  • WWE Superstar Danhausen Says Knicks’ Game 3 Loss Isn’t His Fault

    WWE Superstar Danhausen Says Knicks’ Game 3 Loss Isn’t His Fault

    Ever since WWE superstar Danhausen lifted the curse off the New York Knicks, the team has reached a successful 13-game winning streak. However, their undefeated streak ended in Game 3 of the finals against the San Antonio Spurs.

    While playing at home in Madison Square Garden, the Knicks often trailed behind the Spurs for most of the game, and there were even some aggressive plays on the court. With Jalen Brunson scoring 32 points, OG Anunoby scoring 28 points, and Josh Hart scoring 16 points, it wasn’t good enough against Victor Wembanyama, who also scored 32 points, and Stephon Castle, who scored 23 points.

    The Spurs would beat the Knicks 115-111, which forces Game 5 in San Antonio. After the crushing loss, Danhausen took to X.com and tweeted, “Danhausen isn’t to blame for tonight.”

    Many fans responded to the tweet, reassuring the wrestler that he is not to blame for the loss, but put the blame on Donald Trump, who was also in attendance during last night’s game.

    The NYC crowd heavily booed Trump during the national anthem. He was later seen sleeping during the game.

    The Knicks will be back for Game 4 of the Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night in Madison Square Garden.

    NBA Legend Stacey King Dies at 59; Reported Fall Cited as Cause

    The death of NBA legend Stacey King has left the sports world in mourning.

    King, a three-time NBA champion and longtime Chicago Bulls broadcaster, passed away on June 7 after being found in his home in River Forest, Illinois. According to reports, King allegedly suffered a fall at his home, but officials are still trying to determine the cause of death.

    The Chicago Bulls announced the passing of King on the same day, which led to an outpouring of tributes for the fallen legend.

    “Stacey King was a cherished member of the Bulls family and one of the truly unique personalities in our organization’s history,” Bulls chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said in a statement.

    Michael Reinsdorf, the team’s president and CEO, also remembered King and said he had a “unique gift for bringing people together and making every game feel personal.”

    During his career, Stacey King played for the Boston Celtics, Minnesota Timberwolves, Miami Heat, and Dallas Mavericks. After retiring from the league, King became a fixture on Bulls telecasts for almost 20 years.

    A few weeks before his untimely passing, King said that he loves his job and that it “never seems like work for me.”

    Stacey King was 59 years old. We will continue to keep his family and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.
