LaMelo Ball’s giant $10M mansion includes 11 bedrooms, a large swimming pool and a private staircase leading to the sea

The former Illawarra Hawk, who lived in Wollongong, is now a player for Michael Jordan’s Charlotte Hornets in the NBA and also happens to be Jordan’s neighbor at his new $10 million mansion.

His vast beachfront property in North Carolina, where he is a rising star in America, is worlds away from South Beach Wollongong; you can get to his excavations by car, sea, or air.

Ball won Rookie of the Year from his peers after completing an incredible rookie campaign in the NBA.

Watch this video to see his insane mansion (ignoring the part that says falsely that Ball ended up buying our Illawarra Hawks).

KING LeBron James expressed his overwhelming love and gratitude for his brave mother

LeBron James, the superstar player for the Los Angeles Lakers, recently sent an emotional message to his mother, who is now 55 years old and raised him despite all the odds.

The superstar player for the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James, was born in the little Ohio city of Akron. Additionally, he was the sole child of Gloria Marie James, who raised him in spite of the fact that the odds were against them and worked very hard to provide him with a stable environment. James credits his mother’s influence for both his great achievement and his reputation as a role model. Furthermore, he had recently given his 54-year-old mother a touching note.

When LeBron James was born in 1984, his mother was only sixteen years old. Gloria lived with her mother, which meant that the James family had to put up with an unfavorable situation. But it was a sad tragedy—James was only 19 when Mom passed away unexpectedly.

Gloria James was consequently compelled to raise her child by herself. As the sole caregiver, she had to make tough decisions and exert significant extra effort to provide her son with a stable environment. LeBron James and his mother still have a very close relationship now as a direct result of this.

LeBron James gives his mother a moving message.

Mom of LeBron James recently shared a message on social media expressing her love for her son.  “My truest blessing. I couldn’t have asked God for anyone better. Love you my son.” And James reposted his mom’s post on his story and wrote: “I LOVE YOU MORE MAMA!” after reposting his mother’s post on his narrative.

LeBron James has made it his mission to provide his mother with the best treatment possible in addition to an abundance of love and affection. After winning his fourth championship with the Los Angeles Lakers in the Orlando Bubble, James called his mother to thank her for everything that she had done for him. He gave her a call pretty early on, and they spoke for a long time after that. Among the first people he spoke to after making the call was her.

Kevin Durant shows off his Lamborghini and Rolls Royce supercars during a lavish trip in Monaco

The star player for the New York Nets, Kevin Durant, has been on holiday in Europe since May 9. He has mostly been in Monaco, where Michael James, his former teammate, was also on vacation. Durant revealed on social media that he owns multiple Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini expensive cars.

After the Nets were humiliated 4-0 by the Celtics in the opening round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, Durant traveled to Europe in order to recuperate. Additionally, he started the sabbatical earlier than expected.

Durant uploaded a series of photographs of himself and his companions playing luxury automobile games today. Today, he was attired in a green helmet, red shorts, and a gray athletic cardigan.

Durant leans on his Lamborghini Urus luxury car, a leisurely look.

Notably, Durant owns an excessive number of luxury vehicles to the extent that he can establish a gaming squad with his companions, each of which is followed by a convertible Rolls-Royce and a luxury vehicle.

The most attractive is a red Lamborghini supercar.

The colors are gorgeous and eye-catching.

This is the black Lamborghini Urus that Durant likes to drive.

Durant’s Lamborghini + Rolls-Royce team is parked outside the hotel where he lives, very eye-catching!

Netizens have commented as follows: “Don’t run around the construction site and go outside; everything is shut down,”

“There are no bad people,” “It’s so beautiful; there are no bad drivers,” and “Adu, what are you doing on an airplane?”

”Can a car model of this level give my little Polo one too?” “Why does Adu like barbs so much?”

“The engineering model is down”

“He really likes red pants”

“Lamborghini is so beautiful”

“No wonder I don’t want to get married and this life makes me have it and I don’t want to get married”

“It’s so entertaining that even the smallest trolls can’t be angry and live better than us” “

The trolls will only complain that they were swept away and are not at home emo.”

“I can only sаy that TAs in the world of the wealthy are unqualified to comprehend, given how leisurely they are at this time.”

“Kd brother, you have a good time, I want to go to work”

“Has Xiaoshuai changed his career to be a car model?”

“He seems to like Lamborghini” “Is it possible that he plans to retire?”

Admire Lebron James’ $52M Hollywood Hills mansion that included an infinity pool overlooking LA, a golf sim before it was demolished

Situated in the Hollywood Hills, the luxurious digs provide the perfect palace for King James to look over his LA Kingdom.

LeBron James has dropped $52m on 16,000 sq ft of luxury

The infinity pool features a floating lounge area with breathtaking views of LA

Cross the floating bridge to reach the glorious dining and living areas

Situated in the Hollywood Hills, the outdoor living area features ample space to relax and enjoy the view

LeBron wants to win his fourth title with a different team for the third time.

James, the greatest player in the world and, in the eyes of many, the greatest challenger to Michael Jordan’s record as the greatest player of all time, isn’t short of spare change.

Looks like he’s opted to spend a lot of money on this gorgeous house.

The 35-year-old and his family have some solitude behind the tall hedges and security gates, but beyond that lies a spacious 16,000 square foot property that exudes luxury.

James has plenty of room to park his cars as you approach, and the entrance is beautifully decorated with water elements.

You arrive at the exquisite living and dining areas after traversing the lovely floating bridge.

James may therefore unwind and relax in elegance and comfort, whether it’s to hang out with some of his close friends—including superstar Jay-Z—or to enjoy his favorite Mexican dish with his family on one of his renowned Taco Tuesdays.

The property is tastefully decorated in a sleek, contemporary style, exuding a sense of refined elegance. Its substantial marble fireplaces further contribute to the cozy, homey atmosphere.

The house is filled with natural light and has stunning views of Los Angeles from the floor to ceiling windows.

When you walk into the garden, the property nevertheless manages to introduce a fresh dynamic style dimension.

James can take a plunge in his boomerang-shaped infinity pool and then unwind on the couch area in the center of the water, taking in the amazing view of the city.

James, the three-time title winner known for his unwavering work ethic, has plenty of leisure spots to unwind in the sun after a strenuous practice session, both by the pool and on the rooftop deck.

James has access to a private gym at home where he can work out or just kick back in his lounge, wet bar, wine cellar, cigar room, or golf simulator.

In addition to assisting with his recuperation, his sauna, hydrotherapy pool, and float tank can help him stay competitive for many years to come.

The sleek, modern furnishing portrays a quiet sophistication

Nestled in the Hollywood Hills, the property offers space and privacy… and a roof deck

There is plenty of space to welcome guests, which could include friend Jay-Z

The property’s interior is brimming with natural light

The resort is so opulent that it will be difficult for him to remain gone for up to three months when the Lakers visit Disney World the following month to finish the NBA season.

At the Orlando resort, James will be looking to win his fourth ring with a third different team. The Lakers are currently leading the Western Conference with a 49-14 record.

And the cries from some quarters for him to be regarded as the “GOAT” over a certain Michael Jordan will only get louder if he manages to dominate another NBA Finals later this year.

LeBron James could end up ditching Lakers for an Eastern Conference powerhouse this offseason

Reports suggest the Philadelphia 76ers could be a real option for King James.

LeBron James’ time in Los Angeles could be coming to an end.LAPRESSE

Following a first round exit in the NBA Playoffs and a fourth straight season without a championship, LeBron James‘ future with the Los Angeles Lakers has become incredibly murky.

James continues to play at an extremely high level at 39 years old, but the Lakers roster could stand to get some big upgrades. James also doesn’t seem to see eye-to-eye with head coach Darvin Ham, but he will reportedly be back as the coach for next season.

LeBron James offers an unexpected reason for Lakers’ poor performance

Could LeBron James join the Philadelphia 76ers?

That could see LeBron make the jump somewhere else, and rumors have begun popping up about the Philadelphia 76ers being a potential destination.

We’re yet to see truly credible sources, although The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor recently reported that Sixers GM Daryl Morey tried to trade for James before the trade deadline. Obviously, they would be all-in if James actually becomes available.

Matching James with Joel Embiid would make for must-watch TV. Adding Tyrese Maxey, who is shining the playoffs, to the mix makes the Sixers an appealing option for the aging James.

Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse is well-respected around the league and won the NBA Championship with the Toronto Raptors in 2019. It wouldn’t be a surprise if LeBron gets persuaded.

LeBron James : Lakers Open to 3-Year, $164M Contract in NBA Free Agency 2024

Ronald Martinez/Getty Images

In the wake of the Los Angeles Lakers’ season-ending loss to the Denver Nuggets on Monday night, LeBron James has a decision to make about his future in the NBA.

Per The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Jovan Buha and Sam Amick, the Lakers “badly” want James back and they are open to discussing a three-year, $164 million max extension he’s eligible to sign this summer:

“This franchise has always been buoyed by the stars, and James’ ability to still play at an elite level at his advanced age has only strengthened the desire to have him retire in a purple-and-gold jersey one day. And after six seasons together in which there has been no shortage of ups and downs, (Jeanie) Buss and James, team sources say, have a relationship that is better than ever these days.”

James has to decide whether to opt in to his $51.4 million player option for next season by June 29.

When asked about his future after the Lakers’ 108-106 loss on Monday night, James told reporters he hasn’t made any decisions yet.

“I don’t have an answer … to be honest. I haven’t given it much thought,” he said.

The Athletic noted James’ relationship with the franchise “stabilized” after he seemed to be disillusioned earlier in the season by posting cryptic emojis on social media prior to the trade deadline.

LeBron James@KingJames

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne reported on Feb. 14 the Golden State Warriors tried to approach the Lakers and James prior to the trade deadline, but neither Los Angeles nor James were interested in a move.

In addition to his potential free agency, James will be spending the next few months preparing for what will almost certainly be his final appearance in the Olympics with Team USA this summer.

There has been no indication James wants to leave Los Angeles, but things could always change if a situation opens up that he thinks would provide him with a better opportunity to win a title before his career ends.

If James does sign a three-year deal with the Lakers, it would take him through his age-42 season. He’s already the oldest active player in the league and will turn 40 on Dec. 30.

While that would be a significant risk for any team to take, James proved this season at the age of 39 he’s still capable of playing at a high level. He averaged 25.7 points, 8.3 assists and 7.3 rebounds per game in 71 starts.

Anthony Davis Willing To Recruit LeBron James To Return To Lakers Next Season

Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports

The duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis has proven they can reach the highest level when they led the Los Angeles Lakers to the 2020 NBA Championship. While they haven’t returned there, Davis and LeBron continued to prove this year that when they are healthy, they can compete with the best the league has to offer.

Unfortunately for them and the Lakers, they have run into a buzzsaw in the Denver Nuggets two years in a row in the postseason and have seen their year ended at the hands of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. And now for the second straight year, there are questions surrounding James’ future after 21 years in the league.

Davis himself isn’t quite sure what LeBron will decide, but will support his friend in whatever choice he makes.

“He’s been in this position numerous times in his career where he’s had to make a decision ultimately for himself and his family,” Davis said. “I’m gonna be right there supporting him in whatever he decides to do. I’m not sure, I don’t know (what he will decide), it’s still fresh. I’m pretty sure it’s not even on his mind right now. Pretty sure he’ll come talk to me and tell me what’s going on before he goes public with the decision just to keep me in the loop.

“But yeah, obviously it’s been a great five seasons with him. If he does decide to come back, obviously we want to be better than losing in the first round. If he does, obviously our goal is to come back and be a championship contender. Stay healthy and give Lakers Nation what they deserve. But he has a decision to make and when that time comes, he’ll inform me and inform you guys.”

As Davis said, James has to make the best decision for himself and his family. But the Lakers big man would obviously love for him to return to the purple and gold for another season and he plans on staying in LeBron’s ear this summer about it.

“Absolutely. I feel like we complement each other. We’ve done something special together,” Davis added. “The good thing about it is I’m gonna be with him all summer. So we’ll have a lot of conversations and things like that. But he knows how I feel about him. Like I said, he’s been in this game a long time. This is season 21 and he’s been in this position a couple times to make these type of decisions.

“If he kind of asks my opinion or whenever we talk about it, I’m obviously gonna try to recruit him back. But he’s old enough where he’s gonna make a decision on whatever is best for him and his family knowing that his time is limited in this league, probably a couple more years left. His goal is obviously to win and I feel like we can do that here, but ultimately it’s how he feels and what he decides.”

Davis believes he and LeBron are capable of raising another championship banner with the Lakers and he is going to do whatever he needs to try and convince his co-star to stick around. But the decision is ultimately not his to make and when James knows, the rest of the world will too.

Lakers’ LeBron James clarifies reports on his future

Immediately following the Lakers’ playoff elimination, LeBron James was asked about his future and made it clear he hadn’t given it thought yet.

“I don’t have an answer to your first question, to be honest. I haven’t given it much thought,” James said. “Obviously, at some point, I’ll sit down with Rich [Paul], my agent and I will sit down with the family and will see what’s best for my career. We’ll cross that when we need to.

Even still, reports began coming out stating that LeBron planned on opting out of his contract with the Lakers, amongst other things, prompting the Lakers superstar to take to social media and re-iterate that no decision has been made and won’t be made until he speaks with his family and trusted inner circle.

Bronny ending college career with $800,000 decline, LeBron James supporting son through rough stretch

The young basketball star will enter the NBA Draft while still maintaining college eligibility

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, left, poses with his son Bronny after Sierra Canyon defeated Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary in a high school basketball game Dec. 14, 2019, in Columbus, Ohio. Bronny James will enter the NBA draft after one season at Southern California that was shortened by his recovery from cardiac arrest. The 19-year-old son of LeBron James announced Friday, April 5, 2024, on his Instagram account that he also plans to retain his college eligibility and will enter the transfer portal. (AP Photo/Jay LaPrete, File) 

Bronny James has been in the spotlight since he was a little kid and things have not changed now that he is in college. In 2023 he committed to the University of Southern California coming out from Sierra Canyon High School. His stats where good enough to make doubters into believers.

The son of LeBron James averaged 13.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.8 steals per game, something that also helped increase his NIL (name, image and likeness) value.

At that point, his valuation was reported to be near $5.9 million, all thanks to many lucrative deals with worldwide known brands such as Nike and Beats by Dre. Everything appeared to be on its way to increasing even more than that value, but a health matter prevented that from happening.

On July 24, 2023, Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest while practicing with his USC teammates at the Galen Center in Los Angeles. He was away from basketball for five months and his NIL value was not affected much at the time, however that changed quickly.

When he rejoined the team in December, the numbers changed, and it had a lot to do with what happened on the court. Bronny James played in 25 games and averaged only 4.8 points per game with 2.1 assists and 2.8 rebounds just over 19 minutes. The team didnt qualified to the NCAA Tournament and his NIL value went down from $4.7 million to $4.5 million.

LeBron James has stepped in to support his son

After Bronnys decision to enter the transfer portal but also enter de NBA Draft, he has received negative comments for using the NCAA as a fallback plan in case thing dont workout. LeBron James has been vocal about his son and his decisions.

“Can y’all please just let the kid be a kid and enjoy college basketball… The work and results will ultimately do the talking no matter what he decides to do. If y’all don’t know he doesn’t care what a mock draft says, he just WORKS! Earned Not Given!,” LeBron wrote on social media.

By the end of the last season, Bronny James lost $0.8 million, but if his dads wish comes true and the Los Angeles Lakers end up drafting him and they can play together for at least one year, the young James can increase his NIL quick.

Carmelo Anthony agrees with Dwyane Wade that nobody can pass Michael Jordan: “He brought something different to the game of basketball”

Only а few рlayers hаve hаd ѕuch а рrofound іmpact on the ѕport аs Michаel Jordаn. Hіs іncredіble ѕkill, unmаtched work ethіc, аnd undenіable сharisma not only mаde hіm аn NBA legend but аlso а globаl іcon. One NBA legend who voсally reсognizes Jordаn’s worldwіde іnfluence іs Carmelo Anthony.

Dwyаne Wаde once fаmously ѕaid nobody, even LeBron Jаmes, сould ever рass Jordаn. They сould only tіe hіm. For Melo, D-Wаde wаs on рoint, аnd the рroof іs аlreаdy rіght іn front of uѕ.

Anthony oрenly аcknowledged thаt “Hіs Aіrness” wаs the mаin reаson bаsketbаll beсame а globаl рhenomenon. Aссording to Melo, MJ’ѕ ѕwagger, сoveted ѕtyle of рlay, mаssive ѕucceѕѕ, аnd mаrketаbility аll рlayed а role іn рoрularizing bаsketbаll аround the world.

“Yeаh [I аgree wіth Wаde], I thіnk the wаy thаt he hаs trаnscended the gаme. The gаme wаs lookіng for аn іdentіty, аnd he сame іn wіth the ѕwag, wіth the ѕhort ѕhortѕ, the long ѕockѕ, аnd the сhain—he brought ѕomething dіfferent to the gаme of bаsketbаll. Globаlly,”  Anthony told Complex in 2016.

 

“Now the gаme іs аlreаdy globаl. We’re juѕt tаking аdvаntаge of whаt wаs аlreаdy сreated, from а globаl ѕtandpoint. And we’re enhаncing іt, but he ѕet thаt ѕtage. I meаn, nobody knew аbout NBA рlayers lіke thаt before ’92. They wаsn’t wаtching NBA gаmes over there. So when they ѕaw thаt Dreаm Teаm іn ’92, а new erа hаd ѕtarted. It wаs а new vіbe, а new аurа, а new reѕpect for bаsketbаll.”

Melo ѕayѕ іnternatіonal NBA ѕtarѕ owe іt to MJ

Anthony аlso emрhasized the сorrelation of Jordаn to the emergenсe of іnternatіonal NBA ѕtarѕ. Melo belіeves thаt they owe а debt of grаtitude to MJ for аdvаncing the ѕport worldwіde.

Over the yeаrs, іt’s ѕafe to ѕay thаt а hаndful of NBA ѕtarѕ from аll over the world hаve followed іn Jordаn’s footѕtepѕ, ѕhowcaѕing theіr tаlents аnd іnspіrіng future generаtions. But аs Anthony rіghtfully рointed out, the іnternatіonal ѕucceѕѕ of todаy’s NBA ѕtarѕ lіke hіs former New York Knіcks teаmmаte аnd Lаtviаn рlayer Krіstaps Porzіngіs іs buіlt uрon the foundаtion lаid by the tіmeless legаcy of Jordаn.

 

“[Porzіngіs] He’ѕ а deѕcendant of whаt wаs сreated іn ’92. For them to brіng аwаreness globаlly to the gаme of bаsketbаll, [Mіchael Jordаn] іs one of the reаsons he’ѕ аble to hаve thoѕe ѕkillѕ аnd рlay іn the NBA todаy,”  the 10-tіme NBA All-Stаr ѕtreѕѕed.

Melo іsn’t а fаn of GOAT debаte

Lіke moѕt of hіs contemporaries, Anthony unѕurpriѕingly belіeves Jordаn іs the one аnd only rіghtful NBA GOAT. However, he аdvocаtes for fаns to ѕhift theіr foсus from the everlаsting GOAT debаte to juѕt сelebrating the unрaralleled greаtness of аll NBA ѕtarѕ.

Anthony fіrmly belіeves thаt every greаt рlayer who grаced NBA hаrdwood brіngs unіque ѕkillѕ, dedіcatіon, аnd рassion to the gаme. Therefore, they deѕerve рroрer reсognition аnd аdmirаtion regаrdless of where рeoрle thіnk they ѕtand іn the GOAT rаnkings.

 

“I don’t lіke іt,”  Melo onсe said of the GOAT debаte.  “And I ѕay thаt beсause whenever we do thаt, we fаil to аppreciаte whаt we hаve іn front of uѕ,” Anthony told CBS Sрorts іn 2020. “Any tіme theѕe сomparisons аre mаde, whether іt’s аnybody — old ѕchool verѕuѕ new ѕchool — іt’s lіke, why сan’t we juѕt аppreciаte everybody for whаt they brіng to the gаme?”

“You know, MJ іs the GOAT. He’ѕ the greаtest ever. We аll know thаt, аnd we аll аgree to thаt,” he exрlained. “Why сan’t we ѕay thаt, but аlso gіve LeBron hіs flowerѕ whіle he’ѕ here too? Why сan’t we ѕay, ‘MJ wаs very greаt, LeBron іs very greаt, Kobe іs very greаt.’ We’re not аllowed to ѕay thoѕe thіngs todаy, beсause іt’s аlwаys thіs or thаt, аnd thаt’s juѕt our ѕociety — you hаve to сhoose one.”

 

MJ’ѕ сase аs the moѕt іnfluentіal аthlete of аll tіme

In аll fаirness to Anthony’ѕ tаke, Jordаn truly elevаted the gаme of bаsketbаll to globаl heіghts. By doіng ѕo, “Hіs Aіrness” аlso ѕolidified hіs GOAT ѕtatuѕ аnd hіs сase for beіng the moѕt іnfluentіal аthlete of аll tіme.

Beyond hіs on-сourt аchievements, Jordаn аlso revolutіonіzed the buѕineѕѕ ѕide of bаsketbаll. Hіs рartnershiр wіth Nіke led to the сreation of the іconіc Aіr Jordаn ѕneaker lіne, trаnscending the world of ѕportѕ аnd beсoming а fаshion ѕtatement. The рoрularity of the Aіr Jordаn brаnd helрed сatapult bаsketbаll’s ѕtatuѕ аs а globаl ѕport, ѕparking іnterest іn fаns from dіverse сultures аnd bаckgrounds.

Through hіs сharisma, tаlent, аnd entrepreneurial ѕpirit, MJ рaved the wаy for bаsketbаll to reаch new аudiences worldwіde, leаving а lаsting legаcy thаt сontinues to ѕhape the ѕport todаy. Through hіs effortѕ аnd unbelіevable іmpact, bаsketbаll hаs now beсome more thаn juѕt one of the moѕt рoрular ѕportѕ іn the world; іt іs аlso аn entіty thаt brіdges сultures аnd unіtes рeoрle from dіfferent bаckgrounds.

Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala Look Criticized Due To Grey Cardigan, Sparks Controversy With Unusual Explanation

Kim Kardashian, a perennial figure at the Met Gala, stirred up a storm with her latest appearance, drawing criticism for her choice of attire. The controversy centered around a seemingly out-of-place grey cardigan, which clashed with the glamorous theme of the event. However, what truly ignited the debate was Kim’s unexpected explanation for the wardrobe choice. In this article, we delve into the details of the controversy surrounding Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala look and the unconventional reasoning behind it.

Kim Kardashian, renowned for her fashion-forward sensibilities, is no stranger to turning heads on the red carpet. However, her 2024 Met Gala ensemble raised eyebrows for all the wrong reasons. While the event’s theme celebrated the epitome of high fashion and opulence, Kim’s decision to pair her striking gown with a simple grey cardigan left many perplexed.

Social media platforms erupted with critiques and memes, questioning the coherence of Kim’s outfit and its alignment with the extravagant theme of the Met Gala. Fashion enthusiasts and commentators expressed disappointment, highlighting the missed opportunity for Kim to make a statement with a more daring accessory choice.

What truly fueled the controversy, however, was Kim Kardashian’s explanation for the unconventional styling. In a post-event interview, Kim revealed that the grey cardigan held sentimental value, as it was a gift from her late grandmother. She explained that she wanted to honor her grandmother’s memory by incorporating the cardigan into her Met Gala look.

While some applauded Kim’s sentimental gesture, others remained unconvinced, arguing that such a significant event warranted a more thoughtfully curated ensemble. The debate ignited discussions on the intersection of fashion, personal expression, and tradition, with opinions sharply divided on whether sentimentality should supersede style at prestigious fashion events like the Met Gala.

Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala appearance, marked by the controversial inclusion of a grey cardigan, has sparked widespread debate and divided opinions within the fashion community and beyond. While some commend Kim’s homage to her grandmother’s memory, others criticize the mismatched styling in the context of the event’s theme. This incident underscores the complexities of fashion as a form of self-expression and the nuanced balance between tradition, sentimentality, and sartorial innovation on the red carpet.
