Netflix has premiered the official trailer for the fourth season of its smash hit series “Cobra Kai” which returns December 31st. Set to the music of Def Leppard’s “Rock of Ages.” From “Johnny’s Badass Mixtape 4.”

It’s the 51st annual all valley under 18 karate tournament!

Steph Curry is now just 10 made 3-pointers away from breaking Ray Allen’s career NBA record. 

When it happens, Curry will have hit the 2,974 mark in more than 500 fewer games, 500 fewer attempts and almost 20,000 fewer minutes that Allen required.

Oddly enough, Klay Thompson owns the Warriors record for most 3 pointers made in a game with 14.

Curry is averaging just under 19 3 point attempts per game this season. An all time high.

Fans of several long-snubbed artists are already making their voices heard regarding who should be enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year.

While the Hall won’t announce the 2022 nominees until January, an early tally of some 23,000 votes from visitors to the museum in Cleveland has Mötley Crüe and Iron Maiden leading the pack in first and second place, respectively, in terms of public opinion.

The informal poll doesn’t count towards induction but serves as a suggestion to the selection committee. The duo of iconic heavy metal acts are followed in the top 10 rankings by Pat Benatar, Blink-182, Dave Matthews Band, Dolly Parton, Weezer, Cher, Styx and Boston.
