Former NBA star and coach Derek Fisher lost some of his most prized possessions after his Los Angeles home was broken into.

TMZ reports that Fisher called police to report the break-in Monday morning, January 30. He said he left home around 7:30 a.m. When he returned it was apparent that someone had been inside while he was gone.

Authorities believe the thief or thieves entered the residence through a side door. An estimated $300,000 worth of jewelry, including the five championship rings Fisher won while playing for the L.A. Lakers was stolen.

The Los Angeles Police Department have launched an investigation into the incident.

Fisher played point guard for 18 years in the NBA for 6 teams, including the Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz, Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder.

He retired following the 2013 season and was hired as a head coach by the New York Knicks on June 10, 2014. Fisher coached the team until he was fired on February 8, 2016, after compiling an overall record of 40–96.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In an extraordinary public showdown, President Donald Trump fired the acting attorney general of the United States after she publicly questioned the constitutionality of his refugee and immigration ban and refused to defend it in court.

WH: Yates ‘betrayed' the DOJ … @JoeNBC: It is frightening that the Trump admin. actually views dissent that way https://t.co/f8BeysSZkR

— Morning Joe (@Morning_Joe) January 31, 2017

The clash Monday night between Trump and Sally Yates, a career prosecutor and Democratic appointee, laid bare the growing discord and dissent surrounding an executive order that halted the entire U.S. refugee program and banned all entries from seven Muslim-majority nations for 90 days. The firing, in a written statement released just hours after Yates went public with her concerns, also served as a warning to other administration officials that Trump is prepared to terminate those who refuse to carry out his orders.

Yates' refusal to defend the executive order was largely symbolic given that Sen. Jeff Sessions, Trump's pick for attorney general, will almost certainly defend the policy once he's sworn in. He's expected to be confirmed Tuesday by the Senate Judiciary Committee and could be approved within days by the full Senate.

Yet the firing reflected the mounting conflict over the executive order, as administration officials have moved to distance themselves from the policy and even some of Trump's top advisers have made clear that they were not consulted on its implementation.

As protests erupted at airports across the globe, and as legal challenges piled up in courthouses, Yates directed agency attorneys not to defend the executive order. She said in a memo Monday she was not convinced it was lawful or consistent with the agency's obligation "to stand for what is right."

Trump's press secretary, Sean Spicer, soon followed with a statement accusing Yates of having "betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States." Trump named longtime federal prosecutor Dana Boente, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, as Yates' replacement. Boente was sworn in privately late Monday, the White House said, and rescinded Yates's directive.

Also late Monday, the acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement was removed. The administration didn't offer any explanation for the move, only said via Twitter that Daniel Ragsdale is returning to his previous position as deputy director. ICE executive associate director Thomas Homan was elevated to the role of acting chief.

Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said in a statement that Homan had led efforts "to identify, arrest, detain, and remove illegal aliens." The statement didn't mention Ragsdale.

The chain of events bore echoes of the Nixon-era "Saturday Night Massacre," when the attorney general and deputy attorney general resigned rather than follow an order to fire a special prosecutor investigating the Watergate scandal. The prosecutor, Archibald Cox, was fired by the solicitor general.

Yates, a holdover from the Obama administration who was the top federal prosecutor in Atlanta and later became Loretta Lynch's deputy, was not alone in her misgivings about the policy and its rollout.

At least three top national security officials — Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and Rex Tillerson, who is awaiting confirmation to lead the State Department — have told associates they were not aware of details of the directive until around the time Trump signed it. Leading intelligence officials were also left largely in the dark, according to U.S. officials.

Thank you Sally Yates. You knew Trump (who lost the popular vote) would fire you for following the Constitution. My kids will know your name

Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that despite White House assurances that congressional leaders were consulted, he learned about the order from the media.

A large group of career diplomats circulated several drafts of a memo arguing that the order Trump signed last week will not make the U.S. safe, saying it runs counter to American values and will fuel anti-American sentiment around the world.

Spicer challenged those opposed to the measure to resign. "They should either get with the program or they can go," he said.

Trump's order pauses America's entire refugee program for four months, indefinitely bans all those from war-ravaged Syria and temporarily freezes immigration from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. Federal judges in New York and several other states issued orders that temporarily block the government from deporting people with valid visas who arrived after Trump's travel ban took effect and found themselves in limbo.

Yates on Monday said that she had reviewed the policy and concluded that it was at odds with the Justice Department's mission. She said that though other lawyers in the department had reviewed the order, their review had not addressed whether it was "wise or just."

"I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution's solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right," Yates wrote in a letter.

Trump said the order had been "approved" by Justice Department lawyers. However, the department has said the Office of Legal Counsel review was limited to whether the order was properly drafted, but did not address broader policy questions.

The blowback underscored Trump's tenuous relationship with his own national security advisers, many of whom he met for the first time during the transition.

Mattis, who stood next to Trump during Friday's signing ceremony, is said to be particularly incensed. A senior U.S. official said Mattis, along with Joint Chiefs Chairman Joseph Dunford, was aware of the general concept of Trump's order but not the details. Tillerson has told the president's political advisers that he was baffled over not being consulted on the substance of the order.

U.S. officials and others with knowledge of the Cabinet's thinking insisted on anonymity in order to disclose the officials' private views.

Despite his public defense of the policy, the president has privately acknowledged flaws in the rollout, according to a person with knowledge of his thinking. But he's also blamed the media — his frequent target — for what he believes are reports exaggerating the dissent and the number of people actually affected.

After a chaotic weekend during which some U.S. legal permanent residents were detained at airports, some agencies were moving swiftly to try to clean up after the White House.

Homeland Security, the agency tasked with implementing much of the refugee ban, clarified that customs and border agents should allow legal residents to enter the country. The Pentagon was trying to exempt Iraqis who worked alongside the U.S. and coalition forces from the 90-day ban on entry from the predominantly Muslim countries.

Cleveland Cavaliers superstar and NBA Hall of Famer turned television analyst, Charles Barkley, are involved in a war of words.

LeBron's team are the defending NBA champions. They currently sit on top of the Eastern Conference standings with a record of 32-15, but have lost 6 of their last 10 games.

Following Cleveland’s fifth loss in 7 games Monday, January 23, in New Orleans, King James said his team lacks depth.

“It's been a shitty 2017 so far. We’re not better than last year, from a personnel standpoint. We’re top-heavy as shit,” James griped. “It's me, [Kyrie Irving] and [Kevin Love]. It's top heavy. I'm not singling out anybody, I'm not. Yeah, we won [the championship], but fuck, you know what, let's see if we can do something.”

Barkley responded on TNT's "Inside the NBA," by criticizing the three-time NBA Finals MVP.

"Inappropriate. Whiny. All of the above," Barkley said of James' comments last week. "The Cleveland Cavaliers, they have given him everything he wanted. They have the highest payroll in NBA history. He wanted J.R. Smith last summer, they paid him. He wanted [Iman] Shumpert last summer. They brought in Kyle Korver. He's the best player in the world. Does he want all of the good players? He don't want to compete? He is an amazing player. They're the defending champs. He's got Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. He want everybody? He don't wanna compete?"

James fired back at Barkley following his team's loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday, January 30.

"He's a hater," James told ESPN of Barkley. "What makes what he says credible? Because he's on TV? "I'm not going to let him disrespect my legacy like that," James told ESPN. "I'm not the one who threw somebody through a window. I never spit on a kid. I never had unpaid debt in Las Vegas. I never said, 'I'm not a role model.' I never showed up to All-Star Weekend on Sunday because I was in Vegas all weekend partying.

"All I've done for my entire career is represent the NBA the right way. Fourteen years, never got in trouble. Respected the game. Print that."

Well damn!

The executive order that President Donald Trump signed last week that put a 90-day ban on entry into the United States for citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries, has been met with heavy criticism. Several world leaders questioned the decision to exclude people because on their religion.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault tweeted: "Terrorism doesn't have a nationality; discrimination is not an answer."

German Chancellor Angela Merkel voiced similar concerns: "The necessary and decisive fight against terrorism in no way justifies a general suspicion against people of certain beliefs, in this case people of the Muslim faith or from a certain origin. These actions, according to my beliefs, are against the core idea of international aid for refugees and international cooperation," he said.

Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek tweeted: "#RefugeesWelcome in #Turkey, the world's largest refugee hosting country. We'd happily welcome global talent not allowed back into #USA."

According to Trump, once the ban is lifted citizens from Somalia, Sudan, Iraq, Libya, Iran and Yemen will have to go through an "extreme vetting process" before being allowed to enter America.

Syrian refugees have been banned permanently.

Thousands of people have been participating in protests across the U.S.

TMZ Sports caught up with basketball Hall of Famer and business mogul, Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr., to get his opinion on the situation.

"It's wrong to discriminate against people. And we have a lot of great Muslim brothers and sisters who are here doing a wonderful job of being great Americans," Johnson said. "Also too, it's not just them. Wanting to send Latinos back home and build a wall to keep people out ... it's just not who we are as Americans.

"And even, a lot of times not taking us, as African Americans serious as well," he continued. "It's not a good time and mistreating women, it's not a good time. He's gotta learn that you can't just be a dictator. We've never had a president like that. We've always had a president who brought the country together. And that's what need right now, and we're not getting that."
