LaVar Ball Gives Update On Where He Wants LaMelo To Go

LaVar Ball has been one of the most vocal fathers in sports history, especially when it comes to where he wants his kids to play. Back in 2017, LaVar was extremely loud about Lonzo being drafted to the Lakers, which ended up happening albeit Lonzo only got to play a couple of years there before being traded in a package for the likes of Anthony Davis. Now, LaVar is trying to influence the future of his son LaMelo who will be drafted into the NBA on November 18th.

For months, it was believed that LaMelo would be an obvious top-five pick although recently, there were some concerns following his pre-draft interviews. Now, some people think he could be pushed outside of the top-five, which would give deeper teams in the draft some hope. LaVar seems to be well-aware of this reality as he recently told the Pascal Show that he wants LaMelo to go to either the Knicks or the Pistons.

The Pistons are set to draft seventh while the Knicks have the eighth overall pick. These are two teams that could use a player like LaMelo and if he falls in their laps, he will be the perfect value pick, should he live up to his potential.

As for Los Angeles, LaVar noted that he would only want his sons to play there after LeBron and Anthony Davis have left. In fact, LaVar even blamed Lonzo’s lack of Lakers success on former head coach Luke Walton.

Michael Coleman captures heartbreak’s quiet echo on latest release “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow”

Michael Coleman

The Metropolitan Cowboy Michael Coleman returns with a deeply affecting new single, “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow,” a song that explores the emotional landscape left behind when love fades and certainty disappears. Written by Coleman, the track offers a reflection on heartbreak, loneliness, and the difficult process of rediscovering oneself after loss.

One of the song’s most compelling strengths lies in its honesty. Lyrics such as, “Right now she’s not anybody’s girl / Though she used to be someone’s wife,” reveal the profound identity shifts that often accompany heartbreak. Rather than offering easy answers, the track embraces uncertainty, making its emotional impact all the more powerful.

The chorus and bridge further deepen the song’s resonance, highlighting the struggle of moving forward while carrying the scars of past experiences. The line, “When you don’t know what comes next / You can’t protect your heart from battle scars,” serves as a striking reminder of the openness that comes with healing and personal growth.

Musically, “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow” balances classic country sensibilities with polished contemporary production. The arrangement feels spacious and expressive, creating room for the song’s emotional themes to breathe while maintaining a strong sense of accessibility. The result is a track that feels equally at home during a solitary late-night listen or on mainstream radio.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.

The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.

The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.

The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.
