The Los Angeles Lakers superstar was recorded sharing an embrace with the singer before rubbing her stomach. Rihanna, 35, is pregnant with her second child, having revealed as much during her Super Bowl 57 performance in February.

It’s why Bron gave her tummy a quick rub, but it appears she was not thrilled by the gesture judging from the look on her face and the fact that she placed his hand on his as if to say “Okay, now that’s enough.”

James is coming off his fifth season with the Los Angeles Lakers, one that ended against the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals. LBJ and the Lakers were swept, with the Nuggets going on to win the title after defeating the Miami Heat in five games.

The 38-year-old hinted at retirement after the Game 4 loss. However, there aren’t many people out there who believe he is actually considering walking away from the game.

On Wednesday, the Celtics got the job done against the Cavs in game 5 to clinch a Conference Finals spot. The Celtics won 113-98 against a Donovan Mitchell-less Cavaliers side thanks to Jayson Tatum and Al Horford’s big performances.

After the game, Cs HC Joe Mazzulla discussed what it takes to chase the championship and his answer was to the point and definitive. “At the end of the day, if you want to win you got to do whatever it takes,” said Mazzulla. He further added, “Everybody wants to win until it’s really time to win. Then you have to nut up and do a lot of sh** that you don’t want to do.”

Emphasizing the pressure in the late games in the series, Mazzulla praised his players for handling business, and said, “I thought the guys’ focus on the task at hand, they were very present.”

Al Horford also received words of praise for his outstanding night’s work to progress to the Conference Finals. For Mazzulla, this will be his first Conference Finals and the possibility of a first NBA Finals is not off the table. But this could be his journey to it with his trusted right-hand man, Sam Cassell, who is reportedly linked with the Lakers for their vacant HC role.
