Devin Booker Wears Rare Air Jordans to Honor Shawn Marion Air Jordan 5 PE hits the court for legend's Ring of Honor induction.

When you think of the best NBA teams that didn't win a championship, the 07 Seconds or Less Phoenix Suns of the 2000s are among the first to come to mind. With the offensive creativity of coach Mike D'Antoni and the perfect engine in point guard Steve Nash, the Suns revolutionized how the game was played, foreshadowing the high-octane offense that would become commonplace for the league in the future.

Another key component of those Suns teams was "The Matrix" Shawn Marion, one of the most versatile players ever to take the court. The All-Star forward scored, rebounded, and passed at a high level. He also defended well and shot the three at a high clip. Marion later went on to become an NBA Champion with the Dallas Mavericks, but most remember him for his time runnin' and gunnin' with the Suns.

Tonight, Marion rightfully takes his place among the greats in the Phoenix Suns' Ring of Honor. To mark the occasion, current Suns star Devin Booker broke out special shoes for warm-ups—a rare pair of Air Jordan 5 Player Exclusives that was made for Marion during the 2006-07 season. The shoes not only feature purple and orange accents, but also Marion's number '31' embroidered along the heels.

Booker isn't the first Sun to pay homage to Marion by wearing the Jordan 5s—P.J. Tucker wore the "Home" and "Away" colorways during the 2015-16 season.

R. Kelly is locked up thanks to the release of a new sex tape which shows him years ago having sex with another 14 year old girl. The tape is very graphic and you without a doubt can see it is R. Kelly performing sexual acts on the girl. Defense lawyer Michael Avenatti spoke about the investigation. Avenatti is representing six people in the investigation, including two alleged victims, two parents, and two “whistleblowers.” Avenatti addressed the tape, explaining, “The tape was shot in the late ‘90s, approximately 1999, it depicts two separate scenes shot on two separate days within Mr. Kelly’s residence at the time. The audio on the tape, you can clearly listen to it — it is clear — the video is far superior to the video that was used in connection to the 2008 trial. It is an entirely different video.” He added, “It is also clear from other things that are depicted on the video that this is in no way role-playing during some sexual act,” he said. “It is clear that this young l...

CHICAGO (FOX 32 NEWS)  - A  violent weekend  capped off Chicago's bloodiest week of the year. From April 30 through May 6, 10 people were killed and 73 others were wounded in gun violence across Chicago. This latest outbreak of violence underscores how gunmen are literally getting away with crimes up to and including murder. Overwhelmed police detectives have 155 currently active investigations of 2018 homicides, while "solving" or "clearing" 27 cases, barely 17 percent.  The clearance rate has dropped steadily in recent years, leaving thousands of murders in the last decade unsolved and thousands of killers still on the street. Chicago Police used to solve more than 60 percent of murders, back in the 1990s. New York City cops still do. But the number of CPD detectives has been cut since then.  As Mayor Rahm Emanuel prepares to run for re-election, he'll swear in 100 new detectives later this month a...
