LeBron wants the Lakers to be respected LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have been the subject of a lot of criticism this season. Despite boasting the best record in the Western Conference, there are various pundits out there who don’t think the Lakers can beat teams that are above .500. On the contrary, they actually have the most wins against above .500 teams in the entire league. Regardless, when the Lakers took on the Houston Rockets Saturday, without Anthony Davis, not many people were giving them a chance. In the end, the Lakers came out on top...
The trade deadline could get interesting. Derrick Rose has been playing quite well for the Detroit Pistons this season and teams have taken notice. In the offseason, some franchises weren’t sure if they wanted to take a risk on Rose and opted to leave him be in free agency. Now, some squads are regretting that decision and are hoping to snag Rose closer to the trade deadline. According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports, two of the teams that are particularly interesting in Rose are the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers. The Pistons are a few games...
Clearly a Dream Chaser ever since the Fisher-Price days. We’re sure no rapper in the game would want to be described as “adorable,” “innocent” or, worst of them all, “cute,” but we’re not sure there’s a better way to describe the latest photo that Meek Mill decided to share to his over 18 million Instagram followers. Meek was born on May 6, 1987, which means the photo seen above dates him roughly between the ages of four and six, especially with the classic school photo background that looks like either pre-K or Kindergarten. Either way, the GRAMMY-nominated emcee is the image of child-like perfection...
But it’s an old statue! And it’s not in Dallas! Social media thrives on lack of context. The less research people do and the more quickly they react, the more entertaining content there is to be consumed. Due to this dynamic, a tweet about Tupac Shakur statue was able to go viral today. Someone shared a photo of a statue that used to sit outside the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The photo was accompanied by the poorly-typed caption: “New Tupac statute in Dallas, what’s your thoughts.” People’s thoughts were not good. The statue was...
We’re ready! We’ve known for some time now that SZA and Justin Timberlake have been up to something when it comes to new music. “Before I was like, ‘What the f-ck am I doing in the studio with Justin Timberlake right now? This is crazy,'” she said. “But when I heard his music and we started singing together… It’s like, ‘Oh, we speak the same language. The same frequency.’ I understood where he was going before he could finish a run.” Emma McIntyre/Getty Images After confirming that new tunes will be dropping this year, it’s clear that if anyone is more excited than SZA’s many fans...
The 34-year age difference may have done it. Courtney Stodden married actor Doug Hutchison when she was just 16-years-old and he was 50-years-old. The couple separated and reconciled multiple times throughout their relationship but after over two years of being separated, the duo is officially divorced, PEOPLE reports. As per the publication, the splitting of their assets has been agreed upon which means once a judge signs off on everything they’ll legally be single come March. Jesse Grant/Getty Images Doug will get to keep their Italian Greyhound and 2001 Jeep Wrangler while Courtney gets all of their furniture and appliances. They...
“They crucified Martin Luther King for speaking about peace and social integration.” Brooklyn Nets All Star point guard Kyrie Irving has made it clear that he thinks the team needs to add another piece or two in order to compete with the league’s elite teams. Irving was criticized for telling reporters as much following last week’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, but he is certainly used to the backlash. During a lengthy interview with YES Network’s Michael Grady, Irving spoke candidly about how he views those who speak negatively about him, all while referencing the immense scrutiny faced by Martin Luther King....
We can’t wait to see what Weezy & N.O.R.E. talked about. Lil Wayne is always an interesting subject, whether he’s performing new unreleased music or promoting his new venture into the cannabis industry. That’s why it comes as pretty exciting news that Weezy will be the latest person to stop by N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s wildly popular Drink Champs podcast. Giving us orders to officially address Lil Wayne as “O.G. Wayne” from now on, the Drink Champs crew unveiled their special guest a little over an hour ago Instagram. Almost immediately, fans were begging for the DC team to drop the interview, or...
Two legends. Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan are two of the top five players to ever play basketball. Jordan is the undisputed best player ever while Bryant is maybe just a couple of players behind. Since Jordan didn’t play as many seasons as some of the other legends of the game, his scoring stats weren’t as high as some people would be led to believe. In the last few years, both LeBron James and Kobe Bryant have surpassed Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list. LeBron is just a few points away from passing Kobe and fans are excited...
First his ankles, then his tooth. It was a rough go for Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond in the nation’s capital today. In the final seconds of Detroit’s loss to the Washington Wizards, during which Drummond had already had his ankles snatched by Bradley Beal, the veteran center caught a Thomas Bryant elbow to the mouth, causing one of his teeth to fall out. Not fun! Despite falling victim to Beal’s ego-crushing stepback and Bryant’s bone-shattering elbow, Drummond still finished with 18 points and 16 boards, but, it wasn’t enough to propel Detroit to victory. As a result of Monday’s 106-100 loss, the...
