The Most Dangerous Crypto Launch in History
Clad in custom Tigershark-branded gear, the Roberts are not just climbing — they're launching a movement.

A New Frontier for Crypto: Where Action Meets Utility
Tigershark isn't just a token — it's an Action Economy. Whether it's big-wave surfing, free-running rooftops, or wingsuit dives through canyon walls, every feat drives the economy. Holding tokens gets users closer to the action: private events, behind-the-scenes missions, athlete drops, and access to the heartbeat of a movement that's rewriting the rules.
'We're betting it all on something rare in today's world: guts and grits.' added Douse.
Alain Robert's climb is the first of many high-profile missions. Tigershark is already in discussions with elite athletes across base jumping, wingsuiting, parkour and motocross to headline future feats.
With a roadmap that includes strategic sponsorships, branded merchandise, global events, and athlete-backed products, Tigershark is evolving into a full-fledged action-sports brand powered by crypto.

Tony Parker house details: Kai Cenat stream reveals $16.5M mansion complete with Nando's restaurant
The Spurs' dynasty didn't come with bells and whistles. Gregg Popovich valued players with simple off-the-court lives and a high work ethic who were willing to work as a team. Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker embodied those values, as did Kawhi Leonard when he joined the fray. Advertisement As it turns out, Parker isn't exactly living the simple life in his post-playing career. A live stream appearance with Kai Cenat revealed Parker is living the dream in a massive mansion, which includes his own restaurant. Cenat and other popular streamers are spending their "30 Days of Summer" marathon in Parker's house, creating an odd mashup throughout July. Here's what you need to know about Parker's house and where it's located. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp Where does Tony Parker live? Parker's mansion is located in Boerne, Texas, a San Antonio suburb just north of the city. In 2018, Parker actually personalized the address of the home, renaming it to 9 Rue Parker in a tribute to his jersey number. "Rue" translates to "street" in French. Advertisement The former Spurs guard has made a home in the San Antonio area despite hailing from France, and who can blame him with the mansion he has? The city has shown its love for Parker over the years, and he has shown plenty back to the community. As of 2020, the population of Boerne is just under 18,000. Here are the details on Parker's house and its amenities. MORE:Does Kai Cenat play basketball? Tony Parker house details Parker's house is loaded with amenities, to no surprise. The mansion features a private water park, including lazy rivers, and it has 10 bedrooms, eight bathrooms and four additional partial bathrooms. The property spans 53 acres. Advertisement The house includes a nearly 6,000-square foot gym, a tennis court, an outdoor volleyball court and, of course, a basketball court. All of that working out would make someone hungry. What wasn't well-known before Cenat started streaming in the house is that Parker has a 24-hour Nando's PERi-PERi chicken restaurant. The live stream showed a massive Nando's logo, bar seating and an employee behind the bar. The mansion also features a wine room that can fit up to 1,500 bottles. Here's what a prospective buyer wouldn't get: the "champion room," which features Parker's jerseys, trophies and NBA championship rings. Well, you would get the room — just don't expect Parker's prized possessions to come with it. Advertisement The exact value is the house isn't clear. Parker listed it for $16.5 million in 2024 but has since taken it off the market. It was also listed for $19.5 million in 2021. Whether the mansion would fetch $16.5 million at this point is unknown, but all of the amenities Parker has at his disposal wouldn't come cheap. MORE:Inside newest Spurs standout Dylan Harper's family tree What is Nando's restaurant? Nando's is a fast-food chicken chain that specializes in Portuguese-style peri-peri chicken. The chain started in South Africa and has more than 1,200 restaurants in operation across the world. Advertisement Nando's is fairly new to the United States. The first restaurant opened in Washington D.C. in 2008, and there are still only 46 locations in the U.S. — or 47, if you count Parker's private restaurant. With only four public Nando's restaurants in Texas, anyone looking for some PERi-PERi chicken might find that their closest location is actually right in the middle of a former NBA champion's mansion. MORE:Ranking the 16 biggest busts in NBA Draft history Tony Parker career earnings and net worth Parker made $165.8 million in NBA contracts over the course of an 18-year career that included four championships. His largest contract was signed in 2004, when he agreed to a six-year, $66 million extension with the Spurs. Parker ultimately spent 17 of his 18 seasons in San Antonio, so it's no surprise he's chosen to stay in the area long-term even after his playing career. Advertisement Parker's net worth is an estimated $85 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Some of that money went toward his Boerne mansion, which undoubtedly requires constant upkeep between the waterpark, gym and Nando's. MORE:Every Game 7 in NBA Finals history

Canaletto work owned by first UK PM sells for record
A painting of Venice by the Italian artist Canaletto which was once owned by the UK's first prime minister has been sold for a record fee. Venice, the Return of the Bucintoro on Ascension Day - painted around 1732 - was sold to an anonymous bidder for £27.5m (£31.9m with fees) at Christie's in London on Tuesday, setting a new auction record for the artist. The painting was hung on the walls of Number 10 Downing Street during Sir Robert Walpole's tenure from 1721 to 1742. Christie's global head of the Old Masters Department, Andrew Fletcher, said the artwork was "unquestionably the greatest work by the artist to have come to the market in a generation". "Seldom does a true masterpiece such as this - particularly by a painter as important as Canaletto - appear on the art market," he said. "This extraordinary painting of the grandest and most familiar view of Venice, by the city's most recognisable painter, dates to Canaletto's finest period and is as notable for its illustrious provenance as much as for its impeccable condition." The oil on canvas artwork was last sold at an auction in Paris in 1993, fetching what was then a record-breaking 66 million French francs (£7.5m). It formerly came with a partnering pendant, entitled Grand Canal from Palazzo Balbi to the Rialto, which was later sold at Sotheby's in London in 2005 for £18.6m - which was the previous record auction price for a Canaletto. The painting had been expected to sell for around £20m this time around, but exceeded expectations. Canaletto, real name Giovanni Antonio Canal, was born in Venice in 1697 and went on to become a favourite of British art collectors. It is not known how Sir Robert acquired his work but it is though that his son Edward helped to arrange the art deal after having spent time in Venice. The Feast of the Ascension of Christ was a key date in the Venetian calendar until the fall of the Venice Republic in 1797. It would see the Doge of Venice - the elected head of state - use his official galley, Bucintoro, to sail out and cast a ring into the water as a symbol of Venice's marriage to the sea.

New recruit Giroud feels ageing body can stand rigors of Ligue 1 with Lille
Veteran striker Olivier Giroud feels his ageing body can withstand the rigors of the French league and that he has plenty to offer his new club Lille. The 38-year-old Frenchman was presented to the media on Wednesday after ending a disappointing spell in Major League Soccer with Los Angeles FC. Advertisement 'I feel in good shape physically, don't worry,' Giroud said. 'I'm ready to take up the challenge. I feel good for my age and I want to play until my body says stop.' His contract with LAFC was set to expire at the end of this year, but the club and Giroud mutually agreed to part ways so he could leave on a free transfer and join Lille, which finished fifth in Ligue 1 last season. Giroud is France's all-time leading scorer with 57 goals and won the 2018 World Cup with Les Bleus. Although he was popular with fans at LAFC, he managed just five goals in 38 matches for the team. 'The style of play in the MLS didn't necessarily suit me,' he said. 'Coming back to France 13 years later is an opportunity and an incredible challenge for me.' Advertisement Giroud left the French league in 2012 after helping unheralded Montpellier beat Paris Saint-Germain to win the Ligue 1 title, scoring 21 goals in the competition that season, before joining English Premier League side Arsenal, where he won three FA Cup trophies. He then played for Chelsea and AC Milan, making a good impression with his knack for scoring crucial goals, his hold-up play and his unselfishness — all hallmarks of his game. With Chelsea, Giroud won the Europa League in 2019 and the Champions League in 2021 as well as the FA Cup, and he was also one of the key players when AC Milan won the Serie A title in 2022. Lille impressed at times in the Champions League last season, beating Real Madrid, but will play in the Europa League this season. Advertisement 'I need challenges, to challenge myself. that's what has driven my career forward," Giroud said. "This challenge speaks to me." Lille opens its Ligue 1 campaign at Brest in mid-August. ___ AP soccer:
