Headlined by Rui Hachimura’s torrid shooting, the Los Angeles Lakers got off to a hot start in the second quarter of Game 2 against the Denver Nuggets to grab the lead. Running the offense in the Lakers’ small-ball unit, LeBron James played a key role in that run. Yet with just under eight minutes left in the second, James blew what looked like a very easy opportunity for two points on the fast break.
All alone in the open floor, James prepared for his signature reverse slam, but the ball slipped out of his hands and out of bounds, which spun a simple bucket into a turnover. Adding insult to injury, James had left a point-blank layup short only minutes earlier as well.
One of the funnier parts of the play is Hachimura’s reaction as he heads back up the floor. I can’t tell if he gets a slight kick out of the error or if he’s grimacing because of its absurd nature, but his emotions are apparent.
“I can’t ever remember seeing that from him,” ESPN’s Mike Breen said in the immediate aftermath.
While that play is logged as a turnover and not a missed shot, James entered Thursday’s game 84-of-87 on dunks between the regular season and postseason this year, so that sort of misstep is absolutely a rarity for the star forward.
A new era of Kylie Minogue is upon us. Today (May 18), the Australian pop legend has shared her new single, “Padam Padam,” from her upcoming 16th studio album, Tension.
On the song, Minogue recalls a sexy encounter over a seductive, pulsating beat.
“Padam, padam, I hear it and I know / Padam, padam, I know you wanna take me home / Padam, and get to know me close / Padam, padam, when your heart goes ‘Padam’ / Padam, I hear it and I know / Padam, padam, I know you wanna take me home / Padam, and take off all my clothes,” she sings on the song’s chorus.
In the song’s accompanying video, Minogue sits in a diner recollecting a magical night, before breaking out into killer choreography.
“I started this album with an open mind and a blank page,” said Minogue in a statement. “Unlike my last two albums there wasn’t a ‘theme,’ it was about finding the heart or the fun or the fantasy of that moment and always trying to service the song. I wanted to celebrate each song’s individuality and to dive into that freedom. I would say it’s a blend of personal reflection, club abandon, and melancholic high.”

A family in Northern California has found a way to beat the high price of rent and live a life of freedom on a 65-foot decommissioned U.S. Coast Guard tugboat. According to a recent story by South West News Service, Jason Loger, 37, and his wife, Taryn Collins, 36, bought the boat for $35,000 at an auction in 2019. Since moving to the boat, they’ve had a son Russell who’s two years old.
They purchased the vessel on their second date.
“When I first saw the boat in pictures I thought it was a floating tetanus shot,” Taryn said according to Metro. “But once I got in there and saw Jason’s love and his passion for it and saw the ability to move on water, I fell in love with the whole idea of it.”
Jason is a railroad engineer obsessed with maritime history, and Taryn is a stay-at-home mother. Taryn estimates that living on the boat costs the family about $1,300 a month, including the slip fee, liveaboard fee, and electricity. That saves them about $1,000 over the cost of renting the average two-bedroom home in California ($2,405), and $2,700 over the same house in the San Francisco Bay Area is over $4,000.
The engine room gets it’s own video. #livingaboard #tuglife #raisingababy #momtok #momsoftiktok #babylove #babyboy #boatbaby #MaiselChallenge
The monthly cost for the boat is a steal, especially in the area where they dock, but there were some initial costs in making it a comfortable place for the family. The ship was commissioned in 1962 and decommissioned in 1982. From 1982 to 2019, it was an oceanographic research vessel.
“The haul-out, dry docking and launch, inspection, sanding and painting of the underwater portion of the boat for routine maintenance was about $20K,’ Taryn said, according to Metro. “Another $30,000 was spent on materials and equipment for things like shore power transformers to be able to plug into a regular marina, paint, steelwork, a full-sized washer and dryer, flooring, HVAC repairs and equipment.”
Living on the boat allows the family to pick up and go wherever and whenever they like.
In between all that we decided to also add *a kid* into the mix. Cant wait for good weather and more hands *even tiny ones* for upgrade projects. #liveaboard #tugboat #fyp
“We have easy access to quick mobility. We can throw off our lines and go watch the sunset without so much as packing or finishing dinner,” Taryn told South West News Service. They also enjoy hanging out with their new friends living on the water. “We also have an incredible live-aboard neighborhood filled with drinks on the back deck and a ton of camaraderie.”
Some think living on a boat with such a young child is downright dangerous. But Taryn and Jason have no time for their critics.
“After posting to TikTok, I’m hearing comments saying that it’s delusional and not safe,” Tarn told The New York Post. “[But] what part of it isn’t safe? Everything I’m doing is safe and it’s just as safe as what you would be in a house.”
“No matter if you live in a boat or a house, you need to supervise your children. We have doors and we have brains,” she continued. “I would say about 95% of the people would say that they wish they could do this, and that I’m a good mum to give my son this awesome adventure.”
The couple hopes that living the “tug life,” as they call it, inspires others to live out their dreams as well. They document their unique living situation on Taryn’s TikTok channel, which has over 70,000 subscribers.
“I wanted to show people that they can do this,” Taryn said, according to Metro. “It’s not super expensive if you’re not afraid of water.”
It felt “like a shot down his back.” Someone was “yelling and screaming.” He could’ve fallen. He could’ve “cracked his skull.” He could’ve died.
This is how former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani described an incident that happened at a Staten Island grocery store in June of 2022. Trump’s one-time personal lawyer — who often seems to be melting before our eyes — was making the rounds at a local ShopRite to campaign for his equally sweaty son’s gubernatorial bid when a worker patted him on the back, greeting him with a “What’s up scumbag?” before strolling on by. Before video footage of the “slap” landed on social media, Giuliani tried to claim the man, later identified as Daniel Gill, physically assaulted him. He said he was hit “very, very hard,” that the tap “felt like someone shot” him, and that, had he been a weaker 78-year-old, he might not have survived.
But the internet called bullsh*t on that tale, and now the man involved (the nice ShopRite worker, not the corrupt political figure accused of sexual assault and harassment) is calling bullsh*t too.
Gills is suing Giuliani for $2 million after the right-wing grifter had him arrested on second-degree assault charges which ended up costing him his job. While Gills managed to avoid going to court — the charges were later dropped — he did spend a night in jail and was terminated from his place of employment because of Giuliani’s exaggerated retelling of events. Gill’s lawyer said of the lawsuit:
“No crime was committed, no offense was committed. It was just your basic heckling of a very public figure engaged in political campaigning. Rudy Giuliani saw this as yet another opportunity to portray himself as some sort of victim of the left and woke politics.”
The lawsuit alleges that Giuliani not only “dramatized” his version of events to police, but that he worked with Staten Island police officers he knew to make sure Gills was arrested and charged with a more serious crime.
Here’s the “crime” in question so you can place an informed bet on just how much of Giuliani’s money this grocery store worker is going to walk away with.

On the five-year anniversary of Juice WRLD‘s breakthrough album, Goodbye & Good Riddance, the late rapper’s estate has reissued the album with two new songs.
On one of the songs, “Glo’d Up,” Juice raps about macking with the ladies, making it known that he’s not easily fazed.
“She tell me that I’m goin’ through the motions / ‘Cause I ain’t ever showin’ no emotions / Ayy, I tell her, “It’s over, it’s over” / I done glowed up, I done growed up,” he raps on the song’s chorus, over a punchy beat produced by Take A Daytrip.
You can listen to “Glo’d Up” and “No Good” above.
On “No Good,” Juice rap-sings over a Latin-inspired track produced by Rvssian, as he laments the rockstar lifestyle. He shares detailed accounts of addiction, heartbreak, and drug-fueled sexcapades.
“I’m full of addictions, this is just vindictive / Subject a lil’ sensitive, maybe I should just shallow it / Went from talkin’ depression to money-makin’ prerogative / Still a smart guy, could’ve got a scholarship / Sayin’ f*ck college, I’ma tell you how I started it,” he says on one of the song’s verses.
Over the course of the weekend (May 19-21), fans can visit a special pop-up in Los Angeles, located at 433 N Fairfax Ave. The pop-up will offer exclusive merchandise and display never-before-seen footage of Juice.
“We are incredibly excited to commemorate the 5-year anniversary of Juice WRLD’s monumental album, Goodbye & Good Riddance, through this immersive pop-up experience,” said Peter Jideonwo, Juice WRLD’s manager, in a statement. “This event will bring fans closer to Juice WRLD’s artistry, allowing them to celebrate his legacy while listening to new music, exploring exclusive collaborations, and immersing themselves in his captivating world.”

The 2023 PGA Championship got started on Thursday, and conditions at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York were extremely difficult.
The course was set up more like a U.S. Open than a typical PGA Championship, meaning birdies were hard to come by, par was a great score, and the most important thing to give yourself a chance at a decent number was keeping the ball in the fairway. The rough was much-talked about coming into the week, with the ball settling to the bottom of very thick rough that made it nearly impossible to control a shot, but it wasn’t the only deterrent on the golf course for wayward shots.
A creek runs throughout Oak Hill, including going up the length of the long, par-4 sixth. Off to the right of the creek on the sixth hole is a marsh area that’s dry enough in spots to potentially play out of, but very wet and muddy in others. Tom Kim learned the latter part of that the hard way late in his round, as he had pushed his tee shot right and tried to go see if he could play it. In the process, he fell in the mud, getting covered over his entire arms and legs, leading to one of the funniest two minutes you’ll ever see on a golf broadcast.
The ESPN broadcast was, likewise, rolling in laughter as Kim extricated himself from the marsh and proceeded to go take a bath in the creek to get as much mud off of him as possible — where it appeared he might’ve fallen in as well. He managed to, somehow, scramble to make a bogey on the hole despite the disaster in the mud and needing to take a drop, playing the rest of the way in just his quarter-zip with no shirt underneath. Kim’s adventure may serve as a lesson to the rest of the field that even if it looks playable right of the creek on 6, you might just want to take your drop rather than trying to play out of the hazard.
UPDATE: Tom had hoped his fall might have gone unnoticed, and had an incredible reaction to learning he had gone viral.
Bad Bunny has another summer hit on his hands. Today (May 18), the Puerto Rican rapper has shared a new single, “Where She Goes.”
On the song, Benito teams up with producer Mag and engineer La Paciencia, as he sings and raps over a Jersey club beat, mixed with elements of Dembow. He recalls a special night with a woman, that was only supposed to be a one-time encounter. However, he can’t seem to get this lady off of his mind, and longs to reunite with her. Bad Bunny flawlessly delivers on an electrifying hit, as he experiments with new musical stylings.
In the song’s accompanying video, which is directed by Stillz and produced by WeOwnTheCity, Bad Bunny is seen in a California desert, standing at the top of a mountain as he overlooks the scene.
As the beat drops, Bad Bunny then drives through the desert at full throttle in clips juxtaposed with videos of horses running at the highest speed.
The video also contains appearances from some of Bad Bunny’s friends, including Dominic Fike, Frank Ocean, Isabella Manderson, Julian Consuegra, Juliana Nalú, Lil Uzi Vert, Ronaldinho, Sabrina Zada, and Ysham Avdulahi.
You can check out the video for “Where She Goes” above.

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. Classics and collaborations — that’s what we’re dealing with this week as Nike rolls out some new colorways on its most beloved silhouettes and Adidas and New Balance deliver collaborations with some of streetwear’s most exciting brands.
This week ,Nike is rolling at new Air Max 95s, Jordans 1, 3, and 5, a new Terminator, and Cortez, the highlight of the bunch is the Across The Spider-Verse-inspired Jordan 1s, which allow you to cosplay your life as Miles Morales, AKA Marvel’s best-dressed superhero.
In addition to the Nikes, we’ve got dope team-ups between Palace, Stray Rats, New Balance, and BAPE + Adidas. It’s one hell of a week so let’s dive into all of the best drops.
This week Nike is dropping a Black and Stadium Green Air Max 95 with a mixed mesh and leather upper in Women’s exclusive sizing. Nike has dropped a version of this colorway before but this time around the brand has made a slight alteration that really allows the design to pop.
They’ve swapped out the neon green accents for Stadium Green which serves as a better compliment to the black-to-grey gradient on the upper. It looks great, and thanks to the Aix Max 95s lace lock design, you can get all sorts of creative with the way you lace this pair up.
The Women’s Air Max 95 Black and Stadium Green is out now for a retail price of $175. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
The Craft takes the undeniable design of the Jordan 5 and translates it from a court staple to a slightly dressier street shoe. Rather than a traditional leather build, the Craft sports a mixed suede and canvas upper with translucent detailing, splattered accents, an icy blue outsole, and Safety Orange accents over a muted beige colorway.
Like the Black and Stadium Green Air Max, this colorway just pops!
The Air Jordan 5 Craft is out now. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
Some sneakerheads are traditionalists, and that’s alright, if you’re not feeling the Craft, you’re going to love the Lucky Green Jordan 3. It’s a classic leather Jordan build, with all of the touchstones of the 3 that make it a beloved sneaker: the elephant print mudguard, a white leather upper, and simple but elegant branding.
It’s a Jordan for Jordan fans, and as fans, we’ll gladly take it! The Lucky Green is a women’s exclusive, so if you’ve got big feet, you’re going to have to take the ‘L’ on this one.
The Women’s Air Jordan 3 Lucky Green is set to drop on May 18th at 7:00 AM PST. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like Flight Club..
It’s been a minute since Nike has dropped an all-black sneaker, but this week brings the Women’s Cortez in triple black. Featuring a suede and leather upper, this blacked-out sneaker features a soft spongey midsole, a neoprene tongue, and a speckled outsole that brings just the slightest pop of contrast to the design.
Just about every sneaker looks dope in triple black, but the Cortez is definitely in the top five silhouettes in Nike’s entire roster.
The Women’s Cortez Black is set to drop on May 19th at 7:00 AM PST. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
Miles Morales is easily the best-dressed character in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. He’s the only character in the Marvel universe to rock Jordan 1s so, the case is closed as far as we’re concerned. The Air Jordan 1 Next Chapter is based on the model worn by Miles in the upcoming Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse movie, which hits theaters in June.
The Design takes the classic Chicago colorway but adds in a mixed material upper that includes premium leather and soft suede panels with an altered collar that brings in a muted red, blue and yellow pattern.
The Nike Air Jordan 1 Next Chapter is set to drop on May 20th at 7:00 AM PST. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.
It’s just like Nike to not give us any triple black sneakers and then out of the blue drop two in a single week. The Terminator Black features hairy suede overlays over a leather upper with boot-inspired laces that have slight reflective elements on them, with big-type Nike branding at the heel.
It looks great, but if you’re going to buy one single all-black sneaker this week, make it the Cortez!
The Nike Terminator Black is set to drop on May 19th at 7:00 AM PST. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
In celebration of beloved streetwear staple BAPE’s 30th anniversary, the brand is teaming up with Adidas for a camo-wrapped take on the Forum 84 silhouette. Featuring a textile and full-grain leather upper with an ankle strap, the sneaker sports panels in BAPE’s famous camo-patterning with a dual-branded tongue and lace gem.
The sneaker is available in blue and green with silver or metallic gold accents.
The Adidas x BAPE Forum 84 is set to drop on May 20th at 8:00 AM PST. Pick up a pair via the Adidas CONFIRMED app.

Stray Rats x New Balance 580 Burgundy With Mystic Purple/ Dark Moss with Cosmic Grape
Stray Rats and New Balance collaborations are always worth checking out and for their latest collaboration, the New York brand is offering its take on NB’s 580 silhouette. The sneaker features a nubuck upper and nylon upper, rat logo lace jewels, and C-CAP midsole cushioning in an ABZORB midsole with ROLLBAR stability.
The color combination apparently pays ‘tribute to the era of digital camera photos of sneaker collections, uploaded to message boards and forums, by evoking rare colorways set against home interior backgrounds.”
The 580 was a design more popular in Japan and gained much of its notoriety over the early internet amongst sneaker heads, but we have to say, this description on NB’s part is a stretch. That may be the inspiration, but it also just sort of looks like the color combinations we expect from Stray Rats. Either way, it looks pretty damn good!
The Stray Rats x New Balance 580 is set to drop on May 18th at 7:00 PM PST. Pick up a pair via the New Balance webstore.

Palace x New Balance MADE in UK 991v1 Taos Taupe With Black and Grape Juice /Black with Griffin and Ultra Violet
Closing out the week is this team-up between London-based skatewear brand Palace and New Balance’s premium MADE in UK sub-label. The two brands join forces for a new 991 with a ripstop upper with tumbled nubuck and pigskin overlays, embroidered ‘Palace’ branding, a special lace jewel, and a reflective N logo over an ABZROB midsole.
The insoles have also been redesigned with lots of ‘Palace’ branding, and the heel window of the left shoe reads ‘Pal’ and the right reads “Ace.” Palace wasn’t exactly subtle with its branding, but it still manages to look good while feeling like a celebration of both brands.
The Palace x New Balance MADE in UK 991v1 is set to drop on May 19th at 10:00 AM PST. Pick up a pair via the New Balance webstore.
