Shaq Has Hilarious Reaction To Lil Wayne Kicking Him Off His Lakers Mt. Rushmore: Watch

by

Shaq has hit up his comedic ways once again, reacting to Lil Wayne naming and then removing him from his Lakers Mount Rushmore. The video shows Wayne naming his Mount Rushmore as “Kareem, Magic, Kobe, Shaq,” before cutting to Shaq mugging the camera giddily. However, the video then cuts back to Wayne who corrects himself. “Sorry. Kobe, LeBron,” Wayne says before the video cuts back to Shaq, who is now crying. It’s a hilarious little skit, which was made even better by Shaq’s caption for the video. “Dam I was only up there a half a second. Whyyyyyyyyyy,” the Lakers legend wrote.

However, it’s not the only comedy that Shaq has been getting up to. Rick Ross had a very special gift for Shaq during a recent appearance on Inside The NBA. Ross gifted Shaq some new bling in the form of a sparkling new MMG chain and pendant. Shaq seemingly loved the gift, saying “I’m gonna kill it at the hookah bar in this,” in a truly classic Shaq response. Adding to the hilarity of the video is how small the larger-than-life Ross looks when standing next to Shaq.

Wayne Recalls Meeting LeBron For The First Time

It’s no wonder that Wayne replaced Shaq with LeBron. He recently recalled the first time he met the Lakers star. “I had a show in Ohio. Slim, Birdman’s older brother, called me he was like, ‘I got a player out there in Ohio. He want to come to your show. He gon’ be the one. I’m telling you Wayne, he’s a young Michael Jordan. When I got downstairs, that man was still downstairs in a suburban. He had like three or four homies with him. What I remember was his arm was in a cast and they was protecting that and protecting that as in being seen. That’s what told me oh he must be somebody. I’ll never forget he had the time of his life. He remember that night, I remember that night. It was an unforgettable time.”

Furthermore, earlier this year, Wayne noted that he now considered him above Michael Jordan in the GOAT debate. “I don’t know Bron personally. My answer for Bron is on the court. I know for a fact I loved Jordan for the way he always won. I got old enough to know how hard it is to f-cking 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. And not on one of those muthaf-ckin’ teams did he play role two. That right there is what tipped him over the Jordan scale for me.”

Deion Sanders Isn’t Leaving Colorado Anytime Soon, Manager Claims

by

The manager of Deion Sanders has told reporters that the Hall of Famer has no plans to leave his position at the University of Colorado anytime soon. “He’s staying. He’s staying. He’s staying,” Constance Schwartz-Morini told The Rich Eisen Show. There had been rumors that Sanders, who is in the first year of a five-year deal, could up and leave before too long. Potential destinations ranged from a more prominent Power 5 program to following his sons to the NFL. However, it appears that Boulder is where Coach Prime wants to be.

Sanders’ impact has been immediate, both on and off the field. The culture around the once-great Colorado program has completely changed. The school has sold out its home games for the first time in years. Celebrities ranging from Lil Wayne to DaBaby are in the crowd whenever the team plays at home. Furthermore, on the field, Sanders has 4 wins already in his first season. That’s as many wins as Colorado managed between November 2021 and the end of the 2022 season.

Sanders & Colorado Prepare For End-Of-Season Gauntlet

This weekend, Colorado return from their bye to face #25 UCLA. The Buffs are 5-13 all-time against the Bruins and last beat them in 2020. However, they have been outscored 89-37 in their last two meetings with the team. The Bruins are 5-2 this season, having dropped a pair of ranked games to Utah and Oregon State. Furthermore, the Bruins will be debuting throwback uniforms against the Buffs, with fits matching the team uniform between 1954 and 1970.

However, Sanders remains confident. “My expectations are lofty. So, you know darn well how the season is going with my expectations. It depends on your expectation. You can’t mix my expectation and your expectations because they don’t coincide. You know what mine are. I know where I feel like we should be record-wise and I know what we can accomplish,” he told reporters this week. After UCLA, the Buffs have matchups against #11 Oregon State, Arizona, Washington State, and #13 Utah.

Rick Ross Gifts Shaq An MMG Chain

Rick Ross had a very special gift for Shaq during a recent appearance on Inside The NBA. Ross gifted Shaq some new bling in the form of a sparkling new MMG chain and pendant. Shaq seemingly loved the gift, saying “I’m gonna kill it at the hookah bar in this,” in a truly classic Shaq response. Adding to the hilarity of the video is how small the larger-than-life Ross looks when standing next to Shaq.

The appearance on the show comes with a new collab between music and basketball legends. The pair just released their remix of Ross and Meek Mill’s “Shaq & Kobe”, which also features Damian Lillard. “The Very Biggest of them All @shaq, we been family, dat new #mmg piece just a small token for what you mean not only to myself but this entire Culture. Dat big brother WE never knew WE had,” Ross wrote on Instagram alongside a picture of him and Shaq.

Rick Ross Continues Trolling DJ Envy

Meanwhile, many took Ross’ team up with Shaq as yet another shot at DJ Envy. Ross has had it out for The Breakfast Club host for a while. However, Envy’s legal issues involving real estate fraud have only heightened Ross’ lines of attack. As reports came in that federal agents had raided the IHeartRadio studios, Ross couldn’t help but take some shots at Envy. “15 names on one piece of land, 14 n-ggas gonna take the stand,” Ross spat on Instagram. The bar is a direct reference to the charges that Envy has been connected with. Given the wide-ranging nature of the fraud, which centers on an undeveloped apartment complex, there is going to be no shortage of testimony at an eventual trial.

However, Ross isn’t the only person going in on Envy. Akademiks, never one to shy away from a sticky situation, questioned why anyone would trust Envy with financial matters. “How do you let DJ Envy affect your financial decisions? Half the time I’m listening to The Breakfast Club, these n-ggas even can’t read what’s on the f-ckin’ paper. No disrespect to none of those people up there. I really like them. But these n-ggas can barely read what’s on the f-ckin’ Rumor Report. You think I’m giving them a million dollars? F-ck no, man. You crazy as hell,” Ak said earlier this month.

LeBron James’ Family Trolls Him With Perfect Impressions: Watch

by

LeBron James’ family went all-in on the NBA star, showing off some impressive impressions of him during the shooting of a recent Beats commercial. Bronny’s was by far the most honed, getting down his father’s voice perfectly. Acting like he was at an interview, Bronny nailed his father’s slightly distant tone and ridiculous work-first mentality. Meanwhile, Bryce did a pretty great job of copying his father’s classic big stretch and loud yawn. However, it wasn’t just limited to his sons. His wife Savannah showed off her interpretation of LeBron’s on-court backpedaling. Meanwhile, Zhuri honed her take on her father’s on-court mannerisms.

The video comes as the James family starred in a commercial alongside Manchester City star Erling Haaland. The crux of the ad is the families of LeBron and Haaland leaving voicemails for the sports stars. Of particular note is what Savannah says in her message to her husband. “Tell them you’re not done until you play with your son. And then do that again,” Savannah said, implying almost another half-decade in the NBA for LeBron. That would be the case in order to play with Bronny (2024 Draft Class) and Bryce (2026 Draft Class).

LeBron Leads Comeback Victory

However, he may be 21 years into his NBA career but that doesn’t seem to be slowing LeBron down. LeBron blew past his 30-minute playing time guideline as he put on a masterclass to save the Lakers from a 0-2 start to the season. James played the entire fourth quarter against the Suns, when his minutes limit suggested he should only play about half the frame. In that time, LeBron scored 10 points, helping eliminate a 12-point Suns lead and pushing the Lakers to a 100-95 victory.

“He [head coach Darvin Ham] asked me if I could go the quarter, and I looked at the time and the score and what was going on in the game, and it was an easy answer for myself. I know how much work I’ve put in to be able to play quarters or whatever the case may be. And I understand that we definitely have a system put in place, but tonight called for me to go outside the box.”” LeBron said after the game. The veteran star, now two games into his 21st season, finished with 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists. Anthony Davis, who was roasted for his performance against Denver in the season opener, had a 30-point double-double against Phoenix.

GloRilla Has Adorable Reaction To Meeting Mike Tomlin: Watch

by

GloRilla recently got the chance to meet someone she’s been a fan of for years – Mike Tomlin. In a recently shared video, the rapper linked up with the longtime Steelers head coach, practically running down a corridor to give him a big hug. As they try to swap introductions, Glo cuts Tomlin off to eagerly say “Yes, I know who you are”. Just as quickly, Tomlin replied, “And I know who you are!” The video is just all kinds of heart-warming.

Despite being born and raised in Memphis, Glo apparently has big love for the coach who has led the Steelers since 2007. Tomlin is originally from Virginia but has an extensive coaching history. His coaching journey took him through VMI, Memphis, Arkansas State, and Cincinnati at the college level before he jumped to the NFL in 2001. After positional stints with Tampa Bay and Minnesota, Tomlin landed his first head coaching gig with the Steelers. Tomlin has won two Super Bowls – with the Buccs in 2003 and with the Steelers in 2009.

Blueface Continues Rams Beef After Steelers Loss And Strip Club Debacle

Tomlin most recently coached the Steelers to a 24-17 win over the Rams. However, that has been overshadowed by a beef between rapper Blueface and the wife of the Rams’ starting QB. Kelly Stafford voiced her displeasure over Blue turning a suite at SoFi Stadium into an impromptu strip club during last weekend’s game. In particular, Stafford was upset that her children were exposed to the footage. Furthermore, she argued that Blue’s antics violated the family-friendly nature of an NFL game.

Blue recently shot back on social media, calling Stafford a “Karen” and telling her that LA is his territory. “Somebody tell Mathew stafford wife I been in LA longer then her an Matt. I run this program yall just here to work an make a living when y’all retire an go back to yo nice life I’ll still be here in LA at the rams games I don’t care how you feel about it,” the rapper said as part of a series of tweets attacking Stafford.

Ahead of the start of the NBA season, Lil Wayne shared the story of the first time he met LeBron. “I had a show in Ohio.

20-plus years later and LeBron is still going as hard as he ever did. LeBron James blew past his 30-minute playing time guideline as he put on a masterclass to save the Lakers from a 0-2 start to the season.

Dillon Danis Calls Cap On Logan Paul’s Negative Drug Test

by

Dillon Danis has once again voiced his belief that Logan Paul used steroids ahead of their boxing match earlier this month. Furthermore, Danis called cap on Paul’s proof that his post-fight test came back clean. “The testing was a joke, literally. Piss test after fight, famously easy to beat. Old man in the room wasn’t even paying attention. You’re a juicehead, and you proved that with the way the testing was done,” Danis wrote on social media in response to a picture of Paul’s letter from VADA.

Drug testing became a large part of the lead-up to the Paul-Danis fight. After numerous claims by Danis that Paul was juicing, both parties agreed to a drug test before the fight. However, Danis claimed he was never tested and Paul’s test letter shows that he was tested the day after the fight. However, thanks to the negative test, there is no evidence other than Danis’ word, that Paul was using before the fight.

Dana White Weighs In On UFC Signing Danis

Meanwhile, Dana White recently weighed in on the possibility of the UFC signing Danis to a fight contract. “I don’t know. I haven’t even thought about that,” White admitted when asked. Danis has been adamant in recent weeks about getting a shot in the UFC following his fight with Logan Paul. He has gone as far as to call out Jon Jones and say the promotion can throw whoever they want at him as a debut.

However, Danis’ appeal to the promotion remains questionable. He is 2-0 in an MMA career with UFC rival Bellator. However, those fights both occurred in 2019 and Danis hasn’t competitively stepped into the Octagon since. Furthermore, his fight with Paul showed that he’s more bark than bite. Especially as the UFC grows, there isn’t as much room for guys who trash-talk seven ways to Sunday but can’t back it up in the ring. The one thing Danis does have going for him is that is a regular training partner of Conor McGregor, whose name holds a lot of weight within the promotion.

Blueface’s Beef With Kelly Stafford, Explained

Blue was responding to comments Kelly Stafford made on her podcast after the rapper turned his suite at SoFi Stadium into an impromptu strip club. After calling it “embarrassing” and “disappointing”, Stafford said it may affect the way that she takes in games going forward. “It makes me not want to take my kids to the game. Because I’m like, ‘What’s going to happen next?’ This is supposed to be a family experience, coming to a football game. There were children in the suites next to them. You know what I’m saying? I have four daughters who are looking at this. My nephews who are older have Instagram. They found it. And my daughters are sitting right next to them. Not OK.”

The incident went down at the Rams’ game against the Steelers this past weekend. Blueface took to social media to show off the impromptu strip club he had set up in one of the suites, making it rain on a row of women twerking in front of him. Furthermore, the rapper was reportedly removed from the stadium by security after the stunt began to go viral. However, as can be seen in his tweets, Blue denies that this was the case. Additionally, the Rams have not released a statement about the incident at the time of writing.

James Harden’s Absence From Sixers Opener Investigated By NBA

by

The Sixers’ decision to leave James Harden as a healthy scratch for the first two games of the NBA season will be investigated by the league. “We are looking into the facts around James Harden’s availability tonight to determine whether an approved reason exists for his lack of participation,” a league spokesperson told ESPN. New rules implemented for this season limit the number of games “star players” can miss. Furthermore, the rules stringently outline the reasons why a player of Harden’s caliber can miss games.

Harden returned to the Sixers practice facility earlier this week after a ten-day absence for a “personal matter”. Head coach Nick Nurse told reporters that Harden would miss the team’s two-game season-opening road trip against Milwaukee and Toronto so he could “ramp up” to being game-ready. However, things were then complicated by the fact that Harden attempted to board the team’s flight to Wisconsin. He was stopped by security at a private airfield and told he did not have authorization to board the flight.

Harden-less Sixers Fall To Milwaukee

However, the Sixers will be kicking themselves after their Harden-less opener in Milwaukee. Despite four players surpassing 20 points on the night, the team couldn’t overcome the 62 points put up by the Lillard-Giannis tandem. The game ended with a 118-117 win for the hosts. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 31 points while reigning MVP Joel Embiid had 24. Meanwhile, Tobias Harris added and Kelly Oubre Jr. put up 27 off the bench.

Many Sixers fans will argue that the Bucks escaped with the win. The Dame-Giannis tandem was really the only thing that Milwaukee had going for them on opening night. Only two other Bucks, Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis, reached double-digit points. However, the game showed the potency of what the newly formed partnership could achieve. Despite this, the Sixers will look to regroup and bounce back against Toronto. Harden is expected to make his season debut against the Blazers this weekend.

Damian Lillard & Giannis Antetokounmpo Begin Bucks Partnership With Win

by

Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo combined for 62 points as the Bucks opened their NBA campaign with a 118-117 win over Philadelphia. Giannis added 13 rebounds while Lillard added eight of his own. However, the Dame-Giannis tandem was really the only thing the Bucks had going for them on opening night. Only two other Bucks, Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis, reached double-digit points. However, the game showed the potency of what the newly formed partnership could achieve.

Meanwhile, the Sixers will be kicking themselves not to come away with a win. Four players surpassed 20 points, with Tyrese Maxey leading the team with 31. Reigning MVP Joel Embiid added 24, while Tobias Harris put up 20. The Sixers also got 27 from Kelly Oubre Jr., who played 32 minutes off the bench. However, the game was overshadowed by the absence of James Harden. Earlier in the day, it had been reported that Harden had tried to board the team flight to Milwaukee on Wednesday afternoon. It’s another kick in the teeth to team harmony, especially with the news that the Clippers will no longer pursue a trade for Harden.

Dame & Giannis Shine But Concerns Remain

There is a lot to say about the debut of the Dame-Giannis tandem. The pair put up 62 points. However, did the Bucks sell the farm for the sake of a new tractor? New head coach Adrian Griffin played a short bench despite struggles across the board beyond the superstar tandem. Khris Middleton had six points in 19 minutes as he rehabs from injury. Malik Beasley had 5 points and 4 defensive rebounds in 31 minutes.

Next up for Milwaukee is Atlanta, a playoff hopeful who dropped their season opener to Charlotte. Meanwhile, the Sixers are headed to Toronto to face the rebuilding Raptors. It will serve as a rematch for new head coach Nick Nurse, who was fired by Toronto during the offseason. Hopefully, they can find a win before they return to Philly for their home opener against Portland, and a reunion with the waiting Harden.
