This weekend’s Nike World Basketball Festival attracted a number of notable athletes, including Devin Booker and Kevin Durant.
Some of the best high school basketball players in the country competed in games on a court set up in the middle of Lincoln Center in New York City for the festival.
Also present was former Suns fan favorite Mikal Bridges. In addition to Travis Scott and Lil Yachty, other celebrities such as Dirk Nowitzki, Scottie Pippen, Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, Carmelo Anthony, Ja Morant, and Victor Wembanyama were in attendance.
Booker has officially introduced the Nike “Book 1,” his first signature sneaker, which will debut in the spring of 2024. In an interview with Overtime conducted at the festival, he proudly displayed the footwear.When it comes to Nike athletes, Durant is among the most well-known. Nike just released a brand new KD 16 colorway that Durant will be rocking.
They were spotted at yesterday’s Baltimore Ravens game, where Booker’s close pal Odell Beckham Jr. was playing.
Booker, Durant, and the rest of the Suns report to training camp the first week of October. Their first preseason game is scheduled for October 8 in Detroit. The regular season kicks off with a road game against the Warriors on October 24.
Kelly Oubre Jr. Expected To Sign with Philadelphia 76ers
Kelly Oubre Jr., formerly of the Charlotte Hornets, is reportedly finalizing a one-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. Kelly Oubre Jr. was a highly sought-after free agent who had yet to be signed. It was first believed that he would be a highly sought-after free agent, but it soon became clear that this was not the case. Oubre will have to quickly adapt to his new team, as the upcoming preseason is only a few weeks away. The significance of Oubre’s one-year contract raises several questions.
While this one-year agreement may seem promising, it really enhances the probability that Oubre will try to boost his worth and test the market once more in the upcoming offseason. Oubre played with the Charlotte Hornets for the past two seasons.
After a stellar year in which he averaged 20.3 points and 5.2 rebounds for the Hornets, Oubre decided to leave the team. Last year, Oubre took a big step forward in his game and established himself as a fan favorite with the Hornets.
The Hornets will miss Oubre’s constant enthusiasm and mental fortitude, so his departure is sure to be a blow. Oubre had previously voiced his desire to rejoin the Hornets and his fondness for the Queen City. The rise of some of the young guys and the arrival of Brandon Miller left the Hornets with little room for Kelly Oubre Jr., so they made the decision to move on. The Hornets’ lack of interest in re-signing Kelly Oubre Jr. can mostly be attributed to their efforts to re-sign Miles Bridges.
The Philadelphia 76ers have strengthened their team by adding an important player. With Oubre, they’ll get a shooter, enthusiasm, and athleticism at the next level. With the Sixers, Oubre will likely be the team’s sixth man, but he won’t mind because he’ll still play a significant part for a squad that features reigning MVP Joel Embiid. This will be Oubre’s fifth organization he has played for.
