    Draymond Green passionately responds to critics accusing him of avoiding Lakers-loss discussion on podcast, labeling their remarks as ‘pathetic’.

    Warriors star Draymond Green had a fiery response to those that believed he wouldn’t discuss the Nuggets sweeping the Lakers in the Western Conference finals on his podcast.

    Green, who’s known for candidly speaking his mind on the Volume Sports show, fired back at critics that claimed he was “hurt” after his good friend LeBron James and the Lakers were swept on their home floor in a 113-111 Game 4 loss on Monday.

    “By the way for all of y’all out there that was like, ‘Ah man, the Lakers lost and Draymond won’t do a podcast,’” Green said on the latest installment of “The Draymond Green Show” on Tuesday. “I play for the Golden State Warriors.

    “Some of you people are so pathetic in the beliefs you allow yourself to believe, and I can absolutely understand why life don’t be so great — because the beliefs that you allow to enter your mind about someone else, really is a reflection of what you believe and think of yourself and how you operate in things.

    “So I thought that was a very interesting thing that people were like, ‘Ah man, they lost. Draymond don’t want to talk, he’s hurt, like what?”

    Green went on to say that he’s been absent from the airwaves due to a postseason vacation following Golden State’s second round ouster at the hands of the Lakers.

    The Lakers defeated the defending champion Warriors 122-101 in Game 6 of the conference semifinals earlier this month to advance to face Denver.

    “Actually I’m on vacation and having a margarita so cheers to all of you — margarita made with Lobos tequila,” Green explained before taking a sip of his drink.

    “Absolutely incredible… Toast to you all that that was your whatever… however, a lot of people better be lucky I took the weekend off,” he said, adding that it was his first weekend off since September 2022.

    Green and James, along with Lakers big man Anthony Davis are investors in the tequila brand, Lobos 1707 — and are often seen promoting it together at star-studded gatherings.

    Green has been linked to the Lakers since late last year, around the same time a video leaked from inside the Warriors facility in October 2022, that showed him punch his teammate, Jordan Poole in the face.

    Following the video’s release, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith said on “First Take” that Green “would prefer to be a Laker.”

    The four-time NBA champion has a $27.6 million player option for next season with Golden State — but has an opt-out clause in his contract that would allow him to test free agency and potentially join another team on a long-term deal.

    In a separate episode of his podcast, Green said he and his agent — Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, who also serves as James’ agent — have yet to discuss his future.

    Green, did however, say that he spoke with his Warriors teammates Steph Curry and Klay Thompson and expressed their desire to stick together in Golden State.

    As for James?

    The 38-year-old addressed his playing future on Monday, and cryptically said he has “a lot to think about” this offseason.

    In the annals of celebrity culture, few figures have made as indelible a mark as Kim Kardashian. From her humble beginnings as a reality TV star to her current status as a titan of industry with assets nearing the $2 billion mark, Kardashian’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary, marked by relentless ambition, savvy business acumen, and a knack for reinvention.

    Born into the affluent Kardashian-Jenner clan, Kim Kardashian first rose to prominence through her appearances on the reality television series “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” The show, which debuted in 2007, provided viewers with an intimate glimpse into the glamorous yet tumultuous lives of the Kardashian family, catapulting them to unprecedented levels of fame and fortune.

    Despite initial skepticism about the show’s longevity, Kardashian seized the opportunity to leverage her newfound celebrity status into a burgeoning empire. With a keen eye for business opportunities and a relentless drive to succeed, she began to explore avenues beyond reality TV, laying the foundation for what would become a multi-billion-dollar brand.

    Central to Kardashian’s success is her mastery of personal branding and social media marketing. With a combined following of over 250 million followers on platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, she has cultivated a formidable online presence, effectively turning her name into a global brand synonymous with luxury, style, and sophistication.

    One of Kardashian’s most notable business ventures is her cosmetics company, KKW Beauty, which she launched in 2017. Building on the success of her sister Kylie Jenner’s cosmetics empire, Kardashian tapped into the burgeoning beauty market with a line of products designed to enhance and accentuate natural beauty. From contouring kits to lipsticks and fragrances, KKW Beauty quickly became a household name, generating millions in revenue and solidifying Kardashian’s status as a beauty mogul.

    Beyond cosmetics, Kardashian has diversified her business portfolio with ventures in fashion, fragrance, and even mobile gaming. Her clothing line, SKIMS, offers inclusive shapewear and loungewear designed to cater to women of all shapes and sizes, while her fragrance line has garnered critical acclaim for its luxurious scents and sleek packaging.

    Jordan Clarkson wears a pair of bespoke kicks with a PH motif

    Utah Jazz star Jordan Clarkson paid tribute to his Filipino heritage once again by debuting a pair of custom shoes inspired by the Philippines. The shoes, designed by Filipino artist Maui Lucero, feature Clarkson donning a Gilas Pilipinas jersey.

    Clarkson’s bespoke Nike Zoom Freak 2 was designed by Filipino artist Maui Lucero to honor the Philippine national team and features the words “Laban Pilipinas” across the swoosh.

     


     

     

     

     

     


    Clarkson once played for Gilas Pilipinas in the 2018 Asian Games, when the Philippines finished higher than in any of the previous 16 quadrennial competitions.

    Clarkson, the reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year, is featured in the other pair while wearing the uniform of the Utah Jazz.

    “Puso!” For the post’s caption, Clarkson penned.

    Lucero, also known as thebrocustom on Instagram, has collaborated with a number of professional Filipino basketball players, most notably those in the PBA.

    Beau Belga of Rain or Shine, Terrence Romeo of San Miguel, Poy Erram of TNT, Calvin Abueva and Mark Barroca of Magnolia, and Jericho Cruz of NLEX are just a few of the players he made unique shoes for.Lucero expressed gratitude to Belga, Norwood, and Nambatac of Rain or Shine for helping him meet the Clarkson family.

    Rookie makes two huge plays in final minute to deliver Golden State Warriors victory

    The Gоlden Stаte Wаrriоrs beаt the Lоs аngeles Lаkers twice in the preseаsоn оn Fridаy аt Cryptо.cоm аrenа, thаnks in lаrge pаrt tо twо spectаculаr perfоrmаnces frоm rооkie Trаyce Jаcksоn-Dаvis.

    Jackson-Davis, another young player who helped define the Warriors’ victory, scored a putback layup with 32 seconds remaining. After Steve Kerr challenged the initial call of a foul on Jackson-Davis, the 23-year-old responded by blocking a layup attempt by fellow rookie Jalen Hood-Schifino on the subsequent play.

    Golden State’s lead grew to three after a pair of clutch free throws from Jonathan Kuminga; Los Angeles missed its final three attempts at forcing OT.

    The Golden State Warriors’ reserves came through with another victory to start the preseason.It didn’t take three quarters against a Laker club featuring LeBron James and Austin Reaves for Warrior supporters to be reminded that their team still has a long way to go defensively and cut down on turnovers.

    The Warriors took an early 13-6 lead, but the Lakers responded with 37 points in the first quarter to grab a five-point advantage. They scored 70 points by halftime, shooting 54.6% from the field and 10 of 18 (55.6%) from beyond the arc.

    Golden State scored 63 points in the first half, led by 12 points from Stephen Curry and 11 points from Jonathan Kuminga. Trailing by seven points entering the third quarter, the Warriors swiftly closed the gap with a 10-3 run.When the starting Warriors tried to get things going, their defense slacked off and their turnover problems got worse. Golden State committed 17 turnovers by the conclusion of the third quarter, and even experienced point guard Chris Paul couldn’t avoid them in his 19 minutes of play.

    The Warrior bench, as shown in their season opener last Saturday, is capable of dominating games against starting lineups. Brandin Podziemski, their other rookie, displayed composure and even more spectacular play by helping to set the tempo with 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 10 assists, leading the team in scoring.

    The 19th overall selection finished the first three quarters with nine assists, keying a 15-5 surge by Golden State that knotted the game at 100. In the fourth quarter, both teams’ substitutes got some playing time, but the Warriors’ reserves, led by Kuminga’s nine points and Moses Moody’s eight points and the late heroics of Jackson-Davis, came out on top.

    Even though Paul, Klay Thompson, and Andrew Wiggins played a combined 20 minutes, they only managed 23 points on 9-27 shooting, with Curry leading the starters with 18 points, three rebounds, and four assists in just 20 minutes.

     

  • OMG! Travis kelce & fans WELCOMED Taylor Swift to Fifth Third Arena with a passionate dance’s ‘Shake It Off’

    OMG! Travis kelce & fans WELCOMED Taylor Swift to Fifth Third Arena with a passionate dance’s ‘Shake It Off’

    Travis Kelce busted a move to girlfriend Taylor Swift’s song “Shake It Off” at his and his brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights Live: We Gotta Talk About It” show Thursday at Fifth Third Arena in Cincinnati.

    ADS BY MAXVALUE

    During a round of the Lombaby Games — a competition he and Jason created for the event, the Kansas City Chiefs player was seen grooving as a marching band played the pop star’s hit track.

    “That’s one of my favorites,” he could be heard telling the crowd in a TikTok video posted from the show.

    Swift, 34, was not seen at the event, which Page Six attended, but she was not expected to be one of the surprise guests — even though she is currently on hiatus from the international leg of her Eras Tour.

    The “Bad Blood” singer reportedly has been focused on “rest and recuperation” during her much-needed time off, and also squeezed in some quality time with friends at a recent birthday party in Los Angeles.

    However, the Kelce brothers, who returned to their home state of Ohio for the live podcast taping, did bring out Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Travis’ former Chiefs teammate Orlando Brown Jr. as special guests.

    Their parents, Ed Kelce and Donna Kelce, and Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, were also seen supporting the NFL stars at the show.

    Fifth Third Arena is just outside of Nippert Stadium, where the event was originally supposed to be held prior to weather complications. The stadium holds a special place for Travis, 34, and Jason, 36, as its where the brothers played college football for the University of Cincinnati (UC).

    Jason went to school there from 2006 to 2011 before being drafted to the Philadelphia Eagles his senior year, and Travis attended UC from 2008 to 2012 before being drafted to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013.

    The Lombaby Games got the audience excited with silly competitions that required contestants to do things like pin a mustache on an Andy Reid cutout and ride a bull while answering trivia.

    Jason teased the event on “New Heights” in March, saying, “One of the beautiful things about doing this on a college campus, you want the college atmosphere, you want the students involved, the student athletes involved, so we’re going to have two teams of UC students.

    “I’m not going to lie. I got this idea from ‘Revenge of the Nerds.’ Football team versus the nerds. Not saying the nonathletic guys are nerds unless you like to be called a nerd.”

    The retired Eagles center said at the time that the teams would face off in fun but “ridiculous” games.

    Ultimately, the nerds took the win on Thursday during the Lombaby Games.

    Thousands of people came out to support the Kelce brothers for their live podcast event, and Swifties were certainly among those in the crowd.

    Travis and Jason have both previously recognized how Swift’s fandom has brought even more success to their “New Heights” podcast, which they launched in September 2022.

    After winning Podcast of the Year at 2024 iHeartPodcast Awards in March, Jason said in an acceptance speech, “To receive an award like this is beyond humbling, and we would be remiss if we didn’t immediately thank all the 92 percenters out there — aka Swifties — who voted for us to win this award.”

    The pro athletes have mentioned or alluded to Swift in several of their podcast episodes.

    Travis sang a line from the Grammy winner’s hit “Bad Blood” on the show in March, and he also gushed about his trip to Singapore, where he saw her perform on her Eras Tour, in another episode that same month.

    The love is mutual, though, because Swift has proven she listens to the podcast and is part of the 92 percenters fandom.

    In January, the “Lover” singer subtly “liked” an Instagram video of Travis and Jason chatting about the latter’s wild shirtless behavior at the Chiefs’ game versus the Buffalo Bills, which Swift attended.

    New episodes of the “New Heights” podcast drop every Wednesday.

    LeBron James flames his haters on an Instagram post after dropping 35 points vs Portland

    On Friday night, LeBron James scored 35 points while leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a victory over the Portland Trailblazers. James is still going strong in his 38th NBA season.As he just did on Instagram, LeBron continues to “prove his haters and doubters wrong” whenever he has the chance, despite the fact that he currently has nothing to prove in his career.

    Instagram: LeBron slams his detractors

    The following is a caption that LeBron put up with an Instagram story on Friday, addressing his haters:

     

    On the other hand, I came here solely to film. That must have been your intention, didn’t it?!His detractors, who said that LeBron was merely “chasing the bag” after signing with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018, are obviously the target of this remark.

     

    LeBron’s performance thus farAveraging 33.9 minutes per game, 25.5 points per game, 8.3 rebounds per game, 6.3 assists per game, and 1.6 assists per game, LeBron James—the oldest active player in the NBA—has played in 12 games this season.

     

    In two of his previous three games for the Lakers, he has scored 30 or more points; on November 10, he scored 32 against the Phoenix Suns.

    LeBron James In Running For In-Season Tournament MVP

    The great Michael Jordan. Mohamed Abdul-Jabbar. Chamberlain, Wilt. While each of these guys has merit in the discussion of who the greatest NBA player of all time is, they do share a common denominator. They can all honestly sаy they were never named NBA In-Season Tournament Most Valuable Player. So, if all works out, LeBron James can present his case for greatest of all time (GOAT) in a month. Truthfully, LeBron is presenting a strong case to be named the In-Season Tournament’s Most Valuable Player. Matthew Peterson’s most recent rankings on NBA.com had the four-time MVP sitting in third place for the award, behind only Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers and Domantas Sabonis of the Sacramento Kings. In three games played thus far in the tournament’s group round, the 19-time All-Star has been sensational, averaging 27.7 points, 8.3 boards, and 7.0 assists per game.

    Thanks to the efforts of the NBA’s all-time top scorer, the Los Angeles Lakers are 3-0 in tournament play and hold the first-place point differential in the league after three games, with a 42-point advantage over their opponents. Even though hardly everyone is paying attention, James and the Lakers have shown that they know this tournament is big deal. With a victory over the Utah Jazz on Tuesday, the Lakers can secure their place in the elimination rounds and maintain their lead in West Group A.

    If the Lakers can go beyond the first round and into the second, they will have a fantastic chance of winning it all in Las Vegas. There is an inherent motivation to win these matches because all of them (up until the final) contribute to the regular-season standings. With an unbeaten Tournament record, though, the potential first ballot Hall of Famer would certainly be considered for MVP honors, and LeBron and the Lakers have appeared particularly motivated during the games.

    Even if the discussion over who is the greatest of all time—Jordan versus LeBron—may go on forever, LeBron is getting closer to an honor that even Air Jordan could never equal.

    Thoυsands of Taylor Swift fans were scaммed when bυying concert tickets

    On April 17, British Lloyds Bank said that thoυsands of fans of singer Taylor Swift in this coυntry have becoмe victiмs of мany мυsic ticket scaмs for The Eras Toυr here at the end of the year.

    According to a recent report by Lloyds Bank, since Jυly last year, at least 3,000 individυals have been dυped into bυying fake tickets, resυlting in losses of мore than £1 мillion ($1.24 мillion)..

    On average, each victiм was scaммed oυt of 332 poυnds (413 USD), and in soмe cases, the aмoυnt of мoney scaммed was мore than 1,000 poυnds (1,243 USD).

    Victiмs are often approached throυgh fake ads or posts on social networks, with 90% of reported cases looking to bυy tickets via Facebook.

    NBA Scout Explains Why Lakers Will Upset Nuggets

    The Los Angeles Lakers will face off against the Denver Nuggets in the opening round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs.

    Last year, Nikola Jokic and Co. swept L.A. in the Western Conference Finals and then went on to win the championship.

    Will history repeat itself this year?

    At least one prominent NBA scout doesn’t seem to think so.

    “I’m picking the Lakers because they’ve got their mojo going,” the scout told Sam Amick of The Athletic.

    “They played great at the end of the year. They got their lineup set with Rui Hachimura now. Denver’s just not as good (as it was last year). Yes, they’ll have the home court, which is significant. But they’re just not the same team.

    “This has been said all year: Losing Bruce Brown and Jeff Green is going to be important come playoff time. They’re relying on young guys, Peyton Watson and Christian Braun. I think the Lakers are very dangerous. They’re playing at a very high level. They’re playing with confidence.”

    LeBron James has made his thoughts on the looming Nuggets matchup clear.

    Everyone has picked a side, one way or the other, on who they think will win.

    Now it is up to the teams involved to decide what happens from here.

    Can D’Angelo Russell and the Lakers shock the world and upset Mike Malone the defending champions in the first round of this year’s playoffs? Time will tell.

  • Taylor Swift reacts to The Tortured Poets Department album reviews… after one critic asked to remain anonymous over harassment

    Taylor Swift reacts to The Tortured Poets Department album reviews… after one critic asked to remain anonymous over harassment

    Taylor Swift has responded to some of the positive reviews on her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.

    The Karma hitmaker, 34, took to her Instagram Stories on Sunday and reposted a number of reviews on her latest body of work, captioning each one with her own lyrics.

    She shared a glowing review from Rolling Stone which summed up Swift on the album as ‘confused, bitter, raging, vulnerable, yet more gloriously chaotic than we’ve ever heard her before.’

    The singer wrote on the post, ‘And that’s the closest I’ve come to my heart exploding.’ The line comes from track two, which bears the same name as the album, and Swift added two white heart emojis to it.

    It comes after one magazine excluded a critic’s byline on a less-than-favorable review of the hitmaker’s new album over fears of harassment from Swift’s loyal fans.

    The superstar also shared a five-star review from The Times, adding ‘These Chemicals hit me like white whine’ from her song The Alchemy.

    Another positive review came from The Independent, with critic Helen Brown writing, ‘The whole album is a terrific reminder of the intense, personal connection Swift can conjure in song.’

    ‘She fills arenas and dominates the news agenda because listeners can relate to her starry dramas – her tales endow their own experiences with new electricity.’

    Taylor re-posted it to her Stories adding the line, ‘Everyone we know understands why it’s meant to be’ — another one of her lyrics.

    She also shared a five-star review from iNews, which called her new album a ‘unique record – and one of the star’s most emotionally poised.’

    Swift added the lyrics, ‘I feel like laughing in the middle of practice’ to the review, from her love anthem to boyfriend Travis Kelce, 34, titled High School.

    Meanwhile earlier in the day Paste Magazine cited safety reasons as the need for their review to be anonymous.

    Writing on X (formerly known as Twitter) in an editor’s note, the publication stated, ‘There is no byline on this review due to how, in 2019 when Paste reviewed Lover, the writer was sent threats of violence from readers who disagree with the work.’

    They ended the statement with, ‘We care more about the safety of our staff than a name attached to an article.’

    Although the negative review was not likely to dissuade any of the millions of people who have already listened to the album since it dropped early Friday morning, it does offer up a hefty dose of criticism and accuses the Grammy winner of being unable to not ‘infantilize the very people who buy into her music and drive her successes upwards in the first place.’

    The review also asserts that TTPD’s ‘title track features some of Swift’s worst lyricism to date.’

    The writer had praise for But Daddy I Love Him, saying it ‘really lends its hand to the knack for awe-striking, stand-still melodies that Swift has long shown she has a finesse for.’

    Much of the article seemed to take issue with whether Swift could be tortured while living a billionaire’s lifestyle.

    ‘If Swift can return to one of her dozen beach houses across the world, kick up her feet and say “I’m a poet of struggle,” then who is to say that millions — maybe billions — of people with access to a notes app and a social media account won’t dream that dream, too?’ they asked.

    Fans were furious that the writer would not stand behind their words.

    ‘Where is the alleged “review” of the actual album? This is just pure ragebait vomit lol,’ wrote one angry fans.

    ‘The opening line about Sylvia Plath taking her life isn’t quirky and is extra tasteless when you add the moral digs at Taylor’s jet usage considering the writer clearly does not care to be empathetic unless it’s time to tear down Taylor in a “music review.”‘ penned another.

    ‘We want real journalist back not this gossip article,’ declared a fan.

    At least one reader seemed to appreciate the controversial column.

    ‘Amazing article, paste magazine!!! So glad true journalists are telling the truth and not being afraid of denouncing the devil,’ the wrote.

    Despite scoring somewhat less-positive reviews than her last three albums, according to Metacritic, The Tortured Poets Department was an immediate hit with consumers.

    It sold around 1.4 million copies on Friday and surpassed the record set by 1989 (Taylor’s version) to become her biggest US album to date.

    The LP was streamed on Spotify more than 300 million times in a single day.

    It became the first album to cross the 200 million and 300 million stream mark, according to the platform.

    Fortnight, the first single featuring Post Malone, also broke records for the most streamed song in a single day.

    Swift wrote ‘All’s Fair in Love and Poetry,’ but topping the charts while hanging out at one of her beach houses may be the best revenge after a bad review.

    Vanessa Bryant Receives A Special Gift From Pau Gasol

    Vanessa Bryant commemorated her anniversary with her late husband, Kobe Bryant, this week.

    In a series of posts on social media, Vanessa shared photos of herself and Kobe – plus certain gifts she received from various individuals in honor of the event.

    One of the people who sent something to Vanessa this week was Kobe’s former Los Angeles Lakers teammate, Pau Gasol.

    Vanessa shared Gasol’s gift on her IG Stories:

    Vanessa is obviously no stranger to receiving gifts from Gasol. Some have even taken issue with how close the two are.

    But clearly Gasol is just a really great friend to the entire Bryant family, and anyone who tries to insinuate otherwise has some serious issues to work through.

    That said – Vanessa is used to being in the headlines for myriad of reasons. It doesn’t even phase her anymore.

    Between her party pictures with Kim Kardashian, her wild girls’ night photos with La La Anthony and her photos with Rob Pelinka, she is constantly trending for something or other.

    Her dynamic with Gasol is just the latest example of that.

    Kobe was a truly special and influential figure within the larger Los Angeles sports community. His impact on the city will forever go down in L.A. lore.

    As a result, Vanessa always holds a special place in the hearts and minds of Lakers fans as well. Her close bond with Gasol is something that has and continues to warm the hearts of both their supporters everywhere.
