The former Sampdoria boss was this week confirmed as the successor to Gennaro Gattuso, who quit the San Siro club last month after missing out on Champions League qualification. He is tasked with reviving the fallen Italian giants, who have not finished in the top four of Serie A since 2013, after earning praise for his style of play at Sampdoria. “Milan’s history speaks of a club that always sought the beauty in football and the aesthetics along with the result,” he told his new club’s official website....

Esposito has established himself as an actor who can seamlessly play a villain, as he has over the past few years with shows like Breaking Bad, The Boys, and The Mandalorian. If he were to get the role he reportedly wants in an X-Men film, this would be a change of pace for him.

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with 32 points and 17 rebounds as the Bucks won their third consecutive game and improved to 35-6 for the season. Khris Middleton posted 30 points and team-mate Eric Bledsoe contributed 29 for the high-flying Bucks in Portland on Saturday. The Lakers celebrated their eighth successive victory by topping the Oklahoma City Thunder 125-110 without a host of stars on the road. LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Danny Green were all absent for the trip to Oklahoma City, but Western Conference leaders the Lakers still won thanks to a season-high 36 points from Kyle Kuzma....

To better understand and effectively compare both players, we will be dissecting this piece into sections; scoring tally, defensive prowess, awards & honors won and leadership.

Antetokounmpo scored 32 points and collected 17 rebounds as the Bucks (37-6) extended their winning streak to five games on Thursday. It was the 35th double-double of the season for reigning MVP Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee. Kemba Walker posted a game-high 40 points for the Celtics (27-13) on the road. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers made it back-to-back wins via a 122-95 victory over the Orlando Magic. Orlando ended the Los Angeles Lakers’ winning streak on Wednesday, but they were unable to back up that performance against the Clippers....

The Giants shortstop tied a major league record Monday and early Tuesday with seven hits in a marathon game against the Marlins in Miami. MORE: If A-Rod wants to play again, where might he wind up? Crawford’s record-tying hit came in the top of the 14th inning off Marlins righty Andrew Cashner. The single scored Brandon Belt from second base to break a … wait for it … 7-7 tie....

Following a hint from head coach Pat Shurmur on Monday, the move was confirmed in a team statement after two inconsistent starts by Manning that have left the Giants in an 0-2 hole. Jones, selected sixth overall in April, gave the Giants reason to believe in their backup with his strong performances during the preseason as he completed 29 of his 34 passes for 416 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions....

New York and Washington hold the NFC’s final two playoff spots at 7-5-1, two weeks after a matchup between these NFC East rivals ended in a 20-20 tie. Not only are the Seahawks sitting right behind them in the wild card race, but the Lions are surging into the conversation as well. It may not be the most aesthetic game, but the result will matter considerably. Plus, even when the quality of football isn’t great, these two franchises always find a way to entertain when they face off....

Now Seventh Avenue is looking to California. At Manhattan clubs, the regulars are decked out in taffeta, velvet and sequin-encrusted bathing suits. Michael Kors offers an emerald green off-the-shoulder bathing suit that can be taken to the islands and worn to a pool party or slipped under a velvet skirt for cocktails. The inspiration is straight out of the Pacific-although the matching crushed-velvet leggings are a concession to colder climates....

What do you make of such a kid? A generation ago, he might have been written off as a discipline problem or a psychopath–someone who insists on misbehaving even though he’s smart enough to know better. But we now know there are different kinds of intelligence, which can crop up in unusual combinations. The world, as it turns out, is full of people who find fractal geometry easier than small talk, people who can spot a tiny lesion on a chest X-ray but can’t tell a smile from a smirk....

RELATED: Ghost Of Tsushima: 10 Video Game Warriors Jin Sakai Can Fight These two samurai warriors are without a doubt two of the fiercest samurais in all of Tsushima. They’ve won battles together, fought beside one another, and fought against each other. Jin Sakai and Lord Shimura have indeed dueled with their lives on the line at the end of the game, but it can be argued that both of them weren’t exactly giving it their 100% because of their history with each other....

Taking this into consideration, with the current quarter now being the window of October through December of this year, it’s possible that “next quarter” might mean that a Ghost Recon: Wildlands beta could become available sometime at the start of 2017. Of course, it’s important to reiterate that Ubisoft hasn’t declared a specific date, so it is simply speculation at this point a to when a trial could go live....

As the setting implies, players will face off against plenty of high-tech opponents as they take on Walker and find out what’s truly been unfolding on the island. Having to take on another Ghost isn’t the only franchise-first for Ghost Recon Breakpoint, though: Ubisoft has added plenty of brand new gameplay elements that include dialogue choices, drone-intensive combat, new survival elements, and raids. The island setting of Auroa will host everything from snowy peaks and sandy beaches to jungles, deserts, and even a volcano....

Led by MVP finalist Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee were ruthless as the Bucks took a 2-0 series lead on Friday. Toronto showed some fight at certain points in the contest but the Bucks pulled away within four minutes of the opening tip. Milwaukee started the game on a 9-0 run, prompting a timeout from Raptors head coach Nick Nurse with just 3:13 off the clock, but the damage was already done....

The Bucks, who are eyeing a first NBA championship since 1971, suffered disappointment in the playoffs last season, going out in a 4-1 Eastern Conference semifinals series loss to the Heat. Their exit came after they had finished the regular season with an NBA-best 56-17 record. The postseason blow prompted speculation over the future of Antetokounmpo, who has been named NBA MVP two straight years and can become a free agent at the end of the 2020-21 season, when he will be eligible for a supermax extension....

In an interview with NEWSWEEK, the ship’s captain, John Bennett, said it took his 25-man crew two hours to land the beast, which surfaced barely alive, eating a hooked fish that was being reeled in. “Being alongside a creature that big is just awesome,” he said. The adult male squid is being donated to research, and scientists are eagerly waiting for it to thaw so they can examine it before it goes on display at New Zealand’s national museum in Wellington....

Wildfires along the West Coast, from Oregon to California, turned the sky orange over San Francisco and Oakland, sites of Oracle Park and the Alameda County Coliseum, respectively. A nighttime feel smothered the Bay Area during daytime hours. Suffice it to say, these are not images of ballparks at sunset, but rather at sun blockage. Both games were played to a conclusion; the Giants routed the Mariners 10-1 and the A’s defeated the Astros 3-2 on a walk-off hit by Ramon Laureano....

Sweet Carl line, indeed. “I was just excited being able to do that before friends and family,” Mike Yastrzemski said afterward (via The Assocated Press). “The crowd reactions, all night, were incredible. I can’t thank them enough for being supportive.” Yastrzemski turned around a 95.8 mph fastball from Nathan Eovaldi, hitting it into the center-field bleachers. Translation: not a cheapie. Even Eovaldi appreciated the moment. “Yeah, it’s cool,” he said....

However, New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese isn’t convinced his star wide receiver played through those injuries. “I don’t know about that,” Reese said during his press conference at the NFL Scouting Combine, via Newsday. “I think he’s trying to be a hero. I don’t think you can play with two [tears in your] hamstring and run fast like that.” Reese insisted that if Beckham did have two tears in his hamstring, he would not have played in the Pro Bowl....
