Earlier today, some bombshell news was reported in the NBA. It was revealed that Kevin Durant had requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets, despite Kyrie Irving’s intentions to stay with the franchise. Now, it appears as though both superstars are on their way out, which leaves Ben Simmons all alone to fend for himself.
Of course, Simmons was brought to the Nets in a trade that also involved none other than James Harden. With KD and Kyrie by his side, the Nets were supposed to have a Big Three that could dominate the league. Now, Simmons’ future is in jeopardy as he will soon have no more superstars around him.
Thankfully for Simmons, it appears as though the Nets have no immediate plans to move him. According to Sam Amick of The Athletic, the Nets are going to hold onto Simmons for the time being. He is still a very valuable player and trading him would essentially turn the Nets into immediate bottom feeders.
Either way, this is a horrible situation for Simmons to find himself in. After having numerous issues in Philly, it’s hard to see him finding the motivation to play for a Nets squad that is devoid of its two superstar talents.

Will Smith continues to face backlash for his actions at the Oscars. After slapping Chris Rock, productions were put on hold and Will Smith was banned from attending future ceremonies for the next decade. Many people felt like Will Smith wouldn’t have run up on stage if it was someone other than Chris Rock that made the joke. However, DJ Jazzy Jeff doesn’t think that’s necessarily true. During a recent interview with the Faq Podcast, Jazzy Jeff insisted that Will Smith wouldn’t have backed down to anyone.
“I’ve had people say, ‘Oh he wouldn’t have done that to no gangsta,’ Jeff said. “Let me tell you something about Will. Will is somebody that cliff dove in Jamaica and couldn’t swim. Will was the person that whatever he’s afraid of, he runs to. I ain’t got that in me. I don’t have that in me at all. I’ve watched Will almost die numerous times running straight.”
With that being said, Jeff said that Will would’ve slapped Mike Tyson if the boxer had taken a swipe at his wife, even with the knowledge that it wouldn’t have ended favorably for him.
“Will would’ve slapped Mike Tyson. It did not matter who was there. Will would’ve got his ass beat, but he was going to do what he was going to do regardless of who it was. It wasn’t for fake. It wasn’t for show. I have to protect. If that was a grizzly bear, he would have did it. I know him,” he continued, adding that he wasn’t proud of his friend and collaborator at that moment. “I can name 50 times that [Smith] should’ve smacked the shit out of somebody and he didn’t. So for him to have a lapse in judgment, he’s human. And I think a lot of the criticism comes from the people who don’t think people like that are human.”

Quotable Lyrics
Got that blick on my lap when I turn on my street
I go get some racks, I don’t lay up with freaks
My neck havin’ water like Daytona Beach
I love how she walk, I love her physique
