The Marathon Book Club is doing great work. It’s no secret that Nipsey Hussle was a well-read individual, frequently naming his favorite books in various interviews and weaving references to them throughout his lyrics.

The list, originally posted on Twitter, was ultimately shared thousands of times leading to...

Howard has been killing it this season. Dwight Howard was a risk when the Los Angeles Lakers signed him this summer. For a while now, Howard has been in decline and his first stint with the Lakers didn’t end very well. Regardless, the Lakers decided to give Howard a chance which is something he appreciated immensely. To show how serious he was about the Lakers, Howard requested a non-guaranteed contract. Of course, this meant that Howard had to prove his worth before getting his money. Today is the deadline to waive players making non-guaranteed money and according to Dave McMenamin...
Webbie has been watching select clips from Boosie’s Vlad TV interview. For the most part, Baton Rouge local hero Boosie Badazz has revealed himself to be an open book.

He will be the best player Dallas has ever had....
Never a dull moment with AB. Antonio Brown has been an active member on Twitter over these past few months which makes sense when you consider how he really has nothing else to do. It seems as though he has been getting himself embroiled in a tough of random beefs and now, he is in yet another one. This time around, AB is going after none other than Logan Paul. Late last night, Brown took to Twitter where he demanded that Paul “Square Up.” Paul has been known to get into the boxing ring so it’s not surprising that...
Baton Rouge rappers Boosie Badazz and Webbie used to make music together. They don't anymore. During Boosie's recent Vlad TV interview, he was asked about Webbie.
