Kobe Bryant to Alonzo Ball
Whether he's ready or not, Lonzo Ball has become the face of the Los Angeles Lakers franchise, a position that Kobe Bryant left open when he retired after the 2015-16 season. Unlike Kobe, however, Lonzo comes as a package deal with his outspoken father, LaVar, whose controversial statements have been making headlines for the better part of a year now.

Kyrie Irving regret shouting obscenity at fan
"Hell no. Man enough to record it on video, then that's on him," Irving said. "I'm glad that he got his name out there and then kinda five seconds of fame and it going viral. That's the social media platform we live on. I take full responsibility what I said -- excuse the kids at home -- and you move on."

Derrick Rose's ankle injury a reminder
Derrick Rose, of course, has missed a staggering 262 games since the 2011-12 season, and hasn't played more than 66 games in a season since 2010 -- his third year in the league. His partner in the Cavs' new backcourt, Dwyane Wade, has never been super as durable either. Similar to Rose, Wade has played more than 70 games just once in the past six seasons -- and now he's 35 years old. Then there's Kevin Love, who has a history of back and knee troubles, including knee surgery last season that kept him out for a long stretch in the second half. Cleveland also has the oldest roster in the league, with an average age of 30.1 years. No other team in the NBA has an average age in the 30s.

Naganap ang laro sa isang mabilis na break sa ikatlong quarter. Bilang Brown kinuha ang bola ang haba ng hukuman at dunked, ang kanyang mga kamay slipped off ang rim at siya landed sa kanyang itaas na likod, kanang balikat, at ulo. Tumigil si Brown na naghahanap ng malungkot sa korte nang isang minuto bago tumayo at lumakad pabalik sa locker room.
Si Joel Embiid ay nasaktan. Muli. Ang problemadong balikat ni Markelle Fultz ay nag-crash sa mukha ni Embiid sa ikalawang kuwarter ng laro ni Philly laban sa Knicks noong Miyerkules ng gabi. Noong Huwebes, inihayag ng Sixers na si Embiid ay may isang orbital fracture na nangangailangan ng operasyon pati na rin ang isang pagkakalog at magiging hindi pa natitiyak na dami ng oras.
Drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 2008, basketball star Derrick Rose was named the NBA's league MVP in 2011.
Raised by a single mother in a tough section of Chicago, Illinois, Derrick Rose was born on October 4, 1988. The nation's No. 1 high school point guard, Rose played for the University of Memphis before declaring for the 2008 NBA Draft after his freshman year. Selected No. 1 overall by the Chicago Bulls, Rose was named MVP of the NBA following the 2011 season.
Derrick Martell Rose was born on October 4, 1988, in Chicago, Illinois. Raised without a father in the tough Englewood section of Chicago, Rose and his three older brothers were under the constant, watchful eye of their strict and loving mother, Brenda.
"My mom would walk down the street and drag us home if she heard we were getting into trouble," Rose later told Sports Illustrated. "Even the drug dealers, when they saw her coming, would stop dealing and tell her where we were."
The Rose family was tight, and Derrick's three brothers—Dwayne, Reggie and Allan—took on a fatherly role when it came to their youngest brother. By the eighth grade, Rose's talent as a basketball player was readily apparent. The slick-moving point guard with exceptional court vision was a rising star in his home city, and to protect him from outside interests, his older siblings were constantly at his side. One or more would pick him up and drop him off at school. They also attended his practices and punished him if he stepped out of line.
In 2003, Rose enrolled at Chicago's Simeon Academy and quickly catapulted to one of the country's best high school players. His dominant career at the school resulted in numerous wins and awards. In his senior season, Rose, who by then was ranked the nation's best high school point guard, averaged 25.2 points per game and guided Simeon to a 33-2 record and its second consecutive state title. That same year, the Chicago Tribune named the young player its 2007 "Illinois Mr. Basketball Player."
Not surprisingly, college coaches salivated over the prospect of landing Derrick Rose on their roster. In the end, the point guard chose to enroll at the University of Memphis and play for its coach, John Calipari.
Rose wasted little time leaving his mark on the college game. In his lone year at Memphis, the point guard led the Tigers to 38 total wins—the most in NCAA history—and the 2008 national championship game, where the team lost to the Kansas Jayhawks in overtime.
Rose netted 18 points in the final game, cementing his status as one of college's best players. Not longer after, he declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft, and in June 2008, his hometown Chicago Bulls selected the 19-year-old with the first pick in the draft.
But Rose's time at Memphis was not free of blemishes. In 2009, the NCAA ordered the school to vacate its 2007-08 season and serve three years' probation due to NCAA rules violations. While the NCAA report didn't explicitly name Rose, he was the only player who fit the description of its findings. The report claimed that Rose had elected someone else take his SAT in order to meet academic eligibility requirements. Investigators also accused Memphis of paying $1,700 in free travel to Rose's brother, Reggie.
In Rose's first NBA season (2008-09), he averaged 16.8 points and 6.3 assists per game, earning Rookie of the Year honors and leading the Bulls back to the playoffs.
Over the next three seasons, the point guard molded himself into one of the game's better all-around players. Following a stellar 2010-11 season that saw Rose average 25 points per game, the NBA named Rose its league MVP, making him the youngest player (at 22 years, 191 days old) to receive the honor.
In the strike-shortened 2011-12 season, Rose led the Bulls to the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. But in the first game of the post-season, Rose went down with a serious knee injury that forced him to miss the remainder of the playoffs as well as all of the 2012-13 season.
Rose, who lives in Chicago year-round, became a father for the first time on October 9, 2012, when his longtime girlfriend, Mieka Reese, gave birth to a son, Derrick Rose Jr.
LeBron James has broken Michael Jordan's all-time NBA record of scoring at least 10 points in consecutive games after achieving the feat in his 867th successive fixture.
The three-time NBA champion, 33, broke the record with a dunk in the first quarter of Cleveland's 107-102 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
James, who finished with 27 points, started his streak on 6 January 2007.
"It means a lot for me," the Cavaliers small forward said.
"That's a good moment, a special moment not only for myself but for my family and for so many kids that look up to me for inspiration to know that you can actually go out there and do it."
James was honoured with a standing ovation by the 20,500-strong crowd at the Quicken Loans Arena, and was handed the game ball.
Six-time NBA champion Jordan, 55, achieved the previous record between March 1986 and December 2001.
Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is third in the record books with a streak of 787 games.
