  • Small things paying big dividends for the Clippers

    Eric Lambkins II, Sports Reporter|Dec 21, 2023

    The little things, they say, make all the difference in winning or losing in sports. Those nitty-gritty details, the stuff that rarely finds its way onto the box score, that's where champions carve their path. And amid this Clippers' whirlwind, that truth stands taller than ever. Since James Harden waltzed into the Clippers' world, it's been a tale of redemption, a saga of triumphs rising from the heap of a 0-6 start. But amid the glitz of Harden's arrival, there's a quieter hero, Paul George, t...

    Mykell Mathieu, Sports Reporter|Dec 21, 2023

    The Lakers' struggles early and poor play from their role players led to a 114-109 defeat by the New York Knicks on a night they unveiled a banner celebrating their unbeaten run through the In-Season Tournament. With Laker fans providing slight cheers, they unveiled the modest black banner next to their 17 championships banners. That's where the celebration stopped as the Knicks attacked early and often to pick up the big road win. The Lakers' superstar duo of Anthony Davis and LeBron James had...

That same unwavering determination shone bright last Sunday, catching the attention of LeBron James and his daughter, Zhuri, who stuck around after watching Bronny James make his collegiate debut after suffering cardiac arrest in the summer. Watkins, the freshman phenom and the second-leading scorer in the nation, scored her season average 27 points in 28 minutes and...
