The 64th Annual NBA All-Star Weekend Highlights!

by SportsWhat's Hot

The real excitement began on Saturday night with the 3-point shoot out contest, where Golden State Warriors point guard, Stephen Curry scored 27 out of a possible 34 points in the Championship round. It was his first win in the event. Curry topped fellow Warriors guard, Klay Thompson who couldn’t handle the pressure after Curry’s superb performance, scoring 14 in the Championship round, less than in the elimination round and 2013 Three-Point Contest winner, Kyrie Irving of Cleveland Cavaliers, who scored 17.

The Slam Dunk Competition followed, which was totally dominated by Zach LaVine of Minnesota Timberwolves. Runner-up, Orlando Magic’s Victor Oladipo’s 360º Reverse Dunk deserves notable mention.

Check out how Zach LaVine gets all NBA players standing as he ‘Throws Down the “Space Jam” Dunk’ in the 2015 Sprite Slam-Dunk Contest here:

Last night, the West won 163-158 over the East, the record for the largest combined score of 321 compared to last year’s 318. But it was all about MVP All-Star, Russell Westbrook, guard for Oklahoma City Thunder, who racked up 41 points in style, just short of Wilt Chamberlain’s highest scoring MVP All-Star record of 42 made in 1962. Westbrook also set the record for most points in a half with 27. What a showman! LeBron who? James started out hot but fell short in the end with 30 points.

Congrats to all the winners of the All-Star Weekend!

Nobody wowed me this year, just like the performances. I sat there waiting and waiting. There are some ladies worthy of mention though. Gwen Stefani looked gorgeous in Versace. I think Versace took the Grammys this year. The hair was a bit too much on the messy side but effortlessly beautiful. Thanks Taylor Swift for some colour and switching it up. Katy Perry was dazzling. Kat Graham and Beyonce looked good, but Iggy Azalea in that blue with that figure! Hips in Armani Prive! Yes! Suga would say perfection, but not too sure about the hair that could have played a role in Spartacus. Bravo ladies!

Patriots win Super Bowl XLIX!

by SportsWhat's Hot

What a game! Patriots sealed the Super Bowl win last night with an interception on own goal line in the final minute to beat the Seahawks 28-24. Everyone was expecting the Seahawks to run the ball so we could see ‘Beast mode’ but sadly for them, they made the wrong call.

Patriots’ Tom Brady now ties Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana for most Super Bowl wins by a starting QB with 4. Congrats to Tom and the Patriots.

Djokovic wins his 5th Australian Open!

Suga congratulates Novak Djokovic for winning his 5th Australian Open title yesterday in Melbourne, beating Andy Murray 7-6, 6-7, 6-3, 6-0. He is now 5 for 5 with the Australian Open and it is his 8th Grand Slam title. Sadly it is the fourth time in four tries that Murray has lost the Australian Open final. This makes the 3rd time Murray has lost to Djokovic, while the other final was a loss to Federer.

It’s a good sign that a wife and kid has not slowed down this world #1 just yet.

Spoiler Alert! Serena wins the Australian Open!

by SportsWhat's Hot

Apologies SuGa Readers. The match seemed to be in the am and not the pm. However, Congrats to Serena Williams who fought through that cough and beat Maria Sharapova 6-3; 7-6, closing the match in style with an ace. This is Serena’s 6th Australian Open title and her 19th Grand Slam victory. She is looking to reach 22 to be on the same level as Steffi Graf to be the best in the open era for women. She plans to take it in steps to reach 20 and then 21 before she can look to 22.

SuGa wishes Serena all the best this year and hopes she can do it! The quicker, the better.

The time difference would also affect the time stated previously for the men’s final. So look out for that one in the early am tomorrow. There will be no clashes with the Super Bowl. Can’t have that happening. Enjoy the weekend!

Big Sports weekend! Australian Open Finals too!

For the Women’s Singles final tomorrow, it will be a battle between World number 1 and 2, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova not before 7:30pm.

News just in that Serena cut practice short because she is suffering from a cold. Can she find the Michael Jordan within her to win the Championship and move even further up in rank amongst the greats?

The Men’s Singles final will be this Sunday, not before 7:30pm, conflicting with Super Bowl time. It will feature World number 1 Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray (6).
