And we start in the NBA – ticket prices at Crypto.com Arena for today’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks have plummeted after Lebron James broke the NBA scoring record in LA on Tuesday.
Courtside seats were going for a crazy US$68,995 a pop for this game and maybe some were even sold.
Tickets for the game Wednesday in which LeBron James actually broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time NBA scoring record of 38,387 points went through the roof before tip-off, with some courtside tickets selling for over US$48,400.
In Rugby – We start with a warning to the Fiji Rugby Union: Because of his breakout performances week-after-week in Super Rugby last year, where Vinaya Habosi set the Australian competition on fire with his sheer speed, powerful running and outrageous tries, several NRL Clubs are already trying to make contact.
Wayne Bennett’s Dolphins have made it clear they are interested in signing a flyer.
Could it be Habosi?
In rugby league – the NRL’s pre-season kicked off in New Zealand last night where the NZ Warriors new-look side hammered Benji Marshall’s Wests Tigers 12-48 at Mt Smart Stadium, with off-season recruit, Luke Metcalf and hat-trick hero and Fiji Bati flyer, Marcelo Montoya impressing.
In football – Harry Kane’s strike at home earlier this week, sealed a 1-0 win against Man City and took him past Jimmy Greaves as Tottenham’s all-time record scorer of 267 goals.
Meanwhile, Marseille has sent PSG crashing out of the French Cup with a 2-1 upset at Stade Velodrome. It is only their second win in their last 27 meetings with PSG.
In the NFL – Aussie-Samoan Philadelphia Eagles Rookie superstar, Jordan Mailata says that he used to skip school to watch the Super Bowl at home in Sydney, but “mainly for the halftime show”.
The young Mailata could never have envisaged he would one day be playing in one of them, but the hulking former South Sydney Rabbitoh is now reveling in the excitement of the biggest sporting event on the US calendar.
On Super Bowl Sunday, Mailata has the task of protecting superstar Quarterback, Jalen Hurts against the Kansas City Chiefs.
In boxing – UFC284 in Perth this Sunday is shaping up to be a really big event, with a sold-out stadium and pay-per-view sales smoking. The experts are tipping reigning UFC Lightweight Champion, and feared wrestler, Islam Makhachev to smother Aussie UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski on the floor.
