Bronny James
, were unable to defeat the Dallas Mavericks. It was a challenging game for James junior. Despite going scoreless in the second half, he scored eight points on as many shots.

He stopped the rookie NBA player multiple times. He even used a fadeaway to challenge him early. However, he couldn't keep the winning streak. As per LA Times, talking about the match, James junior said:
'I'm a pretty small guard… So if I get switched down there I have to stand my ground somehow. That's why I weigh like 215 [pounds] and I got to stand my ground down there and make sure I'm not getting bullied anywhere.'
For both young players, this game was crucial, despite the LA Lakers' defeat. It demonstrated their talent and the possible excitement of playing in the

'Absolute filth, embarrassing moment': Stuart Broad on Harry Brook's over where he bowled 37mph
England' Harry Brook was handed bowling duties in the final over by skipper Ben Stokes in the 4th Test (Photo by) Former England pacer Stuart Broad has taken a sharp dig at the home team's tactics on the final day of the fourth Test against India at Old Trafford, calling Harry Brook 's spell "embarrassing" and as tensions flared in the dying moments of the match. With the Test heading towards a draw and Indian batters Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar approaching centuries, England skipper Ben Stokes offered a handshake to mutually end the game. But Jadeja turned it down, preferring to let the Indian duo reach their personal milestones. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Frustrated by the decision, Stokes handed the ball to part-time bowler Harry Brook, who surprisingly switched from his usual medium pace to off-spin in an apparent move to fast-track the conclusion of the match. Stuart Broad, speaking on the "For The Love Of Cricket" podcast, didn't hold back. 'Harry Brook came on to bowl and he bowled absolute filth. He bowled off spin. It was a bit of an embarrassing moment,' Broad said, clearly unimpressed with the switch. "Right-arm medium pace and you come up and bowl off spin? I didn't know he bowled off spin," Broad added. 'He looked like a poor man's Dan Lawrence in his action. He was trying to get the game done if they (India batters) were trying to get their hundreds.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cargo Ship Meets Pirates - Watch What the Captain Does Next!

LeBron James isn't thrilled about deepfake videos of him, and his legal team is taking action
NBA stars like LeBron James are no strangers to memes and viral internet content about their lives being circulated online. However, a new trend of people creating deepfake videos has recently cropped up, and as per AI platform FlickUp's founder Jason Stacks, the Los Angeles Lakers player is not that thrilled about it. LeBron James is not happy about people making deepfake videos of him.(AP) Cease-and-desist letter In a recent Instagram reel, Stacks revealed that James's legal team had issued him a cease-and-desist letter in lieu of the deepfake content being created using his platform. 'This is a letter from one of the biggest NBA players of all time. Two months ago, I launched the YouTube of AI video. It was a fun idea to help creators make some more money. But then people started noticing … Like this guy, yeah, LeBron James. And he wasn't happy, because I got this cease-and-desist from his team,' says Stacks. "I'm so f**ked 😭,' he wrote in the caption. This is in reference to multiple deepfake videos created by online users, including one where James is pregnant with Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry's baby. Former teammate speaks in support James's former teammate Richard Jefferson spoke up in support of the player's attempt to remove content potentially harmful to his image during a recent appearance on the Road Trippin' podcast. We see the value in name, image, and likeness,' he claimed. 'This is one of the issues with AI. All of a sudden, videos depicting whatever you want. They're saying whatever you want. Think for all human beings, what people are doing isn't a positive thing. Kendrick Perkins, Jefferson's co-host, also spoke up on the matter. 'If it is true that LeBron and his team are sending out those cease and desists and stopping that s***, I'm all for it,' he said. 'You have one name. Protect that m*********** name!' This is one of many efforts of James's legal team to take charge of his online narrative and address issues concerning the illicit use of famous personalities. It also points out the dangers of the unregulated use of such technology. By Stuti Gupta

IND vs ENG: 'Why not declare after Ben Stokes' hundred?' - Sunil Gavaskar slams England's 'loud talk'
Sunil Gavaskar, Shubman Gill and Ben Stokes (Images via Getty Images) India's gritty draw in the fourth Test at Old Trafford sparked a heated exchange between the two teams and now, Sunil Gavaskar has added fuel to the fire with a scathing assessment of England's tactics and attitude. The veteran India batter and commentator praised India's resilience after they were reduced to 0/2 in the second innings, eventually finishing the final day with just four wickets lost thanks to centuries from Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "I'm enormously proud of this team for what they've done. Just four wickets down. Yes, whatever the pitch might have been — good pitch, flat pitch, whatever it is — to stick around there under pressure,' Gavaskar said on Sony Sports Network. The Indian batters' decision to bat on even after the result was clear evidently irked England. Skipper Ben Stokes handed the ball to Harry Brook, who was hit for a six by Jadeja as he celebrated his hundred. When Brook offered a handshake to Sundar soon after, the batter appeared to ignore it. Ben Stokes press conference: On handshake controversy, India fightback, his own fitness England players were seen taunting the Indian duo, reportedly questioning whether Jadeja wanted to get to his hundred against Brook and Duckett. Gavaskar, however, turned the tables. He questioned England's own tactics, especially their delayed declaration. 'The question can be asked — did England bat too long before they declared?' Gavaskar said. 'When India gave them 600-plus to chase in Birmingham, some England players said they were scared. But in India, they said 'Give us 600, we'll chase.' So what happened now? India gave you 600, and you fell 336 short. That was just bravado. Just loud talk.' He also took a dig at Stokes' post-match defence that he was resting his bowlers ahead of the final Test at The Oval. Poll Do you think England's tactics were questionable during the fourth Test at Old Trafford? Yes, they were poorly planned. No, they had a solid strategy. 'So now, Shubman Gill — if he's at the media conference — I'd like him to ask: Why did you take a lead of 311? Why not declare at 240 or 250 after Stokes got his hundred? Give your bowlers an extra hour to take wickets. I hope he asks that,' Gavaskar said. 'I know he won't. He's too nice a guy. He's not like this SG (Sunil Gavaskar). That SG (Shubman Gill) is different. But this SG 100% would have asked at a media conference. And I'm asking now. ' Gavaskar's fiery words only add to the charged atmosphere between the two sides and the pointed challenge to England's approach ahead of the series decider.
