Every Saturday brings a mix of sports action, celebrity buzz and market moves, but some Saturdays feel extra big. We call those "Super Saturdays" because they pack more headlines than a regular weekend. Below you’ll find the top stories that made this Saturday stand out, from a Hall of Fame induction to a major football transfer.
First up, basketball legend Dwight Howard walked into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and delivered a speech that hit right at the heart. He thanked his parents, patched up old feuds and gave his kids a pep talk. The ceremony also introduced big names like Carmelo Anthony and Maya Moore, making the Class of 2025 one of the most star‑studded ever.
On the soccer front, Liverpool broke the British transfer record by snapping up Alexander Isak for £125 million on deadline day. The 25‑year‑old striker signed a six‑year deal and is expected to add serious firepower to Liverpool’s attack. At the same time, Liam Lawson kept his F1 dreams alive, moving from a short‑lived Red Bull stint to a solid points run with Racing Bulls. His performances in Monaco and Austria show he’s still fighting for a permanent seat on the grid.
For cricket fans, the first ODI in Harare saw Sri Lanka post 298/6, with Pathum Nissanka scoring 76. Zimbabwe’s captain Sean Williams led the hosts, but an injury to Craig Ervine kept them from mounting a full‑scale chase.
Not all the excitement came from sports. Hollywood turned heads when Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi teased a fresh “Wuthering Heights” trailer, complete with original tracks from Charli XCX. The gothic romance is set to hit theaters in early 2026, and the teaser already has fans buzzing.
In the tech world, Oracle’s chairman Larry Ellison shot up to the top of the world‑rich list with a $393 billion net worth after a 40 % surge in Oracle stock. The jump added a record $101 billion in one day, briefly pushing him ahead of Elon Musk.
Meanwhile, the music scene got a surprise when Fifth Harmony reunited on stage at a Jonas Brothers concert in Dallas. It was the first time the group performed together in seven years, and the crowd went wild.
On the consumer side, Tesco raised its meal‑deal price to £3.85 with a Clubcard. It’s still cheaper than rivals, but the bump shows how food pricing keeps shifting.
