Skip Bayless Questions LeBron James' Injury ... Heated Exchange W/ Shannon
Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe went at it Tuesday morning on their FS1 show "Undisputed" ... after Skip insinuated LeBron James is lying about his injury.
Of course, it was reported Monday that James might miss substantial time with a right foot injury ... but Skip isn't buying he's hurt, questioning the legitimacy of LeBron's injury.
Bayless told Sharpe he hasn't seen any difference in Bron since the Lakers superstar turned 38 in December, and said he appeared to be fine during Sunday's game vs. Dallas.
Sharpe, however, took issue with Skip's comments, especially since LBJ said he "heard it pop" against the Mavs, prompting a war of words between the two hosts.

“Why is it when someone says something is wrong with LeBron James you either say it’s not that serious or he’s lying?” Sharpe asked. "But you’ve never called into question when Tom Brady said anything."
James, meanwhile, posted a pic of his right foot on Instagram Monday ... with the caption, "Fkn Sucks!!!! "
Skip is known for being critical of LeBron ... but Sharpe was having none of his latest theory, which figures to have NBA fans like Shannon up in arms.

Lux was visibly upset while discussing the injury with the media just minutes ago ... fighting back tears as he spoke about it.
"You put in a lot of time and work and you really enjoy the guys in the clubhouse," Lux said at the Dodgers' facility. "The hardest part is just not being able to be on the field, for sure."
Lux says he felt his knee pop right away ... and the outside of his leg went numb.
"S*** happens, so control what you can control and crush my rehab and try to be ready for 2024 when it rolls around and that's kinda all you can do," he added.
It was slated to be a big year for Lux, who was going to be the Dodgers' starting shortstop -- a role he's wanted since he was a kid.
"I think every baseball player's dream is to play shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers. So, yeah, I think that's one of the hardest parts."
Lux said his teammates have been nothing but supportive throughout the process ... adding it just goes to show "how good these guys in the clubhouse are."
Lux will have surgery next week ... and is expected to be out 8 months.
Get well soon, Gavin.

G Herbo Takes On Birth Simulator ... Nails Delivery Room Screams!!!
G Herbo got a taste of what it took to bring his 3 kids into the world by messing around with a birth simulator and taking things to the max ... his internal organs be damned!!!
The Chicago rap star was the latest guest on Kai Cenat's live stream and was eager to flex his toughness until he felt the power of the initial setting rupturing his insides.
Herbo first described the feeling as "tingly" as he attempted to use his past labor room experience to guide him through the pain. That didn't really work out for him.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
He also took a couple of shots of alcohol as a cheat code, but still managed to successfully get through setting 10 on the simulator. Not exactly the equivalent of a woman having an hours-long labor before birth, but Herbo made sure to give a shout-out to all the mothers who push out babies for real.
He's an extremely active father, but we're sure this experience will make him think differently about making some more!!!
Kai actually gave the device a go a day before Herbo pulled up. Similar results ... pain city, baby!!!

Travis Barker I'm Giving Surgeons the Finger Drummer Goes Under the Knife
Travis Barker released new images of his grotesque hand injury as goes under the knife today ... and his injuries seem even worse than everyone thought.
The Blink-182 drummer posted a video showing his horribly deformed finger getting massaged by a doctor who asks if he feels pain. Travis responds, "I mean, yeah, it's painful."
He also posted two photos -- one showing a close up of his finger with either a lump or a bone out of place. The other picture depicts him with a Velcro strap over his damaged hand. His caption read, "Surgery tomorrow 🤞"
Travis actually reinjured the finger ... a few weeks ago he said he was playing the drums during rehearsal and smashed his finger so badly it tore some ligaments.
Here's the problem ... Blink-182 has a world tour that kicks off next month, so it's unclear exactly what condition Travis will be in to perform ... at least on the early dates.
Kourtney Kardashian seemed worried, posting ... "🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️"
Finger's crossed ... maybe a bad choice of words.

Britney Spears Warned by Animal Control After Dog Gets Out & Bites Elderly Man

9:59 AM PT -- 2/25 -- Sam posted his thanks to a group called Dog Days Search & Rescue, which found their 2 dogs that escaped from their property, calling it "the best search and rescue here in Southern California." He says their dogs "ran like Forrest Gump out the door, and they were found 5-6 miles down the road." He's also promoting the dog charity and its good work.
Britney Spears, Sam Asghari and their security team will need to keep a closer watch on her beloved pooches, after at least one of the dogs got out and bit an elderly man.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us Britney's Doberman named Porsha got out from her Thousand Oaks property Thursday and was roaming the neighborhood. We're told at some point, Porsha came in contact with a man in his 70s who was riding his bike.
Our sources say the man got off his bike, and Porsha bit him in the leg before a member from Britney's security team came along to wrangle the pooch. We're told the man went to get his bite checked out at a local urgent care.
A source close to Britney tells us her team was later contacted by animal control and advised to make sure the dog stays on the property and doesn't get out again. The Britney source tells us the incident was described as more of a "nip" than a bite.
10/8/21
It was back in October 2021 when Sam gifted Britney Porsha, posting a video with the pup and exclaiming, "It's going to be trained to protect you from any motherf***er that comes around you with bad intentions."
Looks like Porsha might be taking guard dog duties a little too seriously.

Ex-NFL Star LenDale White I Suffered Massive Heart Attack In '19 ... Nearly Died
Ex-NFL star LenDale White says he almost lost his life at 34 ... revealing this week he suffered a massive heart attack four years ago that he admits probably should have killed him.
The former USC tailback dropped the bombshell while appearing on the "I Am Athlete" podcast ... telling ex-NFL stars Brandon Marshall, Adam "Pacman" Jones and Marshawn Lynch the medical emergency happened on Jan. 20, 2019.
White says the left anterior descending artery in his heart had clogged ... and docs had to shoot two stints into his ticker so his blood could flow again.
White explained he learned a short time later that the type of heart attack he suffered kills most people.
"It's called a 'widow-maker,'" he told the guys on the pod, "because you're really not supposed to make it back from that."
The 38-year-old said only a handful of people -- including Pacman and his good friend and former teammate Chris Johnson -- knew about it ... because he simply didn't want any sympathy from outsiders.
White -- who was picked by the Titans in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft -- says he's now supremely focused on taking care of his body ... after he admitted it was not a priority for him at all during his football career.
"I gave dogs 1,000 yards and was smoking kush every day and never worked out, squatted, nothing," he said. "To go in there and be like, 'I got to squat now for fun,' it ain't -- you know. But s***, when you want to save your life, yeah, I'mma squat all day."

Travis and his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, were seen Monday walking hand-in-hand -- gently, we hope -- through the streets of WeHo. Both were slurping iced matcha drinks, so Trav seemed pretty relaxed ... not at all freaking out about his banged-up digit.

The good news ... Sam's back home in the United Kingdom after surviving 21 days in the Wild West, and he's having sex with his wife again. He also says the wound didn't get infected, so he's got a special 'thank you' for the show's medical staff.
Sam says he did come home with a little souvenir ... a very small blemish on the tip, which he refers to as his "Naked And Afraid" tattoo. Sounds like lots of contestants have them, he was just unlucky enough to get his in a very delicate area.

11:03 AM PT -- Chad Marchman, a Dallas Stars fan who was sitting in a seat just feet below the altercation at the game, tells TMZ Sports ... the fracas all initially started due to some confusion over who was in whose seats.
Marchman said the man in the Benn jersey had been annoying people in the section after being asked to move -- before he was ultimately punched.
In Marchman's footage of the aftermath of the haymaker, you can see the initial puncher suffered a bloody lip. You can also hear the man in the Benn jersey repeat the n-word.
Ultimately, according to Marchman, arena security got involved to separate everyone ... before the Benn fan was ejected from the area.
A Stars fan was socked in the face by a huge haymaker at Dallas' game on Wednesday night ... with the massive punch coming after the guy said the n-word.
The altercation went down just a few seats from the American Airlines Center ice ... when a man in a Jamie Benn jersey stopped watching the Stars vs. Wild tilt -- and began jawing with another fan behind him.
No word on why their beef initially began -- but the dude in the green No. 14 uni was clearly furious. At one point, he challenged the other fan to a fight ... saying, "How 'bout you step down here and I'll box your ass."

The guy in the black polo didn't respond -- and that's when the Benn fan, who's white, muttered the n-word.
"All right then," he could be heard saying. "Stay the f*** up there. Dumbass n****."
Almost immediately after the word left his mouth, the fan in the black shirt, who's also white, threw a right hand that landed flush. It actually appeared to briefly knock the Benn fan unconscious.
The two scuffled for a few moments following the blow -- before another woman raced in and threw a bevy of punches of her own.
Eventually, other fans stepped in before the altercation became even more violent.
It's unclear how the situation was resolved -- we've reached out to cops to see if any arrests were made, but no word back yet.
As for the game, the Stars were clearly unbothered by the ruckus in the crowd -- they were able to cruise to a 4-1 victory over Minnesota.

The NHL team explained the accident in a statement on Thursday ... revealing the 26-year-old was on his way to dinner via scooter when he was struck by a vehicle at around 6 PM.
The Flames said Andersson was transported to the Detroit Receiving Hospital for testing and, fortunately, was released a short time later.

"He was going through a crosswalk," Flames general manager Brad Treliving said on Thursday. "The good news -- and the most important thing -- is that Ras is doing well."
