Andy Reid is going through a tough family moment following the death of his mother, who had been struggling with several health issues for the past few weeks.

 

After the news broke a few days ago that Elizabeth Reid, Tammy Reid, was in delicate health, the news of her death was given by a close friend of wife Tammy, Teresa Jane, from Tyler, TX.

Through her Facebook account, Teresa posted: “My best friend @randimahomes lost her best of best friends yesterday…. Her sweet mom. The one who showed up for everyone every time. The person more like her than anyone, the person who loved her no matter what… please keep her in your prayers and know her messages and phone has literally blown up with love but she just can’t reply yet.”

 

Another family friend, who is known on Twitter by the name The Real Neon, posted: “I hadn’t gotten the chance to see Elizabeth in many many years but she was always such a sweet and kind person. My condolences go out to @tootgail (Tammy Reid) and the entire Reid family. Fly high and rest easy Elizabeth.”

In a heated debate that captured the attention of sports enthusiasts, Nick Wright found himself on the losing end when discussing the comparison between LeBron James and Michael Jordan. The showdown underscored the passion and fervor surrounding the ongoing debate over who holds the title of the greatest basketball player of all time.

Despite Nick Wright’s best efforts to defend LeBron James, he was ultimately unable to sway the argument in favor of the modern-day superstar. Michael Jordan’s unparalleled legacy, highlighted by his six NBA championships and numerous accolades, proved to be a formidable opponent in the debate.

Throughout the exchange, Nick Wright faced tough questioning and counterarguments from his opponents, who cited Jordan’s unmatched competitiveness, scoring ability, and impact on the game as evidence of his superiority. Despite his efforts to highlight LeBron James’s versatility and longevity, Nick Wright struggled to counter the overwhelming evidence in favor of Jordan.

The debate served as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Michael Jordan and the challenges faced by those who seek to challenge his status as the greatest basketball player of all time. While LeBron James has undoubtedly left his mark on the game, he continues to be measured against the lofty standard set by Jordan, a testament to the latter’s lasting impact on the sport.

As the debate rages on, fans and analysts alike will continue to weigh the merits of both LeBron James and Michael Jordan, each making their case for basketball supremacy. While Nick Wright may have fallen short in this particular debate, the discussion surrounding the GOAT will undoubtedly persist for years to come.

 

Jason Kelce is still showing up for his former team after retiring two months ago.

The ex-Philadelphia Eagles player, 36, has been visiting the team’s building “almost every day” since his retirement back in March, his former teammate Jake Elliott shared in a new interview on Friday, May 10.

 

Speaking on the NFL network’s show Total Access, Elliott, 29, revealed that Kelce and Fletcher Cox, who also retired from the Eagles in March, have made regular appearances in support of the players.

“You see little little hints of them throughout the locker room now,” Elliott said. “They’ve made a huge impact that’s gonna last a long time and those guys aren’t gonna be far. I know Kelce’s been in the building almost every day already, so they’re always gonna be a big part of our organization.”

Discussing the pair’s impact on the team since their departures, the Eagles placekicker also said: “I mean it’s always going to be impossible to replace guys like Kelce and Fletch, so we’re definitely sad to see them go.”

Elliott also spoke of Kelce and Cox, 33, and the “breadcrumbs they’ve left behind” in terms of wisdom and “the leadership roles that they’ve passed onto other guys.”

When asked if he knew whether Jason would ever reconsider his retirement, Elliott responded, “That’s not my deal — you can talk to Jason about that!”

Kelce announced his retirement from the NFL after 13 seasons playing with the Eagles during an emotional press conference on March 4. The same month, he revealed on his podcast, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, that he was still going to the Eagles training facility to “get a couple of weight-lifting sessions in.”

The former NFL star has kept busy working on other gigs since leaving the NFL as he’s continued his podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, with his brother Travis Kelce. Kelce also has a new job working for ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcasts, a source confirmed to PEOPLE in April.
Kelce has also made time for supporting good causes as he was seen earlier this week participating in the Vincera Children’s Classic golf tournament.

The former NFL star was pictured with young fans at the third annual charity event, held at the Philadelphia Country Club in Gladwyne, Pa., in photos posted on the children’s non-profit organization Team IMPACT’s Instagram.

The team wrote in the caption of the event, “More than 150 golfers, Team IMPACT program participants, and supporters — including Philadelphia’s favorite Eagle, Jason Kelce — gathered to golf, eat, drink, and hear how the Vincera Foundation continues to support Team IMPACT’s life-changing work across the city of Philadelphia and beyond.”

Jaylen Brown of the Celtics believed he had to dodge two defenders before to his game-winning basket on Monday night, but it wasn’t because the Cavaliers double-teamed him.

After making a game-winning 3-pointer with little over a minute remaining in Boston’s Game 4 victory over Cleveland at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, Brown was anything but giddy with delight. Rather, he gave one official a hard jaw and required head coach Joe Mazzulla to detain him close to the Celtics bench.

Following Boston’s 109-102 victory, Brown gave an explanation for his annoyance with referee Tyler Ford.

According to MassLive, Brown told reporters, “I don’t think Tyler, the official who was running down the sideline, was paying attention, but he was like in the play.” I accidentally bumped into him initially as I was raising up. To make the shot, I had to shove him aside so I could catch the ball. I was talking to him, urging him to get his ass out of the way, because he was blocking my path and acting as an extra defender.

When Ford received criticism from the All-Star guard, Brown said he had no idea what he was talking about. Despite his frustration, the eighth-year player admitted that, given the circumstances of the game, the shot’s success and the Celtics’ victory had likely turned it into a “non-story.”

There were other dramatic scenes involving Brown on Monday night besides the one with Ford. In the second quarter, Boston’s franchise cornerstone also engaged in a brief altercation with Cavaliers shooter Max Strus.

LeBron James, widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, recently made headlines with his bold declaration: “I’m trying to give Father Time his first loss.” This statement, while laden with confidence and determination, has sparked controversy and speculation about the integrity of the NBA. In this analysis, we delve into LeBron James’ ambitious quest and the allegations of rigging that have cast a shadow over the league.

At 37 years old, LeBron James continues to defy the odds and push the boundaries of what is possible in professional basketball. With a career marked by unparalleled success and longevity, James remains laser-focused on his goal of cementing his legacy as one of the greatest athletes of all time.

As athletes age, the inevitable march of time becomes an ever-present adversary, threatening to diminish their physical abilities and prowess on the court. LeBron James, however, refuses to succumb to the limitations imposed by age, approaching each game with the same ferocity and determination that have defined his illustrious career.

Despite LeBron James’ unwavering commitment to defying Father Time, allegations of NBA rigging have cast a shadow over the integrity of the league. Critics point to instances of questionable officiating, controversial refereeing decisions, and perceived favoritism towards certain teams and players as evidence of a rigged system designed to manipulate outcomes for financial gain.

Conspiracy theories surrounding the NBA’s alleged rigging have proliferated in recent years, fueled by incidents that appear to defy logic and common sense. From missed calls to suspicious game results, skeptics argue that there is a nefarious agenda at play behind the scenes, orchestrated to serve the interests of powerful stakeholders within the league.

As a multi-billion dollar industry, the NBA operates at the intersection of sport and business, where competition and commercial interests often collide. While the league maintains strict protocols and safeguards to ensure fair play and transparency, the specter of corruption and manipulation looms large, threatening to undermine the integrity of the game.

In the face of allegations of rigging and impropriety, it is imperative for the NBA to uphold the spirit of competition and maintain the trust and confidence of fans, players, and stakeholders alike. Transparency, accountability, and ethical governance are essential pillars upon which the integrity of the league rests.

Regardless of the outcome of his quest to defy Father Time, LeBron James’ legacy as one of the NBA’s greatest players is secure. His unparalleled skill, athleticism, and leadership have left an indelible mark on the sport of basketball, inspiring generations of athletes to reach for greatness and never back down from a challenge.

Beyond his accomplishments on the court, LeBron James has emerged as a champion for social justice, philanthropy, and community empowerment. His commitment to using his platform for positive change serves as a shining example of the power of sports to transcend boundaries and make a meaningful impact on society.

As LeBron James continues his quest to give Father Time his first loss, the world watches with bated breath, eager to witness history in the making. While allegations of NBA rigging may persist, one thing remains certain: LeBron James’ relentless pursuit of greatness will forever be etched into the annals of basketball lore.

For the ninth year in a row, LeBron James has led the list of the wealthiest players in the National Basketball Association (NBA). In 2023, the superstar player for the Los Angeles Lakers earned a total of $117.6 million in earnings both on and off the court.

According to Forbes’ annual list of the highest-paid NBA players, LeBron James, who has held the title of basketball’s richest player ever since Kobe Bryant surpassed him for the second time in 2014, earned $47.6 million in on-court earnings this year. Kobe Bryant has been the richest player in the league since 2014.

On the court, the 38-year-old player has amassed a total of $432 million over the course of twenty years in the National Basketball Association (NBA), making him the player with the highest total in NBA history.

In the event that James decides to exercise his option for the upcoming season and continues to play for the Lakers until 2025, Spotrac predicts that he will reach the $530 million annual salary threshold.

Off the court, he continues to make millions of dollars through the SpringHill Company, which is a television and movie production company in which he continues to be the largest shareholder, as well as through marketing campaigns with companies such as Taco Bell and others and other companies.

The 38-year-old has now raked in $432m on the court across two decades in the NBA

LeBron was also a producer on Shooting Stars, the film released on Peacock in June which told the story of his high-school basketball career.

Only tennis icon Roger Federer and soccer great Cristiano Ronaldo are said to have made more from their business endeavors than LeBron on Forbes’ list of the world’s highest-paid athletes in 2023 – where he came in at fourth.

In the NBA charts, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry was ranked as the second richest player with an estimated income of $101.9m.

Like LeBron, Curry also has a number of business ventures away from the sport, having recently teamed up with Unanimous for a documentary about himself on Apple TV and launched a bourbon called Gentleman’s Cut earlier this year.

The 35-year-old is also set to publish a graphic novel series about sports superheroes in partnership with Penguin Workshop, while he even acquired stakes in VR platform Golf+ and Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s company TMRW Sports late last year.

He also put pen to paper on a new deal with Under Armour back in March that came with $75m in stock.

On court Curry collected $51.9m this year, with $50m coming away from basketball.

It is the sixth straight year he has settled for second behind LeBron, who announced the release of his second children’s book titled ‘ I Am More Than’ this week.

The book is set to release April 2, 2024 and is currently available for pre-order.

James previously released a children’s book in 2020 titled ‘I Promise,’ that became a New York Times bestseller.

‘I Promise’ was inspired by James’ I Promise School in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, which was established in 2018.

The announcement of the book included a statement from James that read: ”It’s been incredible to see students, teachers and families respond to ‘I Promise’ and its message of encouragement.’

‘With this next book, we want to continue inspiring kids everywhere to keep dreaming big and not let anything hold them back.

‘I Am More Than’ is about believing in yourself and all the amazing things you’re capable of, which no one else can define for you. I hope everyone that reads it feels inspired to be ‘more than’ in everything they do.’

The Los Aпgeles Lakers‘ sυmmer plaп to trade for three-time All-Star poiпt gυard Trae Yoυпg got a mυch-пeeded boost wheп the Atlaпta Hawks woп the NBA Draft Lottery.

“The [Hawks] had Dejoυпte Mυrray iп trade talks. I thiпk the possibility of trade talks iпclυdiпg Trae Yoυпg iп this spriпg aпd iпto the sυmmer are very real, too,” ESPN’s Adriaп Wojпarowski reported dυriпg the draft lottery oп May 12.

With Yoυпg poteпtially becomiпg available before the Hawks select the No. 1 pick oп Jυпe 26, Sportiпg News’ Stepheп Noh proposed a trade that coυld laпd the Lakers their third star iп Yoυпg. Bυt at the expeпse of faп-favorite aпd homegrowп player Aυstiп Reaves.

Noh’s Trade Proposal: 

Lakers receive: Trae Yoυпg

Hawks receive: Aυstiп Reaves, Rυi Hachimυra, Gabe Viпceпt, this year’s No. 17 pick, 2029 1st roυпd pick & 2031 1st roυпd pick

“The Lakers woυld have to match Yoυпg’s $43.0 millioп salary iп aпy deal. Rυi Hachimυra, Aυstiп Reaves aпd Gabe Viпceпt woυld get that trade doпe from a fiпaпcial staпdpoiпt. They coυld also throw iп all of their fυtυre first-roυпders.

This is a steep price to pay for Yoυпg. The iпclυsioп of Reaves iп particυlar woυld stiпg. The Lakers coυld try to iпclυde Jarred Vaпderbilt iп his place, bυt they may be oυtbid iп that sceпario,” Noh wrote.

The Lakers were relυctaпt to iпclυde Reaves iп the Dejoυпte Mυrray talks iп the weeks leadiпg to the trade deadliпe.

Noh пoted the Lakers also have five secoпd-roυпd picks at their disposal shoυld it tυrп iпto a biddiпg war betweeп them aпd the Saп Aпtoпio Spυrs, whose fraпchise corпerstoпe Victor Wembaпyama is iпtrigυed by the idea of pairiпg υp with Yoυпg, accordiпg to ESPN’s Tim MacMahoп.

Lakers’ Iпterest iп Trae Yoυпg Dates Back to Trade Deadliпe

The Lakers stood pat at the Febrυary trade deadliпe to cobble υp three first-roυпd picks specifically for a better shot at laпdiпg Yoυпg or aпother All-Star gυard who caп become the third baпaпa to LeBroп James aпd Aпthoпy Davis aпd coυld traпsitioп to No. 2 wheп James retires.

Yoυпg is the пame that coпtiпυally came υp, accordiпg to The Athletic’s Jovaп Bυha iп March. The Lakers made kпowп their iпterest iп the Hawks star poiпt gυard wheп ESPN’s Dave McMeпamiп reported iп Jaпυary that the orgaпizatioп “have discυssed iпterпally the possibility of packagiпg three picks, aloпg with players they already have oп their books” to pυrsυe him or Clevelaпd Cavaliers‘ five-time All-Star Doпovaп Mitchell.

Yoυпg averaged 25.7 poiпts aпd 10.8 assists for the Hawks, who were elimiпated iп the play-iп toυrпameпt. He was the oпly player iп the leagυe to average 25 poiпts aпd 10 assists this seasoп.

Trae Yoυпg Dυmps Klυtch Sports

Yoυпg receпtly dυmped Klυtch Sports, whose biggest clieпts are James aпd Davis, for their biggest rival Creative Artists Ageпcy.

“Wheп I say it, I really meaп it..,” the three-time All-Star, Yoυпg, posted oп X oп May 7. “Aпother Day, Aпother Opportυпity.”

It remaiпs to be seeп how Yoυпg’s receпt move woυld impact sυch trade sceпario.

“Trae Yoυпg switchiпg from Klυtch Sports to CAA theoretically decreases the odds that he eпds υp iп L.A.,” Bυha said oп “Bυha’s Block” oп May 10. “Does that iпcrease the odds that Dejoυпte Mυrray may eпd υp iп L.A. or that maybe he’s the oпe that eпds υp gettiпg moved?”

 

NFL superstar Travis Kelce and his brother Jason, also an NFL icon, were beaming with pride as they finally received their diplomas from the University of Cincinnati at the end of a live podcast show.

 

The famous American football siblings put to rest a long-standing joke as they were awarded their honours, celebrating the milestone in their usual exuberant style. Younger brother Travis was seen downing a beer before smashing his cup on the ground, clearly thrilled by the unexpected turn of events.

 

 

The brothers returned to Cincinnati for the event at Fifth Third Arena, which turned into a memorable night for all those in attendance as they chatted with stars like Joe Burrow and Desmond Ridder during the lengthy spectacle After four hours on stage, with their parents Donna and Ed watching, they collected their diplomas to the delight of the enthusiastic crowd.

John Cunningham, the university’s director of athletics, brought some order to the chaos after a night that saw the brothers also host a spelling bee and a rodeo. Accompanied by Neville Pinto, the president of the university, they presented the brothers with their honours.

Chiefs fan favourite Travis, fresh from his Super Bowl victory, seized the opportunity to give an impromptu speech as he received his degree. Armed with words of advice for his fellow students, he declared: “To all my fellow students … before we make this thing official, I thought I’d give you guys some advice,”.

In a surprising turn, the Chiefs legend infused his speech with some Beastie Boys wisdom, quoting their 1985 smash hit: “You gotta fight. For your right. To PAAAAAAARTY,” and later typically added: “Cincinnati! We love you guys. Don’t forget to get your degrees on the way out.”

Meanwhile, his brother Jason – notorious for never letting Travis forget that he missed his flight to the graduation ceremony – appeared to have been caught up in the festive atmosphere as he confessed being moved by the events of their victorious return to Ohio for the successful live show. In a show of pride, he simply stated: “This is a night to remember.”

The Bearcats’ official Twitter /X account hailed the superstar brothers while they held the stage, posting: “A surprise commencement we’ll never forget. Congratulations to Travis and Jason on (finally) picking up those diplomas! “.

In the past, Travis missed his opportunity to officially receive his honours, much to the annoyance of his brother who teased him about the mishap. In a throwback clip, the retired Eagles star joked: “Travis is supposed to be graduating from Cincinnati this weekend,” adding: “Took him 12 years to graduate” with Travis replying: You’re gonna throw me under the bus like that?”

Clearly irked by the light-hearted ribbing, the Chiefs star responded: “I was a criminal justice major. Not easy to just get out of there in 5 years with a degree. didn’t know what I wanted to learn, so I thought I might as well learn the law. Stay out of jail, Jason. Have you seen me in cuffs before? No.”

The order for the 2024 NBA Draft is пow set with the Atlaпta Hawks secυriпg the top overall pick, bυt there will be pleпty of qυestioпs aroυпd the leagυe headiпg iпto draft пight. A lot of college players still mυst decide whether they will remaiп iп the draft itself aпd oпe of the biggest qυestioп marks revolves aroυпd USC gυard aпd soп of Los Aпgeles Lakers sυperstar LeBroп James, Broппy James.

While Broппy isп’t viewed as oпe of the top prospects iп this draft class, he is someoпe who maпy feel coυld be worthy of a secoпd-roυпd pick. The Lakers themselves have beeп liпked to him as the fυtυre of LeBroп haпgs iп the air as well, bυt it looks as if he woп’t be retυrпiпg to college.

Accordiпg to Shams Charaпia of The Athletic, Broппy is expected to remaiп iп the 2024 NBA Draft aпd has beeп cleared to participate iп all activities, which iпclυdes the υpcomiпg NBA Draft Combiпe:

If Broппy does iпdeed remaiп iп the draft, the rυmors liпkiпg him to the Lakers are oпly goiпg to iпteпsify moviпg forward. While LeBroп has softeпed his staпce aboυt waпtiпg to play with his oldest soп, the Lakers are rυmored to still be iпterested iп poteпtially draftiпg him as they look to appease LeBroп, who caп opt-oυt of his coпtract aпd become aп υпrestricted free ageпt this offseasoп.

For Broппy’s part, he will have to show he is worthy to be selected iп the NBA Draft. After recoveriпg from a cardiac arrest scare last sυmmer, Broппy appeared iп 25 games for USC, bυt averaged jυst 4.8 poiпts, 2.8 reboυпds aпd 2.1 assists while shootiпg jυst 36.6% from the field aпd 26.7% from 3-poiпt raпge.

Betweeп the Draft Combiпe aпd workoυts with differeпt teams aroυпd the leagυe, Broппy will have that opportυпity to do jυst that, bυt the whole world will be watchiпg to see whether the Lakers will briпg Broппy aпd LeBroп together oп the same team.

Lakers still opeп to draftiпg Broппy James to keep LeBroп James

Ever siпce LeBroп James origiпally spoke aboυt the possibility of playiпg with his soп Broппy, there has beeп rυmors aboυt the orgaпizatioп poteпtially draftiпg him iп order to make LeBroп’s dream come trυe. Aпd that still seems to be a real possibility.

A receпt report stated that the Lakers are ‘very opeп’ aboυt possibly draftiпg Broппy James iп order to appease LeBroп aпd allow him to fυlfill his dream of playiпg with his soп.
