Selena Gomez recently sparked romance rumors with Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler after they were spotted grabbing dinner, according to the Miami Herald. While the duo has yet to publicly address the speculation surrounding their last sighting together, a source confirms to E! News that the pop star has hung out with the NBA star "a few times."
How much emotional investment should I place in Paul George playing well for the Thunder? My heart can't take another Kevin Durant situation. What's your read? — Nicholas Quah STEIN: C'mon, Nicholas. It's Valentine's Day. Didn't you hear what Selena Gomez said? The heart wants what it wants. This is sports, man. Don't be rational. Go all-in on PG-13 staying with the Thunder. Of course, you'd be running the risk of heartbreak — again — but save your caution for the roadways and the rest of real life. If you can't boundlessly wish and hope when it comes to your team, whoever it is, what's the point? The signals George has been giving off so far, by the way, are as positive as they could possibly be at this point of the season. He's not going to commit to staying in Oklahoma City in February, but there is legit hope that the idea is growing on him. Be brave. Dream big.
The man was Joseph Anavim, who goes by Jojo. Anavim is not yet a household name, but his pop-art paintings — a mishmash of vintage magazine ads and Playboy pinups, acrylic paint and silk-printing — have become a preferred acquisition of N.B.A. stars. His pieces sell for anywhere from $5,000 to $45,000. He’s the Andy Warhol of the 2017 pro basketball set. The likes of Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis — not to mention Selena Gomez and the rapper Big Sean — own an original Jojo, as people seem to call them. Paintings for D’Angelo Russell of the Nets and Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers are in progress.
The 6,600-square-foot white traditional he recently purchased with Azalea -- which used to be owned by singer-actress Selena Gomez -- is a monument to his passions. The property, tucked behind a gate in the San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Tarzana, comes with a detached building that Young is converting into a “shoe house.” He employs not one but two “shoe keepers,” who oversee his 500-plus pairs of sneakers, a collection that includes Vans fitted with roller-skating wheels. As Young leads a tour from shoe house to main quarters, he pretends he is on MTV Cribs. Off the kitchen is a replica of the hollywood sign over a red carpet. In the billiards room is a 10-by-10-foot mural, painted by graffiti artist Dame MSK that incorporates a cartoon basketball with arms forming the three-point goggles. In the living room is a set of eight whoopee cushions, presumably for two-year-old Nick Jr., who shows less interest in them than his dad. And behind the bar are two oversized neon letters, s and p, the orange p familiar because it was once part of a Home Depot marquee. These are the initials of Young’s self-manufactured alter ego, a loopy but lovable character named Swaggy P, who fires 35-foot jumpers, attempts 360-degree layups and sometimes even makes them.

Do you think Justin Bieber could never cross over Steve Nash? Never say never. Whether it is staged, manipulated or Nash just not caring nearly as much as Bieber about a three-on-three game at the gym, there is video out there (posted by Bieber on Twitter, no less) of the teen pop superstar going by Nash if it was Russell Westbrook driving on, well, Nash. Where's the pick-and-roll help? This will be a set-up line for Nash defense jokes but the whole thing really looks like a made-for-viral event, from Nash's shoes, to how he cleared a path to Bieber girlfriend Selena Gomez squealing like a baby seal in celebration from the baseline.
