‘Rogue One’ Actor Cast As Tony Montana In Upcoming ‘Scarface’ Reboot

Did anybody even know they were remaking Scarface? A lot of people shit on Hollywood for the lack of original ideas, but if you can make a good remake, I’m all for it. But I have a tough time believing they could make a new Scarface that’s even half as good as the Al Pacino version.

Via Variety:

Universal’s reimagining of the classic gangster pic Scarface looks to have hit small bump in the road, as sources tell Variety that director Antoine Fuqua has departed the project.

Insiders say Sony and Denzel Washington want a sequel to The Equalizer very quickly and need Fuqua back to being prepping the film, which caused conflicted with the Scarface schedule. Universal still wants the film up and running by the spring, and has already begun meeting with directors so production won’t be affected.

Sources have also told Variety that Diego Luna, star of Rogue One is attached to star.

The Scarface reboot will be produced by Marc Shmuger, Scott Stuber, and Dylan Clark of Bluegrass Films and Global Produce production. Marty Bregman, who produced the 1983 Scarface film, will also produce.

The Sopranos writer and Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter wrote the most recent draft of the script, which is a reimagining of the core immigrant story told in both the 1932 and 1983 films, but the new version will be set in Los Angeles and will focus on a Mexican immigrant.


Tito Ortiz Weighs In On Who Would Win McGregor Vs. Mayweather Fight

Tito Ortiz, fresh off of choking the hell out of Chael Sonnen at Bellator 170, has weighed in on the seemingly never ending Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather fight. At this point, everyone needs to shut the hell up about it until something concrete happens because so far it’s been nothing but two egotistical athletes taking verbal shots at each other so they can see their name in the headlines.

Via TMZ:

Tito Ortiz says Conor McGregor would get his ass kicked by either guy in a boxing match.

The Huntington Beach Bad Boy was at ArcLight Hollywood for the “John Wick: Chapter 2” premiere when he told us straight-up… MMA fighters don’t stand a chance against boxers in a BOXING MATCH!

Tito says it’s like comparing checkers to chess.

Not necessarily a scorching hot take from Ortiz, I just figured that he would have his fellow MMA brother’s back. I’d still argue that even in boxing, McGregor would walk away with the victory. McGregor, 28, is in the prime of his fighting life, while Floyd is 40 years old. Striking is Conor McGregor’s strength, and while not quite the same as UFC, I’m confident he’d be able to land enough damaging shots on Mayweather to win the fight.

Budweiser virtually always produces the most memorable Super Bowl commercials, and it looks like this year won’t be any different. For their Super Bowl 51 commercial, Budweiser told the story of its co-founder Adolphus Busch’s journey from Germany to America. You can check out the ad in the video below.

Given today’s political climate, you would think that this commercial is Budweiser’s way of making a statement. But according to their vice president of marketing Ricardo Marques, that is not the case.

Via Fortune, here’s what Marques said about the commercial having a political context:

While Marques argued that the Anheuser-Busch co-founder’s story is as relevant today as it was 160 years ago, he added that despite the ongoing political debate around immigration and refugees, the commercial is not intended to be any sort of commentary on current political events.

“There’s really no correlation with anything else that’s happening in the country,” Marques told AdWeek. “We believe this is a universal story that is very relevant today because probably more than any other period in history today the world pulls you in different directions, and it’s never been harder to stick to your guns.”

Regardless of Budweiser’s intentions, this commercial is sure to rile up some people. Personally, I thought the commercial was actually pretty cool, as there’s nothing more American than coming here to follow your dreams. Their “Lost Dog” commercial of two years ago is still the GOAT, but I certainly won’t be getting my panties in a wad over their latest ad.

Gigi Hadid, one of the hottest supermodels in the world right now, has done something previously believed to be impossible: make the groufit sexy.

That’s right. While modeling for Reebok’s SS17 Club C campaign, Gigi Hadid somehow found a way to make an all-grey outfit hot AF. Models, man.

The 21-year-old blonde crushed a couple of snaps as she played around in a grey Reebok sweatshirt and the white SS17 Club C kicks.

Rapper Kendrick Lamar, who is headlining the SS17 Club kicks for men, joined Hadid in the promotion.

Since its creation in 1985, the Club C has been one of Reebok’s mainstays, but the SS17 Diamond Pack Club C has been given a “contemporary, directional update” for the forthcoming season. But Reebok’s boujee retro yet somehow modern shoe isn’t why were actually here. We’re here for the legs.

Legs. For. Days.

Bonnie-Lee Brown was getting ready for a typical night out with the girls when disaster struck. While performing some elite dance moves, Bonnie-Lee dropped it a bit too low and suffered a horrific butt injury. Watch her take an accidental trip to an unlicensed proctologist in the video below.

What a bummer. One minute, you’re ripping shots with your besties, and the next, you’re getting skewered by a shoe rack. Nothing puts a damper on your night like an unwelcomed butt intrusion.

Via The Sun, this ended up being a pretty serious injury too.

She was left needing three stitches for a painful wound in her buttock and an injection to prevent infection.

But Bonnie-Lee saw the funny side when she uploaded the video to Twitter last night with the caption: “So I ended up with a pole up my bum on Saturday night and had to have three stitches on my a**e cheek and a tetanus jab, how was your weekend?”

In the comments, she added: “Don’t ask me why I was sl*t dropping to this song because I don’t know.

“It didn’t go up my a**e, it went into my a**e cheek which is why I had to have stitches.

“You should see my bum it’s so bruised it’s unreal.”

I guess if Bonnie was looking for a silver lining, it’s a miracle that pole only assaulted her cheek. I’d hate to see someone literally tear themselves a new asshole.

President Trump Chooses Judge Neil Gorsuch As His Nominee For The Supreme Court

Neil-Gorsuch

Judge Neil Gorsuch, a fourth-generation Coloradoan and conservative jurist who has written against euthanasia and in favor of political term limits, has been appointed as President Donald Trump’s judicial nominee for the Supreme Court.

Gorsuch was born in Denver, Colorado on August 29, 1967. His family moved to Washington, D.C. in 1981 when his mother, Anne Gorsuch Burford, was selected as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency by President Ronald Reagan. Gorsuch attended Georgetown Preparatory School, a Jesuit school for grades nine through 12, and graduated from the school in 1985.

After graduating from Georgetown Preparatory School, Gorsuch attended Columbia University in New York City.

Gorsuch is a proponent of originalism, which is the idea that the Constitution should be interpreted as the Founding Fathers would have interpreted it. Gorsuch also believes in textualism, which is the idea that statutes should be interpreted literally, without considering the legislative history and underlying purpose of the law.

Gorsuch is also a believer in a broad definition of religious freedom and sided with Christian employers and religious organizations in the cases of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby and Zubik v. Burwell.

On May 10, 2006, Gorsuch was nominated by President George W. Bush to the seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacated by Judge David M. Ebel. Like Gorsuch. On July 20, 2006, Gorsuch was confirmed by voice vote in the U.S. Senate, making Gorsuch President Bush’s fifth appointment to the Tenth Circuit.

Since taking office, Gorsuch has sent some of his law clerks on to become Supreme Court clerks.

Rob Gronkowski Missed Free Throw On Purpose In High School To Keep Score At 69

As everybody knows, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski absolutely loves making 69 jokes. But in case you’ve been living under a rock, here’s a quick refresher on his passion for the dual oral sex position.

I’m also certain that his favorite part of Billy Madison is when Veronica Vaughn asks the class to turn to page 69.

Now that we’re all aware of Gronk’s present day feelings about 69ing, a recent article revealed an interesting tidbit about his high school basketball days. Gronk spent his senior year at Woodland Hills in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but it’s what he did at Williamsville North in Buffalo, New York that has the internet buzzing.

Every super hero needs an origin story, and via NESN, this might be the genesis of Gronk becoming a 69 legend.

“So we’re playing a home game and we have 68 points — now, it’s not a blowout, but it’s not a particularly close game either,” Gronkowski’s basketball coach, Chuck Swierski, told Mark Dondero in a feature for WPRI.com.

“So (Gronkowski) gets fouled and goes to the free-throw line. He hits the first one to get us to 69 and the place goes nuts because he’s playing into it. On his next free throw, he purposely chucks the ball off the backboard and misses so the score would stay at 69 and then runs back on defense pointing at the scoreboard.”

I hate the Patriots with every fiber of my being, but that is a fantastic story. I would’ve done anything to pull off a stunt like that in high school. Just a hilarious power move for the ages.

Say what you will about Gronk, but he always stays true to himself. Here’s his senior year bio to really drive home that he is a man of simple pleasures.

Former NBA Champion Stephen Jackson Used To Get High Before Games

The news that professional athletes smoke marijuana shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Weed is an unquestionably healthier alternative to some of the pain prescription pills that these athletes are taking. Frankly, it isn’t surprising that sometimes these athletes would smoke right before games.

However, what is relatively surprising is that they’re starting to admit to it. That said, if there ever was a player who wouldn’t be shy about getting high, it’s Stephen Jackson, who recently admitted he used to smoke before games.

Jackson’s revelation came on the “I Am Rapaport: Stereo Podcast” hosted by actor Michael Rapaport:

“I just gotta be real, you know, it’s been a couple games where I smoked before games and had great games,” Jackson said on the podcast, which was posted Friday. “It’s been some games where I smoked before the game and was on the bench after three minutes sitting on the sideline, ‘Please calm down. This high has to calm down.’ I done shot three shots that went over the backboard, like, I’m going to be honest, like, ‘Ahh, I gotta calm down.'”

“We’re in Utah, and the [league’s] drug test people are around, you know, to get our last drug test so we can smoke, right? Don Nelson, we talked about weed all the time. He was cool with talking about weed. We got our last test in Utah, right? So me and [teammate] Baron [Davis] are coming out the locker room just screaming, excited with our last pink slip saying we could smoke for the rest of the season, and Don Nelson hauls ass down there giving us high-fives, like, ‘Yeah, we can smoke now!'” Jackson recalled. “It was cool, the fact that he knows what’s going on off the court with his players, which was great, man. We enjoyed it. That’s why we were a great team.”

You heard it hear first: The NBA is going to be the first professional sports league that allows its athletes to smoke marijuana.

Adam Wright, a Dartmouth College student who has been missing since Monday, has been found dead. Dartmouth President Phil Hanlon sent a collegewide email saying Adam Wright’s body was found. Wright, 21, was last seen on campus shortly after midnight on Monday, January 30.

Wright’s body was found on the bank of the Connecticut River about 10:00 A.M. Tuesday, January 31st. Officials have not released information about a possible cause of death.

Who Was Adam Wright?

Adam Wright was a government major at Dartmouth College who had been missing since Monday. Dartmouth President Phil Hanlon sent an email to Dartmouth students and staff on Tuesday afternoon:

“Adam, a government major, will be remembered as a quiet soul and a good friend. We have been in touch with Adam’s family to share our most sincere sympathies during this time of tragic loss.

He was known for his leadership as president of the International Business Council, a student organization at the Dickey Center. Adam was a loyal Beta Alpha Omega fraternity brother and a member of the Dartmouth Humanitarian Engineering group…Our thoughts are with Adam’s family and friends at this time of great sadness [source].”

What Happened?

No causes, motives, or potential suspects have been identified at the time of this writing, but based on the preliminary investigation, there was no foul play involved. An autopsy will be performed later this week in Concord, New Hampshire. Wright was last seen on Dartmouth’s campus shortly after midnight.

The Rookie Reveal Week for the 2017 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is in full swing. Throughout the week, SI will announce all of the models who will make their debuts in the upcoming issue. Starting Friday, February 3, you can start voting on their Rookie of the Year.

So far, they’ve announced that Kelly Gale, Lais Ribeiro, and Myla Dalbesio will appear in the 2017 SI Swimsuit edition. No disrespect to Kelly, Myla, and all of the other rookies who have yet to be named, but Lais has already locked up this award. Hell, the 26-year-old Brazilian might even be the hottest model in the whole damn magazine à la Ichiro Suzuki winning MVP in his rookie season.

If you’re still not a believer after that sales pitch, let the Victoria’s Secret Angel’s sexy debut video for SI persuade you.

To bolster my rock solid argument, here are some of Lais’ recent Instagram hits and a gallery of her hottest photos.

And because I want to keep this a good, clean fight, here are Mya’s and Kelly’s videos as well. I also threw in Kelly’s hottest pics for full disclosure. Fair is fair.

The #17 and Big Ten leaders, the Maryland Terrapins, travel north to take on the unranked Ohio State Buckeyes, who are in desperate need of a win. Before I talk about each team, I just want it to be that I hate seeing Maryland in the Big Ten. Everyone and their mother knows that the Terps are an ACC team, and it’s a goddamn shame they’re playing in the Big Ten, especially when teams like Duke and UNC are not playing in it anymore. End rant.

Now that I’ve got that off my chest, let’s talk about the game. With the exception of two bad losses to unranked Pitt and Nebraska, Maryland has steamrolled through their schedule, going 19-2 so far, even if they play in a weak Big Ten Conference. Like he did during his freshman and sophomore years at Maryland, junior guard Melo Trimble leads the way for the Terps, putting up 17.1 points a game to go along with 3.4 assists and 3.1 rebounds. As it stands today, Joe Lunardi has the Terps as a fifth seed in his latest bracket projections, but personally I think they can get a higher seed if they continue to win games, which I fully expect them to do.

The Buckeyes of Ohio State have not had a great year up to this point, as they’ve gone 13-9, which is good enough for second to last place in the Big Ten. Although they haven’t been great this year, they’re still 2.5 point favorites tonight, so Vegas obviously knows something that an idiot like me doesn’t know. A win tonight could be the thing that turns it around for the Buckeyes this year, but they’re going to need to make some changes fast, because I don’t see them winning the Big Ten Tournament and getting the automatic NCAA Tournament bid. Hopefully they’re able to feed off of their hostile home crowd because they’re going to need it tonight.

Now that you know a little bit about the matchup, let’s break down all of the ways you can watch the game.

On this cold and snowy (for me at least, I don’t know about you) last day of January, we get to close out a month with what should be quite the matchup between two Top 25 Big East teams as Creighton goes on the road to take on rival Butler. The two teams squared off earlier this year with Creighton coming away victorious as they won 75-64 on their home court.

The #22 Creighton Bluejays came out of the gates scorching hot, winning their first 13 games of the season, and have done very well putting up a 19-3 record, but have stumbled a little bit lately, losing two in a row before winning their last game against DePaul. Creighton is in prime position to make the NCAA Tournament, and most likely get a pretty high seed with how they’ve been playing this year. A win tonight on the road against a Top 20 team would definitely help their cause. It won’t come easy. Butler has been playing some great basketball as of late and are currently ahead of Creighton in the Big East standings.

Maybe I’m just shooting for the moon here, but I really think that Butler is going to be a sleeper team when the tourney rolls around in March. They’ve beaten five ranked teams this year, including reigning national champ Villanova and now top-five Arizona, who was #9 when they beat them earlier this year. Butler isn’t great offensively, as they score less than 80 points a game (76.8 to be exact), but their strength lies within their defense as they only allow 67.2 points a game. A win tonight would help avenge their loss earlier this year to Creighton, and they may be the more desperate team tonight as they try to avoid a second straight loss after losing to Georgetown last week.

Now that you know a little bit about the matchup, let’s break down all of the ways you can watch the game.

The matchup for Super Bowl 51 is set, as the New England Patriots will take on the Atlanta Falcons for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. But while we didn’t know which two teams would be competing for the biggest prize in football until Sunday, January 22, 2017, the venue in which the game will be played has been known since 2013.

With Super Bowl 51 just around the corner, let’s take some time to get familiar with NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. The first stadium in the NFL to have a retractable roof will host its second ever Super Bowl on Sunday, February 5, 2017.


NRG Stadium Information

Address: 1 NRG Parkway in Houston, Texas
Former Names: Reliant Stadium (2002 – 2014)
Capacity: 71,795 (expandable to 80,000 for concerts)
Record Attendance: 80,020 for a George Strait concert on March 17, 2013
Surface: UBU Sports Speed Series S5-M synthetic playing surface
Broke Ground: March 9, 2000
Opened: August 24, 2002


NRG Stadium Naming Rights

Reliant Stadium was the original name of the facility, and in 2000, the energy company signed a 32-year, $300 million contract to have the naming rights. In 2009, NRG Energy acquired Reliant Energy, but they wouldn’t take over the naming rights of the stadium until March of 2014.


NRG Stadium Tenants

Houston Texans (NFL): 2002 – Present
Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo: 2003 – Present
Houston Cougars (NCAA Football): 2013


NRG Stadium Notable Events

NRG Stadium hosts several NCAA football games annually, including the SWAC Championship Game, Texas Bowl, Texas Kickoff, and the “Battle of the Piney Woods.” The venue is also used often for NCAA men’s basketball, as the 2011 and 2016 Final Fours were held there.

NRG Stadium is a frequent home for soccer, hosting matches in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, Copa América Centenario, and the 2010 MLS All-Star Game. Super Bowl 51 will be NRG Stadium’s second Super Bowl, as the venue previously hosted the big game in 2004. The Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers 32-29 in Super Bowl 38, giving them their second Lombardi Trophy in three years. The game featured a game-winning field goal from Adam Vinatieri and the infamous Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction.

The big game is right around the corner, and I couldn’t be more antsy for the grand finale of the NFL season. The New England Patriots will take on the Atlanta Falcons for the Vince Lombardi Trophy, and I’ve already started sticking pins in my Tom Brady voodoo doll. It seems like a foregone conclusion that New England will win their fifth Super Bowl, but hopefully, Matty Ice can find a way to open up a keg of whoop ass on the Pats.

Now that I’ve revealed myself as a very proud and super bitter Patriots hater, let’s break down everything you need to know about Super Bowl 51.


Super Bowl 51 Viewing Details

Date: Sunday, February 5, 2017
Time: 6:30 p.m. EST
Location: NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas
TV Channel: FOX
Stream: FOX Sports GO


NRG Stadium Information

Super Bowl 51 will be held at NRG Stadium, which was the NFL’s first stadium with a retractable roof. NRG Stadium holds 71,795 people (expandable to 80,000 for concerts), and it is currently home to the Houston Texans and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

The venue was previously called Reliant Stadium from 2002-2014, and the name switch occurred because Reliant Energy was acquired by NRG Energy. The purchase took place in 2009, but the name change didn’t happen until March of 2014.

This will be the second Super Bowl to be hosted at the stadium, and the Patriots and Falcons most definitely have a tough act to follow. The venue was previously home to Super Bowl 38 in 2004, where the Patriots defeated the Carolina Panthers in a 32-29 thriller.

Brady was named the Super Bowl MVP, and it was New England’s second time hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in three years. The back-and-forth battle featured a game-winning field goal from Adam Vinatieri and the infamous Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction that captivated adolescent boys everywhere.

Kardashian Empire be damned, Lord Disick is gonna have his. Kylie Jenner turning into an android? So what? Kanye West sitting in his basement playing Russian roulette while he listens to Yeezus in reverse? Not his problem. Wife and kids? Screw it. He’s chain smoking cigarettes with Jessica Harris – professionally known as J Lynne – in Miami if he wants to.

According to TMZ, Lynne is a Next model from Philadelphia who recently moved to Florida. At first, I was going to write that Disick could do better than this, but then I looked up his net worth and it’s nowhere near where I thought it’d be. According to the Google machine, the boy is worth $12 million. $12 million is a shit ton, but he acts like he’s worth way more than that, which I definitely respect. Perception is reality folks.

Anyway, this is J Lynne and she’s definitely hotter than anyone we’ve slept with and apparently you’re curious what she look’s like so here you go.

WWE SmackDown Results, Updates & Must-See Highlights - Jan. 31, 2017

WWE

The 16-time champ is here! Cena made history in his match on Sunday against AJ Styles. He defeated the “Phenomenal” Styles and earned his 16th world title reign in the penultimate match at the Royal Rumble. Only the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair has accumulated that many world title reigns.

Cena may be the champ for now, but in two-weeks-time, he’ll have to defend his newly won prize against five other men in the grueling Elimination Chamber match. Can Cena hold onto the gold long enough for WrestleMania? And if he manages to escape the chamber with his championship, he’ll have to contend with “The Viper” Randy Orton on the grandest stage of them all. But before all that, who are the five other competitors that Cena will be facing at the Elimination Chamber pay per view? AJ Styles is the only other name confirmed for the event. Who will join him in the chamber? You’ll just have to find out for yourself on tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown Live.

Intro: Styles Is Upset; Elimination Chamber News

AJ Styles looks melancholy, watching the screen replaying clips of Cena’s historic victory at the Royal Rumble. Shane McMahon & Daniel Bryan are very happy about the Royal Rumble. AJ doesn’t feel the same. The competitors for the Elimination Chamber is officially announced. John Cena will defend his WWE World Championship against AJ Styles, The Miz, Bray Wyatt, Baron Corbin, and WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose. Styles just wants a singles match against Cena, but he will have to make due for now.

In-Ring Segment: The Champ Is Here!

John Cena is in the ring, he’s ecstatic over his record 16th world title victory. But he’s ready for the Elimination Chamber in two weeks. The Wyatt Family’s music hits. Bray & Orton cut a promo. Things get heated. The Family goes down to ringside to attack Cena. But then the lights go out. Luke Harper appears out-of-nowhere and stands side-by-side with Cena. Shane McMahon’s music hits and holla, holla, holla, we got ourselves a tag team match, playa.


John Cena & Luke Harper vs. The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt & Randy Orton)

Luke Harper is really kicking ass in this match, but he simply won’t fight Bray. He slams Orton onto the announcer’s table, totally laying The Viper out. But when it’s time to fight Bray, Luke backs away. Wyatt has a hypnotic presence; Harper is still under his control in a way. So, Luke isn’t the best tag team partner for John Cena. The Wyatts are dissecting Cena. Orton lays him out on the announcer’s table. Orton is wearing Cena out in the ring, but Big Match John fires back with a devastating clothesline.

Orton tags in Bray, who takes out Cena and taunts the defenseless Harper. Right when Wyatt is about to splash Cena, the champ moves out of the way and Wyatt yells out in pain. Bray tags in Orton once again. Randy scoop-slams Cena and knocks Luke off the apron.

Luke comes back in the ring. He tries to put the Sister Abigail on Bray, but can’t do it. He drills Orton with a sick kick instead, and turns around to a real Sister Abigail from Bray. Cena comes in and tries to send Bray flying with the Attitude Adjustment. But Orton knocks Bray off Cena’s shoulders and counters with an RKO outta nowhere.

The Wyatt Family (Randy Orton & Bray Wyatt) defeats John Cena & Luke Harper


Carmella vs. Delilah Dawson

Before the match, the chinless wonder James Ellsworth comes out to cut a promo. The crowd is starting to boo this guy. Out next comes “the trash-talking, moon-walking, princess of Staten Island” Carmella. Ellsworth’s girl wrestles Delilah Dawson (previously unknown jobber), who looks like she just came out of a rave. Dawson was trained by former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Funaki. Carmella makes quick work of the pale-skinned, blue haired new-comer. But Dawson still looked great in the ring. This probably won’t be the last time we see her. But for tonight, Carmella quieted the new blue diva. The Princess of State Island took her out with The Code of Silence.

Carmella defeats Delilah Dawson


Kalisto vs. Dolph Ziggler

Kalisto is looking for some retribution against Ziggler. But Dolph strikes first and takes Kalisto out. Dolph dominates for much of the match, but Kalisto fires back with high-flying offense. And then just one superkick outta nowhere ended the match for the masked man.

But hats off to Naomi in this match, who once again put away the WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion. A split-legged moonsault is all Naomi needs to put away Alexa.

Man, Chris Brown is just the goddamn worst. The fact that there are still chicks out there that mess with this dude is absolutely mind-blowing. I didn’t go to medical school or anything, but I’m pretty sure Chris Brown is like manic-depressive or something. He’s that kind of messed up.

“Ladies, y’all be complaining about n***as being, like, stalkers and in love with y’all, kinda crazy and shit and you get tired of it. Well, guess what? I’m one of them n***as! If I love you, bitch, ain’t nobody gonna have you. I’m gonna make you miserable. I’m going to chase that n**** out and I’m gonna chase yo ass around, and it’s done.”

As a rich and famous dude, aren’t women supposed to stalk you?

Kyle Lowry Sinks Unreal Three To Bury The Pelicans In Overtime

While this NBA season may be the biggest snoozefest of all time due to its foregone conclusion (Warriors over Cavs in six), that doesn’t mean some of the best athletes in the world stopped making plays night in and night out. Even though all of these thousands of points and plays will all mean nothing at the end of the season, we still need to appreciate the individual greatness of the plays at face value.

With 29 seconds remaining in overtime during Tuesday night’s game, New Orleans Pelicans superstar Anthony Davis tied the game at 106-106 with a bucket. On the other end, 30-year-old Kyle Lowry isolated Pelicans forward Solomon Hil.

The rest is better consumed visually.

Lowry finished the game with 33 points on 11-for-21 shooting and 10 assists. This is the first time in his career that Lowry scored at least 30 points in three consecutive games.
