This Week in Good Black News: Snoop Dogg Joins Paris Games as Correspondent, Sha’Carri Wins 100-Meter Olympic Qualifier, and Lakers Draft Bronny, Creating NBA’s First Father-Son Duo with LeBron James

24-year-old sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson is heading to the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France, after winning the 100-meter final on Saturday (June 22) at the Olympic trials at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. The Texas native finished in first place with a time of 10.71, the fastest time in the 100-meter event in the world in 2024.

Snoop Dogg left fans in tears when he shared his thoughts alongside Kevin Hart during the 2021 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo. This year, the legendary West Coast rapper is back after being tapped to join NBC Sports as an Olympics correspondent for the upcoming Paris Games.

When asked why he took the role, the 52-year-old told TIME, “Why not? Not why. This is what I do. You know what I’m saying?” He added, “I love being in front of the people. I love sports. I know what I'm talking about. The network is appealing enough to understand that we deserve each other. So we’re gonna make magic.”

The James household earned its second NBA player and the league’s first father-and-son duo after the Los Angeles Lakers selected LeBron’s oldest son, Bronny, as their 55th Draft pick on Thursday (June 27.)

At USC, the 19-year-old averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 19.4 minutes per game. Last year, he took a break from basketball following a cardiac arrest episode, which led to surgery to correct a congenital heart defect.
