Richard Jefferson Wedding Called Off

Richard Jefferson has called off his wedding with Kesha Ni’Cole Nichols! That’s right, the NBA player just called off it at the last time, and it seems that some of the guests were not informed about this issue!

The reasons for the wedding being called off are yet to be cleared up, Jefferson has still not spoken about it.

Guests who arrived to the Mandarin Oriental were all invited by Richard Jefferson.  Kesha ( a former Net dancer) had already alerted her family and friends. Oh, oh Richard, you messed up with this.  Word out there is that this all happened just 2 hours before the wedding! A friend of Kesha said:

“She just wants to keep this as quiet as possible and move on. She’s doing just fine.”

Those were the new son Richard Jefferson wedding.

Stephen A. Smith’s Future Out of ESPN

Stephen A. Smith will be no longer appearing on ESPN. Sources say Smith – who rose to fame four years ago – will be saying good bye to the sports network after the NBA playoffs.

Stephen A. Smith

ESPN and Stephen A. Smith didn’t agree on the contract. This time the offer made by ESPN to his participation in basketball reports was much lower, and didn’t include so much participation on other types of media owned by the network.

Let’s remember this season Smith hasn’t been showing his face on basketball, the sport that made him stand out. Many people on the Web are happy with this decision, he quickly became unpopular and disliked by the audience.
