7/8/25: LL Stands with Philly Unions; Jaleel White’s LeBron Theory; Paul Pierce Best Pure Scorer?

In a display of solidarity with ongoing union strikes in Philadelphia, LL Cool J decided to drop out of the Wawa Welcome America concert in the city, saying that he can’t perform there while so many people are hurting as union workers in various areas of employment fight to strike a more favorable deal. Is this a good look for LL? On an interesting note, Jaleel White was asked about Drake and LeBron James’ apparent fallout and why, if they are friends, LeBron would elect to attend Kendrick Lamar’s The Pop Out concert in Los Angeles. Jaleel says some people can’t help but gravitate toward what’s hot, even if that means betraying a friend. Do you agree? Plus, Paul Pierce has said on national television that he is the best pure scorer in NBA history. Although he likely is saying so tongue-in-cheek to suggest he should always be mentioned when talking about great scorers in history, it was a still a bold take. Do you think Paul is right? We also talk about Cardi B seemingly clarifying rumors she broke up with Stefon Diggs, Dwight Howard getting divorced from his wife after only 6 months of marriage, and Kai Cenat facing backlash for partnering with Target to launch his self-care brand.
