First off, both SKIMS and the NBA care about important stuff like including everyone, being diverse, and promoting body positivity. And it’s not just talk. SKIMS is all about making everyone feel welcome, offering different sizes, and even expanding into menswear. The NBA is all for diversity too, not just in the game but also among its fans. 

Next, this partnership is like a perfect match. SKIMS knows fashion and inclusivity, while the NBA has a massive fan base. When they join forces, it’s like a power-up, and it could mean more money.

And here’s the best part—both SKIMS and the NBA win. They get more attention, reach new customers, and boost their reputations. That’s a big deal for businesses.

Lastly, this isn’t just a one-time thing for attention. It’s a smart move that’ll stick around. SKIMS’ comfy and stylish clothes match perfectly with the cool image of NBA players. We can expect to see more from them as the partnerships continue.

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Miami Heat 102-96 in Game 4 of the NBA finals and are now one win away from securing the franchise’s first title in a decade.

Anthony Davis had 22 points, nine rebounds, and four assists for the Lakers, hitting a three-point dagger with 39.5 seconds left to seal the win for Los Angeles. Lebron James casually added 28 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists to help give the Lakers a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.

The Lakers had a complete game and looked focused, with nearly everyone in the starting lineup contributing. Danny Green added 10 points and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored another 15.

Miami was once again led by Jimmy Butler, who scored 22 points. They got 21 points from rookie Tyler Herro, 17 from Duncan Robinson, and 15 from Bam Adebayo, who didn’t look fully healthy after missing the last two games with a neck injury.

Butler must now rally the Heat and try to put together three straight wins if they want to complete an improbable upset.

Los Angeles and Miami will have a few days off to prepare for Game 5, which will be played on Saturday.

Most NBA analysts believed that Victor Oladipo’s time with the Indiana Pacers was coming to an end soon and that he would leave the team in 2021 free agency. However, rumor has it that the former All-Star shooting guard would rather leave as soon as possible.

Oladipo started his career with the Orlando Magic and Oklahoma City Thunder before being traded to Indiana in 2017, where he bloomed into one of the top shooting guards in the league. In his first season in Indiana, he became a first-time All-Star, led the league in steals, and was named to the All-Defensive First Team, also taking home the award for the NBA’s Most Improved Player.

Even if Oladipo does want to leave, the Pacers have the most say in the matter right now. He is under contract for the next season and will earn $21 million.

However, Oladipo is coming off an injury and if he truly does want out, it could be smarter for the Pacers to trade him now while his stock is high instead of letting him go in free agency without getting anything in return. Still not 100 percent after suffering a serious right knee injury in 2019, Oladipo only played in 19 games for Indiana this season.

Eight-time NBA All-Star Vince Carter retired in March 2020 after playing with the league for 22 years. The basketball star didn’t have to wait long before landing his next job at ESPN as a basketball analyst.

Carter signed a multi-year contract to cover NBA and men’s college basketball. This contract includes him filling in as a game analyst and appearing in in-studio on ESPN’s shows like NBA Countdown, The Jump, Get Up, and First Take.

While still playing in the NBA, Carter served a guest analysis on many ESPN shows.

During his 22-year-long career, Carter played with the Toronto Raptors, New Jersey Nets, and Atlanta Hawks among other teams. He also represented USA Basketball in several tournaments with the most memorable being the 2002 Olympic Games in Sydney where the team won gold.

Carter’s last season was with the Hawks, but due to COVID-19, he didn’t get a farewell game. His career average is 6.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game.
