Trae Young was one of the most exciting young players in the NBA this season as he had to carry a young Atlanta Hawks team that was among one of the league's worst. Regardless of the results out on the court, Young is in the conversation with Luka Doncic for rookie of the year. The young star is looking to make his Hawks team a contender next year and has already started his crusade to bring some big-name free agents to Atlanta. "If you're looking to have the ball in your hands, if you're looking to score a lot of points - I mean, a lot of players in the league know if you come play with me, I'm going to make sure I get you the ball," Young told Atlanta station 92.9 The Game. "I think that's something that attracts a lot of big players." Young also spoke about the rookie of the year trophy and how much it would mean to him if he won it. As he explains, many of the all-time greats have won the award so the honor is on his bucket list. "I would love to win it," Young said. "My idols growing up, a lot of them won it. Of course, it's on my list that I would like to win but that's not my main goal. But of course, I would love to win it." Do you think Young deserves rookie of the year or is Doncic more suited for it? View the full article

We've all seen what happens when anyone owes 50 Cent any sort of money. Fif's been publicly beefing with Teairra Mari after she refused the pay the rapper his judgment from their legal battle. He also nearly gave an executive producer of Power a heart attack after publicly calling him out over money he was owed. The point being, if you ever loan money from 50 Cent, make sure you pay it back immediately. Omari Hardwick recently sat down with Angie Martinez where he recounted the time when he loaned $20K from 50 Cent. He explained that Fif loaned him the money but his wife made it clear that Omari had to pay him back with interest. 50 Cent, with the heart of gold he has, loaned Omari money the following year knowing the actor was having some financial issues at the time. "50's like, 'I can't have my investment f'd up' and he looks at life like that. He was developing a friendship and a brotherhood with me but I was also his investment so he gave me another $20K and then I paid that back. Now, with more interest," he recounted. "I ain't trying to borrow a million dollars from him, ever. He doesn't play with his money but he also doesn't play with his investments so he was real big on throwing an arm around me, figuratively speaking." 50 Cent took to Instagram and praised Omari for telling that story while also reminding everyone else who's in debt with him that he's expecting his money after the weekend ends. "This guy @omarihardwickofficial is the truth He’s a man of his word. you other n***s best be coming up with my money by Monday," he wrote. View the full article

Many of Nipsey Hussle's peers have spoken out about his social impact since his death. Some of the most vocal rappers have been YG and The Game, who have made it their personal mission to keep Nip's legacy alive. T.I. also appreciates all that the Los Angeles rapper did for his community, recognizing him as a fellow Black investor during his recent visit to Capitol Hill with Charlamagne Tha God. Paul Morigi/Getty Images We reported overnight that Charla and Tip were involved in a meeting of the minds at Capitol Hill, discussing the topic of black communities and investments. Nipsey Hussle was one of the leaders in that, keeping his Marathon store in his Crenshaw neighbourhood and planning to open a number of affordable living units in the same area. T.I. compared his death to one of the original Avengers, saying that his loss is just as powerful as Iron Man's was to the group of superheroes. "It was an incredible loss," said T.I. of his peer's murder. "We’re like the Avengers of investment." The comparison is strange but considering just how vital Iron Man is to the Avengers, it's seriously validating all that Nipsey did to invest in Black communities. Tip went on to offer the Nipsey/Iron Man analogy before stating the following: "Everybody knows that Nipsey was pretty much the founder of the idea to bring everyone together who, you know, may individually be able to do great things and make a significant impact on their own in their communities. But for us to come together, we can impact so, so many more communities and spread our efforts so much wider." Do you agree with T.I.'s assessment?

Just yesterday we posted about Tom Hanks' visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show where he explained how his co-star in Toy Story 4 (Tim Allen) gave him warning texts about the emotional ending to the last film in the Disney franchise. "[He said] 'Wait till you see those last pages, tough one, tough one,'" Tom explained. "He said it like that, and it was. The last few sessions were, we were saying goodbye to Woody and Buzz and Bonnie's room and Andy and everybody and it was emotional." Kevin Winter/Getty Images Toy Story 4 hits theaters June 21st and before it's even arrived, it's clear that some people feel a certain type of way about movies and Tom managed to encounter one of them. In a new tweet posted by the actor, you can see him snapping a selfie with a guy who has Woody tattooed on his stomach and chest. "Well, howdy partner! Where’s Buzz? Hanx," Tom captioned the photo, clearly amused. "Finished my Buzz for Toy Story 4 today and it got emotional. Wonderful full body story. You are all going to love the work this incredible team at Pixar created. We are all going to love this story....man its got everything," Tom previously stated of the anticipated Disney film.

WWE superstars past and present, as well as wrestling fans worldwide, are remembering the life and career of WWE superstar Owen Hart today on the 20th anniversary of his tragic death. On May 23, 1999 Hart, playing the role of "The Blue Blazer," was scheduled for an Intercontinental Championship match against The Godfather at the "Over The Edge" PPV at Kember Arena in Kansas City Missouri. As part of his entrance, Hart was to be lowered down from the rafters with a quick release mechanism meant to have him fall flat on his face just before touching down in the ring. However, the release malfunctioned far too soon and Hart fell nearly 80 feet to his death. Hart's niece Natalya, his brother Bret, Mick Foley, Ken Shamrock, Kevin Owens and countless others paid tribute to Owen on social media on Thursday. Legendary wrestling announcer Jim Ross, who was ringside when the tragic accident took place, reflected on Owen's life during a special episode of his podcast this morning. Says Ross, "I've never met a guy in the wrestling business, or woman, that's more universally loved, liked and respected than Owen." Check out some of the heartfelt messages, memories and classic highlights of The King of Harts below. View the full article

The Kevin Durant and Chris Broussard beef is the NBA feud absolutely nobody asked for. Despite this, it has somehow become one of the biggest stories in sports over the last few days, with the FS1 analyst and Golden State Warriors superstar going back and forth on Twitter. It all started when Broussard said it would be KD's worst nightmare if the Warriors won a championship without him. Durant clapped back at Broussard for that on Twitter which led the NBA reporter to speak about the situation on Undisputed yesterday. Broussard claims to have had text conversations with Durant, who hopped on Twitter again to say Broussard doesn't even have his number. Last night, the FS1 journalist posted a video on Twitter where he says they actually messaged each other on Instagram and Twitter, with these conversations lasting up to five hours on three separate occasions. To further his point, Broussard was on Undisputed again today and claimed that Durant is a liar and that he would never make up a lie to mess up his integrity. In fact, Broussard asked FS1 to fire him if they can prove that he made up the story. "KD has every right to get on social media and clapback. What he doesn't have a right to do is lie," Broussard said. "If anybody can prove that I was lying yesterday, then fire me. Don't let me set foot in this building again." So far, Durant has yet to respond to the allegations that he lied, although we're sure something is coming soon. Perhaps this time the words will be coming from a burner account. What a shame that would be. View the full article

YG has been dropping off a few posts here and there, showing love to his fallen brother Nipsey Hussle and detailing just how much he misses him. YG was supposed to drop off his surprise album around the same time Nipsey passed but put the project on hold out of respect for the rapper. The "Big Bank" rapper recently paid a visit to Big Boy on Real 92.3, since his album 4REAL 4REAL arrives tomorrow, to discuss the latter and how he met Nipsey in the first place. "I met bruh at the studio in 2010, he was fresh outta jail," he explained at the ten-minute mark, as seen below. "We made some music same day, and after that, we kept running across each other just on some L.A. shit. He ended up being a big brother to me." Noel Vasquez/GC Images YG detailed how he was at [DJ] Mustard's house when he found out about the shooting from Todd Gurley, a Marathon Clothing store employee. "I just got up and left," he said. "They gave us the location of where they were taking bro [...] We were like 15-20 minutes away, and they were like, 'Homie ain't making it.'" He added: "That shit ain't right. Homie supposed to be here. I got a big question mark on my life right now. [...] How do God take somebody like that, we need him. I just don't get it, I'm not accepting it."

The feud between 50 Cent and Teairra Mari could soon be nearing its end. For months, the two have been beefing over $35K. At first, they were at odds because of a social post Fiddy uploaded last year when Teairra's sex tape leaked online. For some reason, the rapper thought it would be appropriate to share a still shot of the reality star in the middle of an extremely graphic sex act. After they went to court for a revenge porn lawsuit, 50 Cent ended up on top and was due $35K from the Love & Hip Hop singer. Since the legal win, Fif hasn't seen a cent of that money but finally, things are moving forward as Teairra gave up her financial statements in court recently. Gotham/Getty Images As reported by The Blast and confirmed by 50 Cent himself, the reality star has officially turned her bank records over to the rapper. This week, she attempted to prove that she was at her grandfather's funeral, which is why she skipped out on a court date, and now she's cooperating fully in the case. The bank statements will reportedly assist 50 Cent in determining how he can collect the $35K he is owed. Posting about the situation on his Instagram page, the artist suggested that Teairra may be "broke" out of convenience. "So you say your broke, well I’m gonna have to look into this because I say I’m broke when I need to be," he said. "I want my fucxin money,by Monday." Will 50 Cent ever get his money? Stay tuned to find out. View the full article

NBA fans were minding their own business this week when all of a sudden they realized the Houston Rockets Twitter account had been suspended on Monday. Fans weren't sure what happened as the suspension seemingly came out of nowhere. In a report from the Houston Chronicle, it was revealed that the suspension actually came in light of the fact that they were allegedly using copyrighted music in a few of their Twitter videos. Today, the Rockets twitter account was reinstated, although it lost about 1 million followers in the process. They started Monday at 2.8 million but quickly went down to 1.91 million. The Rockets should get their followers back though as it usually takes a full 24 hours before a previously suspended account gets all of its followers. "Twitter will respond to reports of alleged copyright infringement, such as allegations concerning the unauthorized use of a copyrighted image as a profile or header photo, allegations concerning the unauthorized use of a copyrighted video or image uploaded through our media hosting services, or Tweets containing links to allegedly infringing materials," explains Twitter in their copyright policy. The Rockets Twitter account posted a GIF today in relation to their suspension, making mention of the fact that they're pretty happy that the whole thing has been resolved. If the team was still in the playoffs, this ban definitely would have been a bigger problem. View the full article

Last week, eccentric musician, Tyler, The Creator, dropped his highly anticipated IGOR album on fans, which showcased his skills as an MC, as well as his singing abilities throughout. The musician took to Twitter to send IGOR listeners a message, letting them know not to press play with the expectations of hearing a typical rap album: "don’t go into this expecting a rap album. Don’t go into this expecting any album. Just go. Jump into it. I believe the first listen works best all the way through, no skips. Front to back. No distractions either. No checking your phone no watching tv no holding convo, full attn towards the sounds where you can form your own opinion and feelings towards the album." The album, which certainly had its own unique sound, was met with praise though, even projecting a sales battle win over DJ Khaled's Father Of Asahd, which was released around the same time. The "Flower Boy" artist also gave a grand rollout to the single “EARFQUAKE,” from the album - which features vocals from R&B legend Charlie Wilson and ad-libs from Playboi Carti. The single also has a video, which features Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross and Tyler in an unforgettable blonde wig/blue suit moment, so it may be safely said that the track is a big deal. According to a statement made by the artist during a live performance of his full album during an intimate show held in Los Angeles, though, the song could’ve been a much bigger deal if Tyler's original vision for the track had gone to plan. Apple Music broadcasted the show live, and during his performance, Tyler claimed that he’d written “EARFQUAKE” with Justin Bieber in mind, adding that he had also offered the song to Rihanna. Both Bieber and Rihanna apparently rejected it though. So the next time you hear the track you can attempt to imagine what might’ve been. View the full article
