Despite an impressive season in which James put up historic performances, it wasn’t enough for ESPN to include him in its top five. James fell to the sixth spot. A year ago, James was No. 3. It’s not a big drop, however, and it’s worth noting that he fell outside the top five after missing the playoffs. According to ESPN, his team’s lack of success was the reason why they ranked the 18-time All-Star in the sixth spot....

The Red Devils suffered one of their worst ever Premier League defeats at the Brentford Community Stadium. The side, who are only in their second top-flight season, tore them apart in the first half itself. Individual errors and a blatant lack of fight from nearly every player plagued Erik ten Hag’s side throughout the 90 minutes. The Dutchman is currently leading a side clearly devoid of confidence. Martinez in particular had a torrid time as he was dominated by Brentford players throughout the clash....

Suggesting Masi’s removal was unjust, the Dutch champion spoke at the driver’s conference and said: The Dutchman believes the Australian was pressured into taking a call in Abu Dhabi and judged unfairly as a result of it. The scrutiny over his decisions despite being lobbied and pressured while carrying out his duties made his job difficult, according to the Red Bull champion. Stating why he felt Masi’s removal was unfair, Max Verstappen said:...

Viral marketing in the Information Age is a tried and true method of advertising that, when executed successfully, involves fans in the promotion of a particular product or brand in a direct, and usually fun way. Such campaigns for video games often have effective, and interesting results. For instance, in anticipation of the upcoming Halo 5: Guardians release, 343 Industries founded a Tumblr site dedicated to expose Master Chief’s true history....

Microsoft has been positioning itself to have a very strong first party selection of games later this year especially when compared to Sony who recently admitted to having a sparser than normal first party selection due to the Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End delay. With Forza Motorsport 6, a rumored Gears of War Remaster, Rise of the Tomb Raider and one of the most anticipated games of this year, Halo 5: Guardians, on the way this year, things are looking rosy for Xbox fans....

Before the launch of its single-player campaign, 343 Industries’ shooter was already coming out in fragmented portions. Its multiplayer component debuted several weeks ahead of the story, and the developer eventually revealed that the iconic “Forge” mode won’t be coming out until 2022. This piecemeal distribution is not particularly satisfying, especially when you realize that several other expected features are just straight up missing. At the time of writing, you cannot replay missions without creating a brand-new save file and the co-op option is nowhere to be seen (with some outlets reporting that it won’t be out until summer)....

Under the microscope of the big stage at Rod Laver Arena, de Minaur failed to rise to the occasion against the 21-time Grand Slam winner and was quite frank in his post-game press conference. The 23-year-old added that the ‘old cliché’ of performing well but not good enough will be something that he doesn’t want to experience again, hoping to improve on his fourth round exit in future tournaments....

According to the West Caldwell Police Department in New Jersey, officers have responded to “multiple calls” at a home that was previously owned by Alito. “Erroneous information was circulating on the internet that indicated that Justice Alito still resides in West Caldwell, and individuals have been sending harassing packages to the current resident,” the West Caldwell Police Department said in a Facebook post on Sunday. The report by police came just a few days after the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 decision made in Roe v....

The annual training camp reality series has developed a cult following and who better than the Raiders to pick up the baton? Oakland has all the ingredients to be a hit on the screen and on the field—although major improvements are required on the latter after a 4-12 season. In Antonio Brown, the Raiders have added one of the best and most controversial players in the league to their roster this offseason, while head coach Jon Gruden’s ebullient personality looks tailored for a reality show....

Jalen Green is one of the best young high-flyers in today’s league. His dunks and highlights were a reason why there were players eager to watch the Rockets play. Of course, Green isn’t just a dunker, he’s also a capable scorer from all over the floor. His speed and shiftiness have given him a ton of chances to be a threat on the floor. It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Green’s rookie year last season, however....

Brahim was not even a teenager at that point but Malaga had decided they needed to act. The Andalusian club had got ahead of the competition once by snapping him up at seven years of age from local side Tiro Pichon, but by the time he was 10 it was they who were being raided: Brahim had not only been scouted by bigger, richer clubs, he had actually been whisked off to Barcelona and shown around the Camp Nou dressing rooms by Lionel Messi and, in a quirk of fate, Pep Guardiola....

Heading into last season, Westbrook agreed to Frank Vogel’s call to make the biggest adjustment on the team. The nine-time All-Star vowed during last year’s Media Day that he would make an impact off the ball. Not only did this not happen, but he also butted heads with Vogel by disregarding his instructions. Westbrook refused to set screens and was often ineffective on defense. He even blasted LeBron James and Anthony Davis for not allowing him to play his usual style....

Former Gunners defender William Gallas believes it wasn’t a wise decision to spend such a figure on a player who hasn’t proven himself.

The Englishman signed a five-year contract with the club and is expected to remain at the Emirates Stadium until the summer of 2026....

Pep names ’the best coach in the world' With Gabriel Jesus sidelined due to a foot injury, Aguero is set to get his chance at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday. The Argentina international had battled to win a place, leading to speculation over his future in Manchester. Guardiola said it is up to the 28-year-old to deliver and add to his 18 goals in all competitions this season. “With the guys who score goals, it is talent, it is instinct, how they have to move, create spaces,” the Spaniard said....

The Brazil international caused a stir when he told Bild Am Sonntag he was unsettled at the Allianz Arena and had received initial contact from clubs in the Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1 and the Chinese Super League. Douglas Costa considers Bayern exit Ancelotti, however, insists the 26-year-old has not told him he wants to leave and has suggested the comments were more a reflection of the interests of his representatives....

In Miami-Dade circuit court on Thursday, Michael McGowan was sentenced to several weeks of jail time followed by boot camp, after pleading guilty to accidentally shooting Giselle Rengifo.

The Blues boss continues to see his future called into question after failing to piece together a Premier League title defence at Stamford Bridge. A second stint with the Italy national team is being mooted, with the 48-year-old on the Azzurri’s shortlist as they prepare to make a permanent appointment for a vacant post. Zola, though, believes that Conte should be given the chance to at least see out a contract in England that is due to run until 2019, with there few better options available....
