Now in charge: former Lakers star Magic Johnson, who will replace Buss. Johnson could recruit Bryant, too, for some role in the team’s front office, and the Vertical reported that Bryant’s agent, Rob Pelinka, is a possible candidate to take Kupchak’s job....

Since his arrival to Barcelona, Suarez has scored 125 goals in 151 appearances for the club. The Uruguayan striker was the greatest asset for the Catalans at one point of time. But due to his advancing age, his goals have reduced, and his overall performances have declined. Surez’s statistics for the club are on the downward trend, as is his shot conversion ratio. In the long run, Barcelona would need a replacement for the striker position if they want to keep winning titles and maintain their standing in club football....

The 28-year-old has enjoyed a strong season to the season for the Reds, scoring three times, to help Jurgen Klopp’s side to top spot in the Premier League.

Abraham will be given “every possible chance” to make his return from a hip injury when Aston Villa visit Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. The 22-year-old excelled on loan with Villa in the Championship last season, scoring 26 goals in a campaign that concluded with play-off final victory over Derby County, who were of course led by Lampard. Now back at Chelsea playing for his club’s all-time record goalscorer, Abraham is enjoying the fruits of his development under Villa boss Dean Smith and his assistant – long-serving Blues captain Terry....

Cooper was illustrating a distinctly American trait, future-mindedness: the ability to see the present from the vantage point of the future; the freedom to feel unencumbered by the past and more emotionally attached to things to come. This mental framework explains why, even in troubled times, so much of the rest of the world looks to the United States for ideas and visions about the future. “America is therefore the land of the future,” the German philosopher Hegel wrote....

With this, they ensured that the comfortable 2 point gap between them and Barcelona (with a game in hand) retained its status quo. They are still firmly in the driver seat when it comes to the La liga title race, while their opponents of the day remain in the drivers seat when it comes to the relegation battle, thanks to favourable results elsewhere....
