In August 2025, Valour Inc., a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies listed on Nasdaq, launched the VALOUR PI (PI) SEK ETP on the Swedish Spotlight Stock Market. The product marks one of Pi Network’s most notable steps toward entering traditional finance.
Kim H. Wong, an EECS engineer and crypto analyst, said the launch connects Pi Network’s native token with regulated markets. He described it as an important moment for linking Pi’s mobile-based ecosystem to standard financial structures.
Making Pi Accessible to Regular Investors
Wong explained that the Valour PI ETP allows ordinary investors to gain exposure to Pi through their brokerage accounts. He added that this access could help improve market confidence and reduce the barrier between digital assets and regulated trading platforms.
The product trades under ISIN CH1108681540 and carries a 1.9% management fee.
Wong said this move could mark Pi’s formal entry into regulated markets. He noted that if the ETP draws meaningful investment, it could increase demand for $PI and bring greater price stability.
“If the ETP attracts sizeable investment, this could increase demand for $PI, in turn potentially supporting token value,” Wong wrote.
Pi’s Current Market Standing
Pi (PI) is trading at $0.2026, up 0.23% in the past 24 hours. Its daily trading volume stands at $18.94 million, up 38.64% from the previous day. Despite the rise, the token remains under mild bearish pressure in the broader market.
Analysts Expect Slow but Steady Growth
Some analysts continue to express long-term confidence in Pi. Dr. Altcoin, a well-known crypto researcher, said he expects Pi to follow a long-term recovery trend similar to Bitcoin’s early growth phase.
He added that upcoming developments, such as Protocol Upgrade Version 23, could support that shift.
FAQs
The Valour PI ETP is an investment product on the Swedish stock market that lets you invest in Pi Network’s token through a regular brokerage account, bridging crypto and traditional finance.
Some analysts project slow, steady growth for Pi, comparing its potential trajectory to Bitcoin’s early years, but as with any crypto asset, this involves significant risk.
Currently, there is no clarity on the launch of Pi coin on Binance.

A 67-year-old Fairfield Twp. woman was scammed out of $88,000 in a cryptocurrency scheme last December.
The Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and the Butler County Prosecutor’s Office jointly investigated the scam that was reported following the Dec. 4, 2024, theft.
The Fairfield Twp. woman who was victimized reported a prompt appeared on her computer screen suggesting the device was hacked. A number was provided on the prompt and that led her to “a Microsoft technician.”
That technician was a scammer, according to BCI and the county prosecutor’s office. The woman then talked to people who posed variously as representatives of her bank and the Social Security Administration.
Investigators say these bad actors persuaded the woman to buy a new laptop and grant them access to it. She was then instructed to withdraw money from her banking accounts — $88,000 in total — and deposit it into a cryptocurrency kiosk.
It was only after she had done as the scammers asked she realized she had been defrauded and called the Fairfield Twp. Police Department. BCI’s Electronic Financial Investigations unit was called in to assist.

Butler County Assistant Prosecutor Garrett Baker said bad actors lie to victims, often telling them their bank accounts had been misused and they could be arrested as a result.
“Then the fear kicks in and people start to panic, they’re told to transfer money out of their bank account,” he said. “If anybody says you need to use a crypto ATM (they’re) a scammer.”

In this case with the Fairfield Twp. woman, she bought a new laptop and they were able to transfer funds.
“This is a scam I’m starting to see with increase frequency,” he said, advising people to “never give people remote access to your computer, certainly not someone from Microsoft and a bank would never ask for that.”
Butler County Prosecutor Mike Gmoser said while scammers use technology to steal from the elderly population, “we can use that same technology and the long arm of the law to get those stolen funds back.”
BCI and the Butler County Prosecutor’s Office were able to trace the money and placed a freeze on additional transfers to the scammer.
With the help of search warrants and a court order, $36,000 was recovered and returned to the victim.
“Technology drives innovation, but sometimes cybercriminals are behind the wheel,” said Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. “While we can help after the fact, your best defense is to be skeptical anytime a stranger asks you to make a financial transaction.”

Education and prevention are the best weapons against cryptocurrency scams, according to the Ohio AG’s office.
Targets of fraud have typically been older adults who appear to be vulnerable or confused. They may be prompted to call a phone number, and then directed, as the Fairfield Twp. woman had, to withdraw a large amount of cash and deposit into a Bitcoin ATM.
There are various fake reasons used when targeting victims, including:
Consumers are encouraged to be skeptical if asked by unknown individuals to make financial transactions. Suspected scams should be reported to local law enforcement immediately.

The XRP Ledger data shows a 60% increase in daily activations, along with a notable increase in new XRP accounts, that has captured market attention this week. More than 5,000 new accounts were created on Oct. 21, the most in weeks, indicating a resurgence of user interest at a time when the larger XRP market has been having trouble stabilizing.
XRP is growing on-chain
Despite the fact that price action is still muted, trading at about $2.38 following several unsuccessful attempts to break through the resistance level of $2.70, this on-chain activity may indicate underlying accumulation or an impending network event. Historically, either as early adoption stages or as speculative build-ups, comparable spikes in user creation have come before significant price movements.XRPUSDT Chart by TradingView">
But the on-chain data presents a complex picture. The volume of payments between XRP accounts and the number of successful transactions have been steadily declining since early October, despite the increase in new users. The number of transactions has decreased from almost one million to less than one million per day, and the volume of payments has decreased from more than one billion XRP to about 500 million.
RSI pushing to weak momentum
Although new users are joining the network, this divergence implies that real on-chain utility is still low. The 50-, 100- and 200-day major moving averages are all serving as resistance above the current price levels, and XRP is still in a descending channel, when looking at the market structure. The Relative Strength Index, which is currently at 38, suggests that momentum is weak and that bearish pressure may continue to prevail unless XRP makes a strong break above $2.70.
If this spike in new accounts results in active usage in the near future, especially in terms of increased transaction volume or payment throughput, there will be a new wave of growth on the market. If so, it might be an indication of increased remittance or institutional activity, which could support a recovery. However, if the increase is only speculative, XRP may experience another decline to $2.20 or even lower.
The abrupt surge in new users has temporarily raised cautious optimism, but the market is still in a wait-and-see phase in the absence of a corresponding increase in activity or price.

XRP Price Analysis: Ripple Lags Market Rally but Volume Tells a Different Story  CoinDesk
source

XRP, the digital asset powering the XRP Ledger, continues to attract institutional attention due to expanding legal clarity and regulatory reforms. Since its launch in 2012, the token has enabled fast and low-cost cross-border transactions. Following years of legal uncertainty, 2025 has marked a turning point for Ripple and the broader XRP community.
Recent developments include favorable outcomes in Ripple’s long-running case with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Key charges were dismissed, easing long-standing regulatory concerns. Alongside this, the introduction of the GENIUS Act and progress on the CLARITY Act have strengthened the policy foundation for digital assets, especially stablecoins like Ripple’s RLUSD.
Speculation has intensified around the possibility of XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) gaining regulatory approval. Several applications are currently pending before the SEC, with expectations pointing to a decision in early autumn. Market analysts suggest that ETF approval could draw big liquidity from the open market, influencing trading volumes and pricing behavior.
The anticipation of ETF listings has already drawn cautious positioning from large investors, who appear to be preparing for possible price movement once institutional access broadens.
XRP’s corporate treasury scene has expanded, now encompassing 11 entities collectively holding over $2 billion in XRP reserves. These include Ripple-backed Evernorth, with $1 billion, Trident, with $500 million, and Webus International, with $300 million.
Other participants include VivoPower with $121 million and Wellgistics with $50 million. Hyperscale and Everything Blockchain (EBZT) each manage $10 million in holdings, while Japan-based Gumi controls about ¥2.5 billion, equivalent to roughly $17 million. Smaller corporate treasuries include Worksport with $5 million, BC Bud with $250,000, and Digital Comm with $225,000.
As of now, there are 11 XRP Treasury companies: 🚀🚀🚀
1.Evernorth — $1B (Ripple-backed; expected to deploy on Flare for yield)
2.Trident — $500M
3.Webus Int’l — $300M
4.VivoPower — $121M (will be staking in Flare for yield)
5.Wellgistics — $50M
6.Hyperscale — $10M
7.Everything…
— BD (@DiepSanh) October 22, 2025

Several of these firms, particularly Evernorth, VivoPower, and EBZT, plan to stake holdings on the Flare Network to generate yield.
With supportive legislation advancing and major ETF filings pending, XRP’s institutional positioning is expanding beyond payment use cases. The alignment of policy clarity, treasury adoption, and market anticipation underscores how 2025 may serve as a defining year for XRP’s financial integration.

First lady’s image exploited ‘to sell legitimacy to unsuspecting investors,’ new legal filing argues
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it’s investigating the financials of Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, ‘The A Word’, which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Two men behind a range of cryptocurrencies promoted by the likes of First Lady Melania Trump and Argentine President Javier Milei have been accused of engaging in fraud and exploiting “celebrity association and ‘borrowed fame’ to sell legitimacy to unsuspecting investors,” according to a new legal filing.
A federal class action lawsuit was first brought against Benjamin Chow and Hayden Davis, co-founders of the crypto exchange Meteora and the venture capital firm Kelsier Labs, respectively, in April this year, reports Wired.
The duo was initially accused of a multimillion-dollar scam involving a single memecoin, $M3M3, but an amended complaint from the same plaintiffs later expanded the allegations to include racketeering practices, accusing them of rigging the market to benefit $LIBRA, a coin promoted by Milei, which plummeted in value soon after launch.
The latest proposed version of the complaint, submitted to court on Tuesday, drags in the first lady, accusing Chow and Davis of pumping and dumping at least 15 crypto coins, one of which was $MELANIA.
Melania Trump posted a promotion for the coin on X on January 19 this year, the day before her husband Donald Trump’s second inauguration, in which she directed her followers to its website and wrote: “The Official Melania Meme is live! You can buy $MELANIA now.”
She is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit, which instead claims she was used as “window dressing for a crime engineered by Meteora and Kelsier.”
The Independent has contacted the White House for comment.
Chow and Davis had developed a “repeatable six-step ‘playbook’ for pump-and-dump fraud” by the time they came to launch $MELANIA in January, the plaintiffs claim in the proposed amendment.
They allege that Meteora was responsible for the technical infrastructure used in the creation of the coins, while Kelsier supplied the start-up capital and handled promotions. In the case of $MELANIA, the latter allegedly recruited a network of crypto influencers to promote the coin on social media for a fee.
The immediate response to its January launch was highly positive, with the coin’s value increasing 12-fold to a peak of $1.6 billion, although it has reportedly since lost 95 percent of its worth.
“Investors reasonably interpreted the use of Melania Trump’s name and likeness as evidence of legitimacy and due diligence – trusting that no one of her stature would knowingly associate with a fraudulent venture,” the latest version of the complaint contends.
But, in fact, crypto wallets controlled by Meteora and Kelsier had accumulated almost a third of the entire $MELANIA supply, the lawsuit states, meaning: “Insiders had already cornered the market before a single public buyer could act.”
Those wallets duly sold off their coins once their price began to climb, earning millions of dollars. This ultimately caused $MELANIA’s value to tumble, leaving any outsiders who had bought in facing considerable losses.
“The misuse of Melania Trump’s name magnified the harm,” the amended complaint concludes.
“It corrupted public trust and injected an element of political and cultural credibility into what was, in reality, a standard pump-and-dump.”

XRP’s short-term market structure reflects growing uncertainty as traders assess price compression near critical technical levels. The token trades close to $2.38, slightly down by 1.1%, after repeated attempts to break above the $2.50 zone. 
The price remains capped beneath major exponential moving averages and Fibonacci retracement levels, suggesting a cautious bias. Despite brief rebounds in recent sessions, momentum indicators reveal subdued conviction among both buyers and sellers.
The XRP/USD 4-hour chart shows that price action has been consolidating between $2.34 and $2.54 for several days. The 50-EMA, currently near $2.43, acts as immediate resistance, while the 100-EMA and 200-EMA at $2.45 and $2.67 respectively form stronger barriers above. 
Immediate support rests at the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level of $2.345. A breakdown below this level could trigger a decline toward $2.16 and possibly $1.94. Conversely, a move above $2.52, which aligns with the 0.618 Fib zone, may push prices toward $2.77 and the $3.10 swing high.

The broader structure indicates that XRP is recovering from a previous retracement between $3.10 and $1.58. Recent higher lows hint at potential accumulation, but buyers must reclaim the $2.52–$2.67 region to confirm any trend reversal. Until then, price action is expected to remain range-bound between $2.30 and $2.60.
Open interest in XRP futures has climbed significantly since early 2025, reflecting renewed trader engagement. After months of stagnation below $2 billion, open interest surged past $10 billion in April as prices neared $3.50. 
The most recent data shows open interest at $3.76 billion, with prices near $2.42. This indicates ongoing participation even amid declining prices. The strong correlation between rising open interest and price volatility highlights increased speculative positioning within the derivatives market.
Spot netflows continue to show dominant outflows through most of 2025. The latest data recorded a $10.16 million outflow on October 22, signaling consistent profit-taking. Although brief inflows occurred midyear, overall capital movement remains negative, implying reduced accumulation and muted upward pressure.

Documented.📝👇 https://t.co/fiz3ocUEAS pic.twitter.com/yCEqjh3QqV
The move underscores Ripple’s growing recognition as a key player bridging traditional finance and blockchain-based settlement systems.
Key levels remain clearly defined as XRP enters a consolidation phase around $2.38. The short-term bias remains neutral, with traders closely watching whether bulls can regain momentum above critical resistance zones.
The technical structure shows XRP consolidating inside a tightening range between $2.30 and $2.60, where volatility is likely to expand once a breakout occurs. Momentum indicators, including flattening EMAs and steady open interest, suggest indecision among traders.
XRP’s near-term direction depends on its ability to defend the $2.34–$2.30 support area. Sustained buying near this zone could trigger a relief rally toward $2.77 and $3.10. However, failure to hold above $2.30 may expose the price to a deeper pullback toward $2.16.

For now, XRP remains range-bound, with the $2.52 level serving as the pivotal line separating bullish breakout potential from extended consolidation. Strengthening inflows and Ripple’s growing regulatory presence could act as catalysts for the next major move.

As of October 22, 2025, XRP finds itself at a turning point. The token has recently hovered near the $3.00 mark, an important milestone for bulls aiming higher. At the same time, if momentum fades, the bears are watching a fall toward $1.58, which could mark a deeper slide. Traders and investors are glued to the charts because both sides have strong reasons to act now.
On the bullish side: recent partnerships, regulatory updates, and on-chain trends are fueling hope. On the bearish side: weak volume, broader market jitters, and unresolved legal questions could pull XRP down. In this article, we explore what’s driving the push and pull for XRP. 
Let’s break down key price levels, technical signals, and fundamental factors behind its next big move. Here’s the story of how XRP could either surge toward $3  or slip toward $1.58.
XRP climbed and then pulled back in the last few weeks. On October 22, 2025, XRP traded around $2.40 after a volatile run. Daily swings reached roughly the $2.2-$2.55 band in the days before October 22. Volume rose on big moves, but the market failed to hold sustained gains above $2.60. 
Bitcoin’s recent retreat and a firmer U.S. dollar added pressure across altcoins. Markets showed that XRP still moves with overall crypto sentiment, but on-chain events and large wallet flows have amplified short-term moves.
On the bullish side, the path to $3.00 depends on a clear break above near-term resistance at $2.50-$2.60. A sustained close above that zone would signal momentum. Indicators such as rising whale wallet counts and growing accumulation support the bull case. Some analytics showed record highs in whale addresses and notable accumulation around October 21-22, 2025. That pattern can fuel fast moves when buyers step in.
On the bearish side, failure at resistance could send XRP back to key support. The critical support level to watch is $1.58. A drop under $1.80 would risk accelerating selling. Low volume on rallies, larger sell deposits to exchanges, or broader market weakness could push the price lower. Recent whale deposits and heavy outflows at times have intensified dips, proving that large holders can swing prices quickly.
Regulatory clarity has been the biggest single driver lately. The SEC-Ripple conflict reached major turning points in 2025. Several legal moves and settlement reports changed investor sentiment earlier in the year. In March 2025, Reuters reported a settlement and reduced fine that shifted risk perceptions. That shift helped institutional interest and lifted buyer confidence. Legal headlines continue to alter risk appetite and dictate whether big funds enter or exit XRP positions.
Institutional adoption also matters. Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) product and new commercial deals boosted claims about real-world use cases. Media reports in October 2025 pointed to increased ODL volume and fresh partnerships. Payment rails that use XRP can cut costs and speed cross-border flows. Continued business wins would strengthen demand if adoption scales.
Underneath the headlines and narratives, it’s about the tech.

The @Ripple protocol, #XRP’s on-demand liquidity (ODL), ILP, #SHX, and complementary technologies that enabled instant, scalable, cross-border settlements.

Everything else is a bubble.https://t.co/jpoNhwJW3o pic.twitter.com/3MXf8a6LFG
Technical upgrades to the XRP Ledger are another major force. Developers and the XRPL community proposed and activated amendments in 2025. Several amendments aim to improve privacy, security, and developer tooling. Headlines about five notable XRPL upgrades surfaced in mid-October, which some commentators called a potential catalyst for ecosystem investment and new apps. Ongoing ledger improvements tend to attract developer interest and on-chain activity. Official amendment listings on XRPL.org track each change and status.
First resistance appears near $2.20-$2.60. This area is the first major hurdle before a run at $3.00. Acceptance above $2.60 would point to strength. Support exists at $1.80 and again at the critical $1.58 level. If $1.58 breaks, expect a test of lower anchors around $1.20-$1.30. Watch volume spikes, whale transfers, and on-chain metrics such as wallet growth and exchange inflows. These signals often precede big directional moves.
Fear continues to dominate the market.

Each time we hit these extreme fear levels it was the ultimate buy signal. pic.twitter.com/VosjefTy94
Analysts remain split. Some highlight accumulation and ledger upgrades as reasons to be optimistic. Others point to macro headwinds and profit-taking as reasons for caution. Social sentiment swung between hope and fear in late October. Traders used on-chain dashboards and even AI stock research analysis tool outputs to refine risk levels and size positions. Mainstream outlets noted that regulatory clarity has already reduced a major risk premium but not eliminated it.
Bull case: If XRP clears $2.60 and keeps steady volume, the route to $3.00 becomes realistic. A confirmed push above $3.00 could target $3.50-$4.00 on momentum and renewed institutional flows. Continued XRPL upgrades and more ODL adoption would strengthen this path.
Bear case: If large holders sell into rallies or macro risk rises, the price could slip below $1.80. A decisive break under $1.58 would likely trigger deeper corrections to around $1.20-$1.30. Negative headlines or major exchange flows could speed this fall. Traders should treat those levels as high-risk triggers.
XRP sits at a clear crossroads on October 22, 2025. Technical pressure meets real-world adoption and fresh ledger upgrades. Bulls need a sustained move past $2.60 to chase $3.00. Bears need to break $1.58 to force a deeper decline. Monitor exchange flows, whale activity, XRPL amendments, and any new legal or corporate headlines. Those signals will determine whether buyers or sellers hold the next decisive edge.
As of October 22, 2025, XRP trades near $2.40. If buying pressure grows and market trends stay strong, it could test $3 soon.
On October 22, 2025, XRP’s key support sits near $1.80. If it drops below that, the next strong support is around $1.58.
The Ripple vs SEC case still shapes investor confidence in 2025. Any positive ruling helps prices, while legal delays or fines can slow XRP’s growth.

NBA
NBA 2025-26
Season Tip-Off
Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash and Blake Griffin are part of the NBA's new-look TV lineup. Phillip Faraone / Getty Images
They won’t outright publicly say it, but if you listen closely enough to the plans of the NBA newcomers — NBC/Peacock and Amazon Prime Video — you can tell that they hope to be the anti-“Inside The NBA.”
While the Charles Barkley-led show that is migrating from TNT to ESPN is iconic, there is a perception that the program’s analysts, led by Sir Diss-a-Lot Barkley, are haters.
Advertisement
What makes Barkley the best studio analyst of all-time is that he’s willing to say anything about anybody and will do it with humor. To be fair, both NBC and Amazon admire Barkley, to the point they looked into hiring him after TNT lost the rights to broadcast NBA games.
Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson have been a tremendous watch because of their shenanigans and disses more than their court analysis. But, just like ESPN, led by Stephen A. Smith from dawn to dusk, “Inside the NBA” has been a little more about the soap opera than the sport.
As they debut for the 2025-26 season as the NBA’s new, billion-dollar broadcast partners, NBC and Amazon hope to match the authenticity and impact of “Inside the NBA” while also celebrating the game.
Insults are out. Uplifting is in.
NBC and Amazon’s big on-air talent hires for their pre- and post-game shows — Blake Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade for Amazon, and Carmelo Anthony, Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter for NBC — are from a more recent generation than the 62-year-old Barkley or his cohorts, the 53-year-old O’Neal and the 60-year-old Smith.
Hearkening back to its previous era as a national NBA broadcaster from 1990-2002, NBC will also lean on nostalgia from its previous go-around with the NBA. The network signed Michael Jordan to do some cameos, including a pre-taped interview with Mike Tirico that will air at halftime of Oklahoma City versus Houston on opening night. NBC will also bring back John Tesh’s beloved “Roundball Rock” as its NBA theme music.
Amazon wants to be fresher, with Griffin likely to be positioned as its studio star next to host Taylor Rooks.

While the newcomers' pre- and post-game shows will need time to jell, the top game broadcast teams for both Amazon and NBC are almost guaranteed to be strong right from the first tip-off because of who will headline the on-air calls.
Advertisement
Amazon hired the best basketball play-by-player around as its No. 1 in Ian Eagle, who already has college hoops' highest honor as the voice of the Men's Final Four on CBS.
The booming voice of Kevin Harlan will transition over after decades on TNT, joining the on-the-rise Michael Grady to round out the top Amazon game callers.
NBC's play-by-play is also in good hands at the top, but it didn’t require any work. Tirico, the versatile face of NBC's sports division, could probably call a hopscotch competition skillfully and should easily return to the NBA, which he did in a previous life for ESPN. Their No. 2 voice, Noah Eagle, Ian's son, provided play-by-play on the Paris Olympics men’s basketball gold medal game last year and, at just 28, already elicits respect on the mic.
NBC and Amazon's game analysts include familiar voices, from Stan Van Gundy on Prime to Reggie Miller on NBC.

In terms of the schedule, in the modern digital jungle, the NBA did pretty well in maximizing its dollars ($76 billion over 11 seasons from ABC/ESPN, NBC/Peacock and Amazon Prime Video), while making it so fans need a maximum of just three subscription-based services to view its nationally televised games. The NBA Finals remain on broadcast TV with ABC.
For its part, the NBA picked up many more national TV broadcast windows than they had before: The seven-day-a-week regular season schedule of nationally televised games starts with Peacock exclusives on Mondays, then Tuesday double-headers offer a unique wrinkle to NBC’s coverage:
For the 8 p.m. ET game, viewers in the Eastern and Central time zones will watch on NBC. If you live in the Pacific or Mountain time zones, the game will be on Peacock. Then, for the 11 p.m. ET game, viewers in the East and Central time zones will need Peacock, while western viewers will watch on NBC.

The novel programming idea will make Peacock more of a must-have for hardcore fans while preserving a level of easy discovery for casuals. It marries broad distribution with digital dollars.
After the NFL season ends, the NBA will try to pick up on fan viewing habits around "Thursday Night Football" and "Sunday Night Football" with basketball versions for the NBA. Amazon will have "Thursday Night Basketball," while NBC will feature "Sunday Night Basketball." ESPN will have fewer regular-season games, going from 100 to 80 with its windows on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Amazon Prime will also have games on Fridays and Saturdays.

The seven-day-a-week plan is less complicated than it may initially seem, and, by next year, it will probably become rote for true NBA fans.
When the playoffs come along, the three entities will share most of the postseason games until the Finals. The playoffs will be split between ABC/ESPN, NBC/Peacock and Prime Video, with The Finals remaining every year on ABC, where analyst Tim Legler will replace Doris Burke in the No. 1 booth alongside Mike Breen and Richard Jefferson.
Recently, ESPN featured Legler in a well-received new segment in which he breaks down plays with NBA coaches. It was a notable turn from the soap opera coverage. Maybe the new TV era for NBA coverage will expand even further.

Uche Maduagwu, a Nollywood star, has voiced his concerns over fashion designer Veekee James’s constant social media posts about her husband, Femi Atere.
The fashion designer posted a video of herself looking after him while he slept and serving him food in their bedroom.
She frequently used the word demure to explain her behavior towards her husband, Femi Atere. This bothered Uche, who urged her to focus on posting about her husband’s work instead.
The actor stated that marriage is not an accomplishment and that Veekee should inform others about her husband’s business.
Many internet users were upset by Uche’s comments about someone else’s marriage. They also mentioned that he seemed hurt.
