Month: June 2022

Adele, Rich Paul, and LeBron James all met up at Kevin Love’s wedding to Kate Bock at the New York Public Library on Saturday. In a photo shared by James on his Instagram page, the group can be seen all sporting black and white formal wear.

As for why Love and Bock went with the black-and-white dress code, the Cleveland Cavaliers star explained to People: “We wanted to do an old-school NYC, black and white, Gatsby-inspired ball. We thought it was chic, timeless and elegant.”

Other guests at the wedding included Mav Carter, Steve Nash, Darius Garland, James Jones, Richard Jefferson, JR Smith, Channing Frye, Russell Westbrook, Ronnie Fieg, Mario Carbone, Sean Feeney, Emily DiDonato, J.B. Bickerstaff Senior, Paul Rivera, and Missy Robbins.

Adele and Paul have been publicly dating since July 2021 when they attended a game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns. As for why they chose to make their public debut as a couple, Adele recently told Vogue that isn’t wasn’t an intentional decision.

“I didn’t mean to go public with it. I just wanted to go to the game. I just love being around him. I just love it,” she told the outlet, while adding that the topic did come up on the way to the game: “He was like, ‘What are people going to say?’ And I was like, ‘That you signed me. As an athlete. You’re my agent.’ And he was like, ‘Okay, cool.’”

Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors are currently in the midst of celebrating their fourth NBA title in eight years. Green has been a part of the Warriors’ core since the beginning and there is no doubt that he knows what it takes to be a winner. Throughout the postseason, he had his ups and downs but in the end, he performed at a high level when it mattered most.

During this postseason run, the Warriors ran into one team, in particular, that had them shaking their heads. That team was the Memphis Grizzlies, who spoke a whole bunch of trash despite not playing very well throughout the series. Even after the Warriors won the chip, players like Ja Morant continued to talk on social media, and they were humbled fairly quickly.

On an episode of Green’s latest podcast crossover with JJ Redick, Green hit the Grizzlies with a poignant reality check. Essentially, he said they are pretty oblivious and that next year, other teams will be gunning for them. Given their behavior, Green isn’t so sure the Grizzlies will be ready to answer the call.

“Now, talking shit to the team that won a championship after they beat you after they win a championship is an entirely different level of oblivion. It doesn’t get much more oblivious than that. And I think for them, you’re now going to be expected to do that. You’re now going to be expected to win these games. And it’s not as easy when teams are coming for you,” Green said. “And so I think now, they’re going to get their reality check. And it’s not that they will still be able to win. They may still be able to win, but they’re going to realize how much harder it is for them to win. And now because they’re talking the way they’re talking, they better lose that oblivion, because they better understand these moments now are huge.”

The Warriors and the Grizzlies are creating a nice little rivalry and it should be fun to watch next season. It is yet another reason why the Western Conference is so entertaining.

Denzel Curry is still riding high off of the release of his latest album, Melt My Eyez See Your Future. The rapper’s fifth studio album was met with immediate acclaim upon its release, and it currently stands as a strong AOTY contender. He’s currently on his accompanying tour for the album and today, he’s offered fans a tiny glimpse of what to expect with his NPR Tiny Desk performance. The artist delivered a special live rendition of records off of Melt My Eyez and previous projects for what may be considered one of the best Tiny Desk performances yet.

Accompanied by a 10-piece live band, Curry kicks off with “Melt Sessions #1,” before calling on DJ POSHtronaut to serve as his hypeman for the remainder of the set. Curry rocked his Florida pride loudly during the set. Before “Troubles,” the rapper gave a shout out to T-Pain, who appears on the original record. “We gotta do this one because we both from Florida, you know,” he told POSHtronaut. “We grew up listening to T-Pain so we gotta do this for T-Pain right here.”

Curry joins this July’s Tiny Desk series to celebrate Black Music Month with artists that “represent the past, present and future of Black music.”
