"My paintings can be described as sculptural in nature, emphasising physical presence, weight and materiality."

Aday Mara turned 21 minutes after achieving something unprecedented in Spanish sports: winning the NCAA and doing so as a key player on both offense and defense for the Michigan Wolverines.

"He helped me a lot from the moment he arrived at Barcelona, he was with me at all times. He gave me advice, taught me things and did everything possible so that I could be where I am today, in the first division," Messi said in 2005.

The Bandera Cimarrona, a flag conceived at the first edition of the International Summit of Afro-descendants in Puerto Rico in 2022, stands as a symbol of the resistance, the pursuit of freedom, and the strength of Afro-descendants on the island and throughout the Americas.

By the way, Kim's a young coach. He's a very good coach. He communicates well with his team...What happened to them is they lost so many close games in the beginning that it went the other way for them, and unfortunately, that happens. He's gonna have a long career. He's a very good basketball coach.

In nearly a century of men's World Cup football, only four Caribbean nations have ever qualified. This year, more finally will, but many of their supporters, especially Haitians, will be unable to travel to cheer them on, blocked by immigration rules that sit uneasily beside sport's language of unity. It is a dissonance capturing a deeper truth: Caribbean athletes are welcome on the global stage but Caribbean people less so.

Puerto Rico's boutique hotels are the island's best storytellers. Small, locally owned properties can shape a trip in ways chains cannot. In Old San Juan, they occupy vibrant streets where pastel-colored facades meet cobblestones, letting guests wander from museums and galleries to independent shops without ever leaving the neighborhood.

When your plane descends into Puerto Rico's Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, it will likely fly low over the colorful buildings of Santurce, a sprawling district famous for its creative residents and Afro-Caribbean influences. Neglected for decades, Santurce is rapidly reclaiming its title as one of San Juan's most exciting quarters - a transformation that has earned it the nickname "The Brooklyn of Puerto Rico." And if you're looking for Afro-Caribbean cuisine, you're coming to the right place.

Free-agent forward Jeremy Sochan is signing with the New York Knicks after he clears waivers, according to his agent, Deirunas Visockas. Per ESPN, the deal is for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. Sochan was released by the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday and had as many as 10 teams showing interest. But the Knicks win the sweepstakes a week after a trade deadline in which they failed to bring in the wing depth that they had been looking for.

With one game under their belt, it's clear Kerr didn't undersell Brooklyn's two stars. It's a celebratory moment for an organization that went all-in on Bridges and Johnson after Kevin Durant requested a trade to the Phoenix Suns last season. The pair of franchise cornerstones combined for 29 points on 13-of-19 shooting from the field in Team USA's 117-74 blowout victory over Puerto Rico in an exhibition game on Monday in Las Vegas.

The late Joe Kapp could make that claim. He played two sports at Cal, best known for leading the Bears to their most recent Rose Bowl following the 1958 season. But the man who later quarterbacked the BC Lions to a Canadian Grey Cup championship and the Minnesota Vikings into Super Bowl IV also played hoops for the Bears. He was an All-American in football, a backup guard on the basketball team. Kapp played the 1956-57 and '57-58 seasons, averaging just 1.8 points each season.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Senior Nico Parlanti tallied a team-high 21 points, but St. Peter's couldn't protect a fourth-quarter lead and dropped a 66-60 CHSAA AA overtime decision to visiting Xaverian on Wednesday. Aaron Vazquez, Tyler Schoenberg and Noah Scott teamed for an additional 22 points for the Eagles, who dropped to 9-11 overall after suffering their second consecutive loss. Head coach Ryan Woods' team will now direct its attention to Saturday's SIHSL Tournament quarterfinals.

Has Kasparas Jakucionis turned a corner? Over his last three games specifically, as he's garnered a bigger role in the rotation (because of injuries), it does seem as if Jakucionis has turned a corner in his early-season struggles. Jakucionis is averaging 17 points, four assists, and three rebounds on 62 percent shooting from the field and 61 percent shooting from 3-point range during that span.
