LeBron James Celebrates Bryce’s 16th Birthday

by

LeBron James is currently in his 20th offseason. Overall, it was a productive year for LeBron who made the Western Conference Finals. Now, however, it remains to be seen whether or not he can ever win another championship. The Lakers need to make big moves in the summer, and no one knows what they will do. Moreover, Bronny James Jr. could be in the NBA fairly soon, which means James is going to go where his son goes. Needless to say, this is about to get extremely interesting.

Although, one thing that LeBron is focusing on right now, is being a dad. Now that the season is over, he has a lot of time to spend with his three kids. In fact, when it comes to one of his children, Bryce, he just celebrated a 16th birthday party. The high school baller is considered to be one of the best future prospects out right now. While it may be too early for NBA talk, there are some who think he can go further than Bronny. Either way, LeBron is very proud of Bryce and his accomplishments.

Love the young man you are and becoming every single day!!” It was a great message that we’re sure Bryce is going to appreciate a lot.

Moving forward, we cannot wait to see what Bryce does in basketball. He is moving on to a new High Schoo this year. He used to be at Sierra Canyon, but now, he will attend Campbell Hall which is located in Studio City. Stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

YezJulz Clarifies Why She Addressed LeBron James Rumor

by

Recently, YesJulz took to social media where she issued a response to various rumors that have been perpetuated about her. Overall, there has been this notion that she slept with LeBron James while he was with the Miami Heat. Moreover, Joe Budden has also spread the rumor that she was in the car with Terrence J when he crashed a few years ago. However, YesJulz has since made it clear that none of these instances ever happened. She even said that she will pursue legal action if people continue to spread these lies.

Now, some fans are telling YesJulz that there was no need to speak out about these rumors. According to the influencer, people claim that they had never heard such a rumor and she is simply bringing it to people’s attention. That’s not how she sees it, however. “The receipts are in every comment section and every reply to any cute pic I’ve posted ever in the past decade lol,” she said. “People can easily find the truth with a quick search yet love to blatantly ignore it when they’ve already made their mind up about you.”

YesJulz Speaks Out

Subsequently, someone told her that by denying the rumor, she is simply giving people more ammo. This led to a lengthier response in which she revealed how the rumors have affected her career. “When the amount of money and opportunity a woman has access to is stifled by rumors there comes a point when she has to come out and say something,” YesJulz wrote. “I have a daughter now. I cant allow myself to continue being spoken about in that manner &I can’t miss opportunities that allow me to give her the life she deserves bc I was quiet when lies were told about me.”

Overall, this is a bad situation for all parties involved. LeBron James has had to deal with this rumor as well. Although, he has yet to speak out on it. It’s safe to say he probably never will. As for YesJulz, it’s clear that this has been a hard situation to navigate. Hopefully, her answers will finally get people to stop talking. Let us know your thoughts on all of this, down below.

Shaquille O’Neal Supports LeBron James Statue Outside Crypto.Com Arena

by

LeBron James has played for the LA Lakers since 2018. The 2022-23 season was his third with the team, meaning he has spent more time in LA than he did with the Miami Heat. However, LeBron, who turns 39 this year, has had a mixed tenure with the team. Outside of their 2020 NBA title during the pandemic-impacted season, the Lakers have been far from juggernauts in the Western Conference.

However, one of the many topics currently circulating within the Lakers fandom is whether LeBron deserves a statue outside Crypto.com Arena. The plaza in front of the Lakers’ home court contains a number of statues honoring Lakers legends such as Shaq, Magic Johnson, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. However, there is plenty of resistance to the idea of LeBron getting a statue there too. Despite this, there is a prominent voice very much in favor of seeing LeBron be immortalized there.

Shaq Supports LeBron Statue

Speaking to Brandon Robinson of Bally Sports, Shaq gave his take on a LeBron statue. “If they wanted to give him a statue, I’d be fine with that,” the Lakers legend began. “He did win a title with the Lakers and lot of people say that it doesn’t count. LeBron has broke the record [scoring record] and he broke the record as a Laker. He’s a great player, great ability and he did what he was supposed to do as a LAKER. But the thing about the Lakers is that Laker fans are real greedy, Okay you got us this bubble championship, but when are you going to give us another? It’s always that.”

As a Laker, LeBron is averaging 27.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 8 assists per game. Those are all career highs when looking at his per-team stats. Granted, he played much longer and at a much different point in his career for Cleveland but the point stands. As Shaq mentioned, LeBron won a championship and broke the all-time scoring record while wearing the gold and purple of LA. Even as his career inevitably winds down, LeBron still playing at an elite level. Depending on how the next few seasons pan out, LeBron could arguably retire as a Laker. But what do you think – does LeBron does a statue outside Crypto.com Arena? Let us know in the comments. Follow all the latest sports news here at HotNewHipHop.

LeBron James recently attended The 24 Hours of Le Mans, the iconic endurance race held in northwestern France. It was a historic race, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the first-ever running of the race. Furthermore, it was won by AF Corse’s Ferrari 499P. It marked the first time a Ferrari had won Le Mans since 1965 in the manufacturer’s first race entry since 1973. The team completed 342 laps of the track, finishing about 90 seconds ahead of the second-place Toyota Gazoo Racing team.

There were plenty of famous faces at the race, which always draws big crowds and is considered the crown jewel of the FIA World Endurance Championship. Tom Brady was also in attendance before he went off to party with MrBeast. But it’s a bizarre joke made by the NBA superstar that has gotten people confused online.

A post shared by Our Generation Music (@ourgenerationmusic)

LeBron shared an image from his trip, originally posted by ESPN to his Instagram story, adding the caption “LeFrench Montana James!” The clip in question showed him speaking French. The problem is that the joke just isn’t very good. Firstly, French Montana is Moroccan by birth, not French. Without getting into it too much, there’s a lot of messiness between France and the countries it once colonized so low-key yikes there. Secondly, the joke is just really bad. LeFrench Montana James? That’s the best you could come up with for speaking French in France? Sure, LeBron is known for his corny humor at times. However, this attempt just feels weird.

Le Bron James is right there. As in “LeBrans”/”LeBrons” to give you a half-rhyme with “Le Mans”. “LeFrench Montana James” just feels like someone awkwardly trying to optimize their SEO. People weren’t impressed in the comments of the reshared post either. “He thought we were gonna laugh lmaooooo,” said one commenter. Bronny probably telling Bron to delete that corny ahh joke 😭,” added another. What did you think of LeBron’s joke? Let us know in the comments.

Skip Bayless Makes The NBA Finals About LeBron James

by

Skip Bayless is someone who has consistently been known as a hater. Although he has been on TV for a very long time, he has never laid off his hating ways. Overall, this is something that has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. However, he has yet to actually change up. If you watch Bayless, you know his main target has always been LeBron James. He refuses to truly acknowledge LeBron’s greatness, even if it makes him look like a complete idiot.

That said, Skip Bayless was pretty critical of LeBron for getting swept by the Denver Nuggets. To be fair, the Nuggets were a fantastic team. They made it to the NBA Finals and ultimately beat the Miami Heat in five games. Overall, this is a series that could have very easily been a sweep. That said, with the Nuggets winning it all last night, Bayless took the opportunity to take some shots at LeBron James.

Skip Bayless Speaks

“REMEMBER: LeBron had four late chances to beat the Nuggets,” Skip Bayless began. “And in those 4th quarters, he shot 7 of 23 and 1 of 10 from 3 – and failed to hit the rim with two late shots in Game 4. LeBron’s Lakers got swept. The Lakers obviously would’ve beaten the Heat.” Skip loves to do this thing where he sets the expectation high but claims that this is exactly what should happen. That way, when LeBron doesn’t meet expectations, he can make fun of him for it. It’s a pretty obvious tactic, and he continues to do it.

However, Skip Bayless and his show Undisputed are about to undergo some big changes. Shannon Sharpe is officially leaving the show, although it remains to be seen when that will happen. Now that the NBA Finals are over, it could be as soon as the end of the week, or maybe even today. Let us know who you think should be his next co-host, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

There is a long-running rumor that YesJulz had an affair with LeBron James, originating somewhere around 2014 during the King’s time with the Miami HEAT. Hitting Instagram Live yesterday, Julz once again denied the rumor.

“I have never in my entire life been alone with LeBron James. Period,” YesJulz said. “There is nothing that ever went on there. Clearly, we were friends. I was working in Miami. I was one of the most popular party promoters and throwers in Miami. I started working with them through Maverick Carter, shoutout to Mav, and so I was around and they supported me.

“And obviously, do you think that somebody that’s married would tweet and take pictures with and be around and bring somebody that they’re doing something with around their family and wife?”

Julz added she date one of LeBron’s friends. You can hear it from her below.

LeBron James Reveals Why He Never Did The Dunk Contest

by

LeBron James has accomplished a lot throughout his career in the NBA. Overall, he is someone who really cannot be toppled. At the end of the day, he is one of the GOATs and should be top three on every single’s fan’s list. However, there are still a few things that LeBron was never able to accomplish. One of those things was winning an NBA Dunk Contest. Of course, he never won a dunk contest because he never actually participated in it. This has always come as a great disappoint to the fans.

As many of you should all know, LeBron is incredible at dunking the basketball. Consequently, one would assume that he could put on a show in this competition. However, he never did and it led to other superstars passing up the opportunity. While speaking to Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson of Bally Sports, LeBron James explained why he hasn’t ever been part of the dunk contest. Ultimately, it boils down to him never seeing it as that essential.

LeBron James Gives His Reasons

“I don’t think it was something I wanted to accomplish in my career; it’s not a goal of mine and it never was coming into the NBA to be a part of the Dunk Contest, you know?” LeBron James said. “Making the NBA All-Star Team was, being the league MVP, winning Defensive Player of the Year, winning NBA Championships…? THOSE were some goals of mine. The NBA Dunk Contest was NEVER a goal of mine so, it wasn’t something that I had too much passion for.” At the end of the day, LeBron’s answer makes sense, although some fans will still be disappointed by it.

At this point in his career, LeBron James can do as he pleases. Whether or not he would ever do the dunk contest in his final season, remains to be seen. Hopefully, we do get to see it. However, if we don’t, at least we will have plenty of other great memories of LeBron James. Let us know what you think of his comments, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

YesJulz Denies Sleeping With LeBron James, Being With Terrence J During Car Crash

by

YesJulz has recently cleared up some ongoing rumors on social media. Earlier today, she shut down claims that she was in the car with Terrence J during his 2018 car wreck. She also spoke on rumors that she has slept with NBA star LeBron James.

She discussed accusations that she was the mystery woman seen in the car with Terrence J during his alleged hit-and-run. “I’ve told my truth and the next time I see any media platform spreading a false narrative about me my lawyer is going to sue the f*ck out of you,” she wrote on Twitter, “Try me if you’d like, I’ve got the budget & motivation to fight back now.” YesJulz went on to call out Joe Budden, who she’s previously had beef with. “That goes for you too, Joe Buggin. I wasn’t the one in the car & I’m not letting that narrative continue without repercussions either.” She added, “Enough is enough.”

YesJulz Says Her And LeBron Were Just Friends

YesJulz also squashed rumors that she slept with LeBron James, claiming that the two of them were never romantically involved. “I have never in my entire life been alone with LeBron James,” she said, “Period.” She explains, “Clearly we were friends, I was working in Miami I was one of the most popular party goers and throwers in Miami.” The personality went on to describe working alongside James. She asks, “Do you think that somebody who’s married would Tweet and take pictures with and be around somebody that they’re […] doing something with?”

YesJulz later explains that that claims she slept with the pro baller don’t even make sense, because at the time, she was dating one of his friends. She revealed that her relationship with James’ friend ultimately didn’t work out, but they remain friends. The personality says she has the “utmost respect for Savannah [James],” and thinks that the married couple has a “beautiful family.” YesJulz is sick of “this stain” being put on her name.

Lil Wayne Personally Ranked The Basketball Greats Between Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, And Michael Jordan

by

Lil Wayne ranked some of the top basketball players of all-time during his appearance on Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson’s All The Smoke podcast.

His choice was between LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan, to which he responded, “Bron, Mike and Kobe.”

From there, he went on to explain his decision behind the ranking.

“Bron, I don’t know Bron personally so my answer for Bron would be from afar,” Lil Wayne said, noting that he appreciated his stats. “My answer for Bron is on the court. Bron, you gotta remember, I know for a fact I loved Jordan for the way he always won. As a kid, you don’t know too much about the ins and outs of the game.

“I got old enough to know how hard it is to f*cking do it back-to-back-to-back,” he added, according to HipHopDX. “So that’s where he got his respect with me to and started getting his respect with me to where he’s the greatest.”

He continued to point out that he respected LeBron’s swap between three different teams over the championships.

“That’s right there, that’s when regardless he ain’t got six, but he done it with three different teams,” Wayne noted. “And not on one of those m*thaf*ckin’ teams did he play role two. That right there is what tipped him over the Jordan scale for me.”

Check out Lil Wayne’s basketball chat above.

Lil Wayne Ranks LeBron James, Michael Jordan, And Kobe Bryant In Basketball GOAT Debate

by

There are three names that sit atop the list of basketball’s greatest players. Of course, you have six-time champion and five-time MVP Michael Jordan (1984-2003). Then there’s career Laker and five-time champion Kobe Bryant (1996-2016). Finally, you have LeBron James (2003-Present), the four-time champion and four-time MVP. Each player has their pros and cons in the GOAT debate but few, if any, players even come close to being comparable to them.

Meanwhile, alongside his prolific rap career, Lil Wayne is a massive basketball fan. Originally from New Orleans, Wayne is a proud and diehard Lakers fan. Elsewhere, he almost made his presence known during the Women’s NCAA Tournament this year. Wayne found time to link up with both Miami’s Cavinder Twins and LSU’s National Championship-winning squad. But who does Wayne believe is the true basketball GOAT?

Lil Wayne Ranks LeBron Over MJ

“Bron, I don’t know Bron personally so my answer for Bron would be from afar,” he began. “My answer for Bron is on the court. Bron, you gotta remember, I know for a fact I loved Jordan for the way he always won. As a kid, you don’t know too much about the ins and outs of the game. I got old enough to know how hard it is to fucking do it back-to-back-to-back. So that’s where he got his respect with me to and started getting his respect with me to where he’s the greatest. It’s very hard to do, and that n-gga Bron did that shit with three different teams That’s right there, that’s when regardless he ain’t got six, but he done it with three different teams. That right there is what tipped him over the Jordan scale for me.”

Wayne’s ranking on the All The Smoke podcast comes in stark contrast to where his mind at in 2012. “He’s inspired not only songs, but he’s inspired me in life in general just the way he attacks things, the way he never backs down, the way he fights through injury. I believe he’s the greatest player to touch a basketball.” Furthermore, Wayne was such a fan of Bryant that he named a 2009 track in honor of the career Laker. Kobe now drops from #1 to #3. However, what do you think? Is Wayne on the right track? Or is this an airball? Let us know in the comments. Follow all the latest sports news here at HotNewHipHop.
