CONFIRMED: Amen & Ausar Thompson say Jamaica is a legitimate option for their international future.
BREAKING: @HoustonRockets All-Defensive First Team star Amen Thompson & Ausar Thompson of the @DetroitPistons are open to represent 🇯🇲 in future FIBA competitions & possibly the Olympics. The twin brothers, whose father is Jamaican, have begun the citizenship process.
Sportsmax probably doesn’t get enough credit for keeping Caribbean fans passionate about sports. Without them, we’d probably be more news & entertainment focused.
Two-time 100m champion Tyquendo Tracey & reigning 200m champion Ashanti Moore have become the latest 🇯🇲 track & field stars to join bobsleigh. However, being a top sprinter doesn’t necessarily equate to success on the ice. More in my story: jamaicaobserver.com/2025/07/25/fas…
It’s a shame that people who played with Kobe are willing to spew this garbage.
Shaq says that if you switched Kobe with T-Mac on the Lakers, he still would’ve won three rings 😳 (🎥 @bigpodwithshaq / tapthe.link/BigPodS2Ep70)
Composed from the spot 👌 Richard King scores on his home debut 🇯🇲👑

BREAKING: Reggae Boyz forward Jalmaro Calvin set to join Scottish Premiership club St. Mirren from Cavalier FC. The 22 year old will join countryman Richard King who made the move in June. Calvin, who scored 21 goals in the JPL last season, is awaiting his work permit.
Happy to be part of this great feature 🙏🏾
The Jamaican men’s basketball team is building something special. Norman Powell has already committed, with Scottie Barnes, the Thompson twins and more potentially joining. Hear why @DannyBeegie is excited for the team and why you should be as well 👀 youtu.be/n5ODIjF30mM?si…
(This clip does not disprove what Kishane was saying, it actually kinda proves it)
How a dip saved the fastest man in the world
Not sure why people have an issue with this because he’s right. He also gave a very detailed answer in response to the question which further proves he’s right.
Shots fireddd 🔥🔥
Grateful for the opportunity !
🤝 Looking to emulate Calvin Bassey and Virgil Van Dijk’s success 🇯🇲 Being a beacon of light for Jamaica 🐼 St Mirren could be the place to realise his potential. More from my chat with @DannyBeegie about Richard King ⬇️ dailyrecord.co.uk/in-your-area/r…

🇯🇲 EXCL: “He’s very good on the ball, he can progress it very well and nine times out of 10, he tends to make the right decisions.” I caught up with @DannyBeegie of the @JamaicaObserver to get the inside track on St Mirren’s Richard King Full story ⤵️⤵️ dailyrecord.co.uk/in-your-area/r…
Late to the party so others have likely done this. What I will say is (hopefully) this could be the start of increased support & investment from the JAAA/government. If not, countries like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar & Bahrain will continue to lurk.
.@DannyBeegie would love to see you unpack what the JAAA and gov’t actually provide for Jamaican athletes. Are there structures in place for long-term wellbeing or is it vibes and medals? And how does Jamaica compare to countries with similar athletic dominance?
Richard King’s move to @saintmirrenfc is one of Jamaica’s most high profile transfers in recent history. Cavalier FC head coach Rudolph Speid believes it could beneficial for the country’s football long term. More in my story: jamaicaobserver.com/2025/06/18/sco…
Antonio, six months after a near fatal car crash, had more of an impact in less than 15 minutes than some players over 90. Crazy.
The wise words Usain Bolt 🇯🇲 left with Julien Alfred 🇱🇨 when they met… Champion to champion!!!
Amen and Ausar Thompson plan to represent Jamaica in future FIBA and Olympic competitions, per @DannyBeegie. So dope. 🇯🇲
