Real Madrid has one game in hand and just 1 point behind Barcelona. If Real Madrid will win a game against Espanyol they will lead the league with 2 points. Barcelona dropped 2 points in this game as Celta Vigo is at the bottom of the table in La Liga. Barcelona needed to win this game with dominance but they missed it.

Now it's already decided that the NBA season will be resume and they will play in Orlando in a Bubble environment. NBA released a schedule for their regular season's remaining games. 

Los Angeles Lakers get a tough schedule than the Clippers. Los Angeles Lakers are now 5.5 games ahead of the second-seeded Clippers. Despite they get a tough schedule, it looks mostly impossible for the Clippers to take first place in the Western Conference Standings. 

The regular season will start with a bang when the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers will face each other on July of 30th.

Los Angeles Lakers Schedule :

For the Lakers Avery Bradly's loss will be hurt them in the title race. He is opted out and does not want to play in the bubble environment. Lakers have 2 best players out of the top 10 in today's NBA and they have very good supporting players. Lakers look like they are not going to lose the first place in the Western Conference. After the coronavirus pandemic, all players are refreshed and the best player on the planet LeBron James first time gets the rest time between plays in the regular season. The same goes for the Clippers, Now they are injury-free and all players of the Clippers will play at their highest level, This thing is scary for other teams when Clippers are fully healthy. 

Day	Team 1	Vs	Team 2	Date
Thursday	Clippers	Vs	Lakers	30-Jul
Saturday	Lakers	Vs	Raptors	1-Aug
Monday	Lakers	Vs	Jazz	3-Aug
Wednesday	Lakers	Vs	OKC	5-Aug

Wednesday	Nuggets	Vs	Clippers	12-Aug
Friday	OKC	Vs	Clippers	14-Aug

There are only 8 games that will be played in the regular season and the Clippers are 5.5 games behind the Lakers to top the Western Conference but it looks like it impossible for them to do it. Lakers are not going to lose all 8 games, If the Lakers lose more than 6 games and the Clippers will win all 8 games they will be top of the Western Conference. Clippers have Kawhi Leonard and Paul George who is regarded as the best two players in NBA and they have the best sixth man in the NBA and some toughest guys who are too good at defending a ball. 

Now in the Standing at the top, It clearly Los Angeles Lakers will be there but for the NBA title Lakers have the upper hand but the Clippers have a great team. It is nearly impossible to tell which team will be the NBA champion.

There is a disappointment for the boys, for the club, for the fans, but this is a particular moment, both for the physical condition and for some important absence. We made different choices than usual, pressing less high to have a better grip at a distance and played a game with a good level. Right now, however, we lack  brilliance and without that brilliance, it becomes more difficult to beat man, which our players  are usually used to doing easily and finding other solutions."

Nadal told ESPN," The reality is that they are already there. There are many young players fighting for the maximum and winning important things."

After Nadal's comment rivalry between the young and old will going to be intense. Young players will do their best to win the Major. 

Medvedev, Dominic Thiem, Zverev, and Tsitsipas are top candidates to win Majors after these 3 superstars. Dominic Thiem and Medvedev gave some fight in the finals to these 3 players.

From the future of Tennis, Stefanos Tsitsipas is 21 years old, Daniil Medvedev is 24 years old, Dominic Thiem is 26 years old and Alexander Zverev is 23 years old. They are young and they have a bright future with the talent they have after Nadal, Federer, and Djokovic will not play at their best.

                                                                 From Twitter/@rogerfederer/@RafaelNadal/@DjokerNole

These 3 players gave the best time to their fans in the Tennis. They are true rivals and competitors. In Every game or in every Grand Slam Finals they delivered what fans want to see.

Roger Federer is regarded as the best player of all time in Tennis and after That Nadal is second regarded as the second-best player of all time. Early in their career they played each other many times and won many majors until other player named Novak Djokovic started to show his Potential and He catches up to everything that Nadal and Federer achieved and in some of them, He even surpassed them  

Now Novak has 19 Major 3 behind Roger and 2 behind Rafael Nadal. Roger won 20 Majors and Nadal won 19 titles.

Nadal has a better chance to break Roger's record. Roger Federer is now 38 years old, 4 years older than Nadal, and 5 years older than Djokovic but after winning the Australian Open Novak has also made a case for who will be the player holding more Majors than others. 

After these players, some young players have the talent to win a Major but they fall just short in front of them. Medvedev, Dominic Thiem, Tsitsipas, and Zverev are going to be the future of the Tennis.       

Nadal and Djokovic have some Tennis left in them, If those young players will not gain their confidence as they can beat these three legendary stars than they don't have not much chance to win Major in the next two years. 

If Nadal will win 2 more Major and Roger will not win any than Nadal will be the Top Of the Major Titles Tree and Djokovic need to win 4 more titles to past Roger's 20, It looks like more difficult to achieve.

  

In the Sport when you get old you don't have that much chance to win any Major tournaments unless you are Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic, and from other sports players like LeBron James, Tom Brady, Sachin Tendulkar They all won Major titles in their old age.

from all of these three players, Nadal has a better chance to win more Majors and he has a better chance to break Roger's record.

 Players Comparison:

Player	AO	FO	UO	Wim.	Total majors	W-L	Country
Federer(38)	6	1	5	8	20	1242-271	Switzerland
Nadal(34)	1	12	4	2	19	990-200	Spain
Novak(33)	8	1	3	5	17	911-187	Serbia

                                                                                                                      From Twitter/@imVkohli

There is always a comparison in any sports in the world. In Cricket and In India Sachin hailed as a god of cricket and Virat Kohli called as a King.

 Gautam Gambhir is a former Indian Cricketer who gave India many match-winning innings who picks Sachin Tendulkar between Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli.

Gambhir gave some reason why he chooses Sachin Tendulkar Over Virat Kohli because Today's Cricket becomes easier for a batsman than it was during Tendulkar's Era.  

Sachin Tendulkar has so many records in his book. he is the First Person to score 200 in an ODI, the First to achieve scoring 100 hundred in a Game of The Cricket. Besides this Sachin Tendulkar has so many Records. 

On a Star Sports show "Cricket Connected", the question asked to Gambhir who he picks between Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, He picks Sachin and gave some reason," Because, with one white ball and four fielders inside the circle, not five fielders outside, it will be Sachin for me. It's difficult because Virat Kohli has done phenomenally well but I think the rules have changed as well which has helped a lot of new batters. A new generation with two new balls, no reverse swings, nothing to the finger spin, five fielders inside for the 50 overs probably that makes batting easier." 

He also added that" Look at how Sachin Tendulkar has played, that time 230-240 was a winning total. probably I will go with Sachin Tendulkar if we see the longevity and flow of the one-day Cricket Format."

Kohli is doing great in today's Cricket and he is the best Cricketer of today's Era. He scored 27 Test Centuries and 43 ODI Centuries, He has the potential to break Sachin's 100 Century record. 

Kohli is 31 years old and he has much Cricket left in him, If he scores a minimum of 2 centuries each year within 4 years he will break Sachin's record in the ODI Format for the most Centuries.

and In Test He is far behind Sachin's 51 centuries, Kohli has scored 27 centuries in Test and he is 24 centuries behind Sachin's 51. In Test, It looks like it's going to be difficult to break Sachin's record. Sachin scored 15921 runs in the Test and Kohli scored 7240 runs in Test. He is 8681 runs behind from breaking Sachin's record in the test for most runs. In ODI he scored 11867 runs compared to Sachin's 18426 runs. Kohli has a chance to break Sachin's ODI centuries record but for other records, it's going to be difficult for him to break.

Because of the easy format and easy rules in Today's Era compared to Sachin's Era, Gautam Gambhir picks Sachin over Virat Kohli.

But also some of the NBA legends like Magic Johnson thinks LeBron has a chance to dominate in the '70s, 80's or '90s in the NBA.

In the interview with Stephen A. Smith, Magic Johnson says about LeBron James" First of all Let's not take anything away from LeBron James because LeBron James is a great Basketball player, one of all-time greatest that's ever played the game. LeBron James to me when you think all around Basketball player he probably the best of all time. Right! An all-round Basketball player but you wanna say who is the greatest ever is Michael Jordan."

He also says that" Now LeBron James chapter is not closed yet. Right! He still has some Basketball to play. So maybe he has a chance to catch him later on by getting some more championships under his belt. But at the end of the day, they both are great and they played the game right way. They made their teammate better, they won championships. And thank god for LeBron because right now that's what we are watching, We are watching LeBron James, this is his time, this is his era. and he dominated his era in this time."

In the early NBA and in the '90s, many considered that players play a physical game. What if LeBron played in that era. 

LeBron has any chance to dominate in that era? 

LeBron James has a more chance to dominate in that era because he is one of the best finishers around the rim and he has 6 feet 9 inches height and weight of nearly above 250 and he has point guard skill means to handle, shooting, running to the rim with force. With this type of physicality, LeBron has a more chance to dominate in that era.

Scottie Pippen,  A name come in mind after Jordan and Chicago Bulls for their 2 3-peat championships means 6 titles with the Bulls. Chicago Bulls got Scottie Pippen From the Seattle Supersonic and this is the best thing that happened to the Chicago Bulls before this Chicago Bulls lost to the Boston Celtics in the first round of the Eastern Conference. and in the 1984-85 season, they lost to Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the Eastern Conference.  

This shows that how impactful Scottie Pippen was for Chicago Bulls. After acquiring Scottie Pippen Bulls made it to the Semifinals and In the Next Season, they made it to the Finals but lost to the Detroit Piston in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The same happened in the next season, Bulls lost to the Detroit Piston. This shows that how bulls were improved after the trade of Scottie Pippen and Two consecutive finals losses to the Detroit Piston Chicago made it to the 1991 finals and won it after defeating Bad Boys Detroit Piston in the Eastern Conference. 

Scottie Pippen scored 16.1 points per game with 6.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 2 steal, and 0.8 blocks per game. This is a great number for any player for his career.

During the first 3 peat with the Bulls In the first NBA Finals Pippen averaged 17.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists with 2.4 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game. In the second Championship with the Bulls, he averaged 21 points, 7.7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game. In the 1992-93 season, he averaged 18.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 2.1 steal, and 0.9 blocks per game. This number shows how important Pippen was for Chicago Bulls.

In the First 3-NBA Finals with the Bulls :

Season	Game	Points	Rebounds	Assists	Steals	Blocks
1991 Finals	5	20.8	9.4	6.6	2.4	1
1992 Finals	6	20.8	8.3	7.7	1.5	0.7
1993 Finals	6	21.2	9.2	7.7	2	1

In the Second 3-NBA Finals with the Bulls : 

Season	Game	Points	Rebounds	Assists	Steals	Blocks
1996 Finals	6	15.7	8.2	5.3	2.3	1.3
1997 Finals	6	20	8.2	3.5	1.7	1.8
1993 Finals	6	15.7	6.8	4.8	1.7	0.8

Apart From scoring points, he was very good at everything than other Bulls players, though he was good at scoring as a second scoring option for the Bulls. He sacrificed many things in his career to win a title with the Bulls. Without him, Bulls wouldn't have 2 3-peat and 6 titles in NBA. Jordan played the main role but Pippen's role was as important as Jordan in those championships. In some of those 6 Finals, Pippen has batter record in rebounding, assists, steals, and blocks. This shows how great He was.
