Seems like players have forgotten what it’s like to have a full-throated crowd going nuts at a playoff game… going down to the wire.

Madison Square Garden in New York hosted one of the larger NBA crowds… seen since the league was shut down in March last year.

Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young dashed the hopes of New York fans after he hit the game-winner with 0.9 seconds remaining against the Knicks.

Players on both sides put up a fight, but Young has become the knicks’ biggest villain… silencing the home crowd that were chanting against him

He netted 32 points in a 107-105 win in Game 1 of the first round… a blow to Knicks fans

Who have been in a frenzy throughout the second half of the season… after they made the playoffs for the first time in 8 years.

Young has joined LeBron James as the only players with at least 30 points, 10 assists and five rebounds in his postseason debut.

Game 2 is scheduled for Wednesday… back again at Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks will try their shot again to win their first playoff game… in just short of a decade (It’s no wonder fans are screaming out of their seats)

Investors are buzzing as SpaceX gears up for a potential IPO, aiming to raise more than $25 billion, possibly as soon as June. The offering could value the company at over $1 trillion, fueling Musk’s ambitious plans for Mars and beyond.

Despite the high-risk nature of space ventures, demand from retail investors is expected to be strong. Experts predict this IPO could become historic, with the company’s market value potentially soaring past $2 trillion once it launches.

Musk’s unconventional management style hasn’t slowed investor enthusiasm, even amidst regulatory hurdles. The funds raised could also support groundbreaking innovations, including energy-efficient space data centers.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.

Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.

The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.

Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
