Warriors' Draymond Green Reportedly Enters NBA's COVID-19 Health And Safety Protocols
Vanessa Bryant Wants Justice After Deputy Allegedly Showed Photos Of Kobe Bryant’s At Bar
VANESSA BRYANT Two days after Kobe
Bryant was killed in a heli- copter crash, a deputy trainee at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department allegedly showed photos of the accident scene at a local bar.
According to the Los Ange- les Times, Sheriff Alex Vil- lanueva, after learning about what had happened, offered deputies amnesty from disci- pline if they came clean and deleted the images.
Deputy trainee Joey Cruz had photos of the carnage on his phone that were forwarded to him by another deputy that he showed to the bartender at Baja California Bar and Grill, according to surveillance video recorded by the establishment.
46-year-old Ralph Mendez, who sat in a booth near the bar and was informed Cruz had photos of the crash site on his phone, pondered about what to do when he was driving home from the bar. He didn’t initially believe the pa- tron had the pictures on his phone, but would regret not trying to stop them from being shared with other people, or worse, leak online.
When Mendez, a father himself, got home he con- tacted the sheriff’s office, writ- ing, “There was a deputy at Baja California Bar and Grill in Norwalk who was at the Kobe Bryant crash site showing pictures of his ... body. He was working the day the helicopter went down ... He is a young deputy, shaved head with tat- toos on his arm,” according to the Times.

Golden State Warriors for- ward Draymond Green has been placed in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
Green had eight points, eight rebounds and 10 assists in the Warriors' Christmas Day win over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday.

coach Steve Kerr described as a "nasty" quad contusion. The injury came after the versatile post player appeared in each of the Warriors' first 11 games, but

Professional boxer Danny Keller, Jr. was shot and killed on Christmas Eve in what Maryland authorities are investigating as a possible road rage incident.
WUSA9 News reports the 30-year-old resident of Clin- ton, Maryland, was driving to a holiday gathering with his girlfriend and three children around 4:30 p.m. on Friday when the suspect’s vehicle pulled up next to Kelly’s ve- hicle and opened fire.
Kelly’s girlfriend, as well as the three children, ages 4, 7 and 9, were not injured in the shooting.
“At this time, detectives are looking into whether this
was possible road rage,” police said in a statement. “Detec- tives are working on identify- ing the suspect and the suspect vehicle.”
Prince George’s County Police Department took to Twitter on Christmas to offer a $25,000 reward to anyone with information leading to an arrest. “We are seeking the community’s assistance in connection with the fatal shooting of 30-year-old Danny Kelly, Jr. on Christ- mas Eve,” PGCPD wrote.
“A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information leading to an ar- rest and indictment in this case.”
the injury didn't force him to miss any time.
The Los Angeles Lakers re- cently lost to the Boston Celtics, 130-108. There's no doubt that this was a good win for the Boston Celtics, who are now 8-8. However, for the Los Angeles Lakers, this was an unfortunate loss. Even with LeBron James' return, they were unable to win.
One of the people who had a standout performance was Dennis Schroder, who fin- ished with 21 points and 6 as- sists while going 8-14 from the field. Schroder was on the Los Angeles Lakers last sea- son, though that partnership ultimately didn't work out. Schroder reportedly rejected

Schroder was interviewing. From the image, we can see that they clown the Lakers for paying Westbrook $44M. Dennis Schroder is with the Celtics on a mid-level con- tract, and it was clear that he outplayed Russell West- brook.
LeBron James, at nearly 37, is running out of time to capture 2 more NBA champi- onships to equal the great Michael Jordan’s 6 rings. James is an all-time great player who has been the best player of his generation and has a resume that will stand the test of time. The King has accomplishments that include 17 All-Star Teams, 17 All-NBA Teams, 4 NBA titles, 4 Finals MVPs, and 4 MVPs. As a player for 3 different fran- chises, James accomplished everything in the game at an elite level.
But at the moment, it is not looking too good for Le- Bron’s career. The King is playing on a very average Lak- ers squad that is at risk for not making the playoffs, as they currently have a 16-16 record as they barely cling to a play-

off spot. Even if Los Angeles somehow captures a playoff spot and avoid the play-in, there is no way that the team will progress to the Western
Conference Finals as cur- rently constructed.
Collin Sexton is only 22 years old but has found his place in the league by putting up 24.3 PPG last year. Sutton is out for this year.
The Cavs also have fantas- tic big men: Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, and Lauri Markkanen. Mobley was drafted No. 3 overall in the 2021 NBA Draft and has the potential to be a bonafide All- Star. .”
