Ajay’s most poignant memories of Barry, which surfaced in the days after he died and replay anytime he thinks of him, are simple. Driving with him to and from school. Learning the words to Kanye West and Jay-Z’s “Gotta Have It.” How he’d phone him to joke that he’d lost his hearing after watching Ajay’s older brother, Elliott Black, shoot bricks in the gym. “There’s this voice in my head of him, you know?” Ajay said. “It feels like he never really left me.” So, he listens. “Every time something’s going on, I’m just like, ‘What would he say? What would he think?’” Mitchell said. “His biggest thing was always family, and I think the way we all handled it is the way he would want it to be. He would have wanted us to stay up, no matter what, and remember him for the good things and what he is.
Brian Windhorst: But you know, the thing about it is—there are three things I want to tell you about Decision Day. One, they raised millions of dollars for Boys and Girls Clubs that night, and they just botched the rollout of that announcement so poorly. They didn’t tell people that clearly enough, and so it’s lost to history. That’s one of the reasons. You want to know why? Because when they were supposed to be rehearsing it, Kanye West showed up where LeBron was hanging out before the show—unannounced—distracted LeBron. Not that that was the reason, but that was one of the crazy things that happened that day.”
The price to be like Mike has reached $1.8 million – and it could keep going up. Michael Jordan’s game-worn and autographed sneakers from Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals went up for auction via Sotheby’s on April 3, and the kicks have already received a record-setting bid. The current figure of $1.8 million would tie the record for most expensive sneakers of all time, a distinction that currently belongs to a pair of Nike Air Yeezy prototypes worn by Kanye West at the 2008 Grammys.
The “Bred” Air Jordan 13s worn by the namesake in Game 2 are among the most iconic shoes in the entire Jordan catalog. He debuted the shoes during “The Last Dance” 1997-98 season and Air Jordan has continued to release different versions of the 13s over the last 25 years. With Ben Affleck’s “Air” movie about Nike’s pursuit of Jordan as a rookie releasing in theaters this week and Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum’s first signature Jordan shoe hitting shelves on Friday, Air Jordan is getting plenty of buzz right now.

Fatburger is back in Orland Park, with several names you might recognize at the helm. Previously owned by Kanye West and shuttered years ago, the long-running LA-based chain known for serving burgers in several sizes has reopened at 15110 S. La Grange Rd., under a partnership between NBA stars Anthony Davis Jr., Derrick Rose, and Tim Hardaway Jr. The burger spot also includes a taste of Fatburger's sister wing brand, Buffalo’s Express.
Kanye West is doing everything he can to deflect attention away from his praising of Hitler, even throwing out false allegations about his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and an affair with NBA superstar Chris Paul ... according to sources with direct knowledge. Before he was kicked off Twitter Thursday night for posting a swastika, the disgraced rapper made a wild allegation claiming he "caught" Kim Kardashian cheating with NBA star Chris Paul.
A source close to the situation tells us the allegation is absolutely false, and just another example of a desperate man trying to shift the focus away from his own wrongdoings. The source says, "This is not true and sadly it’s an ongoing pattern with Kanye — attacking Kim to redirect everyone’s attention after a day of crazy antics where he has said every hateful and offensive thing he can possibly dream of."
Kanye says he can't be controlled ?? "They can control Shaq, Charles Barkley, LeBron James, Jay-Z & Beyoncé but they can’t control me. [...] My mama was sacrificed. [...] In Hollywood, a lot of people come up missing. They wanna monetize & traumatize."
