Mahrez becomes first African to win PFA Player of the Year

Algeria and Leicester City mercurial attacker Riyad Mahrez has won the Professional Football Association (PFA) Footballer of the year award for the 2015/16 season in the Premier League.

He is the first African man to win this award after he held off competition from teammates & England striker Jamie Vardy and France combative midfielder N'golo Kante, Tottenham & England top marksman Harry Kane, Arsenal & German midfielder Mesut Ozil, West Ham & France midfielder Dimitri Payet.

The 25-years old who joined the Foxes in January 2014 from Le Havre in France Ligue 2 is the only player in double figures for both goals and assists in the premier league having scored 17 goals and provided 11 assists this season for the table-topper.

The award was handed to him at the Grosvenor Hotel in London on Sunday, few hours after opening the scoring for his team in their 4-nil whitewash over Swansea City as Leicester restored their 8-points lead on the log.

He said "without my teammates I wouldn't get this award, and for my manager and the staff - without them I wouldn't receive this award and I wouldn't score."

"It's the team spirit, and I want to dedicate it to them."

"It's extra special because if the players vote for me it's because they've seen I've been great this year, so I'm happy."

Leicester next game is away to Manchester United on May 1st, as the Foxes continue their chase for their first-ever Premier League title.

Kobe; Respect to a Legend!

In the swansong of a stunning, glittering and inspirational career in the NBA that lasted 20 years with the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant scored an amazing 60 points in the 42 minutes he spent on court in his last game against the Utah Jazz right there at the home of the Lakers (Staple Centre). The legends of the game like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, and Shaquille O'Neal among others were right there at the court side to pay a glowing respect to a legend himself as he draws the curtain on a career on the game he loves.

The Black Mamba is a 5-times NBA Champion, 1-time NBA Most Valuable Player, 2-times NBA Finals MVP, 4-times NBA All-Star Game MVP and 18-times NBA All-Star player among others. He is also third on the log in the National Basketball Association (NBA) all-time regular season points scored with a total of 33,643 points scored, a figure better by only Naismith Hall of Famers Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone.

So many past and present players in the NBA and even in Hollywood join the whole world to celebrate him on the night. Top stars like Dirk Nowitzki, LeBron James, Steph Curry and several others also gave their thoughts on a career that was distinctly engraved with so many records like the second-highest point in an NBA game in history (his 81points against Toronto Raptors in January 2006 that is second only to Wilt Chamberlain's 100 points in 1962), most season with a single team(20 seasons with L.A Lakers), the all-time leading scorer in L.A Lakers history and so many other records that made him the legend that he has become.

Even as the gold and purple colour faithfuls won't forget the no-8 and no-24 jersey, the whole world of sports also will never take you off their hearts. So much RESPECT to you the BLACK MAMBA! Legend of the game.

Lionel Messi is Injured???

Barcelona lost out to Athletico Madrid on Wednesday night in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final stage for the second time in four years. Antoine Griezmann scored the two goals that gave the Rojiblancos the victory at Vicente Calderon, and with that win they qualified 3-2 on aggregate after losing 2-1 in the first leg at Camp Nou a week ago.

But reports emanating from Spain claims that Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi is carrying an injury, a report the club has denied on all fronts. Messi has gone 452 minutes without a goal - his longest drought since 2011 - thereby causing an uproar among his fans and Barcelona faithfuls. This personal drought in front of goals for La Pulga also coincide with the club poorest run in two years - 1 win and 3 losses in the last 5 matches - for the European and World Club Champion.

Whether Lionel Messi is truly injured is left for all to see as the 5-time Ballon d'or winner is still in search for his 500th career goal as a professional.
