Kim Kardashian’s agency accidentally revealed her swimsuit size while modeling her SKIMS Swim Summer 2024 collection

Kim Kardashian’s company SKIMS shared new images on Thursday from her SWIM summer 2024 line.

The best shot was of the ex-wife of Kanye West in a strappy snakeskin print two-piece bikini that made the most of her toned tummy and abs.

‘The boldest string bikini. Leave an imprint in our limited edition Snake Print, coming in new and signature SKIMS Swim styles,’ the caption read from the blockbuster brand. The next caption accidentally revealed what size the 5ft2in siren wears: turns out it is an XS.

‘@KimKardashian wears the SKIMS Swim Triangle Top and Dipped Tie Bottom, size XS, in Snake Print,’ the SKIMS caption explained. In the past, Kim has not talked much about her size or weight too much, though she is thought to be 116lbs with a 24in waistline.

The images were taken by British photographer Nick Knight.

 

LeBron James greeted with rousing ovation from Cavaliers fans while sitting courtside for Celtics game

It’s been six seasons since LeBron James last suited up for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cavs fans haven’t forgotten.

With his Los Angeles Lakers eliminated from the playoffs, James showed up courtside in Cleveland alongside his wife Savannah and agent Rich Paul for Monday’s Game 4 between the Cavaliers and Celtics. Boston won, 109-102.

During an early break in the action, the Cavaliers greeted James with a tribute on the video board. The Cavs’ public address announcer then introduced him as if he’d never left. Fans responded with a rousing ovation as if he was still a member of the team.

James soaked it all in and responded to the love by blowing kisses back to the crowd.

Where will James land this offseason?

So is there potential for a third stint for James in Cleveland? Monday’s love fest at Game 4 will fuel speculation as James approaches the offseason with an option to opt out of his Lakers contract. James maintains a home near his hometown in Akron and hadn’t attended a Cavaliers game since leaving the team for a second time in 2018.

Where James lands — whether it’s remaining with the Lakers or moving elsewhere — is one of the most anticipated decisions of the upcoming offseason. Cleveland fans would certainly welcome him back with open arms. As evidenced by their appearance in the second round of the playoffs, the Cavaliers have a competitive roster that James could elevate.

Adding to the offseason intrigue is the status of James’ son Bronny James, who’s at the NBA draft combine in Chicago and was medically cleared Monday to play in the NBA after experiencing cardiac arrest at USC last summer.

Bronny’s expected to remain in the draft, and would be targeted by teams hoping to lure James this offseason. Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka was watching him in Chicago Monday afternoon.

James, meanwhile, has remained mum about his plans other than statements shooting down media speculation and announcing that he hasn’t made a decision.

well as my representation about it then you guys will know. Until then 🤫. Love 👑

Until he makes that decision, fans across the league — including those in Los Angeles and Cleveland — will be left to wait and hope.

Longtime Chicago Bullѕ writer аnd “The Jordаn Ruleѕ” аuthor Sаm Smith uncovered а fаscinаting аspect of Mіchael Jordаn’s рersonality thаt ѕhedѕ lіght on the NBA ѕuperѕtar’ѕ іnner world. Hаving сovered the mаjority of the Bullѕ dynаsty іn the 90ѕ, Smіth reveаled thаt deѕpite hіs undenіable ѕucceѕѕ аnd fаme, Jordаn dіdn’t enjoy the іntense рressures thаt сame wіth іt. However, there were а few thіngs MJ loved аbout іt аs well.

Aссording to Smіth, Mіke undoubtedly іndulged іn hіgh-stakes gаmbling аnd ѕeemed to fіnd ѕolace іn the сompany of hіs рersonal ѕecurity, whіch аllowed hіm to eѕcape сonstant рublic ѕcrutiny.

“All thіs other ѕtuff develoрed beсause of how greаt а рlayer he wаs. Lіke he ѕaid, іf he wаs аverаging 2.0 рoints аnd 3.0 reboundѕ, nobody would be рaying muсh аttention,”  Smіth told Hoopshype in 2020.

 

“So, аll of thіs other ѕtuff аccumulаted, but аt the ѕame tіme, іt wаs two thіngs,”  he сontinued.  “One, I know he enjoyed the lіfestyle аnd the аbility to gаmble аt hіgh ѕtakeѕ, whіch wаs muсh eаsier to do when he hаd а lot of money. Two, he wаs аble to ѕeparate hіmself wіth ѕecurity аs the yeаrs went on. He bаsicаlly hung аround wіth hіs ѕecurity рeoрle аs you ѕaw when he wаs gаmbling wіth them. He dіdn’t reаlly mіngle wіth teаmmаtes аt аll. I remember ѕome of the Bullѕ рlayers durіng the ѕecond three-рeat tellіng me thаt they’d never tаlked to hіm other thаn on the bаsketbаll сourt when he wаs yellіng аt them. They’d never ѕeen hіm off the сourt.”

In аll fаirness to Smіth’s сomments, hooрs fаns wіtnessed Jordаn’s рenchant for gаmbling аnd рreference for mаintаining а сertain dіstance from рeoрle through hіs ѕecurity.

Bаsed on Smіth’s obѕervationѕ, Mіchael wаs often torn between hіs two сontrasting lіves. However, MJ couldn’t ѕay he dіdn’t tаke рleasure іn hіs ѕuperѕtar ѕtatuѕ.

“Look, he сouldn’t hаve dіslіked the lіfe thаt muсh ѕince he keрt сoming bаck!”  Smіth рointed out.

MJ loved сompeting аnd wіnnіng more

People still talk about Babe Ruth as the GOAT. Stories about Ruth on (and off) the field are legend.

The same will be true for Michael Jordan. He’s THAT level of GOAT.

Nobody else in the NBA has that status. Not LeBron. Maybe Wilt?

That’s what a GOAT is. pic.twitter.com/f4GYmY9grz

Bronny James expected to stay in 2024 NBA Draft after being medically cleared

Bronny James appears ready to join his father in the NBA.

Bronny, the eldest son of Lakers superstar LeBron James, is planning to stay in the 2024 NBA Draft after being medically cleared to play in the league, The Athletic reported Monday.

The 19-year-old received clearance from the NBA’s Fitness to Play Panel following his cardiac arrest due to a congenital heart defect last year, and is allowed to participate in the pre-draft combine this week, per ESPN.

The USC guard is scheduled to participate in five-on-five scrimmages starting Tuesday, according to NBADraft.net

Bronny’s future has been a major storyline entering this year’s draft since his future could be tied to his father’s.

James, 39, has said he hopes to play in the NBA with his son, and Bronny entering this year’s draft would potentially pave the way for that opportunity.

The team that drafts Bronny could, in theory, have the upper hand in landing James this summer. The four-time NBA MVP holds a $51.4 million team option with the Lakers for the upcoming season.

Los Angeles could draft Bronny in hopes it convinces James to stay around.

Bronny is projected as a second-round pick and mulltiple mock drafts have the Lakers using the 55th pick — a second-round selection — to draft the freshman, including The Ringer.

However, James’ agent, Rich Paul, recently downplayed how Bronny will affect his father’s plans.

“The idea of them playing together is not a priority. It’s not foremost, at least any longer, in LeBron James’ mind,” ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski said.

“Rich Paul’s goal here in the pre-draft process for Bronny James is to see if there’s the right developmental organization, a place that can take a young player like Bronny James … If he does go in the draft, he very likely would spend next year in the G League.

“That’s the priority for them as a family. What’s best for Bronny James? If it ends up them together, that would be great, but I don’t get a sense it’s playing much of any role in LeBron James’ decision on next season.”

If that’s the case, Bronny’s case is lacking for a freshman prospect.

Bronny averaged 4.8 points this past season.Jake Crandall / USA TODAY NETWORK
Bronny averaged just 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists while shooting 36.6 percent — 26.7 percent from 3 — for a bad USC team that did not qualify for the NCAA Tournament.

While acknowledging that Bronny even playing this season was a triumph in its own right, those statistics would not generate draft buzz for almost any other freshman.

Bronny declared for the draft in April while maintaining his collegiate eligibility.

Should Bronny decide before the May 29th deadline to return to college, he will transfer from USC, which lost the coach that recruited him in Andy Enfield.

 

 

 

 

 

On Sunday, Cardi B released behind-the-scenes pictures from the shooting of her Up music video.

The 28-year-old WAP hitmaker scribbled “Rolls Royce angel” while baring her curves in a plunging white leotard and chiffon wrap.

She recently said in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that she is frequently “surprised” by “nasty” reactions to her music, adding that it is primarily a lot of “Conservatives.” This is another bold visual to fit her caustic attitude.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ensemble included a large collection of diamond chokers and white fingerless gloves fastened to the wrap.

She was standing on a silver platform that had been altered in a film so that it appeared as though she was a pink Rolls ornament on the hood.

She flashed a diamond ankle bracelet linked to her toes and flexed an elaborate pair of acrylic claws, sparkling from head to toe.

She was seen waving and rocking slippers while being driven from the set on the back of a golf cart.

USC’s Bronny James, son of Lakers star LeBron James, invited to 2024 NBA Draft Combine

 

USC freshman Bronny James, the son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, was one of 78 players who were invited to participate in the NBA Draft Combine. This year’s combine takes place from May 12-19 at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis in Chicago.

Bronny James announced last month that he was entering the NBA Draft and the transfer portal. With the Lakers season coming to a close after a loss to the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Playoffs, the elder James provided an update on the pending decision his oldest son will have to make next month.

“I just want to get home to the family honestly,” James said. “… One of my boys is deciding if he’s going to enter the draft or go back to school. I got another kid [Bryce James] that’s playing AAU ball right now and my daughter [Zhuri James] is playing volleyball — and my wife [Savanah James] is doing so many great things, so it’s about family right now.”

The NBA announced today that 78 players have been invited to the 2024 NBA Draft Combine, which will take place from May 12-19 at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis in Chicago.

James will have until May 29 — the withdrawal deadline set by the NCAA — to decide to remain in the draft or return for his sophomore season. The NBA has a later withdrawal deadline (June 16) but the NCAA has its own set of rules that states the deadline is 10 days after the NBA Combine ends. The 2024 NBA Draft is June 26-27. 

The Athletic reported on Monday that the Lakers are “open to the prospect” of drafting Bronny. The Lakers will have the 17th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, which could be conveyed to the Pelicans as part of the Anthony Davis trade in 2019. Los Angeles holds its own second-round pick in this summer’s draft.

The former four-star recruit played in 25 games for the Trojans after making his college debut on Dec. 10 against Long Beach State less than five months after going into cardiac arrest during a summer workout at USC. James made six starts during the 2023-24 season and averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists.

“I’ve had a year with some ups and downs but all added to growth for me as a man, student and athlete,” James wrote on Instagram. “I’ve made the decision to enter the NBA Draft while maintaining my college eligibility, and will also be entering the NCAA transfer portal. Thank you to USC for an amazing freshman year, and as always thankful for my family, friends, doctors, athletic trainers and fans for their support.”

James missed USC’s overseas trip to Greece and Croatia for a three-game summer tour and was absent from the start of fall workouts because of the cardiac arrest incident. After his minute restriction was lifted in January, James showcased his potential as both a playmaker and defender in an expanded role.

James’ future came into question last month when rumors surfaced that the 19-year-old would enter the transfer portal and explore his college options.

“I don’t know where it came from,” LeBron James said after the Lakers beat the Raptors 128-111 in Toronto. “But at the end of the day, Bronny is his own man. He has some tough decisions to make. When he’s ready to make those decisions, he’ll let us all know. But as his family, we’re going to support whatever he does.”

Bronny James’ NBA Draft projection

James’ draft stock is considered a mystery. His overall stats weren’t great this season, but that won’t prevent a respective team from drafting him. The 2024 NBA Draft class is a mystery because it’s one of the weaker draft classes at the top in nearly a decade. That could ultimately benefit James and convince him to declare for the draft if a team wants to take a swing on a prospect with upside.

James has the tools to be a successful player at the next level. He’s a high-motor defender with a playmaking upside. James also has an incredible basketball IQ like his father. Something that James will have to improve on at the next level is his 3-point shooting. James connected on only 26.7% from distance on 2.4 attempts per night.

In the 2024 NBA Draft Prospect Rankings from CBS Sports, James isn’t currently ranked, and he wasn’t in any first-round mocks. James likely will drop to the second round, but he should get an opportunity at the next level no matter what — which could be on a regular contract or a two-way deal.

Entering the NBA Draft while maintaining college eligibility is common among college prospects who aren’t entirely sure about where they project in the draft process. In this case, Bronny projects as a potential second-round pick, so keeping his options open by entering the transfer portal will allow him to go through the draft process, work out for NBA teams, and get feedback before making a final decision.

James will need approval from NBA’s Fitness to Play Panel before he can become eligible to participate in team workouts, the draft combine in May or be selected in the draft due to the cardiac arrest, according to ESPN.

LeBron has a player option for the 2024-25 NBA season that he could hypothetically decline, which can create an easier path for the two to pair up next season. The Lakers own their second-round pick for the 2024 NBA Draft. The New Orleans Pelicans own the Lakers first-round pick and have the right to receive their 2025 first-round pick instead.

Portal possibilities

Days after his father shot down the rumors of him entering the transfer portal, USC poached Arkansas coach Eric Musselman to replace Andy Enfield, who left town to take the vacant job at SMU. Despite Musselman having ties to the James family, he still elected to enter the upcoming draft and the transfer portal.

The younger James played with Arkansas signee Isaiah Elohim at Sierra Canyon High School in Chatsworth, California. Musselman recruited Elohim to Arkansas before he left for the vacant job with the Trojans. However, James decided to enter the portal – the first step for a player who intends to transfer.

Early logical options to land James out of the transfer portal Ohio State, Duquesne, Oregon, UCLA, and SMU. Coming out of high school, James committed to USC over Oregon and Ohio State. Duquesne recently named Dru Joyce III — LeBron’s former high school teammate from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School — its next coach of the program.

Impact on USC

USC has already lost star wing Kobe Johnson via the transfer portal this offseason to crosstown rival UCLA. Collier entered the NBA Draft, and four-star guard Trent Perry recently de-committed from the school after the coaching change.

Musselman is an excellent high school and transfer portal recruiter. While he was at Arkansas, he helped land the No. 2 overall recruiting class behind Duke in the 2022 cycle. Musselman is known to use the transfer portal to attract talent, which will likely be the case as the Trojans transition to the Big Ten.

Most top high school talent in the 2024 recruiting class already signed their National Letter of Intent to their respective schools. Musselman’s best option to replace James, Collier, and Boogie Ellis in the backcourt is to convince Perry to stay.

On the grandest platform in sports, the Boston Celtics continue to prove why they are the most talented team in the NBA. The Boston Celtics defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 109-102 in Game 4 to clinch the road sweep in Ohio and establish a 3-1 lead.

Even though the team was missing standout guard Donovan Mitchell and center Jarett Allen, Boston still managed to absorb the most of Cleveland’s blows. Despite facing challenges from a gritty opponent, the Celtics were able to display their composure thanks to outstanding performances by their role players.

The Celtics have benefited greatly from the impactful star tandem of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. All across the roster, though, the club performed admirably. The impact that Al Horford has made, standing in for Kristaps Porzingis when he was injured, has gone unnoticed. Guard Jrue Holiday of the Celtics praised Horford’s contribution to the team in an interview with the media after the team’s victory.

“[Horford] is progressing well. I trust Al to shield me from Garland when he gets past me, and he has done so in every game. Al handles everything. When Mobley is on him, he is open for the three, and he has to make those shots, which he has been making fairly well. He is the anchor defensively. Al is a man built for the demands we place on him.” – Jrue Holiday

Although they don’t appear on the stat sheet, role players like Horford and Holiday have just as much of an influence as the Celtics’ top box score producers.

Horford has a net rating of +32 through the first four games of this series. Horford was incredible in the first-round series against the Miami Heat, finishing with a +50 net rating in all five games. He has recently had difficulty shooting the ball, going 4-16 in the last two games, missing his last ten three-point attempts. Still, his defensive impact deserves much recognition.

Horford’s Influence Exceeds the Box Score

Al Horford has been essential to the Celtics’ postseason success.It goes without saying that Horford is going through one of his worst offensive slumps to date. Having played both of his Celtics careers and as the standout player for the Atlanta Hawks, he is no stranger to performing in front of the biggest crowds. But Horford has taken up the defensive duties to the best of his abilities after making a surprise move into the starting lineup after Porzingis’ injury.

After the Celtics defeated the Cavaliers in Game 4, Horford advanced to 20th place all-time in the NBA Playoffs with 216 blocked shots. Darius Garland and other Cleveland ball handlers occasionally pursued Horford in the pick-and-roll. When he was in the middle of that action, he struggled on some possessions, but his presence in the paint gave the perimeter defenders confidence to play aggressive defense knowing they would still be covered if they were beat.

Holiday’s admiration for Horford says a lot about the team spirit here. One important thing that set Boston apart from other teams vying for the championship this season was that they made it a point to support one another instead of kicking a teammate when they’re down.

Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant showed his support for Michael Jordan after the NBA legend recently helped open another medical clinic for uninsured and underinsured residents in his home state of North Carolina.

The Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Medical Clinic is the third such clinic that Jordan and his mother, Deloris Jordan, have opened in North Carolina, and the newest clinic in Wilmington, North Carolina, was made possible by a $10 million donation from MJ:

In response to a video of Jordan giving a speech ahead of the opening of the clinic, KD praised both Jordan and his mother in the following post on X

The other two Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Medical Clinics are located in Charlotte, and the new Wilmington location ensures that aid can be provided to even more patients in need across the state.

Jordan is widely regarded as the greatest basketball of all time, having won six NBA championships, six NBA Finals MVP award and five NBA MVP awards during his illustrious career with the Chicago Bulls.

He was able to parlay his on-court success and superstardom into greatness off the court as well, becoming the first former NBA player to achieve billionaire status.

That allowed Jordan to become owner of the Charlotte Hornets for a time, and it also gave him the ability to help the less fortunate.

Like Jordan, Durant is poised to go down as the all-time greats and is undoubtedly a future Hall of Famer.

In 16 NBA seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets and Suns, KD is a 14-time All-Star, four-time scoring champion, two-time NBA champion, two-time NBA Finals MVP and one-time NBA MVP.

He continues to perform at a high level, as he averaged 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.0 assists this season in Phoenix.

Durant is also charitable in his own right, starting the Durant Family Foundation in 2013 to benefit at-risk youth, which is something he can continue to build upon long after his playing career is over, much like Jordan has.
