According to sources. The Philadelphia 76’ers have listed LeBron James as 6’11” for the 2026 season. IT WAS CLEAR LAST NIGHT that LeBron James, entering into his 24th season, GREW AT LEAST 2 inches in the offseason… joining Wemby and Cooper Flagg with offseason growth spurts. LeBron was previously listed as 6’9” for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2025.

Philly LeBron is DIFFERENT.
Year 24 LeBron got that PHILLY DAWG in him. This is all I needed to see. I’m buying everything LeBron. Those 2003 1st Edition Topps PSA 10 rookies are 🔥🔥🔥

Elon Musk basically gives away the business plan to Jay Leno in 2020 - explaining that SpaceX and Tesla will create a rocket car in the Tesla Roadster. Leno justifiably thinks Musk is joking. The CNBC host LOL’s. Cut to 2026! Rocket car. I can’t imagine any other CEO getting this specific about a business plan 6 years out.

This Malibu Fire like the Pacific Palisades Fire in 2025 has one clear commonality - the state of California’s lack of fire breaks and brush clearance.
Wishing the firefighters, who are putting their lives at risk tonight, good health and success.
Governor Newsom, you must revisit fire policy in California.

The Bryson fire started on and is currently burning on the SRA (State Responsibility Area) just like the Palisades Fire. Zero fire breaks and fuel modification zones thanks to Gavin Newsom’s CA State Parks. Are you paying attention yet? @spencerpratt @Hotshot_Movie
The 5 pro wrestlers that scared me the most as a kid - 1) Dr De*th Steve Williams, 2) Abdullah The Butcher, 3) Kamala, 4) One Man Gang, 5) Dr D David Schultz
The PSA 10 1st edition Charizard has done it. The icon. The Mount Rushmore. The legend. The singular, signature card of Pokémon that stands next to the 52 Mantle, the Black Lotus of MTG, the T206 Wagner, the 1984 Star Jordan. One of the 5 most iconic trading cards of all time. It’s crashed $1 MILLION DOLLARS. Pop 123.
When I bought the entire set of 1st edition Pokémon for $129,500 in 2019, that was a world record. Today that set is a $2,700,000+ asset IF you keep the roughly 50% long term Charizard:1st Edition Set ratio. 20X return in 7 years. Wow. Blown away. Not surprised same time.
Congratulations to @altxyzofficial and my friend @alexisohanian and @LeoreAvidar for a phenomenal outcome.

Top 8 Harry Potter collectibles with a 10X in 10 year potential! I’m looking at Harry Potter through the same lens I use for any great collectible… cultural importance, rarity, condition, the age of the collector, the recently of value creation, what new content is driving the opportunity, and how many serious collectors may want to own the best examples 10 years from now.
If I were building a list of categories with the potential to deliver 10x returns, I’d start with (1) the 1997 Philosopher’s Stone the first edition, first printing; (2) the first edition, second printing; and (3) the softcover first edition, first printing. I’d also look hard at (4) first edition, first printing copies of Books 2 through 7 signed by J.K. Rowling. The rarest early books may be (5) the uncorrected proofs: the four known styles across Books 1, 2, and 3, especially the exceptionally rare Chamber of Secrets proof cover.
Then there are the pieces that take you inside the making of the world: (6) original scripts, (7) storyboards, and (8) screen-used movie props with clear provenance and a strong connection to an iconic scene. I’d add the (9) original Wizards of the Coast trading cards and (10) original Harry Potter art, especially important book-cover art.
The best Harry Potter collectibles connect to a franchise that has shaped generations of readers and moviegoers. That doesn’t make 10x a sure thing; it makes these categories worth studying closely, with rarity, authenticity, condition, and entry price doing a lot of the work.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Padawer

This may be the greatest retail photograph in the history of collecting… $820 MILLION DOLLARS IN CARDS.
In 1952, at the F.W. Woolworth store on Fordham Road in the Bronx, New York, someone took this photograph of an absolutely ridiculous display of brand-new Topps baseball cards. There are 231 unopened boxes stacked here. At 24 packs per box, that’s 5,544 unopened packs sitting in a Woolworth’s waiting for kids to buy them for a nickel apiece.
And here’s the part I love… despite this being the legendary 1952 Topps set, these appear to be FIRST SERIES boxes… not the later series containing Mickey Mantle 311. The advertising panels visible in the photograph contain Series 1 cards, and detailed research has identified the cards on those panels. So there probably aren’t hundreds of Mantles hiding in this photograph. If these are 1st series they are $150,000 per pack.
But somehow that makes it even better. This wasn’t a treasure then. It was simply inventory. Baseball cards, bubble gum and kids walking through a Woolworth’s on Fordham Road in the Bronx with absolutely no idea they were standing in front of what would become one of the most iconic collectibles ever made.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Padawer

After 20 months LA Mayor Karen Bass is slowly admitting the City and State errors that decimated Pacific Palisades. Bass has no choice, really. The city and state attempted to shut down discovery. They failed. The discovery we already have is extraordinarily problematic. The city and state are grossly negligent bordering on criminal behavior. So, here we are. There’s an election in 2 months followed by a whirlwind of discovery, a trial and the largest jury settlement against a municipality for extreme negligence of all time. This will happen if the city and state don’t settle.
Why do I want settlement? Because the longer we wait, the more this disproportionately impacts older people and those who can’t otherwise afford to return. We want everyone home. Now is the time to act, and giving up a little for expediency and my neighbors wellbeing is more than worth it.
This video is wild. Starts with some level of accepting accountability but devolves into more misdirection. Without transparency, we are doomed to repeat this mess.
Sincerely,

In 1965, a 19-year-old André René Roussimoff began training to become a professional wrestler in Paris. By day, he worked as a furniture mover to support himself. By night, he learned his craft in the ring. Even at that young age, André’s extraordinary size and presence made it clear that the wrestling world had never seen anyone quite like him.
This incredible footage captures André before the fame, before WrestleMania and before the world knew him as the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” It is a rare glimpse at the very beginning of a journey that would transform a young man from France into André the Giant, one of the most recognizable and beloved figures in the history of professional wrestling.

Twenty-five years ago, America endured one of the darkest days in our history.
We remember the innocent lives taken, the heroes who ran toward danger and the families who have carried unimaginable loss ever since.
September 11 taught us that resilience is not the absence of pain. It is the strength to keep moving through it. Fortitude is standing when the weight feels unbearable. And rising does not mean forgetting what happened. It means carrying the memory forward with purpose, courage and love.
Twenty-five years later, we still remember. We still honor. We still rise.
Never forget. 🇺🇸

Newsom protecting giant corporations over their own victims. Not good.
The "consequences" Newsom refers to is the fact that SCE and PG&E collectively lost $20B yesterday in market value following a massive stock sell off when the Legislature rejected Newsom's proposal for a $6B cap on a utility's liability, elimination of insurers' right of subrogation against utilities, and limitations on fire victims' right to recover economic and non-economic damages.
The “consequences” that fire victims have had to endure from the fires caused by these utilities is unspeakable. Over the past ten years, SCE & PG&E have caused the following devastating wildfires:
Pacific Gas and Electric:
Wildfire Deaths Structures
Camp Fire85 ~18,804
Tubbs Fire22 5,643
Dixie Fire 1 1,329
Zogg Fire 4 204
Kincade Fire 0 374
Southern California Edison
Wildfire Deaths Structures
Eaton Fire 19 9,418
Woolsey Fire 3 1,643
Thomas Fire 2 1,063
To recap, PG&E has destroyed a total of 26,359 structures and killed 112 people. SCE has destroyed 12,124 structures and killed 24 people, plus an additional 22 persons who died in the Montecito debris flow as a result of the Thomas Fire.
These utilities already benefit from Newsom's existing bailout with the California Wildfire Fund, which provides $21B to pay for wildfire damages and an additional $18B on top of that for post 2025 wildfires. And by law these utilities are guaranteed a 10% rate of return each year.
You want to know the simplest and least costly solution to California's wildfire problem? Utilities need to stop causing these massively destructive and deadly fires! Every one of the fires listed above was determined by Cal Fire to have been caused by one of these two utilities.
Yet despite causing so much devastation, these utilities continue to focus on paying dividends to their stockholders instead of upgrading their equipment and performing badly needed maintenance on their aging infrastructure. For example, SCE has paid quarterly dividends for the past 20 consecutive quarters without interruption between 2021-2026. Meanwhile, SCE’s CEO Pedro Pizarro enjoyed a 21.5% salary increase in 2022-2023 and a 19.5% increase in 2024-2025.
The only way these utilities will embrace a systemic sea change in preventing wildfires is if economic pressure forces them to do so. Hopefully, Monday’s “consequences” are the catalyst for that change. @spencerpratt @ZavalaA @joelpollak @Hotshot_Movie @JeremyCom
BREAKING NEWS…
Palisades fire victims - A meaningful step forward after almost 20 months of delays, deflection and misdirection.
The City of Los Angeles and LADWP have agreed to enter mediation with attorneys representing thousands of Palisades fire victims, with the first settlement talks expected to begin in early October.
A meaningful step forward for Palisades fire victims after almost 20 months of delays, deflection and misdirection.
Let’s be clear… mediation does not guarantee a settlement. But after more than a year and a half of fighting, the City’s willingness to sit down and discuss a potential resolution is real progress. It creates a path toward accountability and fair compensation for families who lost their homes, possessions, businesses and sense of security.
Now for the unacceptable part. The State of California has not stepped up to join them.
The State is arguably the critical defendant in this case. Its agencies will have to address extraordinary gross negligence about what happened on state land between the January 1 Lachman Fire and the catastrophic unnatural disaster of January 7, 2025. Moreover, the state will almost certainly be the larger contributor towards their victims losses, and potentially as much as 20 TIMES the city’s share.
Yet while the City and LADWP are preparing to come to the table, the State continues to stand on the sidelines.
That is indefensible.
Governor Newsom and the State of California should not force fire victims to spend years battling their own government for accountability. If the City can enter mediation, the State can, and should, do the same.
Palisades families have waited long enough.
Early October should mark the beginning of a genuine effort to resolve this tragedy of their own making.
The State needs to stop hiding, step up and take its seat at the table.
I will not stop advocating for the Pacific Palisades. We need more public-facing voices holding our City and State accountable every single day until every victim receives justice, every family is fairly compensated and our community is fully rebuilt.
We’re one step closer today.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Padawer
