Dennis Smith Has Tooth Knocked Out, Gets Replacement "For The Ladies"




"When there’s ladies lookin’, I gotta be lookin’ nice."
Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. lost a tooth during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, but that didn't prevent him from making a key play late in the game to secure the Mavs' 114-110 victory. And it certainly didn't stop him from lookin' nice for the ladies during his post-game interview. More on that later.
As seen in the video embedded below, Smith lost one of his front teeth when he and Patrick Beverley collided while scrambling for a loose ball in the third quarter.


Smith finished with just nine points and five assists but he did come up with a crucial block against Tobias Harris in the final seconds of the fourth quarter as the Clippers looked to tie the game. On top of that, he buried the ensuing free throws to ice the game.


The 21-year old point guard has a dentist appointment scheduled for Monday, but he had a temporary replacement ready for his post-game interview. As he explained during the post-game, he couldn't risk looking like a fool on social media, especially "when there's ladies lookin'."
"I'm fooling y'all right now," said Smith, per ESPN. "I knew there was going to be cameras. Whenever there's cameras, then it's going to social media. Whenever it's social media, then there's ladies lookin'. When there's ladies lookin', I gotta be lookin' nice. I had to fool y'all right now."
The Mavericks, 11-10, will host the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night.

What President Trump and Kim Jong Un Ate

The historic summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un continued midday Tuesday, as the leaders satisfied their appetites while holding negotiations with a contingent of advisers over a working lunch. The lunch, which followed a 45-minute one-on-one meeting between the leaders earlier in the morning and bilateral discussion with senior aides, was held at the Capella Hotel on Singapore’s Sentosa Island. It was far from an intimate affair, with each leader accompanied by a bevy of senior staff, according to the White House. Joining Trump were Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Chief of Staff John Kelly, National Security Advisor John Bolton, U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Deputy Assistant to the President for Asian Affairs Matthew Pottinger. Kim was accompanied by Kim Yong Chol , the former spy chief and one of North Korea’s chief negotiators, as well as Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho, former

Snapchat Slammed for Domestic Violence Meme Featuring Rihanna and Chris Brown

If Kylie Jenner ‘s stock-plummeting Snapchat rant didn’t make you delete the app, maybe this will. Over the weekend, Snapchat found itself in hot water after a now-deleted domestic violence meme featuring Rihanna and Chris Brown went viral. The meme, which was an advertisement for the app “Would You Rather,” asked users whether they would prefer to “slap Rihanna” or “punch Chris Brown.” Almost immediately, screenshots of the ad appeared on Twitter, with many criticizing Snapchat for making light of domestic violence. Is it just me, or is this ad that popped up on my Snapchat extremely tone deaf? Like what were they thinking with this? pic.twitter.com/7kP9RHcgNG — Royce Mann (@TheRoyceMann) March 12, 2018 Many considered the ad a mockery of Rihanna’s experience with domestic violence. In 2009, Brown was arrested and charged for physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna hours before she was to perform at the Grammy awards. Since the incident, Rihanna has spo
