This project is a personalized sports dashboard web application designed to help users track their favorite teams, view live scores, and stay updated with the latest sports news. The application features a “My Teams” page where users can add, search, and manage their favorite teams across various leagues, such as the NBA, NFL, MLB, and more. It fetches live scores and game statuses for these teams and displays them in an interactive and visually appealing format.

The homepage provides a quick overview of the user’s favorite teams, showcasing scores and game details in a carousel format for easy navigation. Additionally, it highlights the latest sports news and featured stories, ensuring users stay informed about major events and updates.

The “News” page offers a comprehensive collection of sports articles, with a search functionality to filter news by keywords. Featured stories are prominently displayed with images and excerpts, while the rest of the news is organized in a grid layout.

The project is built using React, with a focus on responsive design and user-friendly interfaces. It integrates external APIs to fetch live data and uses local storage to persist user preferences.
