Having a custom radio on consoles isn’t an impossible feat, as there have been games in the past that have done this. Nevertheless, Need for Speed Unbound’s music is great enough already, so gamers won’t ever feel like the tracklist is putting them to sleep. It also features music from A$AP Rocky, who is a character in the game. RELATED: Need for Speed Unbound is Missing Dax From Its Soundtrack...
Daniel “Dax” Nwosu Jr. is a Nigerian Canadian rapper, whose music career began to blow up around 2017. He’s really only been on the music scene for five years, more or less, but has managed to accumulate a following of 4.7M followers on YouTube. For comparison, Need for Speed Unbound’s A$AP Rocky has 4.79M on that platform. Many have been following Dax’s promising career from the start, with many early fans often recalling how he would rap about being a janitor during his fledgling career and many would even joke that he could “afford a shirt” after his career blew up....
Need for Speed Unbound, so far, is looking like a unique entry for the franchise. Racing games have been in a rut for years, so to speak, but Need for Speed Unbound is taking a unique approach with its visuals, adding cartoony and almost anime-like content to every aspect of the game.

The Commission for Countering Extremism says that extremists are using the pandemic to advance dangerous conspiracy theories, to cause division and breed hate. The report, “COVID-19: How Hateful Extremists are Exploiting the Pandemic”, states: “We have heard reports of British Far Right activists and Neo-Nazi groups promoting anti-minority narratives by encouraging users to deliberately infect groups, including Jewish communities and of Islamists propagating anti-democratic and anti-Western narratives, claiming that COVID-19 is divine punishment from Allah on the West for their alleged ‘degeneracy’....
Nepal is now effectively paralyzed by terror. The Maoists control some 40 percent of the country, where they mete out their brand of justice in “people’s courts” and conscript one child from every household. Bombings, kidnappings and murders in the night are routine. National elections, scheduled to be held this past fall, were indefinitely postponed after the communist guerrillas threatened attacks. When rebels ordered the schools closed in December, a string of bombings kept 5....
But a triple-double average for a season means that a player should average double digits in at least three of the categories for the entire season. Russell Westbrook has achieved this feat on three consecutive occasions. Despite that, this is one of the toughest feats to achieve in NBA. Before Westbrook, only Oscar Robertson managed to average a triple-double for the season. Even someone like a LeBron James with such a versatile and all-round game has never come close to achieving this feat....
According to the league’s collective bargaining agreement, free agents can’t be traded for three months or until Dec. 15 after signing new deals, depending on which date comes later.

That took one of the most sought-after wings immediately off the market. TRADE GRADES: Ariza won’t fix struggling Wizards...

The Bulls plan to trade Mirotic ahead of the Feb. 8 trade deadline, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The fallout from the Cousins deal –– besides despair from a perpetually depressed fan base –– has put a lot of pressure on Danny Ainge and the Celtics, who are sitting on a stockpile of assets. Boston fans are hoping their team makes a splash after the Celtics passed on the Kings’ now-former big man. Also in the mix to make moves are the Bulls, who have been linked to Jahlil Okafor and must decide whether to keep or move Jimmy Butler....
The contest has been the night-capping event on Saturday for years, probably every year since it was introduced in 1984.

Robinson made his comments during his speech last weekend at the North Carolina Faith & Freedom Coalition’s “Salt & Light Conference.” The coalition is a right-wing evangelical political group. During his speech, Robinson mentioned getting pushback for having “too much religious fervor.” He said his critics often say the U.S. “is not a Christian nation anymore.” “As for this, not being a Christian nation. Yes, it is,” Robinson said. “If you don’t like it, I’ll buy your plane, train or automobile ticket right up out of here....
This wasn’t about someone trying to win basketball games by breaking recruiting rules. This charge, to which Person eventually pleaded guilty, had actual victims: the athletes who were getting pressure from someone they trusted to take actions that quite possibly were not in their best interests.

In Bob Frederick’s life, and in his tenure as Kansas athletic director, it was hard to find anyone in the business with a bad word to say about him. So, too, with Michigan basketball coach John Beilein, who coached Michigan to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight and Final Four the past two seasons without a hint of controversy or animosity during either trip. So it was an obviously comfortable fit when Beilein was chosen to receive the Bob Frederick Sportsmanship Award, given by the NCAA since 2009 in honor of the late former Jayhawks administrator....
