J.R. Smith responds to a fan saying the 2026 New York Knicks could beat the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers:
“Who on the Knicks is guarding LeBron James and the little guy i don't like (Kyrie Irving)?”
Do you guys even call your banks and negotiate or ask for a higher interest rate on your savings accounts? I know I have been preaching here about not leaving your money in a current or savings account, and I stand by that. But I also know many of you still have those accounts, so let me give you something useful. Especially now, with the repo rate at 6.75 percent and prime at 10.25 percent, your cash has become more valuable to the bank. When rates rise, the bank earns more by lending out your deposits, but they will keep paying you the same low interest unless you push them. They are not going to call you and offer more. You have to ask.
Mystikal has reportedly been sentenced to 20 years in prison for rape in Louisiana.
After entering a guilty plea in connection with the case back in March, Mystikal, born Michael Tyler, was sentenced in court on Tuesday (June 16), Louisiana First News reports. The rapper learned his fate following a victim impact statement from the woman he attacked, who says she is still traumatized from the situation. Afterward, Mystikal reportedly told the court: "If that's what I did, I deserve every day of this sentence."
The 20-year sentence without the possibility of parole is five years short of the maximum that the rapper could have received after being accused of raping and torturing a woman at his home in 2022. This is Mystikal's second conviction for a sex crime. He spent six years in prison after pleading guilty to sexual battery and extortion in connection with an incident with his then-hair stylist in 2003. In 2017, he was again charged with rape. However, the case was eventually dropped due to a lack of evidence.
XXL has reached out to Mystikal's attorney for comment.
