LeBron James is getting a ring… although it may not be the NBA Championship ring he hoped for. The Miami Heat star proposed to his long time girlfriend Savanah Brinson on New Years Eve. Brinson showed off her engagement ring at the Heat- Atalanta Hawks game.
LeBron is offering little details saying, “She would love to answer more questions about it than me. But she’s happy, my family’s happy and that’s what it’s all about. . . It should be a surprise. For any woman, any time something like that happens, she was surprised.”
Dwyane Wade was in charge of holding the ring for LeBron, and unlike his teammate, Wade dished on the proposal.
“He kind of caught her in a moment right after New Year’s after we all did the countdown when everybody was (yelling), ‘Happy New Year.’ Then he got her. So it was good. To me, it felt like he was on his knee for an hour. It probably was like 35 seconds. It was great.”
Brinson and James have been dating since high school and have two children together. Congrats to the Happy Couple!
Just when stories of the Air Jordans die down, Michael Jordan makes his way back into the headlines. This time by proposing to his model girlfriend, Yvette Prietto. The couple have been dating since 2008 and move in together in Jordan’s Miami home in 2009.
Prieto is a 32-year old Cuban model, making her just 9-years older than Jordan’s son Jeffery Michael.
Hopefully Jordan gets a prenup, after his 2006 divorce cost him $168 million. Jordan was married to his first wife Juanita Vanoy for 17-years, and according to Forbes their divorce was the most expensive celebrity settlement.
Despite not playing in the NBA for almost a decade, Michael Jordan still dominates the basketball world causes hysteria over the release of his latest shoe, Nike Air Jordan XI Retro Concord. The shoe, which went on sale on Friday, retails for $175 and was first released 20 years ago. The Retro Concords are modeled after the shoes designed for Jordan in 1996… but people still want to be Like Mike.
In Lithonia, Georgia, four people were arrested after they broke down a store door trying to get the shoes, forcing 20 squad cars to respond. At Somerset Mall in Troy, Michigan shoppers were trampled after people started lining up at 4am. “One kid was trampled and hurt his arm, maybe even broke it,” said Troy Police Department Public Information Officer Andy Breidenich.
Before being married to Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries was a relatively unknown NBA bench player, but now the 26-year old has been voted the most hated player… you’re welcome LeBron James.
In a new survey conducted by Forbes, Kris Humphries is the most disliked player in the NBA. According to Forbes, “Apparently when you become better known for a quickie marriage to Kim Kardashian than for your play on the court, you aren’t popular.”
After spending the NBA lockout as a free agent, Humphries resigned with his 2010-2011 team the New Jersey Nets for a one-year $8 million contract. In his first game back, Humphries was booed off the court in an exhibition game against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Fans at the Garden even chanted, “We want Humphries.”
But being married to a Kardashian… even if for 72-days has groomed him to handle the media. When asked about the heckling, Humphries told a reporter, “No, I was so focused on the game, I couldn’t hear that, bro.
