Adam Silver was visibly upset by the lack of competitiveness in last year’s All-Star Game, sarcastically congratulating the winners after the final buzzer, “To the Eastern Conference All-Stars: You scored the most points. Well. … Congratulations.” It’s been a perennial problem for the NBA’s signature weekend. No one plays defense, many stars take it easy or sit out to protect against injuries and the game is full of undefended highlight-reel dunks and deep, deep three-pointers. In fact, with teams thrown together and All-Stars able to sink shots from 30+ feet, you could argue that playing defense in the exhibition game…

Iran sent a written message via Swiss diplomats in mid-October saying that it would not seek to kill Donald Trump, a U.S. official told NBC News. The message came after the Biden administration had sent a warning through Switzerland that it would view an assassination attempt against Trump as an act of war, the official said. Washington’s private message reflected public warnings from the Biden administration about the potential grave consequences of an assassination attempt. The Wall Street Journal first reported on Iran’s message. Switzerland handles U.S. diplomatic interests in Tehran as Iran and the United States do not have official diplomatic relations.…
WASHINGTON, USA – The future of net-zero carbon emission fuel for the maritime sector is coming. According to a new S&T market research survey, by 2050 the global production of ammonia could double, if not triple, due to its potential as a net-zero carbon emission alternative to fossil fuels. After Singapore pioneered ammonia bunkering (filling a ship’s fuel tank), the American Bureau of Shipping has taken the first step towards developing bunkering in the US. While this is an exciting development, storage and handling and the production plants’ proximity to ports increase risks of large-scale spills of toxic ammonia…

Khan Younis, Gaza – What does it mean to be hungry for months? In Gaza, where more than 43,000 of us have been killed by Israel’s bombardment and ground invasions – and many more thousands are lost, feared dead, under the rubble – we have been punished with hunger now for more than a year. In war, survival becomes the only focus, and hunger is a constant reminder of that. We have been forced to be hungry – we did not choose this. We’re struggling to survive under Israeli bombardment, but we’re failing. It has become clear to us that…
A near-steal in an NBA game was enough to make a Hollywood star’s dream come true. During Wednesday’s Chicago Bulls versus New York Knicks game, Knicks defensive stalwart OG Anunoby got his hand in the passing lane and deflected the ball out of bounds at Madison Square Garden. Anunoby’s momentum sent him into the scorer’s table near New York’s bench, though he was able to prevent himself from falling into the seats. But had Anunoby fallen over the scorer’s table, he would have landed right where actor Anne Hathaway was seated. And it turns out, the near-collision was actually something…
