The news was first reported by Shams Charania, an NBA Insider for The Athletic.

Embiid is expected to become the face of Skechers’ upcoming basketball division, which is yet to be officially announced. In recent weeks, Skechers made waves on social media when NBA players like Julius Randle of the New York Knicks and Terance Mann of the Los Angeles Clippers were seen wearing unreleased Skechers basketball sneakers. This suggested that Skechers has plans to release at least two different basketball shoe models. Before this, Joel Embiid had endorsement deals with Adidas and later signed a five-year contract with Under Armour in 2018. Under Armour introduced the UA Embiid One signature shoe in 2020.

Although there hasn’t been an official announcement yet, sources indicate that Embiid’s deal with Under Armour is concluding, and he was seen wearing Skechers sneakers during a 76ers practice session. Skechers is actively working to enter the basketball footwear market and believes that Joel Embiid is an ideal fit for their brand.

‘The LeBron Era’ Mode Officially Coming To ‘NBA 2K24′ https://brevmag.com/the-lebron-era-mode-officially-coming-to-nba-2k24/ https://brevmag.com/the-lebron-era-mode-officially-coming-to-nba-2k24/#respond Wed, 23 Aug 2023 18:28:30 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=28014 NBA 2K24 is set to pay homage to LeBron James by featuring his very own era in the upcoming edition of this iconic basketball video game. 2K Sports made the announcement on Tuesday, disclosing that NBA 2K24 will introduce a fifth era within its MyNBA mode. This mode was initially launched in 2K23 and encompassed four distinct historical periods: the Magic vs. Bird Era from the 1980s, the Jordan Era of the ’90s, the Kobe Era that defined the 2000s, and the present-day Modern Era.

The game’s official description teases: “Experience the rise of modern super teams – Will LeBron James and the Heatles aim for not just five, but six championships…? And what about the MVP trio of Durant, Harden, and Westbrook in OKC? It’s all in your hands to decide.”

The highly-anticipated release is scheduled for September 8, and will prominently feature the LeBron Era. In this mode, players will have the opportunity to relive LeBron James’ remarkable journey, starting from his “taking his talents to South Beach” decision in 2010 to his back-to-back championship victories with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013. The experience will continue with his return to Cleveland in 2014, his intense battles against the Golden State Warriors’ superteam, and his eventual move to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018, culminating with him breaking the all-time scoring record in 2022. It promises to be an immersive and exciting gaming experience for fans of LeBron and basketball enthusiasts alike.

Ja’Marr Chase Files Restraining Order Against Woman He Claims Is Harassing Him After One Night Stand https://brevmag.com/jamarr-chase-files-restraining-order-against-woman-he-claims-is-harassing-him-after-one-night-stand/ https://brevmag.com/jamarr-chase-files-restraining-order-against-woman-he-claims-is-harassing-him-after-one-night-stand/#respond Wed, 16 Aug 2023 19:18:48 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=27226 Cincinnati Bengals’ standout wide receiver, Ja’Marr Chase, has taken legal action by filing a restraining order against an individual he asserts has been relentlessly bothering him and his mother ever since they had a romantic encounter in 2021.

As reported by TMZ on Tuesday, Chase went to a Los Angeles County courthouse to request a temporary restraining order against Ambar Hunter, with whom he had a one-night affair. Allegedly, Hunter has been engaging in harassment directed at Chase and his family through social media channels.

According to legal documents acquired by TMZ, Chase claimed that Hunter has been involved in a persistent pattern of “unbalanced and troubling” harassment directed at him and his mother, including the sharing of their private phone numbers on social media. The alleged harassment began after Chase terminated the relationship that had started on that significant night in July 2021.

The two-time NFL Pro Bowler additionally asserted that Hunter has been actively attempting to tarnish his image, reputation, and endorsement deals through “premeditated and continuous harassment.” On her Instagram Story, Hunter has made claims that Chase is neglectful as a father and has portrayed herself as a victim of domestic abuse at his hands. Chase has emphatically stated that he does not share a child with Ambar Hunter, despite her assertions to the contrary. According to Chase, Hunter has used images of someone else’s child and falsely asserted that the child is theirs. Furthermore, Chase has indicated that Hunter has declined to undergo a DNA test to verify any alleged paternity claims.
