“I find it unbelievable that he did that.” It’s been years since I met Patrick Beverley. I adore the brother. It is unacceptable. He stated on First Take that it is inexcusable.

He didn’t plan to toss the ball at the woman when he flung it into the stands, but he shouldn’t have thrown it the first time. That is not what you do.

Smith expressed his empathy for the players in light of the heckling they endure from the crowd. However, that does not free you from upholding your professional obligations and decorum toward the league, the organization, and yourself, the expert stated. That is not what you do.

“It’s an extremely bad look,” he continued. Undoubtedly, a ban is on the horizon… the penalty is on the horizon, and I believe it will be harsh.

On Friday, Adams said on X that Beverley had contacted her to apologize.

“I want to thank everyone for their kind words and support,” she wrote on social media. I feel modest.

“Patrick Beverley apologized to me over the phone.” I accept it and am grateful for it. Additionally, the Bucks apologized.

“I’ve been in the news for more than 40 years, and grace and kindness always come out on top.”

The Lakers have reportedly fired coach Darvin Ham following their defeat in the NBA playoffs

LeBron James is reportedly waiting to see who the Lakers hire before deciding his future

The Lakers went 47-35 during the regular season under Ham’s leadership, but they did win the NBA’s first-ever In-Season Tournament.

After defeating New Orleans in a play-in game, the Lakers advanced to the seventh seed in the very contested Western Conference. However, this meant they would have to play Denver, who eliminated them from the playoffs the previous year.

In their first-round series, Los Angeles held a significant lead against the reigning champion Nuggets for extended periods of time. However, Nikola Jokic and his teammates eventually advanced to the second round with a string of comeback victories.

The Lakers’ defeat was bittersweet because James and Davis, the league’s top scorers with 76 games played and 71 for James, were both essentially healthy throughout the season. This was more than either superstar has played in an NBA season since 2017–18.

In addition to having a fantastic regular season, D’Angelo Russell also established a franchise record for 3-pointers made.

Only a four-win improvement in the standings from the previous season was the result of that health and success, and fans and observers largely held Ham responsible for his poor game management, sluggish tactical adjustments, and unwillingness to alter his starting lineups and player rotations even when things weren’t working.

In their first season under Ham (2022–23), the Lakers only finished 43–39, but they made the most of more advantageous postseason matchups.

They advanced to the conference finals, when they were swept by Denver, by winning playoff series against Memphis and Golden State after defeating Minnesota in a play-in game.

Los Angeles led the defending champion Nuggets for long stretches but couldn’t hold on

Lakers owner Jeanie Buss will be hiring team’s fourth head coach since James arrived in 2018

Since winning the 2020 championship in the Florida bubble, James, Davis, and the Lakers have finished third in three of their four playoff seasons without making it past the first round.

The Lakers, who will appoint their fourth head coach since James joined in 2018, have two years remaining on Ham’s deal. After Hall of Famer Phil Jackson left the Lakers in 2011, this will be the team’s sixth coach in fourteen years.

As an athletic forward, Ham played in the NBA for eight years, earning a championship with Detroit in 2004.

After accepting his first NBA assistant coaching position with the Lakers in 2011, he spent nine seasons working as Mike Budenholzer’s assistant in Atlanta and Milwaukee, where he helped the Bucks capture a second championship ring in 2021. He then rejoined the Lakers as head coach.

The Lakers, who internally anticipate that James will return, are waiting to make any offseason decisions as James has a $51.4 million player option for the next campaign.

After that, Pelinka has to decide if he thinks Rui Hachimura and other role players can help the Lakers become a contender with greater continuity, or if he can finally make the much-needed deals to get a third superstar.

During the year 2011, LeBron James purchased a 2% share in Liverpool FC, which at the time was worth $6.5 million.

This shareholding is currently worth more than $105.8 million.

She’s so gorgeous.

Taylor Swift stepped out for a date night with Travis Kelce donning an off-the-shoulder metallic dress in Las Vegas.

The “Cruel Summer” songstress was seen rocking the Alaïa Dance Dress ($3,030) as she posed alongside the Kansas City Chiefs star and a fan while dining at the Toca Madera Las Vegas, per a fan photo posted on Instagram Wednesday.

Swift, 34, accessorized her chic look with her usual vintage Cartier chained necklace ($27,250), drop earrings and several rings.

The 14-time Grammy winner styled her hair in a bun and wore her favorite red lipstick.

As for Kelce, 34, he sported a multi-colored cardigan and white T-shirt. He topped off his simple fit with a white cowboy hat and chained necklace.

“Tortured Poets Society ✍🏼 I love nice people. #Finally #NGLMyKneesWereShaking,” Sacha Tanha captioned the snap.

While the photo was barely shared on social media, it appears it was taken late Saturday night ahead of the NFL star’s stop at the Wynn’s XS nightclub as he was wearing the same outfit.

At the time, Kelce was seen in several fan videos hyping up the crowd during DJ Kygo’s set around 3 a.m. on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Swift was nowhere to be spotted in the club after she and her beau spent the weekend in Sin City for Patrick Mahomes’ charity gala.

But The Weeknd, 27, may have struggled to concentrate on his steak tartare after his girlfriend Selena Gomez decided to go braless in a semi-sheer black gown when they headed out for a meal in New York on Tuesday.

The saucy popstrel, 24, certainly stood out in the racy asymmetric dress, which clung to her curves perfectly- but suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction when it went translucent under the spotlight.

The figure-hugging frock skimmed her toned curves perfectly, and featured a pretty glitter-encrusted strap to one side.

However the thin material proved particularly susceptible to the flashlights, and became transparent under the click of the cameras.

And to make matters worse, as she clambered into the waiting car following her dinner date with her beau, she suffered the same fate.

With the dress becoming completely see-through, Selena’s thong-clad pert posterior was on full display as she exited the venue.

But apart from the embarrassing display, Selena put on an otherwise well put-together appearance.

The dress featured a high-low hemline, and an asymmetric slant  showcasing her toned pins.

Wearing her brunette locks in a sleek high ponytail, the stunning beauty accentuated her almond eyes with statement eyeliner and opted for nude lips.

Elongating her pins with a pair of stiletto heels, she held onto her  beau as they appeared more loved up than ever.

By way of contrast her Canadian other half, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, was wearing an altogether warmer ensemble of green jacket, shirt, jeans, trainers and baseball cap.

It is unlikely the 27-year-old singer would have been wanting any unwelcome distractions from his meal, as he had just performed an exhausting concert in the city.

Meanwhile a source recently told E! News Selena is ‘head over heels in love with Abel’.

‘This love is very mature and she is in a different head space now,’ E!’s source says of the romance, adding, ‘She has really found who she is and what makes her happy. She loves Abel and he loves her.’

The start of their relationship was clouded by the fact The Weeknd had previously dated Bella Hadid – whose sister, Gigi, was reported to be close to Selena.

Bella split from the R&B star in November after dating him for two years; with Abel’s loved-up outing with Selena seen just two months later.

Abel and Bella were reunited briefly at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Paris at the end of November in an awkward encounter where his ex pranced around in front of him in lingerie on the runway before he performed live.

It was said The Weeknd’s jealous ex-girlfriend was ‘pissed’ about their relationship, even though the brunette lovelies are not the closest of friends.

Indeed it was even suggested she ‘reached out’ to her former flame so she could tell him the actress is ‘using him.’

When photos of Selena draping herself over the singer and kissing him appeared in January, Bella immediately unfollowed her love rival on Instagram, and the classy model then posted a selfie where she was flashing her middle finger.

Meanwhile, Selena was famously involved in a long relationship with pop pixie Justin Bieber, though they finally parted ways for good three years ago.
