Their extraordinary efforts led Team USA to secure their 5th straight gold medal. Unfortunately, this marked the final time these three legends played together. As a result, a card signed by James, Curry, and Durant will likely hold significant value in the future. Moreover, this card will commemorate the first time these legends featured together, which will significantly impact its price.

Denver Nuggets Star Raves About Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Incredible Skills

Antetokounmpo is widely regarded as one of the greatest power forwards of all time and has been a dominant force behind the Bucks’ success in recent years. The 29-year-old star player led his team to clinch the NBA championship in 2021 and was also honored with the NBA Finals MVP in the same year. Due to his remarkable skills, Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr. praised him in a recent appearance on The Ringer’s Off Guard Podcast.

“It’s better now. If you take some of these players and put them then… Like, if you put Giannis [Antetokounmpo] in that era, he would’ve been the best player to ever touch a basketball.” Porter Jr. said.

Antetokounmpo has achieved incredible things in his 11 seasons with the Bucks. He has won two NBA MVP titles, been selected to the NBA All-Star team eight times, and won the 2020 NBA Defensive Player of the Year award. In two months, the talented Bucks player will start his 12th NBA season. It will be interesting to see how he continues to contribute to the team’s success.

WNBA rookie Angel Reese checked in for work as if she was still attending school on Tuesday night, yet the Chicago Sky put her front and center.

The former LSU star has been killing it with her outfits all season, and Tuesday was no different as she prepared to suit up against the Las Vegas Aces.

Reese pulled up to the game in a miniskirt that will be hard to forget once you see it, putting her teammates in the shade as the Sky posted a few of their pregame fits to Instagram under the caption, “Checking in for work.”

You can check them out right below:

As mentioned above, Angel has been slaying it from the moment she entered the WNBA, but she may have done her best work on Tuesday night.

Angel Reese Setting It Off On The Hardwood As Well

The rookie isn’t only doing it off the court, however. Reese has already set the WNBA for rebounds in a single season, as well as for the most offensive rebounds in one season.

“It’s a mindset. She wants it,” Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon was quoted as saying this past weekend. “She’s not going to allow a box-out to keep her from getting an offensive rebound. She’s very physical down there.

“It’s a desire. She goes hard after it. She takes it very personally. She’s very serious about her work of getting rebounds. She knows that’s the thing she brings to this team to help us be successful, and she’s mastering that role.”

Despite Reese’s personal achievements, the Sky are in danger of missing out on playoff basketball at 11-22, having gone on an awful run since the league resumed on the back of the Olympic break.

They are still holding on to that eighth spot in the Eastern Conference, but it’s going to be hard to hold on to with their current form.

Despite his shocking upset at the 2024 US Open, Novak Djokovic still has the ability to win a few more Grand Slam titles, according to former World No.1 Mats Wilander.

Djokovic’s last Major triumph came at the 2023 US Open, where he defeated Daniil Medvedev to win his 24th Grand Slam title. After falling in the 2024 Wimbledon final to Carlos Alcaraz, the Serbian was backed to successfully defend his title at Flushing Meadows this year. However, he fell in a shocking third round loss to Australian Alexei Popyrin, ending his bid for another Grand Slam title this season.

Wilander believes Djokovic will win more titles before he retires

“So far I don’t see him getting old, I don’t think this is the year where we thought ‘Ah, he’s 37.’ Physically I don’t notice anything getting older, mentally – he seems to be getting smarter,” said Wilander in an interview with Sport Klub. “I can’t believe he’s still playing at this rate, but I can believe he’ll keep it up. I think he will win some more Slams, that he will finish at 26. His game is there.

“If he won two more matches here, he would suddenly be the best in the world again, there are not many who can beat him. It’s a surprise that he lost, but Popyrin did what not many could do – he served in the corners, sometimes he hit the ball with all his strength, played with variation on the backhand.”

Furthermore, Wilander picked Italian Jannik Sinner as the favorite to lift the title in New York following the elimination of Djokovic and former champion Carlos Alcaraz.
“Sinner is the first favourite, but there are so many good players,” added the seven-time Grand Slam champion. “[Daniil] Medvedev can win, in his own way, and it’s good for Sinner that he didn’t have a tough opponent immediately after the elimination of Alcaraz and Djokovic, so that it settles down for him.”

September is certainly a monumental month for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

The singer and the NFL star, both 34, have had milestone career moments take place during the month – like the launch of Travis’ podcast and the release of Taylor’s beloved single Love Story all those years ago.

It’s also the month that the pair confirmed their highly-publicized romance with the world – when the Cruel Summer songstress attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game on September 24, 2023.

But now, it may also become the month that their relationship comes to an end, as an alleged ‘contract’ recently spread around the web that claimed Taylor and Travis were going to announce a split on September 28, 2024.

The document outlined a detailed plan to release an official statement regarding their breakup at the end of the month, and was written by what appeared to be the athlete’s PR company.

 

An alleged ‘contract’ recently spread around the web that claimed Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were going to announce a split on September 28, 2024. They’re seen in February

Travis’ team has since branded the contract – which was first posted on Reddit – as ‘entirely false and fabricated,’ and claimed that they had brought in lawyers to try to find whoever created the ‘unlawful and injurious forgery of documents.’

But if the couple did end their relationship on the 28th, it wouldn’t be the first major event that happened to them during the month of September.

While the exact date that they got together is unknown, rumors of their romance first emerged on September 12, 2023, when The Messenger reported that they were ‘quietly hanging out.’

Nearly two weeks later, on September 24, 2023, the popstar was spotted cheering on the Chiefs tight end from the VIP suite at Arrowhead Stadium alongside his mom, Donna, confirming that they were indeed an item.

After that, they became inseparable; she was photographed at many more of his games, they were caught holding hands on numerous date nights, and he jetted off to see her perform on more than one occasion once her tour resumed soon after.

Furthermore Taylor dropped her now-mega hits Our Song and Love Story in September 2008 and September 2009 respectively, while Travis launched his extremely popular New Heights podcast with his brother, Jason, in September 2022.

It’s also rumored that the singer’s relationship with ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn began on September 28, 2016.

While speculation that she and the British actor were dating didn’t emerge until months later – in June 2017 when they were photographed together for the first time – many of her fans believe their romance kicked off on September 28 after she changed the lyrics to a song she covered to include the date.

It’s also rumored that the singer’s relationship with Joe Alwyn began on September 28, 2016. They’re seen together in 2019

 

Many of her fans believe their romance kicked off on September 28 after she changed the lyrics to a song she covered to include the date. She’s seen on September 28, 2016

In 2018, Taylor released a rendition of the Earth, Wind & Fire song September and switched the line ‘Do you remember the 21st night of September?’ to ‘Do you remember the 28th night of September?’

At the time, many social media users assumed that must be the day she and Joe got together.

While she’s certainly had a lot of happy times in September, Taylor’s also endured some heartbreak during the month.

Back in September 2009, the hitmaker received her first ever VMA for her song You Belong With Me.

But as she took to the stage to accept the award, rapper Kanye West interrupted her speech, grabbed the microphone from her, and told the audience that he believed Beyoncé deserved it more.

The now infamous moment sparked a years-long feud between Taylor and Kanye that would later see his now-ex-wife Kim Kardashian get involved and launch her own blistering attack against Taylor.

The incident and its ripple affects had a long-lasting impact on Taylor, as she later said that the aftermath of her fight with Kim ‘took her down psychologically to a place she had never been before.’

Reports emerged this week about the alleged leaked document, which was written on the headed paper of Los Angeles-based firm Full Scope, and proposes that Taylor and Travis release a statement on September 28 confirming their split.

It adds that the announcement should be ‘gracious, respectful and stress mutual respect’ and would focus on Travis’ ‘personal growth.’

 

September is also the month that the now infamous incident between her and Kanye West at the VMAs took place

The alleged document outlined a detailed plan to release an official statement regarding Travis and Taylor’s breakup at the end of the month

 

Travis’ team has since branded the contract – which was first posted on Reddit – as ‘entirely false and fabricated’

After it spread online, a spokesman for Full Scope insisted that it was ‘entirely false and fabricated and were not created, issued or authorized by this agency.’

The representative also said they have called in lawyers – though they are not expected to find the culprit.

‘We have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents,’ they said.

Travis is set to have a busy September as football season officially kicks back off on Thursday.

He has home games on September 5 and 15 followed by one on September 22 in Atlanta and one on September 29 in Los Angeles.

As for Taylor, she has a rare break in her schedule after wrapping up the European leg of her Eras Tour on August 20.

She’s set to resume the tour in Miami, Florida, on October 18, but until then, she doesn’t have any official plans.

It’s rumored that she will attended the MTV VMAs on September 11 in New York City, as she’s nominated for 12 different awards.

Many of her fans have speculated that she’s going to make a surprise announcement at the event for the re-recording of her album Reputation, but as of now, that’s just a rumor.

A source told DailyMail.com following the alleged contract that Taylor and Travis are unfazed, and are in fact are planning something ‘super special’ on the date it listed as their ‘split.’

‘Taylor was unbothered and quite amused by this,’ the insider. ‘She usually pays these things no mind at all, but this was some hilarious AI realness.

‘It isn’t even worth an actual reaction from her or her team. She and Travis had a good laugh over it and his camp only got lawyers involved because it is his PR firm listed on the document.

‘After learning that their “breakup date” is coming up so soon – September 28 – they now need to plan something super special and fun on that day to commemorate.

‘Coincidentally, September 28 is around the first NFL game of the season and is also National Beer Drinking Day – so that makes a good date night for sure.’

Jon Bon Jovi is one proud father-in-law.

The rock legend, 62, opened up about his son Jake Bongiovi‘s recent wedding to Millie Bobby Brown, revealing happy details about the newlyweds.

“They’re great, they’re absolutely fantastic, it was a very small family wedding and the bride looked gorgeous and Jake is happy as can be,” Jon said on BBC’s The One Show on Tuesday, May 28.

News of the wedding was confirmed on Friday, May 24, after People reported that the pair had exchanged vows less than a week prior.

Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi’s Relationship Timeline

A separate report from The Sun at the time further revealed that Bongiovi, 22, and Brown, 20, “quietly” tied the knot during a “very low-key, romantic affair” and are planning “a bigger ceremony” later this year.

The lovebirds were spotted relaxing in the Hamptons on Friday, in photos obtained by Page Six. In the snaps, the couple wore matching silver wedding bands on their left hands as they drove around in a blue convertible.

Jon’s commentary on the wedding isn’t the first time he’s shared his feelings about Brown. In an April interview with The Times of London, Jon expressed how excited he was for the Stranger Things star to be joining the family.

“I’ve gotten to know her in the last year, she works really hard, and she and Jake will grow together in their own way,” he said. “It is an accelerated version of what I went through 40 years ago and I think, with the support of family around them, they’re gonna be great together.”

Brown is now the second daughter-in-law to join Jon’s family this month. His son Jesse Bongiovi reportedly married longtime girlfriend Jesse Light in Las Vegas on Wednesday, May 8.

Brown and Bongiovi, who is the son of Jon and his wife, Dorothea Hurley, were first linked in the summer of 2021. The couple met via Instagram and were friends before they pursued a romance.

Brown announced her engagement to Bongiovi in April 2023 by quoting lyrics from Taylor Swift‘s 2019 song “Lover” via Instagram. “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ‘em all,” Brown captioned the post while sharing a shot of her diamond ring. The dazzling rock had previously belonged to her mother.

Four months later, Brown divulged how she knew Bongiovi was The One. “I was interested in him and wanted to know more,” she told The Sunday Times in August 2023 of their first conversation via Instagram. “As soon as we spoke, I knew he was going to be a huge part of my life. After we met we knew we never wanted to leave each other’s side.”

Jon Bon Jovi ‘hasn’t been a saint’

Jon Bon Jovi hasn’t “been a saint” in his marriage.

The 62-year-old rocker will celebrate his 35th anniversary with wife Dorothea in a few weeks but the ‘Always’ singer suggested he hasn’t always been faithful within their relationship, admitting their long union has required tolerance from her.

He told Independent.co.uk: “These are all the wonderful clichés of rock stardom.

“It’s about never lying about having been a saint, but not being a fool enough to [mess] up the home life, either.”

Jon – who is currently recovering from vocal cord surgery – has never been interested in taking drugs after a bad experience in his youth.

He explained: “It was smoking something that was laced with something else, and I remember feeling out-of-body high and thinking, ‘I don’t like this. I don’t feel comfortable with this.
“It was scary, and I was so young that I was glad I had that sort of ‘scared straight’ moment.”

“Millie is a movie star. We just went to the premiere of ‘Damsel’ with her, and Jake’s got his first movie out right now. I’m happy for him.”

The ‘Blaze of Glory’ singer – who also has Stephanie, Jesse, 29, and 20-year-old Romeo with Dorothea – hopes Jake and Millie have a long and happy marriage,.

He said: “They are two young people that are pursuing a dream together, so we’re supportive of it, because our hope for them – and Millie’s parents’ hope for them, because Bob and Kelly Brown, too, met when they were very young – is that the kids will grow together.

“Anything after that is out of all four of us as parents’ control, but they’re good kids. They’ll figure it out.”

Though the ‘Enola Holmes’ star is said to have given Jon the night off from singing at the wedding, he admitted he isn’t ruling it out.
He said: “You know, I doubt her word on that very much!

“We’ll see! It depends how much wine I have before we get to the moment where she sticks the mic in my face!”
