Miami Heat v Houston Rockets

We all know Dwyane Wade is widely regarded as the greatest player in Miami Heat history. This is a fact and a non-argument. The South Beach legend will soon be honored with a statue outside the Kaseya Center.

Get this: The bronze statue, set to be unveiled at 5 p.m. on Sunday, October 27, will stand at the Kaseya Center West Plaza. Wade will attend the ceremony, joined by Pat Riley, Erik Spoelstra, and the current Heat team.

The event will also feature live performances from Rick Ross and Nino Breeze. Interesting choices.

What’s more, the statue, crafted by the Rotblatt Amrany Studio—renowned for iconic works like the ‘Michael Jordan Spirit’ statue in Chicago and the Kobe Bryant ‘Black Mamba’ statue in Los Angeles—recognizes Wade’s immense contributions to the Miami Heat. Wade led the franchise to three NBA Championships, and the organization never won a title without him.

Now check out LeBron James’s reaction to the news. Wade’s former teammate and friend reacted to the announcement by sharing the Heat’s video announcement on his Instagram story, accompanied by several raised-hand emojis, showing his excitement and support for the honor.

Newly Announced PlayStation 5 Pro Pricing is … Expensive!

Blame inflation. Nah, we’re joking; inflation is really low right now. But anyway, Sony officially unveiled the PlayStation 5 Pro, a powerful mid-generation upgrade with significant improvements over the current PS5. According to PlayStation system architect Mark Cerny, the PS5 Pro features a GPU with “67% more Compute Units” and “28% faster memory,” bringing it close to “doubling the power of the PS5” and making it the “most powerful console” Sony has ever released. However, this power comes with a hefty price tag of $700—excluding a disc drive and vertical stand, which are sold separately.

Seven Hundred cash. Sheesh.

Get this: The price has sparked widespread frustration among fans, with many citing concerns over the lack of standout titles, diminishing returns on technology, and the current state of the economy.

Some argue that, when adjusted for inflation, the price isn’t unusually high for a gaming console.

Guessing those people don’t eat ramen regularly.

Yet, this comparison doesn’t account for rising living costs and stagnant wages. As the article notes, “When housing alone costs double and what we’re earning is 75% less valuable, what we do with our money becomes even more precious.”

Moreover, while some gamers may feel the price is justified, others are questioning whether the PS5 Pro is worth the investment. Those interested can preorder the console ahead of its November 7 release.

Either way, the sticker price is not for the faint of heart.

During that search, any sort of recording equipment was confiscated, putting his Prison Tapes in immediate jeopardy. If you haven’t been following the Canadian rapper’s activity lately, he’s been recording new songs in real time behind prison walls. He’s been compiling them into a Free Tory Playlist for just over two months now. Then, a couple of days later, the rapper/singer penned a message revealing that the worst was true and that they are not going to be happening “until further notice”.

Even though his good deeds for both listeners and his fellow inmates alike are on hold, he’s still getting music out there. Yesterday and today, Tory Lanez added new songs to the playlist and those are “Look No Further” and “Time”. Both are Lost Tapes and are from 2016.

Eminem And 2 Chainz Embrace The ‘Kyrie & Luka’ Mindset On ‘The Death Of Slim Shady: Mourner Edition’ Track

by

In the words of Tsu Surf, rap is like basketball. Rick Ross and Meek Mill already claimed the “Shaq & Kobe” as the metaphoric comparison for their musical relationship.

Now, Eminem and 2 Chainz have staked ownership in another sports powerhouse pairing. Today (September 13), Eminem shared their latest collaboration “Kyrie & Luka,” which is featured on The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce): Expanded Mourner’s Edition.

Dallas Mavericks stars Kyrie Irving and Luka Dončić’s ability to bounce back from obstacles on the court serve as the track’s inspiration. 2 Chainz kicks the boastful track off rapping about just how far he’s come after being counted out earlier in his career. “School of hard knocks, I can f*ck around and teach you / License to kill, and I just got ‘еm renewed / Spokе to Def Jam and they talkin’ ’bout a renote / Spoke to Ghazi, and he can pay me in crypto,” rapper 2 Chainz.

Eminem takes the lyrical assist in another direction seemingly addressing the pushback from his previous line about Megan Thee Stallion.

“Hold up / Spit syllables on the mic in the booth / Like I’m at Drew’s, even if I win or lose / I’m in the news, even my interviews / Get like five million views, I get accused of misogyny because I will massage any bitch just like a masseuse,” he ended his verse.

Listen to Eminem’s latest song “Kyrie & Luka” featuring 2 Chainz above.

The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce): Expanded Mourner’s Edition is out now. Find more information here.
