Quick Glance: Irish Basketball Team Refuses Replay of Final 0.3 Seconds

The Irish basketball team Portlaoise Panthers will decline to replay the final 0.3 seconds of their match against Limerick Sport Eagles as it would go against the spirit of the sport.

Despite Limerick beating Portlaoise 80-78 on March 23, their opponents appealed the result citing a foul call preceding the Eagles' winning free throws that was awarded after the buzzer.

Basketball Ireland mandated the teams to replay 0.3 seconds of the Division One game.

However, the Panthers stated that replaying a fraction of a second in the quarter-final would violate the 'values of the game of basketball' and they would refuse to do so even if instructed.

What a career it's been for Rajon Rondo. 👏🏆

Quick Glance: Rajon Rondo retires from 16-year NBA career with two titles

Rajon Rondo, one of the best point guards of his generation, has officially announced his retirement from the NBA.

Reflecting on his successful career, Rondo finishes as a four-time All-Star, four-time All-Defensive player, and a two-time champion, ranking in the top 15 in career assists in the NBA.

After stints with the Celtics, Mavericks, Kings, Bulls, and Pelicans, Rondo concluded his career with the Los Angeles Lakers, contributing to a championship win.

His modest playing style as a floor general and pass-first point guard defined his career, leaving a legacy as one of the greatest playmakers in NBA history.
