Floyd Mayweather Honors Late Ex-Girlfriend Josie Harris In A Series Of Instagram Posts
Floyd Mayweather paid tribute to his late ex-girlfriend Josie Harris with a series of Instagram photos on Friday.
Harris, the mother of three of Mayweather's chil- dren, was found unresponsive inside a vehicle parked in the driveway of her home in Va- lencia, California, on Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Sher- iff's Department said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The former world cham- pion boxer posted 11 photos of Harris on Instagram, cap- tioning the photos with sim- ple phrases including "My Angel," "My Sweetheart" and "My Sunshine."
Mayweather posted an-

Sheriff's detectives are treating the case as a death in- vestigation, rather than a homicide. The coroner's office has not released a cause of death.
How LeBron James’
I Promise School Is Helping Students During
Coronavirus Pandemic
LeBron James had plenty on his mind this week.
The Lakers’ star did not just worry about the NBA sus- pending its season for at least 30 days after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus. Or how a suspended or canceled season could affect James’ hope to deliver the Los Angeles Lakers their 17th NBA championship and their first in 10 years.
James also wondered how this would affect his I Promise School, a program that opened in 2018 as a part- nership with his foundation and the Akron Public Schools to help at-risk youth with edu- cation and financial resources.
Gov. Mike DeWine (R- Ohio) announced Thursday that the state’s public and pri- vate schools would close for at least the next three weeks. So James spoke with Michele Campbell, the Executive Di- rector of the LeBron James Family Foundation, about keeping the program’s Family Resource Center open so it could still assist students and families.
“‘We need to make that

happen,’” Campbell said about James’ recent conver- sation with her. “‘We need to do whatever we can to make that happen and make these services to stay open.’”
So although the I Promise School held its last day of classes Friday until further no- tice, the program has kept its Family Resource Center open.
It has partnered with Smuckers and Akron Food Bank to prep and give care packages filled with food, toothpaste and toilet paper to its 1,443 enrolled students and their families. The center has remained open for any fami- lies that need shelter, clothing, medical care and mental health assistance. And the center has kept its hotline open.
Rudy Gobert Wished He Had Taken The Coronavirus 'More Seriously'
RUDY GOBERT
Rudy Gobert, the first NBA player to be diagnosed with novel coronavirus, said he wished he had taken the virus "more seriously."
The Utah Jazz All-Star center provided fans with a health update on the NBA Twitter account Sunday and said he's been feeling a "little better every single day."
He reminded people to keep washing their hands, stop touching their faces and avoid unnecessary contact with others.
"I wish I would have taken this thing more seriously and I hope everyone else will do so because we can do it to- gether," Gobert said.
Gobert donated more than $500,000 to assist peo- ple affected by the virus and related closures. He is giving $200,000 to part-time em- ployees of the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City whose jobs were affected by the NBA's decision to suspend its season.
Another $100,000 each is being donated to support coronavirus-related social services in Utah and Okla- homa City and €100,000 (about $111,000) to his home country France, the Utah Jazz announced on Saturday.
Gobert was recently criti- cized for a prank he pulled on members of the media that could have put them at risk of contracting the illness.
As Gobert was leaving a media event on March 9, be- fore he was diagnosed with coronavirus, he touched every microphone and recorder in front of him in jest.
After his diagnosis, Gob- ert issued a public apology on Instagram.
