In the 141 years of the franchise, there have been just 18 no-hitters. Between Carl Hubbell in 1929 and […]

The fabric was so soft and official. The polyamide-spandex blend hugged, yet still breathed. The speedsuit’s pink piping and yellow Adidas logo practically glowed against the kit’s deep purple, a color Adidas dubs “preloved fig.” McKenzie Long put it on and modeled in the nearest mirror, seeing how it complimented her skin tone, her muscles, […]

The Los Angeles Lakers unveiled a second statue of Kobe Bryant, the latest one also memorializing his daughter Gianna.
