Percy "Master P" Miller confirms to ESPN that he's in negotiations to acquire Reebok with ex-NBA guard Baron Davis. "These companies have been benefiting off us, this could be history for this company going Black-owned," Miller tells ESPN.

To Russell Westbrook’s defense, here is even further proof of his previous interactions with Utah Jazz fans. In this video, @russwest44 is called a “boy” by a Jazz fan ahead of Game 4 of OKC’s first-round playoff series against Utah on April 23, 2018 at Vivint Arena.

#Lions’ Brian Branch says he shouldn’t have been involved in the post-game skirmish but claims they were trying to “bully” him out there. “It was childish,” he said. Branch says he was blocked in the back illegally at the end of the game in front of refs and grew frustrated.

NFL Films deleted its video criticizing #Lions’ Brian Branch but his teammates took offense to it. “I thought that video was crazy. I don’t know why it was released, the reasoning behind it,” WR Amon-Ra St. Brown said.

After the win, where he scored his 3rd career TD, #Lions WR Jameson Williams pulled up to the West Side of Detroit to give out turkeys and signed footballs to families at the Family Assistance for Renaissance Men (@FARMFathers). He called it “important” to show up for the city.

Raptors’ Kawhi Leonard says he’s unfazed at how folks reacted to his laugh on media day. Says he doesn’t follow social media or stories so he doesn’t know what people think. “It’s not surprising when you’re at this high of a caliber player,” Leonard said.
