(NEW YORK) — Bronny James, the son of basketball star LeBron James, suffered a cardiac arrest during a practice Monday and was taken to the hospital, according to a family spokesman.
James is now in stable condition, according to the family.
Bronny James, 18, is a rising basketball star and incoming freshman at the University of Southern California.
“Yesterday while practicing Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest,” a family spokesman said in a statement. “Medical staff was able to treat Bronny and take him to the hospital. He is now in stable condition and no longer in ICU.”
The statement added, “We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information. LeBron and [his wife] Savannah wish to publicly send their deepest thanks and appreciation to the USC medical and athletic staff for their incredible work and dedication to the safety of their athletes.”
James was a McDonald’s All-American in his senior season in high school and the No. 20 player in the country in ESPN’s recruiting rankings.
LeBron James has said one of his final goals before retirement is to play in the NBA with his son.
“I need to be on the floor with my boy, I got to be on the floor with Bronny,” James said during an interview with ESPN in January. “I would love to do the whole Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr. thing. That would be ideal for sure.”
LeBron James added: “I ask him what are his aspirations, and he says he wants to play in the NBA. So, if he wants do to it, he’s got to put in the work. I’m here already, so, I’m just waiting on him.”
At this month’s ESPY Awards, LeBron James accepted the award for best recording-breaking performance from his sons, Bronny and Bryce. During the awards show, Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin presented the Pat Tillman Service Award to his team’s training staff, which saved his life after he suffered cardiac arrest during a Monday Night Football game in January.

(NEW YORK) — The U.S. Women’s National Soccer team will take on Vietnam in the first round of the Group Stage at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, but before they step onto the pitch the team will sport a luxe new look ahead of the World Cup.
Earlier this month Nike announced an exclusive collaboration with Martine Rose to create custom-tailored suits for the USWNT, which have yet to make a public appearance on the players.
The collection includes “a player’s suit jacket, trouser, trench and shirt; accessories, including stockings, gloves and sunglasses; and the latest iteration of the Nike x Martine Rose Shox Mule MR 4,” Nike stated in its press release.
While fashion and sports have long gone hand-in-hand for A-list athletes, fans are eagerly awaiting seeing their favorite U.S. soccer stars — from powerhouse forwards like Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan and Sophia Smith to Rose Lavelle, Alana Cook and the rest of the squad — in the specialty threads.
British-Jamaican menswear designer and founder, Martine Rose, shared the first glimpses of the suiting collection on Instagram earlier this week.
Rose shared select images of fittings with Rapinoe, Smith and Naomi Girma in the custom looks.
Rose also announced in the post that the Nike and Martine Rose collection will be available to shop online July 25.
(NEW YORK) — The U.S. Women’s National Team is getting ready to defend its title at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in New Zealand and Australia, which kicks off Thursday.
Ahead of their opener on Friday, here are five facts about the powerhouse team that’s looking to bring home a record third straight trophy:
1. This will be Megan Rapinoe’s last World Cup.
This month, Megan Rapinoe announced she would be retiring after the 2023 Women’s World Cup and once the NWSL season wraps up in October.
The veteran, who has played in 17 World Cup matches and is an Olympic gold and bronze medalist, will be capping off a record-breaking career, most recently as a forward for the OL Reign.
“It is with a deep sense of peace & gratitude that I have decided this will be my final season playing this beautiful game,” the 38-year-old tweeted on July 8. “I never could have imagined the ways in which soccer would shape & change my life forever, but by the look on this little girl’s face, she knew all along.”
2. The 2023 national team has grown more diverse.
U.S. Soccer has made a conscious push to diversify the women’s national team and this year, the team includes more players of color and more players from different backgrounds than past teams.
They include defender Naomi Girma of the National Women’s Soccer League’s San Diego Wave FC, who is the daughter of Ethiopian immigrants.
3. There are three moms on the national team.
Co-captain Alex Morgan leads the 23-member team but is also part of the trio of pro athlete moms at the peak of their game. Morgan, a forward, is joined by defender Crystal Dunn and midfielder Julie Ertz.
Morgan, now 34, has a daughter named Charlie, while Dunn, 31, has a son named Marcel. Ertz, 31, is the newest mom on the team, having welcomed a son named Madden last August.
4. Dennis Rodman’s daughter is on the team.
Trinity Rodman, the youngest of NBA champion Dennis Rodman’s children, is a forward on the national team. Over the years, Trinity Rodman, now 21, has made a name for herself as a valuable player and when she’s not playing for the national team, she’s a forward for the Washington Spirit.
Rodman told ESPN’s Futbol Americas that she expects the U.S. national team will be “ruthless” and repeat their championship-winning playbook.
“We’re never going to give up and we’re going to get the title,” Rodman said, adding, “This team is something special. We want it more than ever, so I expect a gold medal.”
5. The youngest American player is only 18.
Alyssa Thompson, a midfielder for Angel City FC in Los Angeles, is joining veteran teammates Morgan and Rapinoe as one of the six forwards for the national team. Thompson, whose 19th birthday won’t be until November, made history in January as the youngest player to ever be drafted into the NWSL and was the first to be drafted right out of high school, according to her official Angel City biography.
Thompson told Yahoo Sports earlier this month that she had dreamed about making the World Cup team since she was a young girl.
“I’ve been wanting to be on the World Cup team since I was little,” the 18-year-old said. “I didn’t think it would happen so soon. But since it did, I was very happy. And my sister was there and my whole family was there. And my mom and dad were crying. They were so happy.”

(NEW YORK) — As millions of people around the world tune in for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup this week, second gentleman Doug Emhoff will be in New Zealand representing the United States.
Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, departed Monday for New Zealand, where he will lead the U.S. delegation at the opening ceremony of the 2023 Women’s World Cup later this week.
Emhoff will also attend the U.S. Women’s National Team’s first World Cup game on Friday against Vietnam.
At this year’s World Cup, the USWNT will be attempting to win their third consecutive title.
“I’m going to be rooting so hard,” Emhoff said Monday on ” Good Morning America,” adding of the team’s chances of a third title, “I really believe they’re going to bring it home.”
Emhoff, a father of two, described attending the World Cup on behalf of the U.S. as a full-circle moment from when he used to coach and referee his own kids’ games. Emhoff also played soccer himself as a child.
“I was a soccer dad … [a coach] with my kids and then I became a referee wearing that yellow outfit with the whistle and those short shorts and the big socks,” Emhoff said, with a laugh. “To go from that on those fields, watching all these kids play and the parents rooting them on, to now be representing our country on this presidential delegation and seeing all these athletes now representing their countries, I’m just so honored and proud to be here.”
While in New Zealand, Emhoff will not just be focusing on soccer but also bigger world issues that the sport has found itself at the center of.
He is scheduled to deliver remarks to young women and girls as part of a panel discussion on gender equity and women in sports.
Last year, the USWNT scored a landmark equal pay win with a new agreement that sees them receiving the same pay, including appearance fees and game bonuses, and the same working conditions as the U.S. Men’s National Team.
The two teams will also pool their World Cup prize money, which is unequally distributed by FIFA, the international governing body, and share the money equally, becoming the first soccer federation in the world to do so, according to a collective bargaining agreement announced by U.S. soccer and the unions for both the men’s and women’s teams.
Emhoff will also join former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in a roundtable of faith, community and other leaders on combatting hate and promoting tolerance.
The second gentleman said he sees sports, specifically the World Cup, as an entity that can bring people together.
“As we all know, we all have way more in common than what divides us. There is so much hate out there and people are just fed up with it,” Emhoff said. “As the first second gentleman, one of the big things I’ve been working on is pushing against this epidemic of hate and finding ways to bring people together.”
He continued, “Honestly, sports is one of those things. Sports unifies us and that’s one of the reasons why I’m so excited to be on this trip to support our women’s team. It’s going to bring our entire country together.”
