Nick Young of the Los Angeles Lakers has been victimized by thieves for the second time in three years. In 2014, his former home had $100,000 worth of valuables pilfered from it.
TMZ reports that his new L.A. area home was the scene of a much bigger robbery in February.
A suspect or suspects gained entry to the home through an unlocked door. When they were done the 31-year old basketball player's entire safe had been hauled off.
$30,000 in cash, a custom ring, three gold chains and other items were taken. The sum total of the theft was $500,000.
Twenty years ago today we lost one of the greatest emcees to ever live. The Notorious B.I.G., born Christopher Wallace, was just 24-years old when an unknown assailant shot him to death in Los Angeles.
The Brooklyn, New York native had not even reached his peak, yet he lyrically stood tall over his counterparts.
Both of his solo albums, "Ready to Die" (1994) and "Life After Death" (1997) are widely considered to be classics.
Biggie also introduced the world to Lil Kim and Lil Cease as part of his group Junior M.A.F.I.A. They released one album in 1995 titled "Conspiracy," which spawned the hit songs "Player's Anthem" and "Get Money."
Wherever you're at, pop in a Biggie Smalls CD and raise a toast to a true legend of hip hop. May he rest in peace.

Longtime collaboratorsTrinaandTrick Daddyare joining forces to release a joint album titled "Trick and Trina."
“Yesterday me and Trina signed a deal for a ‘Trick & Trina’ collabo album. So we bringing the city back,” Trick Daddy announced this week to Mass Appeal. “I just want this Trick & Trina record to be classic. I’m going to turn the Diamond Princess back to the Baddest Bitch.”
The friendship between the two dates back to 1998 when they worked together on Trick's hit song "Nann Nigga."
Trick feels like other regions of the country are losing the sound fans grew accustomed to. He doesn't want to see that happen to Miami.
“ATL doesn’t have a sound no more. Miami doesn’t have a sound no more. New York doesn’t have a sound no more,” he explained. “With the exception of Remy Ma & Fat Joe, I don’t remember the last time I heard a real New York record. With the exception of the Migos, I don’t remember the last time I heard an Atlanta record. Miami has a couple artists doing things like, Pitbull and Flo-Rida, but we need to take it back to those days, because if it wasn’t for DJ Khaled, I don’t know if our name and face would even still be mentioned or placed in a hall of fame.”
Between them, Trina and Trick have 13 solo albums. This will be their first full length effort together.
“[The collaboration album is] just something the fans always wanted, and now we’re officially going to make it happen,” Slip N’ Slide CEO Ted Lucas says. “Trick put Miami on the map with gangsta music, which was different from all perspectives. When Miami was known for booty shaking, Trick was able to change the culture of what people thought about of Miami music, and Trina was able to put female rappers on the map. We’re excited about it, and looking forward to it.”
Figure skater Zahra Lari model wears Nike's new hijab for Muslim female athletes
Video And Pics After The Jump
BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) — Nike has unveiled a hijab for Muslim female athletes.
The Nike Pro Hijab has been in development for a year, the company said. Athletes contributed input into the product, and figure skater Zahra Lari was among those who tested it.
The pull-on hijab is made of light, stretchy fabric that includes tiny holes for breathability and an elongated back so it will not come untucked. It will come in three colors: black, vast grey and obsidian. Beaverton-based Nike says the hijab will be available for sale next year.
Lari, a hopeful for the Winter Olympics next year in Pyeongchang, South Korea, posted photos of herself wearing the hijab on her Instagram page. Lari is from Abu Dhabi and represents the United Arab Emirates.
"Can't believe this is finally here!!" she wrote.
Last summer, fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad of New York became the first Muslim American woman to compete for the United States wearing a hijab at the Olympics. She earned a bronze medal at the Rio Games.
The U-17 Women's World Cup last October in Jordan marked the first time Muslim players wore headscarves during a FIFA event. Soccer's international governing body formally lifted a ban on head coverings in 2014, recognizing Muslim and Sikh players.
Meanwhile, the governing body for basketball, FIBA, has come under fire for banning headscarves during international competition.

Producer JBravo dropped a brand new single “Don’t Understand” ft. Tyre Hakim & Ann Marie and it’s the perfect song to help you celebrate the one you love. Laced with an angelic hook from internet sweetheart Ann Marie, it carries the melody into Tyre’s simple verses for the ladies. From beginning to end, the single progresses flawlessly complete with a subtle bridge that brings it back to the calm soothing hook. The single can be categorized as the perfect marriage of a classic love song fusing songwriting and a traditional R&B throwback feel. "Don’t Understand" reminds listeners of high-school, the 90’s, and the days when music was timeless.
King Bo is back with a new club-friendly single inspired by EFFEN Vodka called 'Motha Effen Party'. The track has recently been played by DJ Kay Slay and DJ Chubby Chub on the airwaves.
Looks likeNicki Minaj is trying to lull everyone to sleep while she plots her lyrical revenge against Remy Ma for dissing her on "Shether."
According to TMZ, sources close to Nicki say the song is full of lies that don't warrant a response ... at least not yet.
During the nearly seven minute diss Remy lobs bombs at Nicki by claiming her butt is fake, has slept with Trey Songz, Lil Wayne and Drake. In addition, Remy said the "Super Bass" rapper had songs ghostwritten for her by Safaree Samuels, used cocaine, bullied Miley Cyrus, Mariah Carey and Taylor Swift because she knew they wouldn't fire back and more.
Meanwhile, Nicki has kept busy by recently making a splash duringParis Fashion Weekand collaborating on songs withFutureandGucci Mane.
She may clap back at Remy sometime in the future, but feels like she's winning the battle so far by remaining silent.
