Share this: The Charles Barkley-LaVar Ball feud is one of the newest and most entertaining in sports. Ball, father of UCLA star Lonzo Ball, has been a media sensation as he continues to hype his son’s talents, as well as his own. Barkley, who’s never shy about giving his two cents, made a mockery of LaVar’s bold claim that he could’ve beaten Michael Jordan 1-on-1 and challenged him to a matchup himself. The two have continued to trade verbal jabs, and their feud reached new levels of hilarity during CBS Sports’ NCAA Tournament broadcast Friday night. Prior to UCLA’s first-round matchup against Kent State, Barkley donned a Golden Flashes jersey as a direct shot at LaVar. You can hear Barkley explain his motive behind the

Silverstone: Believe the hype
Movistar Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo had a tough race after weather played havoc with practice, gambling slightly on setup and not able to get into the front group. In that front group, the notable battle behind Viñales saw Rossi and Marc Marquez go head-to-head in a spectacular duel for P3.

Brennan told RTÉ Sport: “I think in past years, players have got caught up in that media hype and thinking they are better than they are. But there is no fear of that happening with this squad. “We’re aware to the reality that there is hype out there but we know we are not
