Lamar Odom was a two-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers, so he knows what it takes to win a championship. Over the years, he has remained a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers and he has always been supportive of the team, especially throughout LeBron James’ tenure in the city. While things looked good for the Lakers at the start of the year, injuries caught up to them, and eventually, they were ousted in the first round by the Phoenix Suns.

While speaking to TMZ, Odom noted that it hurt to see the Lakers have a tough time, although he is optimistic about their future. He even spoke about the team’s upcoming offseason and what they need to do in order to get back to the Finals.

“I was hurt when I watched them. They gotta get another guy who can play right alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis,” Odom said. “I mean, [James and Davis] probably is enough but we need them healthy but just in case if they’re not healthy. I think once the Lakers put another piece with those two guys, then they’ll be alright because they have enough supporting cast right now but I just think they need one more strong piece.”

Many fans have been echoing Odom’s sentiments as there are numerous teams who are building some phenomenal rosters. The Brooklyn Nets are among those teams and if the Lakers need to compete, they need a third star that can carry the load when LeBron and AD are off.

After eleven years, Lloyd Banks returned with his brand new studio album The Course Of The Inevitable, released independently through Money By Any Means, INC. Largely keeping his rollout reserved to social media, counting down the days with spoken word trailers and tracklist reveals, it was evident that Banks was lining up a gift for the loyal fans. 

When The Course Of The Inevitable dropped on June 4th, 2021, it shared the same release date as Lil Baby and Lil Durk’s The Voice Of The Heroes. Heavy competition from two of hip-hop’s biggest artists in the game, who went on to lock down the number one album on the Billboard charts with an impressive 158K in album-equivalent units.

Yet Banks’ project went on to capture the attention of some of hip-hop’s biggest names and most respected legends, with J. Cole, Travis Scott, Busta Rhymes, Raekwon, Conway The Machine, and Benny The Butcher having come forward to show support. Now, Banks’ first-week sales figures have arrived, with reports indicating that the album moved 12K album-equivalent units. 

Given that the album was released independently, not to mention alongside a batch of Course Of The Inevitable merch, the numbers are actually rather solid for the Punchline King. Though his days at the charts may have faded — lest we forget that Banks used to be a commercial juggernaut in the early millennium, having debuted at number one with 433,00k albums sold in 2004. 

Be sure to show some support to Banks and keep those COTI numbers running, as the album is genuinely one of the year’s most engaging listens — be sure to check out our full review right here. 

Kyrie Irving has been lights out for the Brooklyn Nets so far this season and if the team wants any chance of winning the title, they need him in the lineup. Yesterday afternoon, the Nets went into Game 4 against the Bucks with a 2-1 lead in their best-of-seven series. The Nets had outplayed the Bucks throughout the series and it was expected that the Nets would go up 3-1 thanks to their firepower. In the end, this was not the case as Kyrie went down with an ankle injury, which allowed the Bucks to take advantage and tie the series.

After the game, it was reported that Kyrie had to walk with crutches while also wearing a walking boot. His x-rays tested negative although it’s clear that he is in quite a bit of pain, which does not bode well for Game 5 which is set to go down on Tuesday night in Brooklyn.

According to reporter Ian Begley, it is now being said that Kevin Durant will most likely be alone on Tuesday as James Harden still has ways to go before recovering from his hamstring injury. In just a matter of days, the Nets have gone from prohibitive favorites to underdogs, and unless they get their two other stars back, this series could very well get ugly.

Stay tuned to HNHH as we will continue to bring you updates regarding Kyrie’s condition.

Yesterday, we reported that Billie Eilish would be getting a brand new collaboration with Jordan Brand. This report came after a booklet surfaced online which hinted at a potential new shoe. This had many sneakerheads debating what could possibly come next as Eilish is known for her unorthodox fashion sense. There was a debate as to which silhouette would suit her best, although no one could come to a consensus on what she might have in store.

Well, thanks to @zsneakerheadz and pvasneakers, we now know that Eilish is working on an Air Jordan 1 KO, which can be found below. This sneaker is dressed in highlighter yellow and it even has Billie Eilish’s logo on the tongue, while her name appears on the insole. Billie has been known for wearing these colors in her outfits before, so it only makes sense that she would want to make a shoe that pays homage to that.

For now, there is no release timeline for these, so keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates. In the meantime, let us know what you think about this new collaboration, in the comments section below. We’re sure the responses will be quite polarizing.

We all know Drake has done tremendously well for himself, reaching the Forbes list as a shoo-in every single year. Fans have seen more than enough footage of the rapper’s private plane, which received a lot of press after he purchased it a couple of years ago. While he’s been flying private for much of his career at this point, the Toronto-based artist upped the ante and bought an entire plane for himself and his team, traveling via Air Drake whenever he’s headed to a new city. We’ve never gotten a great look at the interior of the aircraft– until now, we’ve seen lots of pictures and videos of the exterior design of the jet, as well as footage of Dan Bilzerian freaking out over how lavish it is, but one of Drake’s buddies recently changed that by giving us all an inside view of how Drake is gliding every time he flies.

As shared by Akademiks on his page, a member of Drake’s immediate circle posted a video tour of Air Drake recently, showing off the rapper’s digs in the sky. As expected, Drake’s plane is decorated nicer than most people’s homes. From shiny gold detailing on the walls to a decked-out theatre room when he’s trying to get some entertainment on his flight, the globally recognized superstar continues to show that he’s got different kinds of money.

In case you missed it, a photo of Drake’s $400,000 mattress recently resurfaced from last year, showing an even more intimate view of the rapper’s life. Check that out here.

What do you think about Air Drake? How much would you pay to fly on this jet? Check out the video below.
