Earlier this morning Lobos 1707 Tequila dropped its new spot in full. It does not disappoint. Starring LeBron James and Victoria Justice, it packs an epic mini movie into just over a minute and a half. Complete with a hero, a villain, a singular shot recipe, an epic dap up, and even a twist ending, the short reveals more details—and more mystery—upon each watch. And it’s all served up with a strong dose of sly humor. -via complex.com / August 15, 2024
Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson: Kobe Bryant’s ‘96 Draft class was better than Michael Jordan’s ‘84 Draft Class and LeBron’s ‘03 class says Stephon Marbury. “Not only from the basketball perspective. I think culturally we were the guys that were able to take it from one space to the next space. Not just in basketball but the culture movement. You look at guys like Allen Iverson, he made it ok to be what Allen Iverson is and a lot of kids were able to follow.” Marbury was part of the ‘96 Draft class as well. -via x.com / August 15, 2024
