That line made people smile. It wasn't about basketball. It was about love between two friends. Tatum and Beal are both from St. Louis. They have known each other for a long time. Tatum often calls Beal his big brother.
They played together for Team USA once. But even before that, Beal helped guide Tatum. It's a bond that shows up on and off the court.
Tatum doesn't post much on Instagram. But when he does, fans take notice.

BTS' SUGA makes Instagram comeback after 2 years, supports Jin's solo concert with Jimin and Jungkook
BTS member Jin held Day 2 of his RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR concert in South Korea at the Goyang stadium, and it looked like another fun-filled occasion for the fans of the group. After V, RM, and J-Hope attended day 1, it was time for SUGA, Jimin, and Jungkook to ensure their support reached the oldest member. They cheered, laughed, and had a jolly time at what is being called one of the most fun gigs fans have ever experienced. SUGA returns to the public eye after DUI and completing military service It was member Min Yoongi's first time at an official event following the completion of his alternative military service, where he worked as social service personnel for 21 months, unlike the 18 months in active duty, which the other 6 were a part of. SUGA soon took to his personal Instagram account with 50 million followers to share a photo of his attendance at the Jin concert. The BTS ARMY was delighted and celebrated his return to social media after a break of over 2 years, where he chose to be silent during his mandatory duty. Jimin and Jungkook accompanied the Agust D singer as the three arrived in casual fits, faces covered with masks, to enjoy the Jin solo concert. The Promise star also shared a clip from the show, revealing Epiphany as his favorite track from the BTS member. He added how only hyung could have done the performance, complimenting the time he had at the event with 'I had a great time watching your show.' Meanwhile, Jungkook had a blast laughing while watching the fans try to sing along to the high-note songs. He soon changed into official merch from the tour, making it another must-have item from the list. TOMORROW X TOGETHER member Beomgyu also attended the concert and shared that it was fun to be there, with Ref Velvet's Wendy joining Jin on the stage for a live performance of their collaboration track Heart on the Window. Jin is set to tour multiple cities around the world next, with the last stop set for August.

Patrick Mahomes faces legacy reckoning after Chiefs' Super Bowl meltdown
Mahomes Super Bowl fallout (Image credits : Instagram/X) The Kansas City Chiefs' 2024 season ended not just in defeat — but in disillusionment. A crushing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl didn't just cost them a title, it fractured the image of invincibility around Patrick Mahomes. For years, Mahomes symbolized calm under pressure, football brilliance, and leadership. But this season's finale exposed cracks in both the quarterback and the franchise's identity. Super Bowl fallout leaves Mahomes searching for his voice and form While Mahomes posted respectable numbers, the fire and fearlessness that once defined his game were missing when it mattered most. His throws lacked urgency, his body language reflected frustration, and his leadership seemed muted. Fans were stunned not just by the loss, but by Mahomes' inability to rally the team when it mattered. For a player used to miracle moments, this ending felt eerily quiet. Behind closed doors, questions are swirling about Mahomes' mental fatigue and whether he's burdened by the weight of his own myth. A former rival defensive end criticized his 'emotional flatline' during crunch time, calling it a sign of pressure getting to him. The narrative isn't just about poor play anymore — it's about whether Mahomes has lost the edge that once terrified defenses. This shift is rippling through the locker room and the fanbase alike. Chiefs face cultural reset as leadership model comes into question This wasn't just Mahomes' loss — it was the Chiefs' cultural reckoning. The team, once known for resilience and composure, looked shell-shocked against the Eagles. Internal sources suggest a lack of vocal leadership, waning morale, and strategic confusion throughout the postseason run. Now, management faces a critical decision: rebuild the team's emotional foundation, or risk long-term damage to the franchise's core. Also read: Russell Wilson's NFL redemption tour begins in New York after Giants' brutal season As the 2025 season looms, the pressure is now twofold — Mahomes must rediscover his identity, and the Chiefs must reignite a culture of belief. The talent remains, but the aura has cracked. Whether Mahomes bounces back as the fearless icon or fades into just another 'what if' story will define Kansas City's next era. The road to redemption has begun — but this time, it starts from within. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

"He didn't wanna come back": Solo Sikoa opens up on Jacob Fatu's rejection after United States Championship title
Solo Sikoa (Image Source: Getty) Solo Sikoa shocked the WWE Universe at WWE's Night of Champions 2025 in Riyadh by defeating Jacob Fatu for the United States Championship. However, the match was a title bout but also a major turning point in the dynamics within the Bloodline. Fatu was replaced by Sikoa, who spoke about his choice to sever ties with Fatu after the show and what he feels the real reason was. Solo Sikoa explains why he 'cut the dead weight' After the emotional victory, Solo Sikoa addressed the chaos and divisions in the backstage area regarding the Bloodline, offering some rare insight into his thought process and his role as the leader. He talked about both Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu receiving opportunities to fall in line and pass up those chances. 'I tried to give Jimmy a chance to come back to the group. He didn't wanna come back. I tried to tell Jacob to listen to me, follow my lead, he didn't wanna listen to me. So, you know what? I cut the dead weight. Somebody else stepped up.' In this remark, fans were right as rain. Sikoa is done tolerating dissent or disobedience from the group's membership. He weighed a lot of things before he moved on without two of its major players, but his path ahead was clear-cut as it was meant to be Reinforcing the Bloodline: New recruits and renewed dominance Solo got his hand raised at Night of Champions after much muscle was flexed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo After several years away from WWE, Tonga Loa returned to the company while Tala Tonga (formerly known as Hikuleo) made his climactic debut. They surrounded Sikoa as he wrestled that night, establishing Sikoa's dominance and the direction for the next chapter in the Bloodline saga. A Sikoa-ruled Bloodline 2.0 is younger, more belligerent, and under a one-man rule, instead of a tribal chief. Fatu and Jimmy Uso are gone, and now Solo surrounds himself with enforcers who know the task at hand and will do anything to keep it safe.

However, one thing is for sure that The Bloodline is not a family anymore, it is a unit. And Solo Sikoa is driving their charge with a heartless determination.
