The NBA All-Star break did not end well for Charlotte Hornets star guard LaMelo Ball. He crashed his custom Hummer in the city Wednesday.

Video footage obtained by WSOC-TV captured the moment when Ball’s vehicle smashed into a gray sedan heading straight while he was attempting to make a left turn.

Ball’s Hummer, which was wrapped in a camouflage pattern, continued to roll slowly as the sedan remained in the video’s frame. There was clear damage to both vehicles.

The Hummer lost its driver’s front side wheel in the accident, and the Kia had considerable front-end damage.

Ball exited his vehicle with no apparent injuries, while the status of the sedan driver is unknown.

Ball stayed at the site of the crash while both vehicles were getting towed. WSOC-TV reported that he left when someone in a Lamborghini picked him up.

Dreamworks Motorsports worked hard on Ball’s 2022 Hummer EV Edition 1, adding large custom wheels with orange rims that said “1 of 1” on the inside.

The design replicated his signature Puma basketball shoe.

It’s been a vehicle Ball has used frequently in Charlotte since Dreamworks Motorsports finished it for him.

Terence Crawford wants Naoya Inoue to test himself against US pound for pound star

Published

on

Now retired, Terence Crawford has a number of big fights he wants to watch as a fan, one of which includes Naoya Inoue.

Inoue has won titles in four weight divisions so far, but has notably dominated at both bantamweight and super-bantamweight, where he became one of the three multi-divisional undisputed world champions of the four-belt era.

Now, ‘The Monster’ is set for his toughest test to date, tasked with countryman and fellow pound-for-pound star, Junto Nakatani, who has also maintained his undefeated record whilst claiming world honours in three weight classes.

Whilst fans are eager for Inoue to move up to featherweight following his clash with Nakatani, the 32-year-old has revealed plans to remain at 122lbs for one more fight after his domestic dust-up.

Speculation on who Japan’s premier force may have in mind for his final super-bantamweight outing has begun, particularly considering he has more-or-less cleaned out the division in his three years at the weight.

However, Terence Crawford will be hoping that Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez will be the target, having told Dani Pirrello that he would love to see that fight.

“I would love to see ‘Bam’ [Jesse Rodriguez] versus [Naoya] Inoue.”

Rodriguez looks set to take on Antonio Vargas upon his bantamweight debut in June, as the unified super-flyweight world champion moves one division closer to Inoue, potentially teeing up another blockbuster showdown for boxing’s much-debated pound-for-pound king.

‘Bam’ and trainer Robert Garcia have expressed interest in jumping up further to face Inoue, and the match-up has all the ingredients to warrant the interest of boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh, who works with both men.

Footage Emerges Of Cody Rhodes Destroying Set & Stealing WWE Championship With Help Of Unexpected Person

Published

Cody Rhodes has done what no one thought him capable of before WrestleMania, as he has broken into a set with the help of an unexpected name, destroyed it, and stolen back his WWE title. The star was caught on a security camera and is now visible to everyone.

Pat McAfee aired footage of when Cody Rhodes broke into his ThunderDome setup and destroyed it, while apparently also stealing the WWE title that had been taken from him in the first place.

The footage showed McAfee’s staff member, DBone, letting Cody into the studio, then mopping and doing little while he went on to destroy the set.

“He seemingly just let an as*hole in here to ruin our set. Run the footage Foxy. This is from the security cameras. DBone down here, mopping the ThunderDome floor. He hears something to his right is what he says. Pounding on the door is what he says. Let me go see what’s going on out here. That would end up being Cody Rhodes. When you’re first seeing the footage you’d have no idea that that is Cody Rhodes. DBone just walked his a** in here, gets back to mopping.”

McAfee commented on how Rhodes destroyed a collectible with a bat and how he spiked their computer while also stealing Randy Orton’s title. It should be noted that Orton is not the current champion, and they stole the title, with the Viper allowing McAfee to keep it.

“Cody right up on to the stage. Full day of media in New York. I would find out later he posted on his story, ‘I’m going to New York, then question mark, then Vegas….’ Takes my bat, and busts a once in a lifetime collectible. Takes my mic, and takes Randy Orton’s title out of here. And then on his way out, D-Bone, doing nothing yet again… spikes our computer. Then what was that….”

The video shows, at the end, Rhodes patting DBone on the shoulder, something McAfee and his crew didn’t take well, and even went so far as to say that they might have been in cahoots.

The video can be seen below.

Randy Orton won’t be happy that Rhodes has the title back.
