called “Beats
Studio Buds.”
Although the
earbuds had al-
ready been approved by the FCC, the company has yet to announce the product. How- ever, it seems that LeBron James already has a pair of the new Beats Studio Buds.
James is wearing white earbuds that look like the new Beats Studio Buds.
While the first images of the Beats Studio Buds show a black model, the system files indicate that there will be a red and white version — which looks like the one James is wearing.
Dwyane Wade And Gabrielle Union Sell Sherman Oaks Mansion For $5.5M
Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union’s Mediter- ranean villa.
Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union scored a sale, but not a profit, in Sher- man Oaks. They just unloaded their Mediterranean villa for $5.5M, or half a million shy of what they paid in 2018.
They likely aren’t missing the money too much. The power couple dropped $17.9 million on a 17,000-square- foot showplace in Hidden Hills last year, and Wade purchased an ownership stake in the Utah Jazz last month.
The Sherman Oaks home covers 8,650 square feet on a private promontory, taking in sweeping views of the San Fer- nando Valley. A private road approaches the home, which is navigated by an architectural staircase that spirals through the heart of the three-story floor plan.

LEBRON JAMES
Rich Paul has become one of the most powerful agents in the NBA via his own abilities, maneuvering and, of course, his close friendship with LeBron James. He be- lieves there is a significant group of athletes that don't want to work with him, though.
In a wide-ranging inter- view with The New Yorker's Isaac Chortiner, Paul dis- cussed the intricacies of being a Black man in a field of agents that is overwhelmingly white. After saying many Black athletes are reluctant to sign with a Black agent, Paul said it was much more the case with their white counter- parts:
Paul said, “It’s very diffi- cult for me to represent a white player.” I expressed surprise that this was the case.
“It just is. Look around. There’s very few,” he said. “I represent a player from Bosnia. But, again, he’s inter- national. He looks at it differ-
ent.”
“So white players who are
American don’t want a Black agent?” I asked him.
“They’ll never say that,” Paul answered, cracking a rare smile. “But they don’t. I think there’s always going to be that cloud over America.”
That Bosnian player would be Jusuf Nurkic of the Portland Trail Blazers, who signed with Paul in 2019.
Looking through the list of Paul's known clients, Nurkic appears to be the only white player in the NBA who is represented by Paul. James is obviously the most well-known of the group, alongside Lakers teammate Anthony Davis, Ben Sim- mons, Draymond Green, Anthony Edwards and John Wall.
Paul also denied rumors that James holds a secret stake in his agency Klutch Sports Group, which would be a clear violation of NBA rules.
