LeBron James' endorsement of Kamala Harris last year came with an added bonus for him.

Records show that on Jan. 28 the former vice president paid James' entertainment company $50,000 for "campaign event production."

James and his longtime business partner, Maverick Carter, founded the company, Springhill Entertainment, in 2020.

Carter and James have been linked since high school. The two played basketball at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, and are also minority owners of the Boston Red Sox and the English soccer club Liverpool.

Records show the campaign had seven such "campaign event production" payments, each to a different recipient, including one to actress Jennifer Garner for $35,000. 

The largest payment went to Production Management One, Inc. for $258,993.

The NBA's all-time leading scorer has long been critical of President Donald Trump, and James urged his followers to "vote Kamala Harris" the week before the election.

"What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!" James posted on X.

When former President Joe Biden decided on Harris as his running mate in 2020, James voiced support.

"Congrats and well deserved Sen. Kamala Harris!! Love to see and support it! Appreciate you JB," he wrote at the time.

The four-time MVP endorsed Hillary Clinton for president during the 2016 election and campaigned for her in Ohio while he was still with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

James previously called Trump a "bum" when Trump rescinded a White House invite to Stephen Curry. 

"Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!" he said at the time.

Trump also once said it "wasn't easy" to make James "look smart."

When Trump said he was losing interest in the NBA after players knelt during the national anthem, James said, "I really don't think the basketball community are sad about losing his viewership."

New Orleans Saints right tackle Ryan Ramczyk on Thursday announced his retirement after an eight-year career in the NFL, which saw the three-time All-Pro sidelined last season due to continued knee issues. 

Ramczyk, 30, made his announcement in a lengthy post on social media, where he highlighted his unconventional path to the pros. 

"What an incredible journey it’s been. My path to the NFL wasn’t a straight line, it wasn’t the story most people expect. There were moments when people doubted me, moments when I doubted myself," Ramczyk's post read.

"It’s funny how life works out. Sometimes the road less traveled leads to places you never expected, but it ends up being exactly where you were meant to be. Today I reflect on all the twists and turns that got me to this point, from technical college to become a 'welder' to All-Pro in the NFL. As I step into retirement, I’m filled with gratitude for everything this sport has given me."

Drafted by the Saints in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Ramczyk was a three-time All-Pro and appeared in 101 regular-season games, starting every single one. He is just the second Saints tackle to be named an All-Pro in three seasons.

Ramczyk missed a significant amount of time during the 2021 season because of a knee injury. According to ESPN, he stayed healthy the following year but in 2023 missed the final four games due to knee issues. He was sidelined all of 2024 because of the same issue. 

"To the amazing New Orleans Saints fans. Thank you for embracing me from day one. Your passion and energy are unmatched, you made New Orleans feel like home. To my incredible wife, thank you for being my rock through every high and low. And to my parents, who instilled in me the meaning of hard work and dedication," Ramczyk continued in his post. 

"I’m excited for what the future holds, especially the opportunity to spend more time with my two boys and watch them grow. I’m looking forward to this next chapter in life and am forever grateful. Who Dat for life."

The NFL on Wednesday revealed that Ramczyk will announce the Saints' second-day draft picks in Green Bay, Wisconsin, next week.

Texas Rangers’ starting pitcher Patrick Corbin was no guarantee to make his start in the team’s 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday.

Corbin, 35, walked into the Rangers' clubhouse on Wednesday with a swollen ankle, after being bitten by an insect on Monday. 

"It was really bad in the morning," Corbin told reporters Thursday afternoon. "I wasn’t sure if I was going to throw."

"He could hardly walk when he came in. I don’t know if it was a spider or what," Rangers’ manager Bruce Bochy said. "Some kind of venom got in there. Not sure if it was a spider or what. He was 50/50 on whether he would make the start or not," Bochy said via MLB.com.

Corbin received treatment before the game and went on to make his start. He pitched 5 1/3 innings while he gave up just one run on five hits and struck out six batters and got the win.

The Rangers signed Corbin late in spring training as they dealt with injuries to their starting rotation. They signed the left-handed pitcher on March 18.

Corbin is in his 13th MLB season. He spent the first six seasons of his career with the Arizona Diamondbacks and made the National League All-Star team twice. 

After six seasons with the Diamondbacks, Corbin spent the next six seasons with the Washington Nationals after he signed a six-year contract with the team prior to 2019. 

Corbin was an integral part of the team’s pitching staff during their playoff run in 2019, when the Nationals won the World Series over the Houston Astros. 

The Rangers' (12-7) next game is against the Los Angeles Dodgers (14-6) on Friday at 8:05 p.m. ET on Friday.
