LeBron James Sends Best Wishes To Steve Kerr
LEBRON JAMES
The Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers may be frequent rivals for the NBA’s biggest prize, but Steve Kerr’s recent health issues have put the game on the backburner.
LeBron James sent his thoughts and prayers to the Warriors coach, wishing him a speedy recovery and quick re- turn to the sidelines.
“I’m not quite sure (about) the illness that he’s got going on, but anything that would keep him away from the game, it can’t be the best,” James said in the Uninterrupted video. “So my thoughts and prayers from my family to Steve Kerr and his family. I wish you a healthy recovery.”
In Case You Did Not Know: NBA Chooses Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Humble’ As 2017 Playoff Theme Song
Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Humble’ is theme song for NBA Playoffs.
Kendrick Lamar’s fourth studio album DAMN. has not merely been making waves, it has created a tsu-nami across the industry, and it seems the NBA has caught the vibe.

The intro video features glimpses from the track’s music video cut together with game footage of players such as Le- Bron James, Stephen Curry and James Harden.
The chorus “Be humble/sit down” is repeated throughout the ad to drive home that al- though there are past NBA Champions in the playoffs, any- one can rise up from the shad- ows and snatch the title.
The foreshadowing claims by the voice-over reinforce the im- portance of players staying at the top of their game: “There are schemes to modernize the recent history, to shove aside all the hype and dictate the lime- light.”

Hernandez's lawyers have made it clear the rumors of his prison lover are nothing more than a malicious lie to "tarnish" the ex NFL star more.
But there are reports that ap- parently there is more evidence proving that the former New England Patriots player did
