After enjoying a rather productive spell with the Houston Texans, NFL star, Jonathan Owens takes some time off his schedule to relax. Along with his girlfriend Simone Biles, he attended the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Houston Rockets. To no surprise, Owens and Biles were treated to as an insane game of basketball as King James put on an incredible show. The duo took to Instagram, sharing glimpses of their visit to the Toyota Center. Biles even tried to put in some shots from the free-throw line before the game started. Notably, the Lakers won the game 132-123. In the meantime, LeBron James racked up a triple-double, leaving Owens in awe of his performance. JONATHAN OWENS & SIMONE BILES CHEER ON LEBRON JAMES During the game, the couple was seen hyping up former Rockets small forward Carmelo Anthony [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carmelo-anthony/] who scored some vital points. As Owens is a fan of LeBron, he loved seeing James getting the triple-double. Owens posted an Instagram story [https://www.instagram.com/stories/jowens_3/2739131007026855421/?hl=en] of the scoreboard, with James’ stats overpowering the rest. He captioned the story, “Got to see Bron put up a smooth triple-double.” Indeed, James [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/] recorded ridiculous numbers. He finished [https://www.espn.in/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401360330] the day with 32 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. Likewise, Russell Westbrook [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/russell-westbrook/] racked up another triple-double to bag a comfortable victory for the Lakers. Hence, Owens [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jonathan-owens-2021-net-worth-salary-and-endorsements/] and Biles [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/simone-arianne-biles/] enjoyed their visit to the game as the couple took some photographs on the court.

[https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-gymnastics-news-how-much-has-simone-biles-net-worth-risen-from-2020-to-2021/] ANOTHER MILESTONE FOR JAMES During the game, LeBron bagged another impressive achievement. He became the third player to score 36000 points in the NBA, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone on the list. While Kareem has 38, 387 points, Malone sits in second place with 36, 928 points. Kobe Bryant [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kobe-bryant/] and Michael Jordan are ranked fourth and fifth on the list, respectively. This season, the Lakers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/los-angeles-lakers/] lie down in seventh place, with a win-loss record of 17-18. Improvement in performances would be key for them to get an automatic playoff place.

Gymnastics is a collection of physical exercises requiring a lot of strength, agility, balance, and flexibility. It is closely related to circus performing skills as athletes put their bodies to the fullest use. Likewise, there are various disciplines for gymnasts to showcase their talents. Thus, it evolved from ancient Greeks that included skills to mounting to dismounting a horse. The competitive form of gymnastics is called artistic gymnastics. It involves various events for women like the floor, vault, uneven bars, and the beam. For men, they have floor, vault, rings, pommel horse, parallel bars, and horizontal bars. Therefore, the sport is famous for its aesthetic values and the Olympics draws major crowds to the gymnastics arena.

<h3>History of Gymnastics</h3>
Gymnastics originated from the Greek term, 'to exercise naked,' applied in ancient Greece exercises. These exercises became a mainstay at the Olympics but most of the competition came from ancient roots. There are stone engravings found in Shandong province during <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/gymnastics/Gymnasts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Han Period</a> (206 <span class="text-smallcaps">BCE</span>–220 <span class="text-smallcaps">CE) where they portrayed acrobatics. Like every sport, the person credited for making the sport famous was Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, founder of the Turnverein movement as he helped to spread gymnastics across the world. </span>

<span class="text-smallcaps">Most of the exercises were conducted on the playground. Therefore, various events came into existence. They held the first Gymnastics festival in 1860 in Coburg. The Americans were introduced to Gymnastics in the late 1820s while the Federation Internationale Gymnastique was founded in 1881 to organize the event. The 1896 Olympic Games saw the starting stages of gymnastics being introduced to the world. </span>
<h3>The Sport</h3>
There are three divisions of artistic gymnastics- artistic, rhythmic, and trampoline. There are six <a href="https://completegymnastics.com/gymnastics-disciplines-explained/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events</a> for men and the all around event where they combine scores from every discipline. For women, there are four exercises and a similar all around event, both team and individual events. Apart from artistic gymnastics, there is rhythmic gymnastics and is practiced only by women. Trampoline is the other discipline of gymnastics and introduced itself at the 2000 Olympic Games. As years pass by, various gymnasts showcased their athletic skills to the masses in attendance.

<h3>Famous gymnasts in the world</h3>
<strong>Simone Biles:</strong>

In terms of pure dominance, Simone Biles enters the list as arguably the greatest gymnast of all time. She is the <a href="https://www.rookieroad.com/gymnastics/top-6-best-womens-players-of-all-time/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most decorated</a> gymnast in the World Championships, winning four gold, one silver, and two bronze medals. The 2016 Rio Olympics saw her winning four gold medals and completely dominated the events. She has 25 World Championships medals to her name and her stance on mental health helps her become an influential person in the society.

<strong>Larisa Latynina:</strong>

Winning nine gold medals at the Olympics is astonishing and Larisa Latynina ranks on top of the famous gymnast charts. After Michael Phelps, she has the most Olympic medals with 18. She popularized the sport of gymnastics and was the first star in the sport. Her iconic performances will go down to the gymnastics folklore.

<strong>Nadia Comaneci:</strong>

Achieving a perfect 10.0 score in gymnastics is amazing. But, doing it at the Olympics, when just turning 14, placed Nadia Comaneci amongst the pantheon of greats. The 1976 Olympics saw her earning seven perfect scores. She won five Olympic gold medals out of the nine she won.

<strong>Svetlana Khorkina:</strong>

With a total of 47 Olympic, World and European Championships medals, Svetlana Khorkina is a remarkable gymnast. She became the first gymnast to win three all-around titles at the World Championships while winning five gold medals in the uneven bars at World Championships. Her success in the uneven bars earned her the moniker 'The Queen of Bars.'

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Carmelo Anthony 2021: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Carmelo Anthony is a six-foot-seven forward who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA. He was born on May 29, 1984, to Mary Anthony and Carmelo Iriarte. Anthony was the third overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft. </span>

[caption id="attachment_453508" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-453508" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1193643233.jpg" alt="Carmelo Anthony during a game against the Denver Nuggets" width="1920" height="1280" /> DENVER, CO - DECEMBER 12: Carmelo Anthony (00) of the Portland Trail Blazers backs down Will Barton (5) of the Denver Nuggets during the second quarter on Thursday, December 12, 2019. (Photo by AAron Ontiveroz/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via Getty Images)[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">Anthony’s parents moved to Baltimore before his teenage years, which allowed him to gain more exposure in basketball. He attended two different high schools, one being the Towson Catholic where he played for three years. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Brooklyn native reached a tremendous height by his junior year and attracted several scouts with his impeccable talent. Anthony’s mother transferred him to Oak Hill Academy in Virginia for his senior year. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">After getting off to a 67-0 win streak with Oak Hill, Anthony finally faced defeat against a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/">LeBron James</a>-led St. Vincent-St. Mary high-school. The Oak Hill forward was one of the top-rated recruits coming out of high-school and had the option to forego college and join the NBA.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Despite being eligible to enter the league, Carmelo Anthony decided to attend one year at Syracuse for more experience. The Syracuse Orange went on to win the NCAA championship in Anthony’s freshman season, and he averaged 22.2 points during the championship run. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">As for his personal life, Carmelo Anthony got engaged to La La Anthony in 2004. The couple tied the knot in 2010, three years after the birth of their son Kiyan. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Their relationship suffered rocky instances late in the 2010s and both parties mutually agreed for a divorce, but La La and Melo seem to be back together for good.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Carmelo Anthony NBA Career</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Anthony initially wanted to play at Syracuse for a longer period, but felt the need to leave after winning the championship as a freshman. He set out on a new endeavor, and the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/denver-nuggets/">Denver Nuggets</a> used their third overall pick to select Melo in the 2003 NBA Draft. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He made his debut against the San Antonio Spurs and averaged an impressive 21.0 points per game as a rookie. Anthony finished second in the Rookie of the Year voting behind LeBron James and replicated similar form in the subsequent seasons as well. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He played with the Nuggets for eight years and registered several iconic moments with them. He reached his prime during the late 2000s and notched up 30 point games for fun. After posting incredible numbers in Denver and averaged 24.8 PPG in eight seasons, Anthony was then traded to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/new-york-knicks/">New York Knicks</a> in 2011.</span>

[caption id="attachment_521846" align="aligncenter" width="1280"]<img class="size-full wp-image-521846" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210120231745/2021-01-02T060003Z_473873404_MT1USATODAY15387338_RTRMADP_3_NBA-PORTLAND-TRAIL-BLAZERS-AT-GOLDEN-STATE-WARRIORS.jpg" alt="Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony " width="1280" height="1920" /> Jan 1, 2021; San Francisco, California, USA; Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony (00) reacts after making a three point basket against the Golden State Warriors in the fourth quarter at the Chase Center.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Trouble with the Knicks and career resurrection </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Melo to the Knicks was a dreamy move, and fans in New York went crazy about him joining their franchise. He had developed as one of the league’s best players by that time, but collective success was hard to come by for the team. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Melo averaged 24.7 points and 2.4 blocks per game in seven seasons with the Knicks and had a fallout with Phil Jackson, who the President of the franchise at that period. Jackson wasn’t keen on keeping Anthony as he felt the forward didn’t fit well in his offensive plans. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Thus, Anthony was consequently sent to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/">OKC</a> when he played for a year. Melo’s career took a sharp downward spike after his Knicks exit, and the 'superstar' status soon left his name after a dip in scoring averages. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He then joined the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/houston-rockets/">Houston Rockets</a> after one year in Oklahoma, a move that put a dark dent in Melo’s career. He just played ten games for the Rockets as the team snubbed him without releasing his contract. </span>

[caption id="attachment_521854" align="aligncenter" width="1363"]<img class="size-full wp-image-521854" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210120231934/2021-01-08T034716Z_1072676526_MT1USATODAY15408527_RTRMADP_3_NBA-MINNESOTA-TIMBERWOLVES-AT-PORTLAND-TRAIL-BLAZERS.jpg" alt="Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony" width="1363" height="1920" /> Jan 7, 2021; Portland, Oregon, USA; Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony (00) shoots over Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jake Layman (10) during the first quarter at the Moda Center. Mandatory Credit: Craig Mitchelldyer-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Rockets then traded Melo to the Blazers in 2019, where he found a beam of shining light once again. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Though age caught up, Melo was able to perform at a challenging level in Portland. His veteran experience proved to be the perfect match for the team’s young core. </span>

After acting as the spark plug off of the bench, the Trail Blazers were not willing to take back the veteran forward to the team. But Melo had a special team waiting for him in the off-season, close friend LeBron James' Lakers.

The Purple and Gold who have been on a roll of signing veterans, brought up Melo as they needed shooting in their team. Given that the 2021-22 season will be the first time LBJ and Melo will play with each other, fans simply can't wait to see the duo this season.

Carmelo Anthony

Carmelo Anthony 2021: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements Carmelo Anthony is a six-foot-seven forward who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA. He was born on May 29, 1984, to Mary Anthony and Carmelo Iriarte. Anthony was the third overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft.  DENVER, CO &#8211; DECEMBER 12: Carmelo Anthony (00) of the Portland Trail Blazers backs down Will Barton (5) of the Denver Nuggets during the second quarter on Thursday, December 12, 2019. (Photo by AAron Ontiveroz/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via Getty Images) Anthony’s parents moved to Baltimore before his teenage years, which allowed him to gain more exposure in basketball. He attended two different high schools, one being the Towson Catholic where he played for three years.  The Brooklyn native reached a tremendous height by his junior year and attracted several scouts with his impeccable talent. Anthony’s mother transferred him to Oak Hill Academy in Virginia for his senior year.  After getting off to a 67-0 win streak with Oak Hill, Anthony finally faced defeat against a LeBron James-led St. Vincent-St. Mary high-school. The Oak Hill forward was one of the top-rated recruits coming out of high-school and had the option to forego college and join the NBA. Despite being eligible to enter the league, Carmelo Anthony decided to attend one year at Syracuse for more experience. The Syracuse Orange went on to win the NCAA championship in Anthony’s freshman season, and he averaged 22.2 points during the championship run.  As for his personal life, Carmelo Anthony got engaged to La La Anthony in 2004. The couple tied the knot in 2010, three years after the birth of their son Kiyan.  Their relationship suffered rocky instances late in the 2010s and both parties mutually agreed for a divorce, but La La and Melo seem to be back together for good. Carmelo Anthony NBA Career Anthony initially wanted to play at Syracuse for a longer period, but felt the need to leave after winning the championship as a freshman. He set out on a new endeavor, and the Denver Nuggets used their third overall pick to select Melo in the 2003 NBA Draft.  He made his debut against the San Antonio Spurs and averaged an impressive 21.0 points per game as a rookie. Anthony finished second in the Rookie of the Year voting behind LeBron James and replicated similar form in the subsequent seasons as well.  He played with the Nuggets for eight years and registered several iconic moments with them. He reached his prime during the late 2000s and notched up 30 point games for fun. After posting incredible numbers in Denver and averaged 24.8 PPG in eight seasons, Anthony was then traded to the New York Knicks in 2011.

Mandatory Credit: Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports Trouble with the Knicks and career resurrection  Melo to the Knicks was a dreamy move, and fans in New York went crazy about him joining their franchise. He had developed as one of the league’s best players by that time, but collective success was hard to come by for the team.  Melo averaged 24.7 points and 2.4 blocks per game in seven seasons with the Knicks and had a fallout with Phil Jackson, who the President of the franchise at that period. Jackson wasn’t keen on keeping Anthony as he felt the forward didn’t fit well in his offensive plans.  Thus, Anthony was consequently sent to OKC when he played for a year. Melo’s career took a sharp downward spike after his Knicks exit, and the &#8216;superstar&#8217; status soon left his name after a dip in scoring averages.  He then joined the Houston Rockets after one year in Oklahoma, a move that put a dark dent in Melo’s career. He just played ten games for the Rockets as the team snubbed him without releasing his contract.  Jan 7, 2021; Portland, Oregon, USA; Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony (00) shoots over Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jake Layman (10) during the first quarter at the Moda Center. Mandatory Credit: Craig Mitchelldyer-USA TODAY Sports The Rockets then traded Melo to the Blazers in 2019, where he found a beam of shining light once again. Though age caught up, Melo was able to perform at a challenging level in Portland. His veteran experience proved to be the perfect match for the team’s young core.  After acting as the spark plug off of the bench, the Trail Blazers were not willing to take back the veteran forward to the team. But Melo had a special team waiting for him in the off-season, close friend LeBron James&#8217; Lakers. The Purple and Gold who have been on a roll of signing veterans, brought up Melo as they needed shooting in their team. Given that the 2021-22 season will be the first time LBJ and Melo will play with each other, fans simply can&#8217;t wait to see the duo this season.

Carmelo Anthony Current Contract Melo’s value has diminished over the years, and he’s currently signing one-year contracts with NBA teams. He most recently inked a similar deal with the Portland Trail Blazers for the 2021 season, worth a guaranteed amount of $2,564,753.  Carmelo Anthony 2021 Net Worth and Endorsements Celebrity Net Worth estimates Melo’s value at $160 million. His career earnings at the end of the 2021 season would be just short of $260M.  Forbes revealed that Anthony made $6 million from endorsements in 2020. He has tie-ups with Jordan Brand, Panini, Foot Locker, Powercoco, Isotonix, and Haute Time.  Carmelo Anthony contract details Melo might have signed some hefty contracts back in the day, but now he has resorted to a role as a veteran. After signing a two veteran minimum contracts with the Blazers, Anthony has signed a veteran minimum contract yet again worth $2,641,691 for a year this time for the Western Conference juggernaut the Los Angeles Lakers led by LeBron James. Carmelo Anthony Charity Organization Melo also runs a non-profit organization in his name and aims to give back to the community in various ways. The ‘Carmelo Anthony Foundation’ conducts a variety of outreach programs and donations and helps the underprivileged realize their dreams.  Carmelo Anthony NBA Sneaker Contract Melo is currently a Jordan Brand athlete, and he dons the Jumpman’s kicks in the league.

LeBron James

Who is LeBron James? LeBron James is widely considered to be one of the greatest to ever play the game of basketball. Born in Akron, James spent the majority of his professional career with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers, winning multiple NBA championships and earning numerous accolades along the way. Dec 7, 2023; Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23) reacts during the second quarter against the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA In Season Tournament Semifinal at T-Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports &nbsp; Known for his exceptional all-around game, James is a four-time MVP and has been selected to the All-Star team a record 18 times. LeBron James&#8217; early life LeBron James was born on December 30, 1984, in Akron, Ohio. James started playing basketball at a young age, showing great potential. He soon became one of the best high school basketball players in the country. James graduated from St. Vincent&#8217;s St. Mary High School and declared for the NBA draft in 2003. James led St. Vincent&#8217;s St. Mary to three state championships in four years. With Keith Dambrot and Dru Joyce II coaching the side for two years each, the Fighting Irish had a record of 101 victories and 6 losses during James&#8217; time. LeBron James&#8217; wife and children LeBron James was raised by his mother Gloria James, who struggled to make ends meet as a single mother. Not much is known about James&#8217; biological father Anthony McClelland, who was largely absent from LeBron&#8217;s life during his childhood. He is also reported to have criminal records to his name. James has been in a relationship with his high school sweetheart Savannah since his teenage years. The couple tied the knot on September 14, 2013. Savannah James has indulged in several business ventures over the years and is also a noted philanthropist. She has also established a mentorship program for young women. LeBron and Savannah have three children together: Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri James. Both Bronny and Bryce are following in their father&#8217;s footsteps to become basketball stars. In December 2023, Bronny made his long-awaited collegiate debut with the USC Trojans, less than five months after suffering cardiac arrest in July. LeBron James&#8217; net worth 2024 LeBron James has an estimated net worth of $1 billion, according to recent reports. James is the first active NBA star to achieve this feat. The four-time NBA champion signed a two-year $97.1 million contract extension with theÂ Los Angeles Lakers last year. As per reports, James has earned around $387 million in salaries in his 20-year NBA career so far. Furthermore, he has also made a fortune with his endorsement deals and investments, which have helped him build his massive business empire. LeBron James&#8217; NBA career timeline TheÂ Cleveland Cavaliers selected hometown boy LeBron James as the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft. James was a superstar straight out of high school and took the league by storm. He played for the Cavaliers from 2003 to 2010 in his first stint and won MVP awards in 2009 and 2010. Even though the Akron Hammer was almost unstoppable on the court and won many individual accolades, team success was hard to come by.

He received major backlash from Cavs fans after this move. However, he continued his dominance, alongside superstars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for the Heat, and clinched his first NBA title in 2012, followed by another in 2013. He also won the NBA MVP award and the Finals MVP award in 2012 and 2013. The estranged son then returned to the Cavaliers in 2014 and took the team to four straight NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. He helped the Cavs win their first-ever NBA title in 2016. James once again left the Cavs, this time to join the Los Angeles Lakers, in 2018 and led them to the 2020 NBA title.Â  Following the retirements of Udonis Haslem and Andre Iguodala, LeBron James is currently the oldest player in the league. On the 21st of November 2023, James became the first player in league history to reach 39,000 career points. Six days later, he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar&#8217;s record of 66,300 minutes to become the player with the most minutes played in NBA games during the regular season and playoffs.

King James is dedicated to providing the youth of America, especially those at risk, the opportunity required to prosper in life with his &#8216;I Promise&#8217; initiative. LeBron James&#8217; rings Over his illustrious 20-year career (and counting), James has won four NBA championships. He has led three different franchises &#8211; the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Los Angeles Lakers &#8211; to NBA titles. James&#8217; first title came in 2012 with the Heat, when he won his first Finals MVP award, followed by a second consecutive title in 2013. After returning to Cleveland in 2014, James delivered on his promise to bring the city its first major sports championship in over 50 years. In 2016, James powered the Cavaliers back from a daunting 3-1 deficit against the record-setting Golden State Warriors in the Finals. James won his 4th championship and NBA Finals MVP award in 2020, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a championship against his former side, the Miami Heat. LeBron James&#8217; shoe deals LeBron James signed a huge deal with Nike even before he entered the NBA. As James&#8217; superstardom rose, he became one of the most important faces of the brand, with his line of signature shoes, which is in its 20th version now. The four-time NBA MVP signed a lifetime deal with Nike in 2015 for an undisclosed fee. LeBron James&#8217; house LeBron James has reiterated multiple times that he does not spend his hard-earned money without reason. Former teammate Dwyane Wade once revealed that James is one of the cheapest players in the league despite being one of the richest. However, James knows how to spend his fortune in style. And when it comes to where he lives, the King does not compromise. According to reports, LeBron owns multiple properties in California, Ohio, and Miami, that are worth a combined estimated value of $100 million. LeBron James&#8217; car collection LeBron James is known for having an extensive collection of cars, estimated to be worth over $2 million. Some of the standouts include a Chevy Camaro SS, a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, and the Dodge Challenger SRT 392. He also owns a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, a 720-horsepower V12 supercar. Another notable element of his collection is a Mercedes luxury sedan, the Maybach S650, worth around $200,000. Notably, after teaming up with Shaquille O&#8217;Neal in Cleveland, Shaq gifted LeBron a Rolls Royce Phantom for his 25th birthday. The luxury car goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and is valued at around $505,000. LeBron James&#8217; controversial moments LeBron James has not had any major controversies so far. However, there have been a few questionable moments in his career. James was the centerpiece of controversy during his high school career for accepting gifts. Then his infamous move to the Miami Heat in 2010, announced on national television, stirred up a lot of controversy. James, who is very vocal about his political beliefs, was criticized for his association with Nike because of the brand&#8217;s political stance. Also, his comments on America after Brittney Griner&#8217;s detainment in Russia sparked some controversy. Will LeBron James retire? LeBron James, 39, is currently playing his 21st NBA season in the NBA. The future Hall of Famer is still playing at the highest level, but he is definitely at the tail end of his career. However, the Lakers icon will not retire after the 2023-24 season as he has multiple times opened up about his desire to play alongside his son Bronny James in the league. Bronny will be eligible to declare for the NBA draft next year. So there is a high chance that James may continue playing in the league until his son enters the NBA.

<h2>Russell Westbrook: Net worth, salary, and endorsements</h2>
Russell Westbrook was born on November 12, 1988, in Long Beach, California. NBA's Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2017 was named after his father. Russell has a younger brother named Raynard and married Nina Earl in 2015. Currently, 'Russ' plays for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/los-angeles-lakers/">Los Angeles Lakers</a>.

He started his <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/">NBA</a> career in 2008 when the Seattle SuperSonics (which later became Oklahoma City Thunder) drafted him as the fourth overall pick. He rose as a superstar while playing for the Thunder. Westbrook won the MVP award in 2017 when he averaged a triple-double for the season. He also set a record for the most triple-doubles in a season, with 42.

However, he was traded to Houston Rockets prior to the 2019/20 season. While his start with the Rockets was decent, injuries and questionable fit meant that Brodie ended up with a disappointing season.

[caption id="attachment_900442" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-900442" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-01-18T044844Z_782777261_MT1USATODAY17523169_RTRMADP_3_NBA-UTAH-JAZZ-AT-LOS-ANGELES-LAKERS.jpg" alt="Russell Westbrook" width="1920" height="1322" /> Jan 17, 2022; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (0) was given a technical foul for his reaction after a dunk over Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (27) in the first half of the game at Crypto.com Arena.

Westbrook was traded again to the Washington Wizards. While the 2017 MVP did help the Wizards to the playoffs, both the parties agreed to part ways. Before the start of the 2021-22 season, Brodie was traded to his hometown team, Los Angeles Lakers.

While huge things were expected of the star trio of Westbrook, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis, it turned out to be a remarkably disastrous season for the Lakers as they failed to qualify for the Playoffs.

Westbrook has also represented the US national team twice, winning gold medals in the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2012 Olympics. Moreover, Westbrook plays at the point guard position and wears jersey No.0.
<h2><strong>Russell Westbrook and Los Angeles Lakers</strong></h2>
After a decent season with the Wizards, rumors of Westbrook's potential departure started swirling. As the dust settled it was clear that Westbrook was on his way out, but his destination was not set.

Just as the market opened up, it was the Lakers who reportedly had a trade for sharpshooter Buddy Hield. But these rumors were immediately squashed as the Purple and Gold swept in for Westbrook. Trading away Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and multiple picks, the Lakers added a third superstar in Westbrook.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-763168" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Russell-Westbrook-Lakers-2.jpg" alt="" width="897" height="540" />

Brodie joined a stacked roster led by the duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. However, injuries to both Davis and James didn't allow the team to build chemistry. Westbrook bore the brunt of the criticism as the Lakers failed to clinch a Playoff spot.

Although he showed sparks of brilliance, Westbrook was inconsistent under Frank Vogel. His public spat with the head coach didn't do the franchise any favors.

According to reports, the Lakers have tried to trade Westbrook away throughout the offseason. However, Russ seems set to enter the 2022-23 season donning the purple and gold.

Russell Westbrook

Russell Westbrook: Net worth, salary, and endorsements Russell Westbrook was born on November 12, 1988, in Long Beach, California. NBA&#8217;s Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2017 was named after his father. Russell has a younger brother named Raynard and married Nina Earl in 2015. Currently, &#8216;Russ&#8217; plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. He started his NBA career in 2008 when the Seattle SuperSonics (which later became Oklahoma City Thunder) drafted him as the fourth overall pick. He rose as a superstar while playing for the Thunder. Westbrook won the MVP award in 2017 when he averaged a triple-double for the season. He also set a record for the most triple-doubles in a season, with 42. However, he was traded to Houston Rockets prior to the 2019/20 season. While his start with the Rockets was decent, injuries and questionable fit meant that Brodie ended up with a disappointing season.

Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports Westbrook was traded again to the Washington Wizards. While the 2017 MVP did help the Wizards to the playoffs, both the parties agreed to part ways. Before the start of the 2021-22 season, Brodie was traded to his hometown team, Los Angeles Lakers. While huge things were expected of the star trio of Westbrook, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis, it turned out to be a remarkably disastrous season for the Lakers as they failed to qualify for the Playoffs. Westbrook has also represented the US national team twice, winning gold medals in the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2012 Olympics. Moreover, Westbrook plays at the point guard position and wears jersey No.0. Russell Westbrook and Los Angeles Lakers After a decent season with the Wizards, rumors of Westbrook&#8217;s potential departure started swirling. As the dust settled it was clear that Westbrook was on his way out, but his destination was not set. Just as the market opened up, it was the Lakers who reportedly had a trade for sharpshooter Buddy Hield. But these rumors were immediately squashed as the Purple and Gold swept in for Westbrook. Trading away Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and multiple picks, the Lakers added a third superstar in Westbrook. Brodie joined a stacked roster led by the duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. However, injuries to both Davis and James didn&#8217;t allow the team to build chemistry. Westbrook bore the brunt of the criticism as the Lakers failed to clinch a Playoff spot. Although he showed sparks of brilliance, Westbrook was inconsistent under Frank Vogel. His public spat with the head coach didn&#8217;t do the franchise any favors. According to reports, the Lakers have tried to trade Westbrook away throughout the offseason. However, Russ seems set to enter the 2022-23 season donning the purple and gold.

<h2><b>Simone Biles Net Worth 2024, Husband, and Achievements</b></h2>
[caption id="attachment_1074513" align="alignnone" width="469"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-1074513" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1180798360-469x315.jpg" alt="Simone Biles" width="469" height="315" /> STUTTGART, GERMANY - OCTOBER 13: Simone Biles of The United States poses for photos with her multiple gold medals during day 10 of the 49th FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships at Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle on October 13, 2019 in Stuttgart, Germany.

<h2><b>Simone Biles Net Worth</b></h2>
Simone Arianne Biles is one of the most decorated American artistic gymnasts. As of 2024, her net worth is around $16 million. Apart from the cash prizes from various events and tournaments, endorsements have added a lot to the gymnast's worth. Biles has partnered with Athleta, SK-II skincare products, Visa, United Airlines, Spieth America gymnastics equipment, Uber Eats, MasterClass and Facebook Watch, Mondelez's Oreo brand, Core Power fitness shake Candid teeth aligners, GK Elite gymnastics apparel.

Apart from medals and endorsements, Biles also invested in the real estate market. Back in 2017, Biles listed her 3711 sq. ft. childhood home in Texas at $289,000 for sale. Presently, she is overseeing the construction of her new home with beau Jonathan Owens. While not much detail has been revealed about the house, the property is said to be on a highway in Texas.
<h2><b>Simone Biles' Family</b></h2>
Simone Biles' family comprises her parents and biological and adoptive siblings. Simone Biles also considers her pet dogs â€“ French Bulldogs, a female and male named Lilo and Rambo â€“ a part of her little family. Biles' adoptive parents are Ronald Biles and Nellie Biles. She has her own younger sister, Adria Biles, and two elder adoptive brothers named Adam and Ron Biles Jr.

Her extended family includes Ron Biles Jr.'s wife, Sammi Biles, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-gymnastics-news-baby-girl-is-already-so-loved-simone-biles-welcomes-baby-biles-to-her-adorable-family/">baby Biles, the little angel the family welcomed in November 2022. </a>She also has two estranged biological siblings, a sister named Ashley Biles Thomas, and a brother, Tevin Biles. The siblings got separated at a young age after being adopted by different families.
<h2><b>Early Life and Childhood</b></h2>
Simone Biles was born to Shannon Biles on March 14, 1997. Her biological father, Kelvin Clemons, was absent from her life since the beginning. Supporting four kids while battling alcoholism and drug addiction proved hard for Shanon Biles. Because of this, the young Biles siblings ended up in foster care for years. Biles was just three years old when she was separated from her biological mother and put into foster care. However, three years later, the Biles siblings were adopted by their maternal grandfather Ron Biles.

Simone Biles' <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-gymnastics-news-dont-call-and-dont-visit-simone-biles-biological-mother-was-forbidden-from-seeing-the-gymnastics-star-after-her-adoption/">biological mother was prohibited from contacting the gymnast after the adoption</a>. Simone was six when Ron and his wife, Nellie, adopted the Biles siblings. But soon it became difficult for the couple to take care of six young kids (2 biological and four adopted.) Eventually, Simone Biles' two elder biological siblings, Ashley and Tevin, were adopted by their grand aunt, Harriet.

Ron and Nellie were able to provide a safe and permanent home to little Simone and Adria. The healthy environment helped the young girls to focus on their education and explore their interests. This was also how Simone Biles found her way to gymnastics. Biles was just 6 when she saw teenage gymnasts practicing in the gymnasium during a daycare field trip.

Engrossed in her observations, she started imitating the moves of the teenagers. The coaches noticed this at the gym and wrote a letter addressed to Biles' parents suggesting enrolling her in a training center. Considering that, the couple enrolled Biles in Bannon's Gymnastix Center, which in turn became her first step towards her decorated gymnastics career.
<h2><b>Simone Biles' NFL husband Jonathan Owens</b></h2>
Simone Biles is married to the NFL safety, Jonathan Owens. The two first crossed paths during the Houston Texans' game in 2019. However, they officially met through Raya, a dating app, during the pandemic in March 2020. Reportedly, it took just about a month for the NFL player to fall for the gymnast.

They made their relationship Instagram official in August 2020. After dating for nearly two years, Jonathan Owens popped the big question in February 2022.

[caption id="attachment_1942013" align="alignnone" width="473"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-1942013" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1437383254-473x315.jpg" alt="Simone Biles" width="473" height="315" /> HOUSTON, TEXAS - OCTOBER 28: Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens pose on the field prior to Game One of the 2022 World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park on October 28, 2022 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by Carmen Mandato/Getty Images)[/caption]

Then in April 2023, the couple got married in an intimate courthouse wedding ceremony in Houston, Texas. Following this, the pair once again exchanged vows in an opulent destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, in the presence of their friends, families, and close-knit acquaintances.

Recently, Owens faced criticism when he admitted that he did not know well who Simone Biles was when they matched on the dating app Raya. Biles' fans were disheartened to know that Owens hadn't heard of Biles even after her 2016 Olympic run.
<h2><b>Simone Biles' Records and Achievements</b></h2>
Throughout Simone Biles's decorated <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/gymnastics-2/gymnastics/">gymnastics</a> career, she has won numerous accolades. She has 7 Olympic medals â€“ four gold, one silver, two bronze. Her recent comeback at the 2023 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium, added a lot more medals to her bag. She has won 30 World Championship medals â€“ 23 gold, four silver, and three bronze â€“ making her the most decorated gymnast in World Championships history.

<h2><b>Simone Biles' gymnastics comeback and Paris Olympics 2024</b></h2>
The 7X Olympic medalist took a break from competitive tournaments to focus on her mental health. During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she experienced the phenomenon known as <i>"the twisties,"</i> in the wake of which she withdrew from the event. The case of 'twisties' occurs when a gymnast loses control of their body while performing twists in the air. This incident prompted Biles to become one of the first athletes to discuss mental health and prioritize it over competition openly.

Biles is now all set to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The 26-year-old made it big at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in August winning her eighth all-around title. She also set a record for most international gymnastics medals by winning her sixth all-around title at the world championships in Belgium in October. Her comeback is a testament that she has prepared hard to pick up from where she left off in Tokyo.

Overcoming the twisties, this comeback marked a crucial milestone in her journey toward the upcoming Olympic games. She continues to prioritize her mental well-being and is undergoing therapy to strengthen her mental approach to her craft.

Throughout her journey, Jonathan Owens has been a supportive partner, standing by her side through thick and thin.
<h2><b>Simone Biles' Physical Regime</b></h2>
During the prime season, Simone Biles trains for 42 hours per week. These 42 hours are divided into seven hours per day, six days a week. Simone Biles takes an off from her training on Sunday. Of the six training days, Biles trains twice a day for four days, including Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. She trains just once a day on Thursday and Saturday. Her morning training sessions start at 9 am and end at noon. Whereas, the time for the afternoon session is from 3 to 6 pm.

Her routine includes running and stretching every part of the body. The stretching is done before and after the practice to warm up and cool down consecutively to help the muscles. For her competitions, Biles uses the cross-training method which includes running, swimming, and biking. Her routines comprise exercises like superman and hollow holds, regular and single-leg V-ups, scissors, and pulses for abs. The full-body workout includes the plie squats, superman lifts, boat holds, hip raises, and glute kickbacks. The bodyweight workout includes bear planks with butt kicks, crab reaches, wall walks, push-ups to plank jack knives and pike presses.

Here is a summary of how long she does the various regimes.

Swimming on Day 1-: 1 mile
Biking on Day 2-: 10 miles
Intense abs routine on Day 3-: 11 rounds
Full body on Day 4-: 30 minutes
Bodyweight workout on Day 5-: 30 seconds of each exercise for 3 rounds
Running on Day 6-: 3.1 Miles
Rest on Day 7

During the US Classic in 2013, Simone Biles introduced the floor exercise skill, which was a double layout with a half twist at the podium training. As Biles successfully performed it at the 2013 World Championships, the skill was ultimately named after her.
