Dwyane Wade’s Sexuality Questioned Following Nail Care Line Revelation

by

Dwyane Wade is easily the most legendary player in the history of the Miami Heat franchise. Although LeBron James played for the team once upon a time, Wade was with the franchise for three NBA titles. Moreover, he spent most of his career with the team and even had his jersey retired. However, despite all of his success, Wade has caught a lot of flack in his post-playing career. Much of it has to do with his fashion choices, as well as his family.

For instance, Wade has caught flack for his daughter Zaya Wade’s gender transition. Although plenty of people have praised Wade for accepting his daughter, others have been incredibly cruel. Meanwhile, Wade can’t even put on a pair of pants without some people trying to call him “zesty.” Well, that is exactly what happened last night as Wade’s interview with CBS Mornings began to go viral. In this interview, the NBA legend noted that he was someday thinking of starting a nail care line. You can just imagine what kind of comments soon followed.

Dwyane Wade Reveals Potential Plans

“And we was worried about Chris Bosh all them years,” one person wrote. “I swear everytime he’s just getting closer and closer to coming out,” said another. Others simply resorted to misgendering Zaya Wade and claiming that Zaya’s transition is some sort of indication of Dwyane’s preferences. It is all incredibly nasty stuff. However, D-Wade seems unbothered by all of it, which is most definitely admirable.

Drake Haunted By “Not Like Us” As USA Basketball Uses Kendrick Lamar’s Diss To Celebrate Win Over Canada

by

The last few months have not been particularly kind to Drake. Overall, you can probably guess why we would say that. His beef against Kendrick Lamar started off on even footing. However, once “Meet The Grahams” and “Not Like Us” dropped, it became spooky for the Canadian. Since that time, “Not Like Us” has proven to be one of the biggest songs in the world. It continues to get millions of streams every day, and even the music video proved to be a success.

Last night, the song continued to haunt Drake on a National level. Team USA Basketball was facing off against Team Canada in a Pre-Olympics exhibition game. Overall, it was dominated by the United States which makes sense when you consider their roster. After the game, “Not Like Us” could be heard being blasted over the PA system. USA Basketball members celebrated and danced along to the track, rubbing it in Team Canada’s face even more.

LeBron James Speaks On Bronny’s Mindset Amid Questionable 4-Point Debut

by

LeBron James and Bronny are going to be teammates when the NBA season begins in October. Overall, this is going to be one of the coolest moments in the history of the NBA. A father and son duo has never existed in the league before, until now. However, Bronny’s draft into the league has come with some criticism. Many say it’s all nepotism, especially since Bronny struggled in college. Moreover, there is this sense that the kid is being set up for failure.

His Summer League debut did not help those criticisms as Bronny finished with just four points on 2-9 shooting splits. It was a bad night for the young man that subsequently led to calls for him to be cut. In the midst of this, LeBron did an interview with ESPN where he had nothing but praise for his son. As you can see below, he spoke on Bronny’s mindset. As LeBron explains, the young star could not care less about what people, have to say about him. “Bronny plays. He works his tail off. When he goes home, he plays video games,” James stated.

“I actually cared a little bit when I came in,” LeBron said. “I wanted people to like me. Some of the things people were saying about me kind of bothered me early on in my career. I let it get to me. He does not care about nobody’s — he doesn’t even listen to that stuff. He’s like the complete opposite of his dad. His dad will say something. Bronny does not care.”

Let us know what you think of LeBron’s comments about his son, down below. Do you believe that Bronny deserved to be drafted into the NBA?

LeBron James Re-signs With The Los Angeles Lakers On 2-Year, $104 Million Deal: Report

by

LeBron James shook the foundation of the NBA six years ago when he left the Cleveland Cavaliers for a second time to join the Lakers. However, the face of the Los Angeles franchise did not really leave a lot of people wondering what he would do this offseason. Number 23 did decide to opt out of the final year of his two-year, $97.1 million extension he inked back in 2022. But the free agency “drama” did not last more than a week. The King is returning to the purple and gold on another two-year max contract, although this time it worth $104 million.

That deal was confirmed by Dime, as well as NBA insiders Shams Charania and Adrian Wojnarowski. In addition to the max money, James also as has a no-trade clause and a player option for the final year. Unfortunately, this negotiation further hampers the possibility of adding any other higher-level talent to the roster. However, it does not matter all that much as LeBron’s key targets –Klay Thompson, Jonas Valanciunas, James Harden– are no longer available.

LeBron James Will Be A Laker For At Least 2 More Years

Perhaps, the Lakers could go out and acquire Bulls guard/forward DeMar DeRozan. But in terms of a roster fit, his game is not really the ideal marriage. The Lakers need extra deep shooting, and DeRozan, while still an effective scorer, is not the guy you think of when it comes to being a three-ball specialist. There is still time for the front office to work some numbers, but as it stands, LeGM’s team remains nearly the same as last year. They were the eighth seed in the Western Conference and were bounced out of the playoffs again by the Nuggets, this time in five in the first round.

What are your thoughts on LeBron James resigning with the Los Angeles Lakers? Did they overpay or hit the nail on the head with the contract, why or why not? Do you see the team winning another championship in these next two seasons? If not, who should they go after to round out this roster? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding LeBron James, the NBA, and the Los Angeles Lakers. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Rick Ross Defends Bronny James From Nepotism Accusations

by

Rick Ross doesn’t think the criticism of LeBron James’ son, Bronny, is fair after fans suggested he’s only in the NBA because of nepotism. The veteran rapper voiced his opinion on the situation in a rant on social media, claiming that Bronny’s already a bigger star than most of the league.

“Y’all make me sick. Every two years y’all come up with a new word,” Ross began before listing several other terms including toxicity. “Now, it’s nepotism. Nepotism? 85% of all you motherf*ckers got a job by somebody you know and that ain’t even what I’m referring to. Bronny a bigger star than 95% of the motherf*ckers in the league man. This big business. Little Bronny will sell more Wingstop wings than anybody. 95% of the people that’s in the motherf*cking backup squad and all that sh*t. Y’all wanna say nepotism.”

Ross isn’t the first celebrity to defend Bronny after the Los Angeles Lakers selected him with the 55th pick in the NBA Draft, last week. Stephen A. Smith also said that he’s had enough of the criticism. “We live in a country where nepotism has taken place with white folks religiously forever,” Smith said on ESPN. “We’ve said little to nothing about it. In the NBA specifically, in a league where at least 70% of the players are Black, we’ve seen nepotism with white folks all over the place… and now this happens with LeBron James, a member of the Mount Rushmore of basketball, and all of a sudden you’ve got people running their mouths.”
