LeBron James Forget More Rings Playing With Son Would Be Top NBA Achievement
Not one, not two, not three ... not even a bunch more championships would make LeBron James as happy as playing with his son in the NBA -- so says the King himself.
James' company, UNINTERRUPTED, released some behind-the-scenes footage from the lead-up to the NBA Finals ... when LeBron shockingly told reporters that playing with -- or even against -- LeBron James Jr. in the league would be his crowning NBA moment.
"You want to ask me what was the greatest achievement of my life? If I'm on the same court as my son in the NBA," James said.
"That would be no. 1 in my lifetime as an NBA player."
FYI ... Bronny's currently a 13-year-old eighth grader ... which would mean LeBron -- who turned 33 in December -- would have to play another six years in the league AT LEAST to have the shot to hoop with his kid.
BUT ... judging by Bronny's skills already -- a 39-year-old LeBron might just get his wish.

There's more ... Lonzo goes after Kuzma's style relentlessly, jabbin' at the fleece outfits he rocks and the "Kuzmania" shirts he's been trying to sell.

Rose McGowan Indicted by Grand Jury In Cocaine Possession Case
2:15 PM PT -- McGowan's attorney, Jose Baez, tells us, "Rose steadfastly maintains her innocence. These charges would have never been brought if it weren't for her activism as a voice for women everywhere. I assure you, this selective prosecution will be met with a strong defense."
Rose McGowan was just indicted by a grand jury in her ongoing cocaine possession case ... and could face jail time.
McGowan's been hit with one felony count of cocaine possession. As we reported, cops say back in January 2017 they found several small bags of cocaine in a wallet Rose had left behind on a flight at Washington Dulles International Airport.
McGowan pled not guilty to the charge ... saying she had been without the wallet for 5 hours before getting it back. Rose -- who was one of the first to stand up to Harvey Weinstein -- says she believed the disgraced movie mogul may have had a hand in planting the cocaine to damage her credibility.
If convicted, Rose could face up to a year behind bars.

Rose McGowan is defending her friend, and Anthony Bourdain's girlfriend, Asia Argento ... saying there is NO reason to play the blame game after his suicide.
Rose says she knows people who knew Anthony, or just loved him on TV, want to "lash out and blame" someone for his death, but says Asia is not the one to blame. Rose is reportedly in Italy comforting Asia and calls her a "brave survivor."
She
describing the chemistry between Asia and Anthony ... saying they both battled demons and, at times, both wanted to die. Rose and Asia bonded as alleged victims of Harvey Weinstein, and Rose says Asia "did the work to get help, so she could stay alive" for her children -- but "Anthony's depression didn't let him, he put down his armor, and that was very much his choice."
As we reported, photos surfaced last week of Asia hugging and holding hands with a French reporter -- at the same time Anthony was in France. Rose says people shouldn't read into that because, "Anthony and Asia had a free relationship, they loved without borders of traditional relationships."
And there's this ... Rose says Anthony sought help for his depression but, for some reason, didn't take the doctor's advice. She adds, "It is in no way fair or acceptable to blame her or anyone else, not even Anthony."

Tyson's explanation for it was pretty simple the following day -- WE AIN'T FRIENDS!!

Remember, Iron Mike and Don have had beef for a long time ... with Tyson at one point suing him for $100 MILLION alleging Don cheated him out of a TON of money when he used to promote Mike's fights.

FOX News' Charles Krauthammer Reveals Terminal Cancer ... Weeks to Live
4:33 PM PT-- Rupert Murdoch, the Executive Chairman of FOX News and 21st Century FOX, said in a statement ... “Charles has been a profound source of personal and intellectual inspiration for all of us at Fox News. His always principled stand on the most important issues of our time has been a guiding star in an often turbulent world, a world that has too many superficial thinkers vulnerable to the ebb and flow of fashion, and a world that, unfortunately, has only one Charles Krauthammer. His words, his ideas, his dignity and his integrity will resonate within our society and within me for many, many years to come.”
Longtime FOX News analyst Charles Krauthammer says he's been diagnosed with terminal cancer and only has a few weeks to live ... but wants everyone to know, "It was a wonderful life."
The 68-year-old political commentator says he's been "uncharacteristically silent these past ten months" after surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in his abdomen.
Doctors initially thought the surgery was successful, but recent tests show the cancer is aggressive and spreading rapidly and he only has weeks to live.
"My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live. This is the final verdict. My fight is over," Krauthammer wrote in an open letter.
Krauthammer -- who is paralyzed from a diving incident decades ago -- thanked his employers, his colleagues, readers and viewers and
"I leave this life with no regrets. It was a wonderful life full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living."
"I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended."

Anthony Bourdain Dead at 61 ... Apparent Suicide
Beloved chef and TV host Anthony Bourdain is dead of an apparent suicide.
Bourdain was found dead in his hotel room in Strasbourg, France ... according to CNN. The network says Bourdain's friend and fellow chef Eric Ripert discovered the body Friday morning. He had hanged himself.
They were on location in France shooting an episode of his award-winning show, 'Parts Unknown.'
Ripert tells us, "Anthony was a dear friend. He was an exceptional human being, so inspiring and generous. One of the great storytellers of our time who connected with so many. I wish him peace. My love and prayers are with his family, friends and loved ones."
Bourdain made his name first as a chef ... and then an author. His famous book, "Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly," was published in 2000, and its enormous success helped him jump into TV.
His first show was "A Cook's Tour" on the Food Network -- but the series 'No Reservations' on the Travel Channel was his breakout hit.
In 2013, 'Parts Unknown' premiered on CNN, and it immediately won a Peabody Award. During a 2016 episode, shot in Argentina, Bourdain admitted he sometimes struggled with depression.
His last Instagram post was a meal he had 4 days ago in France. In typical Bourdain fashion ... lots of meats and potatoes.
His suicide comes just 3 days after Kate Spade took her own life by hanging herself in her NYC home.
Bourdain leaves behind an 11-year-old daughter. He was 61.
RIP
JANUARY 2018

Anthony Bourdain Talked Depression in 'Parts Unknown' ... 'I Feel Very Isolated'

Breaking News
- 10 shares
Anthony Bourdain revealed he suffered from depression during a 2016 episode of 'Parts Unknown' -- in which he said something as simple as a bad burger could send him into a downward spiral.
Bourdain addressed the issue while visiting Argentina -- a country that fascinated him because it embraced psychoanalysis and mental health treatment.
The episode featured several scenes of Bourdain speaking with his therapist and addressing real issues in his life. And, even though it seems like a joke at first, it becomes clear he's not kidding around.
When asked what brought him into the office, Bourdain says ... "I will find myself in an airport, for instance, and I'll order an airport hamburger. It's an insignificant thing, it's a small thing, it's a hamburger, but it's not a good one. Suddenly I look at the hamburger and I find myself in a spiral of depression that can last for days."
He goes on to explain how he often feels alone.
"I feel kind of like a freak and I feel very isolated. I communicate for a living but I'm terrible at communicating with people I care about."
The episode ended with Bourdain saying he has positive moments too.
"There's the evil cheeseburger that sets me off. Suddenly I'm super depressed for days. It's like that with the good stuff too. I have a couple of happy minutes there where I'm thinking, life is pretty good."

The cup was the Capitals' first in their 43-year franchise history ... so, to the victor go the ... spoils?
