Heading into the 2019 NBA Draft, Tacko Fall's status was uncertain. While he may be one of the 40 tallest people in the world, there were doubts that he could keep up with the pace necessary to play consistent minutes in the NBA. In the end, Fall ended up going undrafted but was signed as a free agent by the Boston Celtics. Fall started the season on the Celtics roster but since he's on a two-way contract, the team decided recently to send him to the G-League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws. According to Sean Deveney of Heavy.com, Fall was recently asked about what it's like playing in the G-League and how he feels about players trying to come after him. In order to stop a guy like Fall, you have to be physical but as he explained, that might not be the best idea. Emilee Chinn/Getty Images “If you’re going to do it, be ready because it’s not going to go your way," Fall said. It's unclear what he actually plans to do in these situations but his size is enough to make you want to rethink the aggression. Fall can block you just as easily as he can dunk on you so if you want to get on his good side, maybe it would be best to exercise caution. Hopefully, Fall can impress with the Red Claws and get himself back in the NBA. View the full article

North Carolina rapper DaBaby is having himself a year. The "Suge" star has benefitted strongly from the success of his two studio albums released this year, cementing himself as one of the top forces in hip-hop. Anything he does these days is sure to gain him attention, becoming a celebrity before our very eyes. At the top of 2019, Baby was still a silent shooter, working more prominently on the underground circuit but throughout recent months, he's hit a soft spot in the industry and will be here for a long time. During a recent video segment with Bootleg Kev and DJ Hed of Real 92.3 LA, two lucky festival attendees got the chance to meet DaBaby backstage but the hook-up ruffled some feathers within their own personal relationship. Brad Barket/Getty Images In a clip that's going viral across social media, a woman is asked if she would ever cheat on her boyfriend with a recording artist on the card for Camp Flog Gnaw. She responded that she would consider being unfaithful if DaBaby ever popped up in her direct messages. Then, she was offered the chance to hang with the rapper backstage under one condition: her boyfriend was not allowed to join them. To the surprise of everybody watching, she actually went along with it, ditching her man to meet DaBaby. The rest was history. You can tell homeboy is pissed and, to be honest, we wouldn't be surprised if they are no longer together. Perhaps DaBaby should adopt the "Mr Steal Yo Girl" moniker? View the full article

Dave East's Survival is upon us, and while it didn't exactly set the charts ablaze, it remains a welcome addition to the New York rapper's catalog. Those who have spent some time with the project can attest to its quality, and it may very well be his most well-constructed body of work thus far. In any case, East has been keeping busy on the press run, culminating in a recent stopover at Funkmaster Flex's studio. With the homies King Shooter, D Jones, and Rich Rhymer on deck, East sets it off with some gritty bars, leading by example in the process. "I asked my mother bout my first breath, my first steps," raps East. "I asked if I used to lie a lot or if I cried a lot / Unk had enough evil inside to make the church sweat / said he was a war vet, me and my pops ain't get along." From that point, East passes the baton to his squadron, who proceed to body the set accordingly. Be sure to check this one out now, and show some love to Dave East in the comments. Quotable Lyrics I asked my mother bout my first breath, my first steps I asked if I used to lie a lot or if I cried a lot Unk had enough evil inside to make the church sweat Said he was a war vet, me and my pops ain't get along View the full article

Teanna Trump has been known for her exploits in the porn industry for a while now and she hasn't been afraid to talk about her sexual history. With that being said, there have been times where she was close to exposing some of the professional athletes she has been with. For instance, she admitted to filming a sex tape with an Indiana Pacers player when she was just 16 years old. There was plenty of speculation as to who this player was but no one actually knows for sure. Now, it appears as though Trump is calling out a player on the Oklahoma City Thunder. In a now-deleted tweet, Trump wrote: "your player needs to PAY ME what he owes me. @okcthunder." After deleting the tweet, Trump wrote: "You gotta do what you gotta do." Which led to some questions in her comments. One user, @thelemoncarl, explained that Trump was on her IG live recently and spoke about how she was flown out by a Thunder player who promised to pay her for the flights and the sex. As it turns out, he never actually did that and now she wants what she was allegedly owed. If she doesn't get it, his name might be exposed for the world to see. As this story develops, it will be interesting to see if Trump is called on her bluff and if any of this info makes it to light. [Via] View the full article

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard CJ McCollum led the team to a road win against the San Antonio Spurs over the weekend, as he poured in a game-high 32 points to go along with seven assists and six rebounds. During his post-game interview following Portland's 121-116 victory, McCollum asked fans to pray for his Aunt Renaa. Just hours later, the 28-year old guard took to twitter to inform his fans that his aunt had passed away. McCollum and the Blazers are now 5-8 for the season with five games remaining on their current six-game road trip. Up next is a matchup against the Houston Rockets on Monday night, but newly acquired forward Carmelo Anthony will not be making his Blazers' debut against his former team. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Melo isn't expected to play until Tuesday night's game against New Orleans, at the earliest. "He looks like he's changed his body a little bit," McCollum said of Melo, per ESPN. "Started lifting more on his legs, his lower half. He was dunking this summer. He doesn't usually dunk, so that's how I knew he was feeling good. I don't know if it was because of the work or because he's been off or a combination, but he looked like he had new life, more bounce in his step." View the full article
