Terry Rozier Nickname: What Does Scary Terry Mean?

0
0

Every year during the NBA Playoffs, there are trends and players that come out of nowhere and find themselves in the national spotlight.

This postseason, that title has been earned by Boston Celtics Guard Terry Rozier. Rozier, the 16th pick in the 2015 Draft, has developed the following season of a rock star because of a clever nickname bestowed upon him from his performance in the postseason so far. That nickname is “Scary Terry”.

It’s funny, most first round picks in the NBA become quite noticeable early in their careers. That was not the case for Rozier, who for his first two seasons became a nice role player for the Celtics.


This past season, Rozier quickly ascended as one of the main pieces to the bright future in Boston. With the unfortunate injury to Gordon Hayward, Rozier was able to elevate his game to a whole new level. Rozier’s game gained so much traction, that Barstool Sports podcast host, Coley Mick, dropped the nickname “Scary Terry”. The nickname quickly spread like wildfire on Twitter and all social media platforms. Rozier got word about the nickname, and he fell in love with it. So much so that All-Star Weekend, Rozier wore an exclusive shirt with the design of his body with a Jason mask from the Friday the 13th movie.

Rozier did decide to make one change to the design. He had the Jason mask replaced with a “Scream” mask. Rozier has a The “Scream” mask tattooed on him, plus it’s his favorite horror movie.

As the postseason season neared, Kyrie Irving got hurt, and it was announced that he would miss the rest of the season and playoffs. Again, someone needed to step up in Irving’s absence, and it was Rozier who’s legend continued to grow.


Early in the first round against the Milwaukee Bucks, Rozier began to shine.

His 23 points in game two led Boston to a 120-106 win, and a 2-0 series lead. Rozier followed up that performance with a memorable game seven. He notched 26 points in the Celtics 112-96 victory to push them to the Eastern Conference semifinals. As Rozier’s legend kept growing, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy saw dollar signs. Along with Coley Mick, Portnoy produced a brand new “Scary Terry” t-shirt in late April. The shirts sold like hotcakes.

With Rozier continuing to help Boston defeat Philadelphia to get to the Eastern Conference Finals, basketball fans and pundits began to question the nickname’s meaning.

Instagram Photo

According to David Mariotti and the help of Aaron Eanes and A&A Marketing Group, the nickname recognizes Rozier is putting fright into his opponents on the court and seems to be a master marketer off the court and on social media. “Scary Terry” has gotten so big, that there’s an official “Scary Terry” store, and his teammates are now wearing the shirts on the bench in warmups and during the games.


Rozier has transformed himself into one of the most prominent NBA players because of the “Scary Terry” phenomenon. The design, the meaning, and Rozier having excellent games in the playoffs are brilliant. And who knows, if Boston gets to the Finals, how much more the “Scary Terry” brand will evolve.

But for now, “Scary Terry” rules the basketball landscape and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon.


Alexa Grasso: Hottest Photos Of The UFC Fighter

Alexa Grasso is one of the most promising up-and-comers in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s strawweight division. At just 24-years-old, the Guadalajara, Mexico native holds a professional mixed martial arts record of 10-1 and is currently ranked No. 9 at 115-pounds in the UFC. She got the call-up to the top promotion in MMA back in November 2016 and has gone 2-1under the UFC banner.

Grasso made her pro-MMA debut in her home country of Mexico in December 2012. Wasting no time, Grasso rattled off five consecutive victories in 18 months. Two of those victories were inside of the Invicta FC cage when she began her step up in competition. After a Fight of the Night win over Mizuki Inoue and a Performance of the Night victory over Jodie Equibel, Grasso had firmly established herself as one of the top prospects in women’s MMA.

Then, she got the call to the big leagues.

Grasso defeated Heather Jo Clark in her UFC debut at The Ultimate Fighter Latin America 3 Finale: dos Anjos vs. Ferguson in November 2016 to advance her record to 9-0. Then, she lost a few months later to Felice Herrig for the first defeat of her professional career. Grasso bounced back six months later with a win over Randa Markos in Mexico City — where two of her UFC appearances have taken place — but she failed to make weight ahead of the bout. Following her win over Markos, Grasso underwent knee surgery to repair her meniscus.

Now that she is healthy and ready to return to action, Grasso will be entering the octagon at Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile on Saturday, May 19 against Tatiana Suarez, a former TUF champion, in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 129. The event — which airs on FOX Sports 1 — will be headlined by a welterweight bout between Demian Maia and Kamaru Usman.

He is also known for his 2011 marriage to Catherine Middleton, at which point he was created Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn, and Baron Carrickfergus. Let’s take a look at his life over the years, starting with his net worth.

Prince William Net Worth: $40 Million

Prince William’s net worth is estimated to be somewhere around $25 and $40 million. Let’s take a look at his life over the years, starting with his net worth.


The Early Years

Instagram Photo

William was born at Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in London. The eldest child of Charles, Princess of Wales, heir apparent to Queen Elizabeth II, and Diana, Princess of Wales, he is in the direct line of succession to the British royal throne. Buckingham Palace, where he would later be baptized, later announced his official name as William Arthur Philip Louis a week after his birth. His mother Diana wanted both William and Harry to be well-rounded, taking them to places ranging from Walt Disney World, McDonald’s, AIDS clinics and homeless shelters. As early as 1983, William also began to accompany his parents on official visits at a young age. William’s life was shaken at the age of 15 when his mother, Diana, who was divorced from his father at the time, died in a car accident in 1997.


2000-2004

Breaking the tradition of sending royal children to Gordonstoun School, William was accepted to Eton College after passing the entrance exam. Upon finishing his studies, he took a gap year in which he took part in British Army training exercises and volunteered as part of the Raleigh International program. By 2001, he enrolled at the University of St. Andrews; originally studying art history, he later switched to Geography, ultimately earning a Scottish Master of Arts degree with upper second class honors.


2005-2012

Deciding on a military career, William attended the Regular Commissions Board at Westbury in Wiltshire in 2005; the following year, he enrolled at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Towards the end of the year, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant, with him later training in the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force. While it initially appeared that William would not take on an active role in the military due to his future role as King, William was transferred to the Royal Air Force service in early 2009 and was promoted to Flight Lieutenant.


2010-Present

In 2010, Clarence House announced that Prince William announced that he would marry Catherine “Kate” Middleton, who was his girlfriend since 2003. The wedding took place in April 2011; a few hours before the ceremony, he was granted the titles of Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn, and Baron Carrickfergus. After William’s active service for the Royal Air Force service ended in late 2013, it was announced he would take on a full-time role as an air ambulance pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance, although he would later leave the position in 2017 in order to serve a more active role in his royal duties with his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.


Black Sorority Members Questioned By Police While Doing Community Service

Members of Sigma Gamma Rho were cleaning up trash alongside Highway 83 in Harrisburg, PA when a state trooper pulled up behind them. The male officer then asked the group of young women if they were fighting, according to Shawna Naomi, who posted her account of the incident on Facebook. The post has since been deleted, but can be seen below via writer Britni Danielle’s Twitter.

“I’ve never seen anyone out here cleaning and I’m responding to a call,” the trooper said, according to the post. Shawna said that the officer would later admit he was not “responding to a call” but rather saw them on the highway and decided to “call it in” himself.

After the officer’s initial inquiry, Naomi and the sorority members explained who they were and that they’d just finished cleaning up “needles, bottles, diapers, etc.” on the highway. They also referenced a nearby “Adopt a Highway Sign” with their sorority name “Sigma Gamma Rho” on it.  The trooper then asked what school they go to, and the group responded accordingly with “additional dialogue about (their) professions.”

After receiving clarification from the sorority as well as additional background information, the officer still decided it was necessary to run each members’ identification through the system. It was only after he handed their IDs back, that he commended them for their “great work.”

Naomi says she then asked the officer why he needed to see their IDs. He said they could have refused to hand them over, but she responded by claiming that action could have been deemed and written up as being uncooperative and confrontational.

She goes on to say that her sorority answered all of his questions and the evidence surrounding them clearly supports their statement that they weren’t fighting, but rather cleaning up trash.

With tears in her eyes, Naomi concluded by pointing out the negative attention the officer brought to the group who was simply trying to do a good deed. “We are on the side of the road with your car behind ours with your lights flashing drawing attention to us in a negative way”.

Naomi then says she was overcome with emotion and had to walk away. The officer “couldn’t and didn’t say anything” and returned to his vehicle and left.

Sigma Gamma Rho sorority posted a response to the incident on their Instagram, asking the State Police to apologize and renew their commitment to diversity training.

Andrea Lee, who is known by her nickname “KGB,” is a highly-decorated mixed martial artist and muay thai practitioner who is one to watch in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. After getting off to an 8-2 start to her professional MMA career, the 29-year-old is finally ready for the big stage as one of the UFC’s newest additions to the flyweight division.

Lee was initially set to make her promotional debut at UFC 216 in October 2017, but that was delayed due to a clause in the UFC Anti-Doping Policy which requires fighters with previous drug violations to serve a six-month period in the testing pool before being able to compete. What triggered Lee’s six-month waiting period was a positive test for a banned diuretic following a loss to Sarah D’Alelio at Invicta FC 16 in March 2016. Lee has been on a four-fight winning streak since that setback.

Training out of Karate Mafia, Lee has claimed the Legacy FC Women’s Flyweight Championship and the LFA Women’s Flyweight Championship. She is also a two-time Louisiana State Golden Gloves Champion and has won multiple titles in Muay Thai and kickboxing.

Her striking credentials make her one of the most exciting rising stars in the UFC’s flyweight division.

Lee will be making her long-awaited UFC debut on Saturday, May 19 at UFC Fight Night 129 against Veronica Macedo in Santiago, Chile. The event will be aired live on FOX Sports 1, so “KGB” will be looking to make a splash in her first big stage performance. A welterweight battle between Demian Maia and Kamaru Usman will serve as the main event of the night.

Kelly Clarkson was born on April 24, 1982, in Fort Worth, Texas, to Jeanne Ann and Stephen Michael Clarkson. Clarkson was brought up in a “highly conservative” Southern Baptist environment, going to church every week. Clarkson started singing in high school and found success singing in school musicals. Upon graduating, she was offered several music scholarships to colleges, but she turned them all down in order to pursue her music career on her own. However, her career wouldn’t take off as she had hoped and she was rejected by multiple record labels.


2002-2003

With no real musical prospects in sight for her, Clarkson was convinced by friends to audition for the inaugural season of American Idol in May 2002. Clarkson thrived on the show and after never being in the bottom three for the entire competition, she beat out Justin Guarini to win.

Following Idol, Clarkson was signed to a record deal with RCA Records and released her first double-A-side single, “Before Your Love”/”A Moment Like This”. The single debuted at 60 on the Billboard Hot 100 and would climb all the way to number one and would eventually become the top-selling single of 2002.

Clarkson stated that she intended to write more children’s books in the future.

Clarkson also had acting roles as a voice in Sony Animation Picture’s The Star and in the Netflix animated series Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh.

On May 11, 2017, it was announced that Clarkson would join The Voice as a coach for the series’ fourteenth season, a position that she still holds today.

A missing teacher from Queens has been found dead in upstate New York. 46-year-old Keith Johnson was last seen May 4 outside PS 29 in College Point, where he taught music.

Police said his car was seen crossing the Throgs Neck Bridge heading out of the city on the morning of May 5.

Officers in the Ulster County town of Shandaken reported they got word on Saturday, May 12, that he might have been hiking in the area. After his 2006 gray Hyundai Elantra was found at the Woodland Valley trailhead, authorities searched the area and found Johnson’s body several miles away.

There is no word yet on the cause of death, but police say nothing looked overtly suspicious, and he may have died of natural causes.

Family members told CBSNewYork it was unusual not to hear from Johnson for days. Johnson, who was an avid hiker, also did not have a known history of drug abuse or mental illness.

His neighbor, Ken Achan, told CBS that he ran into Johnson on May 4, outside their apartment building in Kew Gardens.

Achan says Johnson told him he was leaving the city for a short trip.

“He told me he left a lot of food out for the cats and not to worry for crying that he’s going camping,” he said.

Days went by, the mail and garbage piled up, but there was no sign of Johnson. The school’s principal at PS 29 in College Point alerted police after Johnson didn’t show up to work for several days.

The investigation into Johnson’s death is ongoing.

MC Hammer Net Worth 2018: How Much Is Hammer Worth

Stanley Kirk Burrell, better known by his stage name MC Hammer, and best known for his hit song “U Can’t Touch This,” has long been rumored to have gone broke after his rapid rise to fame in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Whether that’s true or not, Hammer has had an exciting career; let’s take a look, beginning with his net worth.

MC Hammer’s Net Worth As Of 2018: $1.5 million

Seems sort of…. low, eh? Well, here’s how he ended up there.


Early Years: 1987 – 1990

Instagram Photo

Back in 1987, Hammer, a relatively unknown recording artist, released his debut album, “Feel My Power,” with his own record label “Bust it.” A year later he released another album titled “Let’s Get It Started.” Both releases got positive reviews, but it wasn’t until 1990 when Capitol Records signed Hammer and produced his third album “Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em” that he really became a star. His infectious single “U Can’t Touch This” dominated the billboards for 21 weeks and helped the record become the most popular rap release to date. “Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em” was also made into a movie by the same name in 1990. Hammer’s net worth was reported to be around 33 million dollars that year, and he made sure everyone knew about it…  


1991 – 1996

Instagram Photo

His fourth album, “Too Legit To Quit” was released in 1991, which sold over 5 million units – not bad but nowhere as good as his previous successes. A couple of years later, Hammer released his fifth major album, “The Funky Headhunter and Prime Time” in 1994 after some accused him of quitting the music business and fading away. Granted, his music was still being appreciated but not in the same capacity as it initially was.

Behind the scenes of his respected hip-hop career, Hammer was living the textbook pop-star lifestyle. Hammer boasted fast cars, mega mansions, shiny jewelry, racehorses, and just about everything, really. His reckless spending habits soon caught up with him, however, and he filed for bankruptcy in 1996. With debts of nearly 13 million dollars, Hammer was forced to sell his prized possessions (including his 30 million dollar house!) almost as quickly as he bought them.


1997 – Present

Instagram Photo

Hammer released a total of 12 albums in his career, but it’s safe to say the source of his fortune was concentrated heavily in his third release. Since his financial downfall, Hammer has rebounded (sort of), or at least kept himself busy, as the owner of a Mixed Martial Arts management company that manages 10 fighters, Alchemist Clothing Company, and a short-lived tech startup called WireDoo.

Aside from his business ventures, Hammer has been able to maintain some relevance in the pop culture world due to numerous television appearances on shows like Oprah, Ellen, and Chelsea Lately. He is also still considered a hip-hop icon and a founding father of the genre.

So, yeah, Hammer blew pretty much all of his money and suffered enormous financial hardship. He is regularly remembered for being a classic example of how money and power can corrupt, but his dance moves and catchy lyrics are equally as immortal.

Sanderson High School in Raleigh, North Carolina was placed on a ‘code red’ lockdown today while authorities investigate information they received. Raleigh police arrived immediately and determined there was no intruder at the school. The lockdown was changed to a ‘code green’ around 2:30 p.m. The students have since been dismissed.

Jesse O. Sanderson High School, more commonly called Sanderson High School, is a co-educational 9–12 public high school in the Wake County Public School System. The school was founded in 1968.

The Lockdown at Sanderson High School is just the latest in a string of lockdowns, bomb threats, and shootings that have plagued the United States.

Over the course of the past few years, shootings such as these have been a scourge upon the country and people have struggled with coming up with a solution. Lockdowns have become all too common as a means of protection when students and faculty are in danger and today is no different.

This incident follows similar incidents at Dodd Middle School in Connecticut, Windham Public Schools also in Connecticut, Pacoima Middle School in Los Angeles, Millennium Middle School in Florida, and US Grant High School in Oklahoma, which are just some of the places where events such as this have occurred.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, also known to the public as “Kate Middleton,” using her maiden name, is the wife of Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. As her husband is in the direct line of succession to the British royal throne, she is expected to one day become the queen consort of the United Kingdom and of 15 other Commonwealth realms. Let’s take a look at her life over the years, starting with her net worth.

Catherine Middleton Net Worth: £5 Million

The Duchess’ net worth is estimated to be around £5 million, or $7 million. Let’s take a look at her life over the years.


The Early Years

Middleton’s paternal family has ties to British aristocracy, with her relatives playing host to British royalty since at least 1926. When she was two years of age, her family live in Jordan for a period of four years while her father worked for British Airways; at this time, Middleton attended an English-language nursery school. Originally educated in private schools, she ultimately attended and graduated from the University of St. Andrews with a Master of Arts degree in art history.

In 2001, Middleton first met Prince William when they were both students in residence at St Salvator’s Hall at the University of St Andrews. It was not until 2003 that the two started dating. In 2007, the two broke up during a vacation in Switzerland, although they later reconciled. In 2006, Middleton found employment as an accessory buyer with the Jigsaw clothing chain, lasting in the position until 2007. She later worked for the Party Pieces business, working in production and photography, leaving the position in 2011.

In 2010, the engagement between Middleton and Prince William was officially announced during a trip to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya. The couple married the following year on St. Catherine’s Day, with the day later declared a bank holiday in the United Kingdom. As Prince William was created Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus hours before the wedding, Middleton assumed the feminine counterparts to these titles (i.e. Duchess of Cambridge). In 2012, the Duchess announced that she was pregnant with her first child, Prince George. In 2015, she gave birth to her second child, Princess Charlotte. In 2018, her third child, Prince Louis, was born.


WWE Raw Live Stream: How To Watch Monday Night Raw Online – 05/14/18

WWE is smack dab in the middle of their European tour which means tonight Monday Night Raw will emanate from across the pond. After a stream of house shows around the continent, the superstars are ready to put on a big show for the British audience. The English based audience should be an excited one, and here’s some of what they can look forward too.

Tonight Raw will be in The O2 Arena in London, England.

Last week Braun Stroman defeated Kevin Owens to gain a spot in the upcoming Money in the Bank ladder match. Finn Balor also punched his ticket to the event but Raw still has two more spots to give away. Will we find out who the other two will be tonight? Not to be outdone by the men, Ember Moon scored a huge victory over Sasha Banks and Ruby Riott to earn herself a spot in the women’s MITB match. Who else will be representing the red brand in the career-defining match?

Roman Reigns will be looking to get a back at Jinder Mahal for costing him his chance at the MITB. Last week Mahal took it upon himself to interfere with Reigns qualifying match against Balor in protest to what he thought was an injustice by Kurt Angle to the Modern Day Maharaja. Picking a fight with Reigns and costing him a chance at the briefcase may not have been the best way to go about it voicing his grievances. Mahal is no pushover but we all have seen how persistent Reign can be when he’s angry.

Rollins continues to be a fighting champion, putting his Intercontinental Championship on the line again. Last week he answered the call of Mojo Rawley and walked out with his title still in hand, this week he faces a tougher challenge. Former Intercontinental and Universal Champion Kevin Owens looks to get his hands on his former title. KO and The Architect are superb in-ring performers and this should prove to be an amazing match.

And finally, huge news was released today! Nia Jax informed the world that the next challenger for her Raw Women’s Championship will be no other than Ronda Rousey. This is a surprising turn of events. Many thought WWE would ease Rousey into the Championship scene, but if this pans out then she will be challenging in only her second ever PPV. Jax is an imposing figure and the two might have to meet face to face tonight. If they do, you won’t want to miss it.

First Lady Melania Trump was hospitalized on Monday morning and underwent surgery. According to a press release from the White House, the First Lady underwent a kidney procedure and will remain hospitalized for the remainder of the week. Few details on Mrs. Trump’s condition are known at this time outside of a brief statement issued by the White House.

‘This morning, First Lady Melania Trump underwent an embolization procedure to treat a benign kidney condition,” the first lady’s communications director, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement. “The procedure was successful and there were no complications. Mrs. Trump is at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and will likely remain there for the duration of the week. The First Lady looks forward to a full recovery so she can continue her work on behalf of children everywhere.”

Melania is the first United States First Lady to undergo a serious medical procedure while in the White House since Nancy Reagan had a mastectomy in October 1987. Betty Ford was the first First Lady to undergo a serious procedure while in office after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Weeks later, Ford underwent a mastectomy.

Rosalynn Carter is the other First Lady to undergo a major surgery, having a benign lump removed from her breast in 1977.

It was just last week that the 48-year-old Trump announced her “Be Best” campaign. “We can and should be best at educating our children about the importance of a healthy and balanced life,” she said at the time of the announcement in the Rose Garden.

President Donald Trump, who remained at the White House during the First Lady’s surgery, is expected to travel to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland later in the day.

Ramadan 2018: Date, Time & Must-See Details

Ramadan celebrates the first time the Koran was revealed to the prophet Muhammad in Islamic belief, with its time and date dependent on the lunar Islamic calendar. We have the information on what the observance represents, how it is celebrated and when it will be celebrated this year.

What is Ramadan?

Ramadan, also known as “Ramzan,” “Ramadhan,” or “Ramathan,” is often referred to as a “holiday,” but the observance actually lasts a month and is in itself the ninth month of the lunar Islamic calendar.

The first night, also known as the “night of power” or “night of decree,” is considered the holiest night of the year, as it represents the night Muhammad had his first revelation. Ramadan ends with the holiday of Eid al-Fitr, which also marks the beginning of the next lunar month. Its observance is ultimately considered one of the Five Pillars of Islam.

The word “Ramadan” means “heat” or “dryness,” representing the holiday serving as a period of fasting and sacrifice.


How do believers celebrate Ramadan?

Adult Muslims are obliged to fast, which is defined as abstaining from eating and drinking during daylight hours, although there are a few exceptions: the ill, those traveling, elderly, pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetic, chronically ill or menstruating. In certain circumstances, people who were unable to fast during the month of Ramadan are obliged to fast at later dates.

In addition, Muslims are obliged to practice increased prayer, self-discipline and charity during this period. A pre-dawn meal that takes places before the fast is called the “suhur;” a meal that takes place after sunset that breaks the fast is called the “iftar,” according to The Sun.

During this period, Muslims also greet each other with “Ramadan Mubarak” or “Ramadan Kareem,” both of which mean “Blessed Ramadan.”

In some Muslim countries, some areas, like shopping malls or public squares, might be decorated with lights in order to celebrate the holiday; lanterns, in particular, have become a symbol of the holiday.


When is Ramadan 2018?

Ramadan in 2018 will begin in the evening of Tuesday, May 15, and will end in the evening of Thursday, June 14.
