    Beyond the Hype: The Real Story Behind LeBron’s Dunk Contest Absence

    LeBron

    LeBron James’ reasons for avoiding the dunk contest throughout his career have finally been revealed.

    According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, who has covered James closely his entire career, part of James’ refusal to participate was because he wasn’t selected as an All-Star in his rookie season.

    The other factor was LeBron not considering himself to be an especially good dunk contest performer.

    “He pouted and didn’t do the dunk contest,” Windhorst said on his podcast this week, really referring to the fallout from James missing out on All-Star selection as a rookie.

    “Sprite was the sponsor of the dunk contest, tried cash incentives to get him to do it. Part of the reason was he didn’t think he was good in dunk contests.”

    In terms of LeBron not being at his best in dunk contests, Windhorst pointed to the McDonald’s All-American dunk contest that LeBron participated in the previous year.

    James was awarded the title but Windhorst suggested it was a rigged vote, with Shannon Brown being the deserving winner but LeBron getting some extremely favourable hometown treatment.

    NBA fans and media members have long campaigned for James to throw his hat in the ring for the dunk contest, especially after he said he would do exactly that during an infamous interview in 2009.

    But the people never got what they wanted, and with LeBron now 39 years old, they almost certainly never will.

  • Travis Kelce tells Jason ‘we’ve got to talk about’ his wild antics in Buffalo in teaser for New Heights… after Eagles star stole the headlines from Taylor Swift with his shirtless celebrations

    Travis Kelce tells Jason ‘we’ve got to talk about’ his wild antics in Buffalo in teaser for New Heights… after Eagles star stole the headlines from Taylor Swift with his shirtless celebrations

    The Kelce brothers will address Jason’s wild antics in Buffalo on the upcoming episode of New Heights after Travis hilariously joked ‘we’ve got to talk about it’ in a teaser clip on Tuesday.

    Jason stole the show on Sunday when he embarked on a wild day out at the divisional round game between Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills.

    The Philadelphia Eagles center, making the most of his off-season, was initially filmed downing drinks with Bills fans at the tailgate.

    Jason, who is expected to retire, was then pictured meeting Taylor Swift for the first time in their hospitality suite alongside wife Kylie, with their three young daughters watching the game at home.

    He was then seen chugging more beers while half-naked – despite the freezing conditions – during the Chiefs’ 27-24 win.

    He whipped his shirt off in 20 degree weather after his younger brother scored the first of two touchdowns on the night in Buffalo.

    Jason then climbed out through the window of the VIP suite into the crowd and necked a beer before returning to the suite – back through the window.

    The 36-year-old also lifted a young Taylor Swift fan into the air so she could meet the pop sensation, who was in Buffalo to watch her boyfriend Travis.

    In the teaser for the new episode, which will be released on Wednesday, Travis says: ‘Jason. We gotta talk about it, bud.’

    Jason, playing dumb, replies: ‘Talk about what?’

    Travis then bursts out laughing before the clip ends.

    Jason’s wife Kylie reportedly dragged him back into line during his shirtless antics.

    Patrick Mahomes‘ dad was forced to play messenger between the couple and relay her message to ‘get his a** back’ in the VIP suite.

    ‘Hey, Kylie said get your a** back in here,’ Mahomes’ father, Pat, said while he stood on the edge of the window.

    A shirtless Jason also got a picture with Tammy Reid, the wife of Chiefs head coach Andy, during the mayhem.

    Reid spoke to media upon his return to Kansas City on Monday as he begins to prepare for Sunday’s Baltimore Ravens showdown and was asked about the antics of Jason, who he used to coach in Philadelphia.

    And it turns out that when Reid’s wife of over 30 years, Tammy, saw Jason having the time of his life, she made sure to get a picture with him to remember the moment.

    ‘Yeah my wife saw him, she took a picture with him, I saw the pictures – no shirt on, no,’ Reid said.

    ‘Listen, he’s the best – a great kid, a great father, that’s probably what I’m most proud of him for.

    ‘He’s got a great wife and kids and everything. He’s done a nice job with that.’

    Jason is currently contemplating whether to play on in the NFL after reportedly telling his Eagles teammates he was retiring after they lost in the playoffs to Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

    It is not yet known if he will make his way to Baltimore for the next Chiefs game but he might find it hard to stay away.

    If the Chiefs win, they will be in the Super Bowl against the winner of San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions.

    50 Cent continues to clown Diddy on social media with a video of Puff patting Jay-Z’s butt during a concert.

    50 Cent Clowns Diddy With Video of Puff Patting Jay-Z’s Butt

    On Monday (Nov. 27), 50 Cent hit up Instagram with the latest set of jokes in his two-week-long trolling session aimed at Diddy. Fif took the time out of his busy international touring schedule to dig up concert footage from Screamfest ’07, a 2007 summer tour 50 performed on with T.I.

    In the clip below, 50 Cent is seen walking around the stage while T.I. addresses that particular evening’s special guests, Diddy and Jay-Z. As the camera pans over to Tip and Jay, Diddy, dressed in a flashy yellow jacket, reaches out and smacks Hov’s backside multiple times.

    “20 machine guns, only get 10 months, Diddy in the Back, pattin on n***as butts,” 50 Cent captions the video. “Nah I ain’t wit it, I ain’t never been wit it. Barz LOL.”

    Jay-Z isn’t the only rapper involved in 50 Cent’s most recent shot fired at Diddy. T.I., who headlined Screamfest ’07 and appears in the clip below, also caught a stray in the process. The rhyme with which 50 captioned the butt-patting video is in reference to G-Unit’s 2008 song “You So Tough.” On the track, 50 Cent uses his lyrics to imply that Tip is a police informant.

    “What’s today’s mathematics?” 50 Cent raps. “S**t ain’t addin’ up/Get knocked with 10 machine guns, only get 12 months.”

    Why Is 50 Cent Going So Hard at Diddy Recently?

    50 Cent has been going in on Diddy nonstop for nearly two weeks in the wake of a disturbing lawsuit brought against the Bad Boy Entertainment mogul by his former girlfriend Cassie on Nov. 16. The singer accused Diddy of years of sexual assault and physical abuse but the lawsuit was settled out of court within 24 hours. In the days since, 50 Cent has relentlessly taunted Puff with social media posts.
