LeBron James is 36 years old and in his 18th season in the NBA. Despite this, he is still one of the best players in the league and is competing for a championship virtually every single season. This year, LeBron is looking to win his fifth title and his second with the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s going to be a long road to get there although it is clear that LeBron is motivated to keep winning and he is always in the gym grinding.

Recently, LeBron took to Instagram where he showed off his massive home gym which has every machine you would ever need. James’ wife Savannah could be seen working out in the background, while Bronny and Bryce were also getting some work in. LeBron noted that he likes to work out as a family, and believes it helps him accomplish a lot more.

“A family who train together, challenges each other, motivates each other, inspires each other, pushes each other, picks each other up, CAN CONQUER ANYTHING TOGETHER!” LeBron wrote.

While LeBron looks to get back to work with the Lakers, Bronny is coming back from an injury, all while Bryce continues to make waves in youth basketball. LeBron has instilled a great work ethic with all of his kids and it seems to be paying off. Hopefully, we continue to see more from them in the future.

On Thursday, President Joe Biden made a major address to the country regarding his COVID-19 response plan. This address came exactly one year after the coronavirus pandemic was announced in the United States, marking a truly harrowing year of more than 530,000 deaths from the virus.

During the address, Biden noted that he would be using the assistance of active duty troops to distribute vaccines and that he planned to increase vaccine shipments to community health centers and major pharmacies. Perhaps most important, however, was Biden’s announcement of a strategy to make all adults eligible for the vaccine by May 1st.

According to a statement from The White House, “Today, in the next phase of our vaccination effort, the President will announce that he will direct states, Tribes, and territories to make all adults eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine no later than May 1st. According to The White House COVID-19 Response Team, prioritized vaccination efforts will be far enough along by the beginning of May that all eligibility restrictions should be lifted.

This is big news for those anxious to get the vaccine, especially as eligibility has varied by jurisdiction thus far. While this ambitious plan does not mean all adults will be vaccinated by May, it certainly means that the vaccination process will be much faster. President Biden also pointed to the Fourth of July as a target date for when we can resume small gatherings safely with friends and family.

Ever since its initial release all the way back in 1985, the Air Jordan 1 has been given a plethora of dope new colorways. However, it is the OG offerings that still stick in the minds of fans, and every so often, Jordan Brand blesses sneakerheads with some retros. Over the past few years, Jumpman has dedicated its time to make unique changes to these classics, and from this movement, we have seen some dope new colorways. Among them, is the Air Jordan 1 “Shadow 2.0.”

This colorway has been teased quite a bit over the past year but thanks to @zsneakerheadz on Instagram, we have some detailed images to share. In the post below, you can see that the sneaker is built on a black leather base, while the overlays, back heel, and Nike swoosh are all grey. This is almost the complete reverse of the original “Shadow” model which is already one of the cleanest Jordan 1s out there. This new 2.0 version is just as great and is shaping up to be a solid addition to any sneaker closet.

For now, the release date has been pegged for May 15th of this year although this date has yet to be confirmed by the brand. With this in mind, keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates.

PJ Tucker has been a mainstay on the Houston Rockets for a long time now although he was mostly associated with the team’s glory years when Chris Paul and James Harden were on the roster. This season, the team has completely changed things up and Tucker has been vocal about how he isn’t content with his current situation. It’s been a foregone conclusion that Tucker would be traded although for some reason, it just hasn’t happened yet and Tucker is starting to get annoyed.

In fact, according to Rockets head coach Stephen Silas, Tucker held out of last night’s game against the Sacramento Kings, as he is frustrated with what’s going on. Silas understands that Tucker wants out, and he claims that the team is committed to finding a solution.

“We’re going to try to figure out something that works for him and works for us as far as him not being on the team anymore,” Silas said. “I was under the assumption that he was going to be playing tonight, and he didn’t play. That was disappointing, but there’s no secret that it’s been a rough year.”

With the trade deadline coming soon, there is hope for Tucker on the horizon and hopefully, for his sake, a contender will want to scoop him up. Tucker has plenty left to give, and he would be a huge depth addition as we head closer to the postseason.

Air Jordan 1 collaborations have been plentiful over the last few decades and every year, it seems like Jordan Brand comes through with something that tops everything that they have done in the past. Back in 2014, the Fragment Air Jordan 1 was considered to be one of the best colorways ever made. In 2019, Travis Scott’s backward Swoosh Air Jordan 1 was heralded by fans as yet another classic collaboration that will live on for years to come. Now, it would appear as though these two collabs are being merged together, and sneakerheads are very excited.

Yesterday, teasers were posted online but today, it looks like clearer images have hit the internet thanks to the Instagram account @spicychickenwings. As you can see, the shoe has a white leather base, while the toe box and back heel are blue. From there, we have a black backward Nike Swoosh on the sides, with Cactus Jack and Fragment branding found throughout.

While these shoes are simply a rumor at this point, it would appear as though a possible release could be coming as soon as the Fall of 2021. This is huge news although considering nothing is confirmed yet, be sure to keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates.
