When fans found out that LeBron James would be starring in a new Space Jam movie, there were a ton of split reactions. Many were excited about this new prospect, while others were upset that an iconic movie would be getting a reboot, for seemingly no good reason. Regardless, LeBron is an international superstar and the prospect of a new Space Jam movie is exciting, especially after what we’ve been through over the past year.

Well, this morning, the first official trailer for Space Jam: A New Legacy was finally unveiled. In the clip below, LeBron can be seen being sucked into the server verse, where he ends up becoming a cartoon version of himself alongside the Looney Tunes. That’s when he is challenged to a game of basketball against the Goon Squad.

There are some pretty great references in here, including LeBron trying to form a super team with the Iron Giant and Superman. Eventually, however, LeBron is forced to play with the regular cast of Looney Tunes characters. Lola Bunny does her best D-Wade impression at one point, and if you’re a basketball fan, you can’t help but crack a smile.

While LeBron haters might not be moved by the trailer, there is no denying this looks fun, and for now, it is set to release on July 16th of this year.

The hip-hop community rejoiced earlier this month when reports surfaced that Bobby Shmurda had been granted a conditional release from prison. The drill music pioneer was taken into state custody shortly after the success of his smash single “Hot N*gga” in 2014 before ever releasing a full body of work. Since then, rap fans all around have been desperate to hear new music from the talented lyricist. It looks like the 26-year-old rapper is ready to get his head back in the game really soon, though. 

Rocking an all pink sweatsuit with matching sneakers and his iconic “Shmurda” diamond-encrusted chain, Bobby teased a forthcoming musical release. “studio nite,” wrote the rapper over the photo on his Instagram story. He continued, “Dropping something this month watch yah head tops.” 

We previously reported that Bobby had been locked in with Lil Durk and Rowdy Rebel at the studio, so this could be a part of the release that Bobby has planned for later this month. His last release of course was his 2014 debut EP Shmurda She Wrote. 

The news also comes after previous reports citing qualms with his label as the reason why he has yet to release a customary first day out track. 

Are you looking forward to new Bobby music this month? Let us know down in the comments! 

Paul Pierce is one of those former basketball players who always seems to get clowned on a frequent basis. The reason behind this is the fact that he is always hating on LeBron James while talking himself up to be one of the best to ever play the game. It has led to a lot of hilarious slander on the internet, and despite all of it, Pierce just keeps on talking as if no criticism has been dished out.

This time around, people are talking about Pierce for a whole different reason, as on Friday night, he took to Instagram Live in what appeared to be an out of character showing. In the clip below, Pierce can be seen hanging out with some escorts who were twerking on him. Pierce was also smoking at times and there was plenty of debauchery to go around.

Throughout the IG Live, fans in the comments section reminded him that he is married and even has a kid. These comments did not phase Pierce who just continued on with the Livestream. Following the ordeal, fans took to Twitter, where some of the best memes were born. Most of them were about his employer ESPN, who is also owned by Disney. The commentary was great and it seems like Pierce might be in for a punishment.
