The 22-year-old had a money cake made in his honor by local Cleveland bakery Colossal Cupcakes.

In case you didn’t know… Gasol is the team leader in points (19.1 PPG), assists (4.1 APG), and rebounds (9.1 RPG). With the absence of guard Mike Conley, Gasol has picked up his duties of dishing out the ball to his teammates very well. The heart of the matter… The Associated Press reported on the eighth straight loss for Memphis; which led to the firing of coach David Fizdale on Monday afternoon....

Not only will 2021 see the end of Nintendo’s Super Mario anniversary celebration, but it will also mark the end of Nintendo’s support for various Super Mario-themed products. Super Mario games and online services will be discontinued just a few months into the new year, and so it’s set to be a rather depressing time to be a Mario fan. RELATED: Here’s why March 2021, particularly March 31, 2021, will be a tough time for Super Mario fans....

While brothers playing on the same team is already a pretty rare occurrence, turning that innate chemistry into postseason triumph is even rarer. The 2019 tournament has a few brother duos as well, including Kansas’ Dedric and K.J. Lawson, Nevada’s Caleb and Cody Martin, Marquette’s Sam and Joey Hauser and Vermont’s trio of Ernie, Everett and Robin Duncan. Maybe they’ll find themselves on this list some day.

Then the Round of 32 came and set off the real March Madness, making college basketball junkies beg for more. MORE: Betting odds for all Sweet 16 games With No. 1-overall seed Villanova (+750 odds), No. 2 seeds Duke (+600) and Louisville (+1600) becoming victims of upsets, Kansas and North Carolina are now the best bets to survive March Madness and win the 2017 NCAA Tournament. Here are the latest odds for all Sweet 16 teams to win the national championship....

The most scrambled college basketball season since 2014, and thus the most scrambled NCAA Tournament, produced a Sweet 16 without Baylor, Kentucky, Auburn, Wisconsin, Tennessee and Illinois. Does the elimination of that many high-level teams mean the Sweet 16 will be a dud? Are you kidding? Did you see the sort of second-round classics we enjoyed? Gonzaga over Memphis, Duke over Michigan State, Arizona over TCU in overtime. These were exactly what everyone hopes for from the NCAA Tournament, what everyone honestly expects by now....

The midfielder had been without a club since Zenit agreed to terminate his contract on July 1 after only one season in Russia. Writing on Instagram, Marchisio said: “I’d made a promise to the kid who dreamt to become a football player. I would have played until I had felt the marvel of the dream coming true by stepping into the pitch. “In the past months my mind and my heart went through mixed feelings and I finally understood I wasn’t fulfilling my promise anymore....

According to ESPN, United have joined rivals Manchester City as potential suitors for the Portgual international, with a view to making him the long-term replacement for Ander Herrera. Herrera looks set to depart Old Trafford for Paris Saint-Germain after five seasons with the club, leaving manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a gap in the centre of midfield that needs filling. It’s easy to see why Fernandes would command so much interest after the 24-year-old has dominated in Liga NOS this season....

They were supposed to help to inspire United to challenge once again for trophies and, at the very least, ensure a return to the Champions League.

In case you didn’t know… Harry Maguire has been on the Manchester United shortlist for over a year now. The England international’s performances in the 2018 World Cup led to him attracting interest from then United manager Jose Mourinho. The 26-year-old who started his career with Sheffield United in 2011 made his Premier League debut 3 years later with Hull City. Maguire suffered relegation in his PL debut season but churned up some impressive performances when the Tigers returned to the English top flight....

Meanwhile, Carlton Cole has said that Cristiano Ronaldo is part of the problem at Old Trafford. Elsewhere, the Red Devils could face competition from Barcelona for a Juventus defender.

The Red Devils managed to achieve the feat without the likes of Edinson Cavani, Raphael Varane, and Marcus Rashford, with Jadon Sancho only making a cameo appearance from the bench. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be pleased with the emphatic start, even though he might be preparing for a few changes to the squad before the end of the summer. Manchester United remain determined to keep their star players at the club....

Meanwhile, talkSPORT host Simon Jordan wants the Red Devils to offload Marcus Rashford this summer. Elsewhere, the Old Trafford outfit are interested in a Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker.

In case you didn’t know… Manchester United need a major overhaul to bridge the gap between them and the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool. With the intention of doing so, they are not only in the hunt for some fresh faces but also are looking to axe a few flops from the squad to create space for the new players. Romelu Lukaku, who scored only just 15 goals in 45 appearances in all competitions for Manchester United last season, has been linked with a move to Inter Milan for a while now....

As a benchmark for United’s initial progress since Ten Hag’s arrival from Ajax in July, a meeting with opponents who thrashed them during a dismal 2021/22 campaign could prove instructive. Brighton finished the season on a five-match unbeaten run that included three wins, securing their highest ever final position of ninth in the top flight. How can you watch United’s opener? What odds can you get on Brighton to produce another surprise?...

The Red Devils were finally back on the pitch after a pair of COVID-19 postponements, the first league match for the club since December 11, and the rust showed with Newcastle taking advantage through an early Allan Saint-Maximin goal. An Edinson Cavani strike with 20 minutes remaining was enough to secure the draw as Ralf Rangnick’s men take the point and go back to the drawing board. The Magpies were the more dangerous side for much of the match, and will feel incredibly unlucky not to get more from the match....

The 63-year-old signed a three-year deal at Old Trafford last summer, revealing in March that the job will be his last in football and that he expects assistant Ryan Giggs to succeed him when he retires. “I have a period of three years and I am sure I will win a championship or a title within the three years. Maybe we can do that next year,” said van Gaal....

Questions were asked early on in the 2017-18 campaign as to how the Reds would cope without Philippe Coutinho pulling the strings, with a January move to Barcelona for the Brazilian having been on the cards for some time. Jurgen Klopp’s side have, however, flourished without a key creative influence, with their ‘Fab Three’ forward line exceeding all expectations. PFA Player of the Year and Golden Boot winner Salah has been the undoubted star, recording 44 goals across all competitions, but he has been ably assisted by Firmino and Mane, who have 27 and 19 goals to their respective names....
