The entertainment world’s gaze converged on the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles this past Monday for the highly anticipated BET Awards, broadcast live across the renowned Black Entertainment Television network.
The event served as a vibrant nexus where titans of sports, film, music, and various other performance arts converged, mingling and celebrating from the moment they stepped onto the red carpet until the final curtain call inside the illustrious venue.
Luka Doncic tells LeBron James how a coach made him cry when he was playing for Real Madrid
It was a night filled with star power, but one particular win resonated profoundly, sparking a wave of emotion and admiration.
A standout moment of the evening was the significant triumph of acclaimed actor and comedian Jamie Foxx, whose award stirred a powerful reaction from none other than Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.
The basketball icon promptly took to his social media platform, X, to articulate his feelings.
“BET “ULTIMTE ICON”!!” James passionately wrote, punctuating his sentiment with a salute emoji. His deep respect and affection for Foxx were evident as he continued, “Love my brother and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!”
This sincere declaration quickly cascaded across X, amassing over 48,000 views in a flash and continuing to climb as fans engaged with James’s public commendation.
A triumphant comeback story
Foxx‘s victory at the BET Awards transcended mere recognition; it symbolized a powerful personal comeback following a harrowing health crisis. In April 2023, Foxx endured a severe medical emergency: a brain bleed that resulted in a stroke, rendering him unconscious for several weeks.
His journey to recovery has been a testament to his indomitable spirit and unwavering resolve, a period of immense personal challenge that he has now candidly shared with the world.
During his acceptance speech, Foxx delivered a moment of raw vulnerability and profound inspiration. He recounted a deeply moving experience of watching a memoriam dedicated to those who had passed away.
This poignant moment, he revealed, served as a profound catalyst, solidifying his determination to fully embrace and make the absolute most of his second chance at life after navigating such significant medical hurdles.

Alex Bagé elege Alysson o melhor jogador do Grêmio e dispara contra dois atacantes: “Amuzu e Pavón são atrasos”
Alysson, atacante do Grêmio (LUCAS UEBEL/GREMIO FBPA) Alex Bagé analisou o confronto entre Grêmio e Corinthians na Arena, pela 12ª rodada do Brasileirão Série A. Braithwaite marcou primeiro para o Tricolor Gaúcho, mas Breno Bidon deixou tudo igual ainda no primeiro tempo nesta quinta-feira (12). O resultado manteve o tabu corintiano de 13 partidas sem perder para o Imortal. Na edição de hoje (13) do “Debate Raiz”, Alex Bagé não economizou elogios para Alysson. O jovem ponta de 19 anos foi o autor da jogada que resultou no gol do centroavante dinamarquês. “Esse menino, toda vez que ele toca na bola, ele mostra cara. Tem que dar mais oportunidade.

Caitlin Clark to make her return to Fever lineup vs. Liberty after missing five games with quad strain
Getty Images Caitlin Clark will make her return to the court this Saturday, when the Indiana Fever host the New York Liberty at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the team announced Friday. Clark was initially expected to miss four games after suffering a quad strain during the 90-88 loss to the Liberty on May 24, but instead missed five contests. She said rushing back wouldn't be "worth it," but now feels good enough to return to the lineup. Clark was averaging 19 points, 6 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game before the quad strain injury. She actually hadn't missed a game since high school, and her inactive status on May 28 vs. the Washington Mystics snapped a streak of 185 consecutive games played. With Caitlin Clark and Tyrese Haliburton leading Fever and Pacers, Indy has become center of basketball world Jack Maloney The 4-5 Fever are 2-3 […]
