Kobe Bryant to LeBron James the day he signed for the Lakers: 'You family now'
While Kobe was long retired by that time, he remained an influential figure in the franchise. And so when James decided to take his talents to Hollywood, Kobe’s reaction to the move was something everybody looked forward to seeing. Now in the latest Lakers documentary from Hulu titled “Legacy,” James opened up the moment he signed with LA and reminisced what Bryant told him at the time. Kobe kept it simply, telling James “You family now.”

Who’s the Bulls’ Alpha? It’s a team sport, but all the best ones have one, and we know who they are: Curry, Giannis, Luka, KD, Jokic, Embiid, Jimmy, LeBron. Can a team ultimately succeed without The One?

Hmmm. In his @SpectrumSN postgame interview with

LAL’s starters (missing three typical starters) outscored GSW’s starters, the 4th straight preseason game they’ve done so.
Game will change now as the bench rotation tonight (since LeBron, Westbrook, Beverley, Brown Jr. and Schroder are all out) features several rookies. – 9:05 PM

Let’s talk about you dropping 38 at the Garden on Kobe. I remember watching it, as an Asian guy and a Knicks fan, and being blown away by what I was seeing. I never thought I’d see an Asian dude cooking Kobe Bryant at Madison Square Garden. And Kobe talked some shit about you before the game, which seemed to kick you into another gear. Jeremy Lin: Yeah, for sure. That’s a great way to describe it. I was already in the zone and had three good games, and I grew up being a Warriors fan in the Bay Area, so we did not like the Lakers and did not like Kobe. And then he extra-gassed me by what he’d said before the game. I felt slighted and disrespected, and all those things put me in a place of, I’m going for it tonight. It was just, if I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m firing it up at the rim. If it doesn’t go in then it doesn’t go in, but it won’t be because I’m not gonna shoot it. -via The Daily Beast / October 5, 2022
In an exclusive statement to Andscape, Maverick Carter, the SpringHill Company CEO, said a recently-taped episode of The Shop featuring Kanye West will not air. “Yesterday we taped an episode of The Shop with Kanye West. Kanye was booked weeks ago and, after talking to Kanye directly the day before we taped, I believed he was capable of a respectful discussion and he was ready to address all his recent comments. Unfortunately, he used The Shop to reiterate more hate speech and extremely dangerous stereotypes. -via Andscape / October 12, 2022
Sources close to the production say West doubled down on his recent anti-Semitic remarks during the episode. Other guests included shoe designer Salehe Bembury and Jeezy, whom West collaborated with on 2008’s Grammy-nominated record “Put On.” LeBron James was not present at the taping. The pulled episode of The Shop is just another incident in a string of bizarre media moments for West in the last week. During his recent runway show at Paris Fashion Week, West’s decision to debut shirts with the phrase “White Lives Matter” drew immediate criticism. Sherrilyn Ifill, the former president and director-counsel of the NAACP’s Legal Defense and Educational Fund, called West’s rhetoric “dangerous.” -via Andscape / October 12, 2022
