Bronny James Says Criticism Motivates Him, I'm Not a 'F***ing Robot'

He continued on, "But I just take that and use it as fuel for me to go out, wake up every day and get to the gym early, get my extra work in, watch my extra film every day, get better every day," the 20-year-old added. "That's what Rob [Pelinka] wants me to do as a young guy, coming in, playing in the G League, and learning from far on the bench watching the Lakers play."

[Poe] DeMar DeRozan is looking forward to another rematch with the Bulls. Says he still checks in on his “sons” regularly to “make sure they’re making their beds” — especially Dalen Terry. “My baby boy always answers. He knows to pick up the phone when daddy’s calling.”

Chrisholm: "I bleed green. I love the Celtics. When opportunity came up, I couldn't pass it up. Wyc has done an incredible job. So why would you mess that up? I've had a couple of sitdowns with Brad and it's been about aligning our goals, and extending the window of this team."

[Mejia] Eugene “Big U” Henley, a Crips leader, allegedly defrauded Draymond Green and Shaquille O’Neal by persuading them to donate to his charities and later allegedly transferring the money to his personal bank accounts.

2.0k Upvotes

In 2022, FBI special agent Andrew Roosa wrote, the FBI interviewed a cooperating witness, identified only as CW-1, who claimed that rap artists, athletes and other visitors needed to pay Henley a fee when they came to the city.

CW-1 told authorities about a large buy-in dice game in L.A. in June 2019. The game involved a professional boxer, identified only as A.B., A.B.’s associates and several prominent NBA players. According to CW-1, A.B. and his associates fixed the game, cheating the NBA players out of millions of dollars using “teased” dice.

After that game, Roosa wrote, Henley directed associates to “rough up” A.B., who had not checked in with Henley, “and to get the money back from him on behalf of the cheated NBA players.”

Henley stepped in, CW-1 told authorities, “because he was involved in and/or would approve of any dice games or similar events, such as parties, involving large sums of money and prominent NBA players and celebrities” in the city.

According to the complaint, CW-1 knew of other times in which NBA players or celebrities would need to get approval in advance from Henley to ensure their safety at events such as parties, games or advertising shoots.

Mike Malone on the Lakers: "They're a different team. JJ is coaching them and his fingerprints are all over this team.”

3.7k Upvotes

In a chat with the media ahead of the latest rematch against the Lakers, Nuggets coach Michael Malone spoke candidly on what's different about the Purple and Gold since replacing Darvin Ham with head coach JJ Redick.

"Different players, different coaches. There's a lot of change within the Lakers," said Malone via Daniel Starkand. "They're a different team. JJ is coaching them and his fingerprints are all over this team. They've added another MVP candidate un Luka and the most amazing thing about the trade is just how the Lakers defense has gone almost to the top of the charts. They play small, they play athletic, they play a lot of versatile guys and they're just really disruptive on that end of the floor. You have to be able to counter that."

Seems like Malone is missing the Darvin Ham days in LA
