Photo of Charles Barkley laughing, photo of Aline Bernades in bikini and photo of Kenny Smith hiding his face
Charles Barkley couldn’t wait to get at Kenny Smith after the latter was caught by TMZ cameras chilling on the beach with a smokeshow, bikini-clad model.

Smith, who had a divorce finalized in 2021, was likely having the time of his life on Thursday as he pulled up to Miami Beach with Aline Bernades. While the two-time NBA champion has kept his private life under wraps since his divorce from Gwendolyn Osborne, he was unable to escape the cameras this time around.

A photo shows a topless Smith sitting next to Aline as she sips from a cup, while another appears to show him checking out her assets.


Whether the two are dating is still unknown as they’re said to have steered clear of any public displays of affection. But Aline did put Kenny on her Instagram Story, posting a video of him dancing.

The Inside the NBA co-host did not have to meet up with the gang again until Sunday and it appears Chuck couldn’t wait to see his old pal so he could rib him over the exposure. Ernie Johnson was equally guilty as he was the one who threw Barkley the assist. You could check it out in the video below:


Shaq did not join Charles in picking on Kenny but he did share the laughs.

That’s probably because he was in a photo with the model too, with Aline posting a snap of the two to her IG in which she referred to him as her “BFF.”

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.


From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
