Savannah James
on how she maintains the right balance between her son Bryce's academics and sports
During a recent episode of Everybody's Crazy, LeBron James's wife, Savannah, and co-host April McDaniel spoke about parenting while guiding a caller on the show. According to the caller named Crystal, her 18-year-old son has struggled with maintaining good scores as he was promoted to higher classes. The caller went on to compare her son with Bryce James as both of them are of the similar age group, to which Savannah James said-
'I'm more graceful, so to me it's a given that if you're giving all your effort, most of your effort, and you've been in school for 12 years, and I get it it's coming to like the last four weeks.'
She further mentioned
'You just have to do enough to get on the stage. Like, obviously I want the grades to be good, but I get it—we're done. I'm done. So, just get across the stage.'

During one of the episodes of Everybody's Crazy, Savannah James opened up on the choice of words around kids and how it impacts them in the long run. She said,
'I never want to have a negative conversation with my kid unless it's something that's being addressed and then the positive is coming after. So I just look at that from that way. But like, if it's like an argument or something that I'm trying to, like, I had a fact for, I got to rehearse it… I needed to have an outline. I needed to go like this. And it never does.'
As a proud mother of two teenage boys, Savannah James believes in keeping a positive attitude towards them, and the perfect choice of words even influences the behavior of the kids in a family.

Gary Payton calls out Luka Doncic's defense and challenges him to evolve with Los Angeles Lakers
NBA Hall of Famer Gary Payton spoke honestly about Luka Doncic and his defense. Payton also pointed out at the BudX NBA House event in Mumbai that while Doncic is an excellent offensive player, you never really know about his defense which brings me, once again, back to Kyrie Irving. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Doncic, who was the center of shockwaves during the trade that sent him from his Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers in February 2025, needed this feedback. Luka Doncic's defensive mindset under scrutiny During the press conference, Payton stated, "I don't think Luka is a defensive player; he's a scorer. But now, if he wants to, yes. But does he want to do it? That's up to him, not up to us." He went on to discuss how crucial mindset is for playing defense, emphasizing that it takes commitment, quickness, and a readiness to make sacrifices. Payton's remarks bring attention to a wider issue regarding Doncic's defensive skills, which has been a hot topic among analysts and fans. Doncic's move to the Lakers was part of a three-team trade that included the Utah Jazz, making it the first instance in NBA history where two current All-NBA Team players were exchanged during the season. The team explained that they made the trade to address the issue of team defense when they parted with Doncic and took in Anthony Davis. People were very critical of the team's decision and it prompted many discussions about where the Mavericks were headed. Despite the mixed reactions, Doncic is really looking forward to joining the Lakers and playing alongside LeBron James. On a recent podcast, he shared that the experience is "incredible" and complimented James's dedication. Still, Doncic noted that he's having a tough time adjusting to life in Los Angeles, especially with the heavy traffic. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As he gets ready for his first complete season with the Lakers, Doncic is dealing with the challenge of adapting to a new place and improving his defense. Doncic will play against his former team in Motley Crue's 'Welcome to the Jungle,' that was the sound a video game character made when it was hit and that got a lot of laughs and there will also be a lot of buzz heading into the preseason game next week on Oct. 15 in Las Vegas between the Lakers and Mavs. Doncic will have a chance to upgrade the defense of his game and address the criticisms leveled at him, including from Payton, in this game. Also Read: Gary Payton's statements are a wake-up call for Luka Doncic, stressing the need for a strong defensive attitude to achieve greatness in the NBA. As Doncic begins this new phase with the Los Angeles Lakers, his development into a more complete player will be essential. Everyone in the basketball world will be watching to see if Doncic can step up and establish his legacy among the elite.

Trampled over: on the RCB cup celebration, stampede in Bengaluru
In less than 24 hours, ecstasy turned into despair. Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title, secured on Tuesday night in Ahmedabad, triggered unabated joy and raucous celebrations in Bengaluru and the rest of Karnataka. However, by Wednesday evening, a thick shroud of grief hung over the southern metropolis as a ghastly stampede in and around RCB's home ground, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, left 11 dead and more than 50 injured. The hallowed venue was hosting a felicitation event in honour of the victorious team while fans outside, desperate to get in, ended up as a heaving chaotic mass with many gasping for breath. Asphyxia was the primary cause of death besides injuries suffered in the stifling rush. Sport is often a tight pact between the performing athlete and the adoring fan; it triggers emotions, and in the case of the IPL, forges a connection between the franchise and a vast audience. RCB has always had a loyal fan base, and the IPL triumph was bound to attract followers running into lakhs, towards the Central Business District of M.G. Road, Brigade Road, Cubbon Road, Queens Road and KSCA Clubhouse Link Road. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah admitted that the crowd was beyond expectations. However, to use a massive gathering as an explanation for an avoidable accident, is unacceptable. The multitude of fans near the Vidhana Soudha, the State legislature, from Wednesday morning should have compelled the authorities to tighten crowd control protocols. RCB had proclaimed that there would be an open-bus parade, but the police clarified that it would not happen. With no access to the Vidhana Soudha where the Chief Minister felicitated the players, the frenzied gathering rushed towards the stadium for a glimpse of stars such as Virat Kohli. The rumours about the gates being open to the public, and the contradictory messages about entry by invitation only, exacerbated the crisis. As the venue was packed, gates were closed but fans tried to force their way in. Be it the Karnataka State Cricket Association's (KSCA) security or police personnel, staffing was inadequate and a fatal climax was inevitable. The State Government, the RCB management, the KSCA and the BCCI have expressed their condolences while some have indulged in finger-pointing. The Chief Minister has announced that the Bengaluru Police Commissioner and all officials responsible for the jurisdiction where the stadium is have been suspended, pending an inquiry. There will also be a judicial inquiry. However, the grim truth is that the fan, who drives the commerce of every sport, is the last priority for administrators. Clear communication, effective policing and proper advance notice for an event of this scale are all essential or else, such tragedies might recur periodically.

Bengaluru stampede: CM suspends police commissioner, orders arrest of RCB, KSCA, and event firm representatives
CM Siddaramaiah ordered the arrest of representatives from RCB, Karnataka State Cricket Association, and event management firm following the stampede that killed police officials, including Bengaluru commissioner, have also been suspended read more People rummage through footwear strewn outside M. Chinnaswamy Stadium after a stampede caused by frenzied fans celebrating Royal Challengers Bengaluru's victory in the Indian Premier League cricket tournament, in Bengaluru, on Wednesday. AP In a major development, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday suspended Bengaluru police commissioner B Dayananda and several other senior police officials in connection with the stampede outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium that killed 11 people. He also ordered the arrest of representatives of the RCB team, the event management firm DNA Entertainment Private Limited, and the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), hours after an FIR was registered against them under various charges, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The state government's action came amidst an all-out attack by the BJP, which has demanded the resignations of Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivkumar, who accused it of playing 'dirty politics'. Speaking to reporters after a cabinet meeting, the Chief Minister also announced a one-man judicial probe, headed by Justice Michael D'Cunha, a retired High Court judge of Karnataka, into the tragic incident. 'We have told the commission to give the report in 30 days,' Siddaramaiah said. 'The cabinet has also decided to immediately suspend the Circle Police Inspector of the Cubbon Park Police station A K Girish and Assistant Commissioner of Police C BalaKRishna, Deputy Commissioner of Police of central division Shekhar H Tekkannavar, Additional Commissioner of Police Vikash Kumar Vikash, who is in charge of the stadium, and Commissioner of Police Bengaluru city Dayananda,' he added. The Chief Minister said he had instructed the DGP and IGP of the state to immediately arrest the representatives of RCB, DNA event managers, and Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). According to an official notification, senior IPS officer Seemanth Kumar Singh, Additional Director General of Police, Bengaluru Metropolitan Task Force, was 'transferred with immediate effect and posted until further orders' as Additional Director General of Police and Bengaluru police commissioner. The stampede occurred on Wednesday evening outside the stadium, where a large number of people thronged to participate in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) team's first-ever IPL victory celebrations. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The FIRs were registered following a complaint by a police inspector at Cubbon Park station, police said. Charges in the FIR included voluntarily causing hurt (section 115), voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt by using dangerous weapons or means (section 118), voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt to deter public servant from his duty (section 121) and unlawful assembly (section 190) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Also on Thursday, Bengaluru Urban Deputy Commissioner G Jagadeesha, who is heading the magisterial probe into the stampede, said notices will be issued to KSCA, RCB and others to join the inquiry while the Karnataka High Court, which took up the matter suo moto, directed the state government to file a status report into the tragic incident by June 10. Earlier in the day, Karnataka home minister Parameshwara announced that the government will formulate a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for mega events, meetings, and celebrations to prevent any untoward incidents. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Meanwhile, the families of those who died in the tragic incident on Wednesday remained inconsolable and blamed the authorities for the stampede. 'Why didn't they make proper arrangements? Go and see Mysore Palace Road – for political events, they arrange everything. For this celebration, they should have had proper planning. Intelligence should have been there,' said Shivakumar, the grieving father of 15-year-old Divyanshi. Relatives gathered at the home of the grieving family in Bengaluru's Yelahanka as the teen's body was taken for the last rites, a heartbreaking sight. The mortal remains of some of the victims, hailing from outside Bengaluru, were sent to their respective hometowns, including Siddapur in Uttara Kannada and Udumalaipettai in Tamil Nadu. Stepping up the attack against the Congress government in the state, BJP MP and national spokesperson Sambit Patra in New Delhi said,'This is clearly the failure of the state government. The state government will have to own its failure. The chief minister and the deputy chief minister will have to resign for the death of 11 innocent people and those who suffered injuries in the incident.' He also alleged that the 'mutual fight and rift' between the two led to the state 'government-manufactured stampede' and asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to break his silence over the tragic incident. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Earlier, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar turned emotional while talking about the tragedy and said that Bengaluru has lost its image due to the incident. 'We are deeply hurt. The victims are our own family. The image of Karnataka, the image of Bengaluru…Yes, we take it (responsibility). We are not blaming others, though it has happened very unexpectedly,' he said. Reacting to allegations by the opposition that police had not permitted celebrations, he said, " I don't want to react to any of these BJP guys. I am only answerable to the people of Karnataka and the people of the country. All BJP persons are nonsense… They are also the masterminds of these dirty things." He also accused the opposition BJP and JD(S) of playing politics on dead bodies and said that the state government has taken full responsibility for the incident. The state government also submitted a status report to the high court, informing that the investigation into the stampede has been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). A Special Investigation Team (SIT) within the CID will be formed to ensure a thorough and independent probe, it said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
