Drake gets Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tattoo to cover a LeBron James one
At a show, Drake had Gilgeous-Alexander's jersey tattooed on his arm. It replaced LeBron James' old high school jersey that was previously on the musician's arm. You can research it yourself, but Drake and James have beefed over the last year because the latter supported Kendrick Lamar.
Meanwhile, Gilgeous-Alexander has shown love for Drake in his superstar ascension. Any time you walk into a Thunder shootaround or practice, there's a coin flip chance you'll hear one of his songs being played. When the musician performed in OKC last year, the MVP winner starred in a hype video.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are fresh off an NBA championship. Gilgeous-Alexander just had one of the greatest individual seasons ever with an MVP trophy and ring. Considering OKC will be a perennial contender for the foreseeable future, not bad to align yourself with one of the league's best players and teams.

Kawhi Leonard, Masai Ujiri Announcement Made on Tuesday
Kawhi Leonard, Masai Ujiri Announcement Made on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Masai Ujiri's unexpected departure from the Toronto Raptors front office came as a surprise to many around the league. Over his tenure, Ujiri cemented his reputation as one of the NBA's top executives, highlighted by orchestrating one of the boldest moves in franchise history — acquiring Kawhi Leonard from the San Antonio Spurs in 2018. Advertisement That gamble paid off immediately. Leonard went on to lead the Raptors to their first-ever NBA championship in 2019, delivering unforgettable playoff moments and earning lasting admiration from Toronto fans despite spending just one season with the team. Both Ujiri and Leonard have remained iconic figures within the fanbase ever since, with many Raptors faithfuls wondering what could have been had Leonard spent more time with the franchise. Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (2).Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Amid Ujiri's recent departure, it was announced on Tuesday that Leonard will make an appearance at the former Raptors GM's Giants of Africa Festival. According to the report: 'Kawhi Leonard will mentor campers, open a new 🏀 court in partnership with Giants of Africa at St. Ignatius School, and host a clinic for 50 local youth in one of Kigali's most underserved districts.' Advertisement The news is yet another sign that Leonard and Ujiri have maintained a strong bond well beyond their championship run in Toronto — even after Leonard's move to the Los Angeles Clippers in 2019. With Leonard now entering his seventh year in Los Angeles, he'll hope to lead another franchise to its first championship. As for Ujiri, it remains to be seen if he'd return to the NBA next season and which teams would be willing to acquire his services.

Alex Rodriguez Opens Up About Ownership Plans for Minnesota Lynx
Alex Rodriguez Opens Up About Ownership Plans for Minnesota Lynx originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With his ownership team's purchase of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves, Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore also will have their hands involved in the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx. Rodriguez, who made a name for himself in the MLB world, has been involved in getting him and Lore in position to become owners of both pro sports organizations. Advertisement While Rodriguez might see a need to have more of a hands-on approach with the Timberwolves, that's not the case with the Lynx. The Timberwolves are still seeking their first NBA title while the Lynx have racked up four WNBA crowns with head coach Cheryl Reeve at the helm. Rodriguez, in an interview with The Athletic, talked about plans and strategy for running the Lynx operations. He and Lore have been owners-in-waiting for a period of time. Now, the shackles have been taken off of them, so to speak. 'Cheryl's done an incredible job,' Rodriguez said. 'I mean, she's really built a dynasty there. So our job is to give her budgets and let her run as fast as she can.' Advertisement Getting more fans interested in Lynx, Timberwolves at same time might deserve focus from Rodriguez, Lore One area of focus that Rodriguez and Lore might look at is improving overlap attention between Timberwolves and Lynx fans. According to The Athletic story, there's only a nine percent overlap in following how both teams are performing on the court. 'With the W, it's been running full speed ahead,' Rodriguez said. 'So our job is to really kind of just get out of the way. Then the business is gonna have a lot more of our hands. "We're gonna roll up our sleeves, hire a CEO, bring in a person that Marc and I feel has the same capability as (Timberwolves president of basketball operations) Tim (Connelly), so we can copy and paste what we've done in basketball and do it in business, and then we should be off to the races.' Advertisement It's been a banner season for the Lynx, who are 19-4 at this time. Reeve keeps pushing the right buttons for her team and Napheesa Collier is in position to pick up a WNBA MVP award at season's end. When looking at the WNBA franchise at this point, it's hard to find too many weaknesses on the team. 'We're very excited about this year right now, where we have an opportunity to win a title,' Rodriguez said. 'Napheesa Collier is a front-runner to be MVP, and we have a fan base that's been embedded there for years and years with four titles. Cheryl has been there for about 16 years, and she's one of one. She's a Hall of Famer. She's a proven winner.' Rodriguez and Lore don't expect to be sitting on their hands with the Lynx. They'll look to make sure, as owners, that the team has what it needs to compete now and into the future. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 15, 2025, where it first appeared.

Blazers rookie Yang Hansen has seized first moments 'under the lights'
The Portland Trail Blazers shocked the NBA when they chose 7-foot-2 Chinese center Yang Hansen with the No. 16 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. But so far, so good. It might very well work out just fine. Advertisement "In his first moments under the lights, his skill level impressed rival coaches and executives, particularly with his passing," ESPN's Tim Bontemps writes. "He's going to be a project, but it didn't take long to see why Portland was interested in him." The big fella has been magical in moments of Summer League on offense, delivering backdoor dimes and also showing he can throw it down at the rim. MORE: LeBron James wants to play basketball with Michael Jordan He's also quickly become a favorite of the media covering the Blazers, showing off a sense of humor and a presence about him that feels like a veteran who knows just the right thing to say. Advertisement Bontemps goes on to write that it's not yet clear how Hansen will co-exist with Donovan Clingan, the incumbent young center in Portland. But if the rookie keeps playing like this, it'll be a good problem to have for the Trail Blazers. MORE NBA NEWS:
