During the 21-minute interview, the one-time NBA champion gave a shoutout to Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball. Bobby Portis said he’s a huge fan of LaMelo Ball’s herky-jerky style of play, especially after seeing it firsthand last month when Ball dropped 50 points, five rebounds, 10 assists, and six three-pointers in the 125-119 win for the Milwaukee Bucks. “I love LaMelo Ball’s game. Bro be hooping like he’s in the park, man. One-leg shots, he’ll be shooting all like it’s crazy!” Portis…

Cam Newton believes that the Green Bay Packers are not yet Super Bowl contenders, especially after they lost 34-31 to the Detroit Lions last Thursday in a game that could have huge implications for the playoff race. According to the one-time NFL MVP and Super Bowl finalist, the Green Bay Packers should be able to qualify for the postseason, but not the Super Bowl this year. “Legit playoff contenders? Yes. Super Bowl contenders? Not so fast,” Newton said on ESPN First Take. “There was some things I seen in last night’s game where I thought okay Jordan Love is legit.…

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft got a huge shoutout from WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels for his viral kip-up move during their 34-31 defeat against the Detroit Lions on Thursday night, which is a nice consolation prize. The play happened late in the third period, as Kraft gave the Green Bay Packers a new set of downs with 41 seconds left. The South Dakota State product avoided Kerby Joseph, as the Detroit Lions safety was going for his legs and Kraft channeled his inner Shawn Michaels when he fell to the ground after a 21-yard gain: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/l38gbiieqGM…

Tucker Kraft probably regrets talking trash to Kerby Joseph, as the Detroit Lions safety roasted the Green Bay Packers tight end after the 34-31 defeat on Thursday Night football.

Kerby Joseph was asked about Tucker Kraft after the game, and he delivered a savage response, via Christopher Kuhagen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “You talking about mac ‘n cheese Kraft?” Joseph said tongue in cheek. “I…
