50 Cent Says Draymond Green Called Himself a ‘Big Stepper’ After Sabonis Incident

Ft Td8NaAAAnFjh

50 Cent was courtside for both Game 1 and 2 of the Golden State Warriors’ visits to Sacramento to take on the Kings. So she was present when Draymond Green stepped on the chest of forward Domantas Sabonis.

50 claims he asked Draymond what he did it for, and he got a big dog response.

“Said @money23green what the fvck you do that for?” 50 wrote. “He said 50 im a big stepper, i’m out here steppin on shit it’s the play offs. I was sitting there like oh shit!”

The Golden State Warriors must figure out how to claw back into their series with the Sacramento Kings without Draymond Green. The NBA has suspended Green for one game after stomping on the chest of Kings’ forward Domantas Sabonis.

The ruling contrasts the earlier belief that Green would receive a fine but not be suspended. The league office states, “The suspension was based in part on Green’s history of unsportsmanlike acts.”

In case you missed it, in the fourth quarter of Game 2, Green’s foot was grabbed by Sabonis once he fell to the floor. Once Green freed his foot, he stomped on Sabonis’s chest and headed back up the court.

Testing reveals Sabonis has a bruised sternum and will be questionable for Game 3.

Green offered an explanation, stating this was the second time his leg was grabbed during the series.

My leg got grabbed — the second time in two nights — and the referee is just watching. I got to land my foot somewhere, and I’m not the most flexible person, so it’s not stretching that far,” Green said. “I can only step so far with someone pulling my leg away.”

Game 3 will be in Chase Center on Thursday.

SOURCE SPORTS: Damar Hamlin Cleared, Plans to Comeback to NFL

Damar Hamlin’s Family Releases a Statement: ‘We Will Release Updates as Soon as We Have Them'

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has announced he plans to return to the football field. Speaking from Orchard Park, NY, on Tuesday, Hamlin has received the green light from three separate doctors to return to the NFL.

The announcement comes just over 3½ months after Hamlin’s near-fatal collapse in a Jan. 2 Monday Night Football game. Hamlin suffered from commotio cordis, “an extremely rare consequence of blunt force trauma to the heart that happens at exactly the wrong time in the heart rhythm, causing the heart to stop beating effectively.”

“My heart is still in the game. I love the game. It is something I want to prove to myself, not nobody else,” Hamlin said. “I just wanna show people that that fear is a choice that you can keep going in something without having the answers and without knowing what’s at the end of the tunnel. Or you might feel anxious, you might feel any type of way, but you just keep putting that right foot in front of the left one, and you keep going. I want to stand for that.”

On hand at the press conference showing and speaking to their support were Bills coach Sean McDermott and quarterback Josh Allen.

Tony Rock Looks for the Good in AI-Generated Music: ‘You Can Have the Biggie and Tupac Album’

Tony Rock Calls Cap to Will’s Attempt to Apologize

This AI thing is getting out of control, isn’t it? Over the weekend, an outpour of AI-generated singles hit the Internet. The most notable was a dupe Drake and The Weeknd single. But could there be some good in it? Tony Rock thinks so.

TMZ caught the comedian at the airport, and he believes it could give us more music from Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G. in the form of a joint album.

“I’m looking forward the collaborations we never got because of musicians’ untimely passing,” Rock said. “You can have the Biggie and Tupac album. Isn’t that something everybody would want to hear? A Biggie and Tupac collab.”

He added, “Musically, I would love to see Michael Jackson, featuring JAY-Z, featuring Tupac, featuring Ol’ Dirty Bastard.”

It may be a good idea. MAY. But good luck getting past the estates with that one. You can hear Tony Rock’s ideas below.

Benny the Butcher Thinks ‘Snowfall’ is Better Than ‘Power’: ‘I’m More Drawn Into Snowfall’

Benny The Butcher's Buffalo Home Catches Fire, Family Safe

We have one episode of Snowfall left in the epic series. Ahead of the final airing of season 6, Benny The Butcher gave his opinion on Instagram Live on the debate of which is a better show: Snowfall or Power. Without hesitation, Benny said Snowfall.

“Snowfall is better,” he said. “I’m saying Snowfall is better, but, they’re both great shows. I like to see Michael Rainey. I like watching his ascension. He’s fire. He’s getting better and better at his shit. But for some reason, I’m just more drawn into Snowfall.”

Snowfall is near its end, but that doesn’t mean the end of the Los Angeles world we have come to know and love.

According to Deadline, a spinoff series of Snowfall surrounding the current character Wanda, ported by Gail Bean, is in the early stages of development.

The story would follow the original story in Los Angeles, continuing on into the 1990s with the rise of the gangster rap era and rivalries of Bloods and Crips. The series would have Wanda as the connection between the two series and would spawn new main characters. Any carryovers from the current series are unknown.

The show would have Malcolm Spellman as the pilot pen and executive producer. Returning executive producers would be Snowfall co-creator and showrunner Dave Andron, Trevor Engelson, Michael London, and Tommy Schlamme. John Singleton would posthumously receive credit, along with Eric Amadio and Evan Silverberg.
