Real Madrid can lose Kylian Mbappe to Liverpool. As per the report, the Premier League champions want to sign the French youngster at a record fee of £173m. But Real Madrid can’t offer that much money for him.
Real Madrid is in a financial crisis this season. They need to negotiate a squad-wide pay cut this season to avoid £78million (€90m) losses. In this circumstance, it is impossible for Real Madrid to compete with Liverpool in a big-money transfer. Real Madrid may have to release or sell some players to arrange the transfer money for the Frenchman.
Former Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is the idol of the Frenchman. Real Madrid hopes the love for Ronaldo can open the door for Mbappe. The idea of wearing Cristiano Ronaldo’s old No 7 shirt and lighting up the refurbished Santiago Bernabeu can do the trick for them.
In Thursday night’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets, LeBron James became the third player in the history of the NBA to score 35,000 career points. He did so, and that put him in elite company in terms of both skill and longevity. Only two other players in NBA history have scored 35,000 points, and both also wore coincidentally Lakers: Karl Malone (36,928) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387).
36-year-old James also became the youngest player in league history to reach the 35,000-point plateau. Malone was 39 when he scored his 35,000th point while Abdul-Jabbar did it at the age of 38.
The third player to ever reach the 35,000 Point Club. The fastest to ever get there.
In the game, James needed 15 points to reach 35,000 for his career. The historic moment came in the second quarter. James went to the free-throw line down double-digits against the Nets and converted his first attempt to reach 15 on the night, getting him past the 35,000 mark. He ended the night with 32 points, on 14-of-23 shooting, along with eight rebounds and seven assists.
The Nets who are widely considered to be the Lakers’ primary competition, dominated for most of Thursday’s game, and built a 25-point lead while the Lakers helplessly tried to keep it close, eventually losing 109-98. For Brooklyn, Kevin Durant was out and for Los Angeles, there was no Anthony Davis and guard Dennis Schroder.
It is remarkable to note that in every season of his career, James has scored a minimum of 1,500 points, and he has gone above 2,000 points in a season 10 times. Given his current trajectory, he could reach the 36,000-point before the season ends and should pass Malone on the all-time scoring list during the 2021-22 season.
LeBron becomes the third player in NBA history to score 35K career points 👑
This was not the only milestone that James achieved this week. The four-time MVP is also within 400 rebounds of the career 10,000 rebound mark and within 500 assists of reaching 10,000 for his career.
In 29 games this season, the MVP candidate is averaging 34.7 minutes, 25.7 points, 7.9 assists and 8.2 rebounds.

Originally, the 2021 NBA All-Star Game was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the league has reversed course and decided to hold a one-night event in Atlanta on March 7.
On Thursday, the two captains, as well as their fellow starters, were announced following a process that was determined by a combination of voting from fans (50 percent), media (25 percent) and players (25 percent).
The All-Star captains, one from each conference, will select their teams from the remaining All-Star reserves, in the All-Star Draft on March 4th on TNT.
The Western Conference captain is LeBron James. He has 17 all-star appearances and is currently averaging 25.7 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 7.9 apg in the regular season. Other starters from the West include Nikola Jokic, Kawhi Leonard, Stephen Curry abs Luka Doncic.
The Eastern Conference captain is Kevin Durant. He has 11 All-Star appearances and is currently averaging 29.0 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 5.3 apg in the regular season. Other started from the East include Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Bradley Beal and Kyrie Irving.
There was a slight amount of drama this year in determining the Western Conference starters. When the votes from all the different groups are tallied, each player ends up with a weighted score. This year Luka Doncic and Damian Lillard ended in a tie. Doncic ended up getting the starting spot because he won the tiebreaker, which is based on fan voting.
The All-Star Game will again feature an Elam Ending. Both teams will play to a target score in an untimed fourth quarter, the leading team’s score after three quarters, plus 24. The league announced that they will honor Kobe Bryant during the All-Star Game by incorporating his jersey number 24 into the determination of the final target score.

The NBA also made official its plans to host a 3-point contest, skills competition and dunk contest as part of its one-night All-Star celebration. The 3-point contest and skills competition will be held before the game.

As a part of the health and safety precautions, players participating in the All-Star Game are only allowed to leave their host cities for out-of-market residences during the NBA’s break from March 5-10.
