Becky Lynch Accused Of Stealing From Ric Flair

Posted: 18 Dec 2021 12:06 PM PST

Ric Flair has said that no wrestler has ever stolen from him as much as Becky Lynch has. It's the latest in a series of shots the two have fired off at each other.

Flair is an often imitated wrestler but when he was asked on his podcast who has stolen from him the most, his answer was a little surprising.

"Who has stolen from me the most? Like The Man (Becky Lynch)? (laughs)," Flair responded.

Scroll down to learn why Flair feels Becky Lynch has stolen from him the most.

Becky Lynch And Ric Flair Feud Over "The Man"

One of Becky Lynch's most popular nicknames is "The Man". Ric Flair has taken this as a version of his own trademarked phrase "To Be The Man, You've Got To Beat The Man" - with Flair being "The Man" referred to.

Flair has mentioned that he contacted the WWE about Lynch using the name and noted that it infringed on his intellectual property rights. He would eventually drop the issue but has also taken several shots at Lynch in regards to it.

Becky Lynch And Ric Flair Take Shots At One Another On Social Media

Things started getting testy between The Nature Boy and Lynch before Survivor Series this year where Lynch and Ric's daughter Charlotte Flair were to face each other.

There was a segment on Smackdown that ended up going "off-script" between Charlotte and Becky, who had once been good friends behind the scenes. Flair was supposed to hand her title belt to Lynch as part of them each switching shows, but Flair reportedly felt the segment made her look weak and dropped the title belt instead of handing it to Becky. It was later reported that Lynch and Charlotte got into an argument backstage regarding this.

Ric Flair then sent out a Tweet telling Becky "There's not enough choreography in the business" to save her, potentially alluding to the fact the match might become a shoot.

Becky Lynch Calls Ric Flair "Kind Of Sad"

Becky Lynch then appeared on Ariel Helwani's podcast and was asked about Flair's Tweet. Lynch noted that she decided not to respond to it because Flair had become "kind of sad".

"I saw that tweet — the one that you're referring to, the one that I'm kind of referring to — and I looked at it, and I wrote out a response that would have really been quite biting, and I deleted it, and I let it go, because I think it's really sad," Lynch said.

"Because this is a legend at one point, who's now — this legend, 16 time World champion Ric Flair is now jealous of me? And that's cool. It's cool for me. And is now trying to use me to get clout, you know, to promote whatever he has going on next, because he's dug himself into a hole with other things. So I kind of just was like, 'Ah, let me let him...' because it's kind of sad, you know? It's kind of sad."

Becky Lynch And Charlotte Flair Are No Longer Friends Backstage

The dispute between Ric Flair and Becky Lynch might have grown out of a falling out that has occurred between Becky and Charlotte.

Lynch also spoke about why her and Charlotte Flair are no longer friends during that same interview with Ariel Helwani.

"We were the best of friends and it all worked when she was on top and I was below," Lynch said. "We could all see the way things were going in 2019 and people were really rallying behind me and this turn would put me in a different league and I don't think she could take that and hasn't been able to take it."

Justin Bieber's $10 Million Lawsuit Against Woman Who Alleged Sexual Assault To Settle Privately

Posted: 18 Dec 2021 11:56 AM PST

Justin Bieber is working to privately settle his $10 million lawsuit against a woman who accused him of sexual assault back in 2014, Radar Online reported exclusively earlier this week.

The Canadian singer, 27, and the defendant, who reportedly goes by Danielle, have agreed to work out the lawsuit in private meditation after attending a status hearing on November 3 with judge Terry Green, stated the media outlet, citing court documents.

Bieber sued Danielle last year, claiming her accusations were false and saying he was with ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez at the time the alleged incident occurred.

Details below.

Selena Is His Alibi

Bieber's 2020 lawsuit against Danielle came after the woman took to social media to accuse the pop star of sexually assaulting her in a Four Seasons Hotel room in Austin, Texas, after a music event on March 9, 2014.

The singer said the "malicious" claim was "factually impossible" and nothing more than "outrageous, fabricated lies," saying he has "indisputable documentary evidence" to prove he was not at the hotel on the night in question, TMZ reported last year.

He Kept The Receipts

While the "Peaches" pop star admitted he was in Austin at the time, he said he didn't spend the night at the Four Seasons. According to Bieber, he and Gomez were at the SXSW and left the event together to retire to a nearby rental property for the night.

Bieber, who dated Gomez on and off between 2010 and 2018, said he held on to the receipts from the night of March 9, 2014, which he insisted he spent with his now-ex. Furthermore, the singer alleged that Danielle concocted her story after public reports that he ate at the Four Seasons restaurant the following day.

Not His Only Lawsuit

Danielle is not the only woman to have accused Bieber of sexual assault. Around the same time, another social media user named Khadidja alleged the singer assaulted her at the Langham Hotel in New York after the 2015 Met Gala. According to Khadidja, the alleged incident occurred on May 5, 2015, at around 2:30 a.m.

Likewise, Bieber has sued Khadidja also asking for $10 million in damages. The pop star claimed her accusation, which was also done via social media, is "an elaborate hoax," stating he was at a private party until 4 a.m.

'Outrageous, Fabricated Lies'

According to court documents cited by TMZ, Bieber claims he has photographic evidence and several witnesses who can confirm he was at the private party until 4 a.m., after which he went to a hot dog stand. The singer, who is now married to supermodel Hailey Bieber alleged the 2:30 a.m. attack was an "impossibility – a poor, but damaging, fabrication" by Khadidja.

Bieber claimed the woman, who he said is a superfan who waits for him outside hotels, actually admitted she has never met him in person in tweets posted after the date of the alleged sexual assault.

The star is suing both women for attempting to ruin his reputation with their damning social media posts. He also said he believes the two social media accounts are either run by the same person or have coordinated their efforts to disparage him.

Khadidja is represented by powerhouse attorney Neville Johnson, who argued her comments are protected by the first and fourteenth amendments, Radar Online previously reported.

'All American' Spinoff: Everything We Know About the Upcoming Series

Posted: 18 Dec 2021 11:49 AM PST

The success of CW series All American has spawned a spinoff series titled All American: Homecoming, giving fans of the acclaimed series another round of sports drama.

The pilot of the new series already aired as part All American season 3, showing viewers a glimpse of exicting new characters and what's to come.

Spearheaded by Nkechi Okoro Carroll, who wrote and produced the original series, the spinoff reportedly has "all of the elements that work so incredibly well on the original series and has spun off into something that is even more exciting."

Scroll down to learn more of this upcoming show.

What Is 'All American: Homecoming' About?

The new series will be following the story of Simone Hicks (Geffri Maya) and Damon Sims (Peyton Alex Smith), a baseball player at Bringston, who has dreams of becoming a big baseball star.

In the recently released trailer, there seems to be an instant attraction between the two college athletes when they run into each other in their dorm. This could point to a love triangle since Simone is still involved with Jordan, who she left back home.

Aside from the love triangle, the show will likely focus on the challenges of college sports.

All American: Homecoming Cast

The primary stars of the show are Geffri Maya, who has already been introduced in the original All American, and newcomer Peyton Alex Smith, who has appeared in TV shows Legacies and The Quad.

They will be joined by Kelly Jenrette, Cory Hardrict, Sylvester Powell (Jessie "JR" Raymond in All American), Netta Walker, and Camille Hyde.

There could be other characters from Simone's old world that would be crossing over as well, as Carroll previously told TVLine, "Simone will not be the only character recognizable from the Beverly Hills/Crenshaw world that we see land over at Bringston for college."

Geffri Maya Expresses Gratitude

In an Instagram post, Maya expressed her excitement over being part of the series.

"I've really been trying to find the words to say... All I can think about is the opportunity to encourage & celebrate black excellence," wrote Maya on Instagram.

"Going to an HBCU is one thing— creating a show honouring the legacy of halls built for us, by us, by those with purpose & dreams BIGGER than their own...I have endless gratitude for this moment."

All American: Homecoming is set to premiere on February 21, 2022 at 9 p.m, right after All American returns to resume its fourth season.

NBA Rumors: Three Trade Deadline Targets For Phoenix Suns

Posted: 18 Dec 2021 11:35 AM PST

The Phoenix Suns entered the 2021-22 NBA season with the goal of fully dominating the Western Conference and winning the NBA championship title. As of now, the Suns continue to prove that their last season's appearance in the NBA Finals wasn't a fluke. After their 118-98 victory over the Washington Wizards, they are now tied with the Golden State Warriors in the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference with a 23-5 record.

However, despite their current standings, the Suns are still expected to be active on the market before the 2022 NBA trade deadline.

Potential Trade Targets For Suns

It wouldn't be a surprise if the Suns are still not contented with their current roster. Being the best team during the regular season doesn't give them any guarantee that they could easily dominate in the playoffs. As of now, they should grab all the available help that they could get to strengthen their chances of capturing the Larry O'Brien Trophy this season.

In the past weeks, the Suns have already been linked to several big names who are rumored to be available on the trading block. These include Domantas Sabonis and Caris LeVert of the Indiana Pacers and Thaddeus Young of the San Antonio Spurs.

Suns Add Floor-Spacing Big Man

Sabonis started to be linked to the Suns after reports spread that he wants out of the rebuilding Pacers. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Suns have "shown interest in recent years" in Sabonis. Though they currently have DeAndre Ayton manning the starting center position, trading for Sabonis would still make a lot of sense for the Suns.

Unlike Ayton, Sabonis is capable of spacing the floor and flexible enough to play as a power forward or a center. To acquire Sabonis, Collin Helwig of Fansided's Valley of the Suns suggested that the Suns could offer the Pacers a trade package that includes Jalen Smith, Abdel Nader, Dario Saric, and a 2023 first-round pick.

Caris LeVert Temporarily Fills Devin Booker's Spot

LeVert would be another intriguing target for the Suns before the 2022 NBA trade deadline. If they would need to choose between him and Sabonis, it would make more sense for the Suns to trade for LeVert, especially now that Devin Booker is still sidelined with a hamstring injury. While Booker is recovering, LeVert could temporarily fill the hole that he left at the starting shooting guard position.

LeVert would give the Suns another very reliable scorer, a great on-court facilitator, and a decent perimeter defender.

Suns Obtain A Veteran Frontcourt Reinforcement

Of all the three potential trade deadline targets for the Suns, Young could provide the least impact. Unlike Sabonis and LeVert, Young is already on the downside of his NBA career and has shown a decline in his game. However, there are also some benefits from targeting Young over Sabonis and LeVert.

Young doesn't only have more experience, but he's also expected to be a cheaper target for the Suns. A trade package centered on Jalen Smith is expected to be enough to convince the Spurs to send Young to Phoenix this season.

Roman Reigns' Controversial History At The Royal Rumble: A Look Back

Posted: 18 Dec 2021 10:56 AM PST

Roman Reigns has had some controversial moments at Royal Rumbles in the past. The first Royal Rumble match he ever participated was arguably the most controversial rumble ever as well.

In 2014, WWE fans were in love with Daniel Bryan (aka Bryan Danielson). They wanted him to win the Royal Rumble and many expected that he would. When the final entrant in the match was unveiled to be Rey Mysterio, however, the fans realized that Bryan wasn't even going to be entered into the rumble that year. They booed the rest of it unmercifully. The 2014 Royal Rumble will go down as the one fans completely rejected outright.

Roman Reigns was a member of the Shield back then. He made it all the way to the final 2 entrants in the match before being eliminated by Batista. He also eliminated a then-record 12 wrestlers. How well he did made it clear WWE saw him as a future star, but all of it was lost in the sea of boos that echoed throughout the arena.

Reigns would again hear boos in the 2015 Rumble match, only this time they were directed at him. Scroll down to learn more.

Roman Reigns Booed At The 2015 Royal Rumble

By the time the 2015 Royal Rumble rolled around, it was clear that WWE wanted to create Roman Reigns as the next top babyface in the company. It's a role previously played by Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, the Rock, and John Cena. The fans were not getting behind Reigns in that way, however.

The 2015 Royal Rumble would again be booed by the live fans but this time the boos were directed at Reigns. He won the Royal Rumble match, he was supposed to be a "good guy" but the fans rejected the result for the second year in a row.

WWE even had Reigns' cousin, the Rock, come out to raise his hand in victory. Surely, WWE fans wouldn't boo Roman if the Rock was raising his hand, right? Even the Rock gave the crowd a curious glance as he realized both he and his cousin were being booed by the WWE Universe.

Roman Reigns Lasts Almost An Hour In The 2016 Royal Rumble

By the 2016 Royal Rumble, WWE had been trying for 2 years to make Roman Reigns the top star in the company. Try as they might, the fans kept rejecting him as a babyface. Much like the reaction John Cena would get, there were definitely fans of his but they were drowned out by those who just wanted to boo him.

Roman entered #1 in the Royal Rumble this year and when his music hit, the fans pelted him with boos once again. He then lasted in the match for just under 1-hour, worrying his detractors that he might win the match again. He made it to the final 3 before he was eliminated by Triple H, who had entered last.

Roman Reigns Enters Last, Almost Wins 2017 Royal Rumble

By the 2017 Royal Rumble, WWE had been fighting with its own fanbase for 3 years over Roman Reigns. WWE badly wanted him to be their next Rock, John Cena, or Hulk Hogan. WWE fans just kept booing him, though. In 2017, it almost seemed like WWE decided to troll its own fanbase over it.

Much like Triple H had done the year before, Roman Reigns entered this Rumble match as the last entry. The last entry is more of a heel spot than a babyface one. It's for wrestlers to gain an unfair advantage. But Reigns was supposed to be a top babyface.

Then Reigns eliminated crowd favorites like Chris Jericho and The Undertaker. Fans booed their vocal cords sore assuming Reigns was going to win the match again. Then Randy Orton came out of nowhere and eliminated him to win. Reigns had been the last person eliminated.

2017 was his 4th Rumble. So far, he had been eliminated last in 2014, won it in 2015, eliminated 2nd last in 2016, and then eliminated last in 2017. He was always there at the end for 4 straight years and it wouldn't be the last time either.

The Roman Reigns Experiment Comes To An End

By the 2018 Royal Rumble, something was changing in WWE. Roman as the top star started to feel less of a priority. That was made clear in the closing moments of the first-ever women's Royal Rumble match when Ronda Rousey came out and pointed to the WrestleMania sign. WWE had its new top babyface it was behind, and it wasn't Roman Reigns.

Reigns once again made it all the way to the end of the match, being the final person eliminated by winner Shinsuke Nakamura. Once again the crowd booed him and cheered for his elimination.

Reigns missed the 2019 Royal Rumble as he battled Leukemia for the 2nd time in his life. A month after the show he came out on WWE TV and announced he was in remission. The crowd cheered loudly at this news.

WWE had moved on to pushing other guys to that top babyface role by then. In 2020, one of those wrestlers, Drew McIntyre, would win the Royal Rumble by once again eliminating Roman Reigns last.

Come 2021, Reigns had finally turned heel. Few will question that he has excelled in the role. Now, the fans are supposed to boo him and he's great at getting them to do exactly that. He didn't take part in the Rumble that year, instead he defended the Universal title against Kevin Owens. He still holds that title to this day. He'll possibly defend it at the 2022 Royal Rumble event.

NFL Rumors: Bill Belichick Breaks The Silence On Demaryius Thomas

Posted: 18 Dec 2021 10:20 AM PST

No one is safe from death. Not even athletes or millionaires, and sometimes all it takes to remind us that is a young, successful celebrity suddenly passing away.

Unfortunately, that was the case with former Denver Broncos star Demaryius Thomas, who was found dead at just 33 years old after suffering a cardiac arrest.

Thomas, who won one Super Bowl and also played for the Houston Texans, New England Patriots, and New York Jets; was one of the most beloved and respected people around the NFL.

Belichick Says Thomas Was Passionate And Hard-Working

Thomas touched a lot of hearts during his 10-year tenure in the league.

Even coach Bill Belichick, who didn't spend that much time with him, had nothing but praise about his character and attitude:

"That's a very sad and unfortunate situation. Our thoughts and prayers to his family. Great kid, who didn't have an easy start to his life. He embraced every opportunity that he had and had relationships with everybody from the top all the way down to the lowest ballboy," Belichick said, per MassLive.com.

Bill Belichick Says No One Could Say Anything Bad About Thomas

Belichick raved about how hard-working and easy-going Thomas was, stating that no one could ever say a bad word about him:

"He always had a smile on his face. Worked hard. Team player. A very passionate and compassionate individual," the legendary coach added. "He did everything you asked him to do. Everybody has a ton of respect for DT. Josh knew him well, better than anyone in this locker room, but we had a lot of people who had relationships with him. They were all positive. I don't think anyone could ever find a bad word to say about him. We think about all he went through, what he accomplished in his life and what he had to overcome. He was a great player and a better person."

Thomas' Memorial To Be Held At Georgia

Thomas, a bit of a living legend in his community, will have an open memorial in Georgia near his high school, with his family encouraging people to pay their respects and give them a final goodbye on Saturday:

"Thomas's family has asked people to line Jackson Street and Bellevue Avenue in Dublin, as a procession takes Thomas from Dudley Funeral Home to West Laurens High School, where Thomas played," reported KDVR. "His family asked the community to wear Thomas's favorite colors: blue and green, and orange and blue."

Teddy Bridgewater Was Glad To Honor Thomas

The Broncos honored Thomas in the best way with a statement win over the Detroit Lions.

Before the game, both teams took the field with 10 guys, with the Lions declining the delay of game penalty to pay their respects to the late wideout:

"It was great to go out there with 10 guys and understand that he was out there with us," Bridgewater said after the game.

The Broncos have a resurging defense and have fought their way back to playoff contention and now, they have a bigger purpose and the ultimate motivation to get the job done.

Isaiah Thomas, Russell Westbrook Both Available In Lakers' Game Against Timberwolves

Posted: 17 Dec 2021 10:04 PM PST

After a long wait, veteran point guard Isaiah Thomas will have another opportunity to prove that he still deserves to play in the NBA. Recently, the Los Angeles Lakers announced that Thomas will be returning to the team on a 10-day contract. The Lakers initially made the decision to bring Thomas back after their starting point guard, Russell Westbrook, entered the league's health and safety protocols.

With Westbrook in isolation, Thomas is expected to temporarily fill the hole that he would be leaving in the Lakers' backcourt.

Russell Westbrook Cleared To Play Against Timberwolves

However, recent reports suggest that Westbrook is also available when Thomas makes his season debut with the Purple and Gold. According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Westbrook recently tested out of the NBA's COVID-19 protocols and is set to play when the Lakers go up against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night at Target Center.

After being tested for COVID-19, Westbrook flew from Dallas to Minnesota to wait for the results. Luckily, the two tests that the league required to allow him to play went back negative.

Isaiah Thomas Still Expected To Receive Playing Time

Though Westbrook is cleared to play, Thomas is still expected to receive a decent playing time when he plays his first game with the Lakers in the 2021-22 NBA season. While Westbrook's COVID-19 test went back negative, there are several Lakers' players who entered the league's health and safety protocols that remain in isolation.

These include Austin Reaves, Kendrick Nunn, Talen Horton-Tucker, Malik Monk, Dwight Howard, and Avery Bradley. With most of their guards out, Coach Frank Vogel could utilize Thomas as the primary backup for Westbrook in their upcoming game against the Timberwolves.

Isaiah Thomas' On-Court Impact On Lakers

Thomas may remain a defensive liability due to his height, but Cooper Halpern of SB Nation's Silver Screen and Roll believes that he could make an immediate impact for the Lakers on the offensive end of the floor.

"Less than 24 hours before the Lakers signed him, Isaiah Thomas somehow summoned what appeared to be the 2016-17 version of himself," Halpern wrote. "In his first game as a member of the Nuggets' G League affiliate, the Grand Rapids Gold, Thomas poured in 42 points, six rebounds, eight assists, and two steals for a stat line that would have compared favorably to almost any of the best ones he posted in the NBA."

Will The Lakers Keep Isaiah Thomas?

While he's only on a 10-day contract, there remains a possibility for the Lakers to extend Thomas' stint with the team in the 2021-22 NBA season. If Thomas plays well in their game against the Timberwolves and succeeding matchups, the Lakers could offer him a second 10-day contract.

Vogel and his staff could use that time to evaluate whether they should make waive a player to create an official roster spot for Thomas or let him go and become an unrestricted free agent once again.

How Hailey, Justin Bieber’s Star Signs Make Them The Ideal Couple

Posted: 17 Dec 2021 10:01 PM PST

When it comes to celebrity romances, Hailey Bieber and her husband Justin Bieber have become one of the most iconic couples in the world of showbiz.

The chemistry and affection between them are unmistakable and most of their fans love seeing them together. When the "Baby" singer got married to Hailey in 2018, fans couldn't control their excitement and flooded the comments section of the two love birds' social media accounts with countless love-filled messages.

And now, a celebrity astrologer has revealed that even the stars have made it clear that Justin, who is a Pisces, and Hailey, whose zodiac sign is Sagittarius, are true soulmates.

Keep reading to find out how their astrological compatibility makes them the perfect couple.

Best Friends

Long before they got engaged and married to each other, Hailey and Justin were best friends. As J-14 explains, Justin and Hailey met for the first time in 2009 when Haily was only 13 years of age.

It was Hailey's father, Steve Baldwin, who introduced the two teenagers backstage at the Today Show in 2009. After that, they became best friends.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that the two immediately became friends following their first meeting. After all, Pisces and Sagittarius tend to develop strong friendships despite the differences in their personalities, according to Thought Catalog.

Opposites Attract

As explained by Thought Catalog, while Pisces and Sagittarius are two mutable signs of the zodiac, they can share starkly different personalities and tastes.

Per the article, while Pisces are emotionally sensitive and tend to deal with others softly, Sagittarius are blunt and not always concerned about others' feelings.

This was seemingly the case with Hailey and Justin. In 2019, Hailey told Vogue that despite everyone suspecting her to be one, she was never a Belieber — a term used for Justin's fans.

"I was never a superfan, of him or of anyone. It was never that crazed, screaming thing. I didn't think about it in any kind of way except for the fact that he was cute. Everybody had a crush on him. But for the first few years, we had a weird age gap," said Hailey, according to Vogue.

Supporting Each Other

Renowned celebrity astrologer Aliza Kelly recently revealed that being Sagittarius and Pisces, Hailey and Justin make the perfect soulmates, per PEOPLE.

Kelly told the publication that due to the healing nature of the romantic relationship that Sagittarius and Pisces share, they are there to support each other when things go south.

This was perfectly reflected in Hailey and Justin's relationship, as they opened up about their marriage and described the experience as "hard." Nonetheless, they have always had each other's back.

In a 2019 interview with Vogue Australia Hailey had said that despite the hardships associated with marriage, it was imperative to employ efforts to make the relationship work.

But later, in a chat with Podcast Good Faith with Chelsea and Judah Smith, the two love birds talked about being there for each other through tough times.

Hailey even discussed how she was determined to be by Justin's side when he was struggling with mental health issues, per Billboard.

A Passionate Connection

From the very outset, Justin and Hailey have kept the passion alive in their relationship and they are quite expressive about their feelings for each other.

As indicated by their zodiac compatibility, passion is something that seemingly makes them love each other more every day.

According to Thought Catalog, when the passion possessed by a Sagittarius combines with the sensuality of a Pisces, the resultant relationship become both physically and emotionally exciting.

This is accurately reflected in their love-filled Instagram posts that the two celebrities continue to share from time to time.

Lakers News: Rookie SG Austin Reaves Reveals Russell Westbrook's Influence In His Career

Posted: 17 Dec 2021 05:33 PM PST

Despite going undrafted last summer, former Oklahoma Sooners shooting guard Austin Reaves didn't give up on his dream of becoming an NBA player. After receiving a two-way contract from the Los Angeles Lakers, Reaves worked hard to prove that he deserves to play in the NBA. As of now, he's starting to see the results of his hard work.

From being an undrafted player in the 2021 NBA offseason, Reaves has succeeded to turn himself into one of the most talked-about rookies in the league.

Austin Reaves Enters Spotlight

There aren't high expectations from Reaves when the 2021-22 NBA season started. As a rookie on a win-now team, most people only expected Coach Frank Vogel to use Reaves during garbage time. However, with some of their veterans on the sideline with injuries, Vogel decided to take a chance on Reaves and give him a decent playing time.

Reaves recently grabbed the spotlight in the Lakers' recent game against the Dallas Mavericks. He didn't only finish with impressive stats, but he also hit the three-pointer that helped the Lakers seal the victory.

Austin Reaves-Russell Westbrook Connection

In the Lakers' 107-104 victory over the Mavericks, Reaves was remarkable from the three-point range where he knocked down five of his six attempts. After the game, Reaves gave credit to Lakers teammate Russell Westbrook for helping him build his confidence and mentoring him since Summer League.

"Like I said earlier, just the confidence that Russ instills in me is a story going back to Sacramento in Summer League where I went 1-for-8 from three," Reaves said, as quoted by Lakers Nation. "He come in the locker room and was like, 'Way to shoot it.' I'm looking at him like what are you talking about. I shot horrible. 'Nah, I'm just happy you're shooting it.' Just those little things throughout the course from everybody on the team."

Russell Westbrook Proud Of Austin Reaves

Westbrook confirmed that he's been mentoring Reaves since Day 1. From the time they became teammates, the veteran point guard has been telling Reaves to stay positive no matter what the situation is and that it's normal to miss and make shots. When asked about his game-winner against the Mavericks, Westbrook said that he's proud of his mentee.

"It was one of those nights and I'm just happy to be able to enjoy that moment with him," Westbrook said.

Westbrook was actually the one who confidently passed Reaves the ball when he hit the game-winning three-pointer against the Mavericks.

Austin Reaves' Availability Against Timberwolves

After their recent victory over the Mavericks, Reaves and the Lakers are set to face the Minnesota Timberwolves next. Unfortunately, a few hours before their matchup against the Timberwolves officially starts, the Lakers announced that Reaves will enter health and safety protocols and be put into isolation, according to SB Nation's Silver Screen and Roll.

Aside from Reaves, there are five other Lakers' players who are in isolation. These include Kendrick Nunn, Talen Horton-Tucker, Malik Monk, Dwight Howard, and Avery Bradley.

Kendall Jenner Flaunts Grocery Gains In Leggy Shorts

Posted: 17 Dec 2021 05:13 PM PST

Kendall Jenner is showing off what she wears while she "popped out" for some groceries. The 26-year-old catwalk queen, known for short and humorous captions on Instagram, flaunted this, plus her famous figure yesterday, posting video footage of herself outdoors and by a car, also showing off her famous long legs.

Kendall, this year in the news for launching her 818 tequila brand, was repping beauty brand FWRD, where she's Creative Director. Check out the video and the supermodel figure below.

'Popped Out For Groceries'

Scroll for the video. It showed the E! star shot at dusk, by a roadside, and exiting a 4x4 truck. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians face had gone super casual with her attitude, seen walking away from the vehicle while in flimsy blue gym shorts, a white top, plus a long black coat worn open. The Moon partner also donned statement black shades as her hair blew around in the wind.

Kendall further sported white socks, plus chunky hiking boots. More after the video.
