Going into free agency, there were three destinations reportedly on the table. The Golden State Warriors, the Miami Heat, and the Philadelphia 76ers. The Warriors are an opportunity to play with Steph Curry, the Heat are a reunion, and the Sixers are a championship-caliber roster.

However, it appears as though his decision may have been leaked on YouTube. On the Miami Heat YouTube channel, a live stream scheduled for July 27 popped up, saying “LeBron James Introductory Press Conference.” This would mean LeBron would be introduced to the media in Miami next Monday.

LeBron James to Miami?

This live stream was eventually deleted. However, it immediately began making the rounds on social media. One has to wonder if this was just some sort of placeholder in case he signs with the team, or if it is truly a leak, and LeBron is going back to the Heat.

If he does go to Miami, he will get to play alongside guys like Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo. The rest of the roster still has some work to do. Although LeBron would certainly inject a veteran presence into the roster.

LeBron infamously won two NBA titles with the Miami Heat back in 2012 and 2013. If he were to go back, you’d have to assume he would also be retiring there. Whether or not the team allows him a chance at winning a title remains to be seen.

For now, fans will have to keep waiting, as LeBron has yet to make his decision.

“My mom asked for me to have a kid, yeah. My dad had just got murdered that year, the same year I blew up,” Wayne recalled. At the time, he said his music career was beginning to take off, but his schedule still allowed him to spend most of the week at home because his performances were largely weekend dates. That changed once Cash Money Records secured its distribution deal with Universal.

“We got the Universal deal, and I was like, we have a tour coming up. And when I went on that tour, we were on the road for like, six months,” Weezy explained. According to Wayne, returning home after that stretch led to a conversation with his mother that has stayed with him ever since.

“So, when I came home, she was like, ‘Is this what you about to be doin’? Should I expect that? You were gone for too long. I’m lonely. My husband’s gone.'” Wayne said his mother then asked to “have a sit down” with him and his then-girlfriend and later, ex-wife, Toya Johnson, to discuss the possibility of the teenage couple having a child together.

Wayne and Toya welcomed their daughter, Reginae Carter, when they were both teenagers. Reginae has since become a television personality and social media figure in her own right, while Wayne has often spoken about the close relationship they share.

Check out the clip of Wayne below.

This collaboration marks the shop’s first project tied to Nike SB’s Air Force 1 remix. Black suede covers most of the shoe’s upper from front to back. Royal blue accents appear across the Swooshes, heel tabs, and outsole.

A white midsole helps break up the shoe’s darker overall tone. Instant’s branding shows up in blue along the lateral heel. The color combo nods to Nike SB’s old J-Pack Dunk releases from years back.

Still, Instant’s design stops short of copying that pack directly. This shoe is part of a bigger rollout tied to Nike SB’s Air Force 1 program. Other shops, including Ben-G in Amsterdam and Nocturnal in Philadelphia, have their own pairs coming.

Nike SB has also teased a “Color of the Month” series built around this shoe. That series hasn’t officially launched yet, despite several pairs already surfacing. Instant’s version is expected to release globally through Nike SB skate shops.

For now, fans will have to wait until the holiday season for release details. More images and confirmation should surface as that window gets closer.

Instant Skateboards x Nike SB Air Force 1 “Game Royal”

This Air Force 1 uses Nike SB’s reworked skate-ready construction throughout. That version adjusts the shoe’s cushioning and support for skateboarding use. Black suede gives the upper a softer texture than standard leather builds.

Blue suede panels wrap around the Swoosh and heel for contrast. The white midsole keeps the design from feeling too dark overall. A blue outsole ties the color scheme together from top to bottom. Instant’s heel branding adds a personal touch tied directly to the shop.

That detail separates this pair from a standard in-line SB release. The color story adds a layer of Nike SB history to the shoe. Skate shop collaborations like this often carry extra meaning within skate communities.

“If I go to jail with a new charge, I’m not getting out,” she said in the video.

Authorities say the arrest stemmed from an earlier encounter on April 2. It was then that detectives allegedly attempted to stop a black Tesla driven by Broomfield. According to the arrest report, she sped away and drove recklessly before eventually abandoning the vehicle and fleeing on foot. Investigators caught up with her days later, leading to the arrest captured on the newly released footage.

Broomfield Was Found With Meth

Police said they recovered 29.5 grams of a substance that field-tested positive for methamphetamine inside the Tesla, along with $1,010 in cash. According to investigators, Broomfield told detectives she had picked up the drugs for her boyfriend. She was subsequently charged with trafficking methamphetamine, resisting an officer without violence, and driving with a suspended or revoked license.

Broomfield, who has pursued a music career in addition to sharing a son with Kodak, has not publicly commented on the release of the footage. Her attorney also had not responded to media requests for comment at the time of publication.

This marks Jordan Brand’s first retail partnership with the Jackie Robinson estate. Past Jackie Robinson tributes stayed limited to player-only exclusives. This cleat brings that story to everyday collectors and players instead.

The design uses shades of blue throughout. Those shades reference Robinson’s playing days with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Ivory breaks up the palette across the laces and midsole. A mudguard adds subtle texture near the toe area. Robinson’s signature appears along the side of the shoe.

His retired number, 42, shows up on the tongue as well. Translucent heel tabs reveal a photo of Robinson behind them. That detail gives the cleat a more personal, tribute feel. A cleated outsole replaces the Air Jordan 4’s usual build. Jordan Brand hasn’t confirmed an exact release date just yet.

Reports suggest April 15th, Jackie Robinson Day, as a likely launch window. Since the images are mockups, small design changes could still happen. Even so, this release stands out among Jordan Brand’s baseball offerings. It’s expected to be one of its more meaningful drops in 2027.

Air Jordan 4 MCS “Jackie Robinson”

Nike has released Jackie Robinson tributes for years across several sneaker lines. This marks the first time Jordan Brand has joined that tradition publicly.

Past Jackie Robinson cleats from Jordan Brand stayed limited to team athletes only. That made this shoe’s public release a notable shift for the label. The Dodgers-inspired blues tie directly to Robinson’s historic 1947 MLB debut. Small design touches, like his signature and number, reinforce that connection throughout.

The translucent heel tab stands out as the cleat’s most personal detail. It’s a subtle way to honor Robinson without overwhelming the shoe’s design. Since these are early mockups, final touches could shift before release. Fans will likely see updated images as the release date gets closer.

The cover arrives just weeks after Lizzo released B*tch, her first full-length album since 2022’s Special.

Lizzo’s Successful Run In The Industry

Since breaking through with the chart-topping success of “Truth Hurts,” Lizzo has established herself as one of the most recognizable artists of her generation. A classically trained flutist, she earned widespread acclaim with Cuz I Love You before collecting four Grammy Awards.

Throughout that rise, Lizzo has remained one of pop culture’s most visible advocates for body confidence and self-acceptance. Her message has become a defining part of her public identity, making a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover feel like a natural extension of the image she’s cultivated over the past several years.

“I’m so glad to hear Trump say, when they was mad at him about building the ballroom,” he said. “Everything we do we have to do it on the d*mn lawn. People who don’t know nothing [are] hearing that thinking he’s just being Trump. No, for real, I was glad to hear him saying that.”

Wayne traced that opinion back to a 2023 performance for then-Vice President Kamala Harris during a celebration marking 50 years of Hip Hop. Remembering the event, he joked that the outdoor gathering felt more like a “backyard barbecue” and said he was surprised guests never went inside.

Wayne Thought He Was Profiled By The White House At The Time

The rapper appeared to conflate the event with the White House. Harris actually hosted the celebration at the vice president’s official residence, Number One Observatory Circle, rather than at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Even so, Wayne said the experience gave him a better understanding of why Trump wants an indoor venue capable of hosting performances, ceremonies and other large-scale events.

Trump has defended the ballroom proposal as a practical upgrade that would allow the White House to accommodate state dinners, diplomatic receptions, and other official functions indoors. The project has also drawn criticism over its growing price tag, though the president has argued the expanded design is necessary and has said construction will be funded through a mix of private donations and taxpayer dollars.

David Anthony Burke, the 21-year-old artist known as D4vd, appeared Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Yahoo News reports that prosecutors began presenting evidence against him. Burke has pleaded not guilty to charges including first-degree murder, lewd acts involving a child under 14, and the mutilation of human remains.

Among the evidence presented was body camera footage recorded in February 2024, after 13-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was reported missing. In the video, D4vd told investigators he had met the teen only once and believed she was 18 years old. According to testimony, he also allowed deputies to search the Hollywood Hills home where he was staying, and investigators found nothing linking Rivas Hernandez to the residence at that time.

This Hearing Is Expected To Last For Days

Prosecutors contend Burke’s statements conflicted with evidence they later uncovered. They allege the two had maintained an ongoing relationship before Rivas Hernandez’s death in April 2025 and claim she was killed after threatening to disclose it. Those allegations have not been proven in court, and Burke’s attorneys have denied that he was responsible for her death.

The hearing also included testimony from a Los Angeles Police Department homicide detective, who described recovering Rivas Hernandez’s remains from a Tesla registered to Burke after the vehicle was towed to an impound lot in September 2025. Prosecutors introduced photographs documenting the discovery as part of their case. Those images were jarring, as they showed the young teen’s mutilated remains.

The preliminary hearing is expected to continue for several days as prosecutors outline additional evidence. At its conclusion, a judge will determine whether there is sufficient evidence for the case to move forward to trial. Burke remains in custody without bail.
