So Porzingis, like many budding stars in Europe, had to pack up and leave home in order to sign a deal in Seville, Spain. His brother, Martins, went with him for the first two weeks of his time in Spain, but after that, Porzingis was on his own. “It was tough for me, it was tough for my mother, I was very young,” Porzingis recalled back before he was drafted by the Knicks last June....

The non-exclusive tag will pay Cousins $19.95 million, the highest base salary of any quarterback in the NFL next season. Once he signs, all other teams will lose the right to give Washington two first-round picks to sign the 27-year-old quarterback.

He is a cricketer that everybody has a lot of negatives to say....

Game of Thrones ended its eight year run with Jon Snow killing Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) following the destruction of King’s Landing. Daenerys had evidently fallen off the deep end into tyranny, and had destroyed the capital city of Westeros in her rage. Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) subtly advised Jon to kill his Queen, and Jon did so. He was then exiled from the Seven Kingdoms and went to live with the wildlings north of the (now destroyed) Wall....

Although their openers got off to the best possible start, the Mumbai Indians were unable to capitalise and ended up being restricted to a still-competitive 162. The bowlers, in response, started off by dismissing both the Mumbai openers in the first two overs. Again, it was not to be though. Ambati Rayudu and Faf du Plessis would go on to stabilise the innings, and the Super Kings would chase down the target with nearly an over to spare....

Since the last Klonoa remaster that made its way onto the Wii, many fans of the cute lop-eared mascot have wanted to see more of him. While the series was given a webcomic in 2019, the series quickly went silent again once the publishing website shut down. There have been a few Klonoa trademark registrations by Bandai Namco since that gave hope for a more recent remaster, but nothing had ever surfaced from them....

LEAKED: Di Maria’s strange contract The Brazil international left Hoffenheim for Anfield in a £29 million deal in June 2015, shortly before Klopp succeeded Brendan Rodgers in the dugout. Firmino has become a key figure under the German, who admits his surprise that the Reds were able to sign up the versatile attacking midfielder for a relative steal before bigger sides made their moves. “The first thing I did when I left Dortmund [was] I took my phone and deleted all the numbers so I was not reachable,” Klopp told the press, “so I didn’t speak to anyone to offer advice, about Firmino or anyone else....

The Egypt international has enjoyed a spectacular first term at Anfield, scoring 39 goals in all competitions, and his form has led to speculation of interest from Real Madrid. Klopp told Bild this week that he had no fears over the possibility of losing Salah and he has again stressed the forward is committed to the club. “It’s not a situation I’d even think about,” said the German. “Mo Salah came in not a full year ago, to make the next step in his career, and he did it....

When Jurgen Klopp chooses his Liverpool XIs, he possibly follows a similar approach: “Philippe Coutinho.” “Mo Salah.” “Roberto Firmino.” All the way down until he gets to the ninth player in his team: “Jordan Henderson.” Henderson is like the kid who was picked just above the dregs at the end because he was the kind of player who would work hard, but never be a matchwinner by himself, nor would he be culpable if the team lost....

Goals from Sadio Mane, Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi beat Everton 3-1 at Anfield on Saturday, cementing the Reds’ position in the Premier League top four. A first Anfield derby since the stadium’s renovation had a raucous soundtrack, but Klopp responded to a late chanting of his name by pointing to his watch. Asked about a crackling derby atmosphere, Klopp instead opted to point out his concerns about complacency....

Of course, development is no easy task, and if the reports are true, fans will hopefully see the results of their patience one day. However, the complexity of a Knights of the Old Republic remake is further complicated by the sheer variety of business and political dealings surrounding the game. No matter how one looks at it, though, the earliest fans should expect an announcement is next year. RELATED: EA Won’t Announce Any New Star Wars Games Until 2022...
