Photo: Instagram/Neymar Jr Despite rumors suggesting that Manchester United might make a shock move for Neymar Jr during the upcoming transfer window, the deal would be impossible due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) concerns related to the player's high wages. The Brazilian star is said to have been eyed as a marquee signing for United's potential buyer Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani , who is looking for total control of the club should his £5bn bid be successful. However, Neymar's wages of upwards of £606,000 per week make him out of reach for Manchester United, even if they were to sell several players to shake up their wage bill. Photo: Instagram/Neymar Jr continues to raise the bar and solidify his legacy as one of the greatest footballers of all time. Furthermore, Neymar is said to be uncertain about playing in the Premier League, which further complicates the issue. If Sheikh Jassim's bid is successful, the club is likely to invest in a statement signing to annou

Photo: Instagram/Jimmy Butler Jimmy Butler , a shooting guard for the Miami Heat , may have had a career rife with disappointments, but he has earned his place in history as the greatest underdog in NBA playoff history. Despite the fact that Butler has never won a championship, he is the last person that players on the road to the championship want to face. Butler's win rate of 46% in 13 series in which his team was the lower seed, is impressive when compared to the 24% win rate of lower seeds since Butler became a full-time starter in 2014. Photo: Instagram/ Jimmy Butler rises as the ultimate underdog, making NBA history with his unwavering determination and relentless spirit. His 19-25 record on the road in the postseason equates to a winning percentage of about 43%, while road teams, in general, have only won 35% of playoff games between 1984 and 2020.

Photo: Instagram/Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards , the star of the Minnesota Timberwolves , had a chance to send Game 5 against the Denver Nuggets to overtime, but he missed a crucial three-pointer, resulting in their defeat. Following the loss, Edwards ran straight to the locker room as the buzzer sounded, which is uncommon in the NBA where players typically exchange high-fives, hugs, or handshakes at center court. While some understood that Edwards is still reeling from the pain of defeat, some Nuggets fans believe that he should have at least exchanged a few niceties with the opposing team. Photo: Instagram/ Anthony Edwards is being criticized for not showing sportsmanship during the Game 5 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Despite the criticism, there were some contrasting voices that defended Edwards from accusations of being unsportsmanlike.
