With the Olympics underway, the United States Men’s Olympic Basketball Team is gearing up for what should be a very interesting tournament. After struggling at times in their exhibition games, fans are worried about whether or not this Kevin Durant-led team can go all the way and win the gold medal. The United States has the vast majority of the NBA talent in the tournament, and they are fully expected to deliver once they get to Tokyo.

In practice, the team has been keeping things light-hearted and as they build chemistry, they seem to have grown more comfortable with one another. Perhaps the best example of this came recently when Kevin Durant proceeded to call out Bam Adebayo on Twitter after he broke an unwritten basketball rule. In the clip below, you can see Adebayo steal Durant’s ball after KD drained a corner three. If you’ve played basketball, you know that you’re not supposed to take someone else’s ball.

“Dog seen me knock down the corner three and proceeds to work on his ball handling with the ball I green bean’d wit. Bro gotta learn some respect @Bam1of1,” Durant wrote. Adebayo wasn’t going to go down without a fight, however, as he clapped back on his own Twitter saying “Stop Lying @KDTrey5. You Saw @Dame_Lillard Take Your Rock. You Just Tried To Little Bro Me.”

Of course, the two stars were simply joking around with one another and we doubt either of them actually cares deeply about the topic. Both of these men are a major part of the United States’ starting lineup, and with the round-robin starting soon, it will be fun to see how these two develop as teammates.

As 31-year-old singer Sean Kingston plots his return to the top of the music industry, it seems he’s still able to profit off of his late 2000’s classics. Kingston channeled his 2007 smash hit “Beautiful Girls” this week at a hilarious police stop posted to Instagram. After the cops pulled him and his entourage over, and recognized the singer, playboy Kingston broke into song for the pair of police officers- securing himself an out from the ticket. 

“[They] pulled me over, but I’m gonna sing a little ‘Beautiful Girl’ song for his partner,” Kingston said before putting on a show for the cops that he was filming. The cops immediately started laughing and smiling– probably shocked that it was actually the singer. Kingston truly holds his fans dear in his heart, telling the officers: “I love you guys” before they walk away and wish his crew a nice day. Kingston clarified the encounter later on, posting a story about how he avoided a ticket with the impromptu performance. 

Fans and commentators filled the comment section of The Shade Room’s repost of the story, showing support and criticizing the performance. One user wrote: “It’s Giving American Idol Tryouts Wit Simon Cowell Vibes,” while another wrote “so you tellin me all i gota do is sing ? bet.” Others were quick to point out a change in the singer’s voice: “it’s not giving what it gave years ago” and “Give him the ticket bc that was horrible.”
