LeBron James could become face of Vegas ownership group
It may seem like a wild idea on the surface, but LeBron James could become the majority owner just as Michael Jordan did with the Charlotte Bobcats back in 2010.

At least that’s the theory Bill Simmons dives into in his latest podcast.

BUFFALO, N.Y., May 15 (Reuters) - A white teenager who fatally shot 10 people in a racist attack at a New York grocery store in a Black neighborhood had been taken into custody and given a mental health evaluation a year ago, but was released after roughly a day, authorities said on Sunday.

The suspect, Payton Gendron, 18, surrendered to police on Saturday at the Buffalo, New York, grocery store after what authorities called an act of "racially motivated violent extremism." He apparently publicized a racist manifesto on the internet.

Pearly Young, 77, was killed today in #Buffalo shopping for groceries.

For 25 years she ran a pantry where every Saturday she fed people in Central Park. Every. Saturday.
She loved singing, dancing, & being with family.

She was mother, grandma, & missionary. Gone too soon 🕊

Isn't it interesting though that no matter how many minorities they kill; the Lord will provide and replace -they are still sacred of being replaced.
