Kobe alert!
It may be hard to believe, but the Lakers (the LA Lakers, not their G-League affiliate) have a Kobe in their starting lineup tonight.
Kobe Bufkin earned the call and is playing right now.
They're down 30 to the Spurs but Kobe just got signed to the big club through next season!

Friday morning G-League today! And I still kinda can’t get over that the star of the Lakers G-League team is a guy named Kobe Bufkin.
(Also no disrespect to his game. He scores about 27 a game and has 20 at halftime.)

Got to see the monks pass by as they walked through Arlington on their 2,300-mile Walk for Peace this afternoon.
This is near the end for them, as they will be in Washington tomorrow, before heading into Maryland for a bus back home to their monastery in Texas.

Maybe we should follow their lead more.

For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l
Olympic Covid restrictions are gone, but some athletes still self-quarantining

The man best known for eating an ear just promoted healthy eating for some MAHA group.
