Since then, the “6 God” has become a ubiquitous icon on the courts with a vision to invest millions of dollars to support the goal of improving basketball in Canada. Today Drake decided to expand its partnership with the NBA to include streetwear, and Bobby Shmurda has the honor of delivering the news.

Arcane: Netflix and Riot Games will offer a three-act broadcast
Announced to mark the tenth anniversary of League of Legends, the release date of the animated series Arcane is finally revealed.
The cartoon Arkan starts on Netflix with three episodes starting at 3am on November 7th, just hours after the final of the eSport LoL World Championship competition, or better known as Worlds, from the famous MOBA of Riot games. Three more will air a week later on November 13, 2021, and the last three will be available on November 20, 2021. Produced by Fortiche Productions and the Riot teams, this film will stage the precarious balance between the rich city of Piltover and the slums of Zaun, two places known in the world of Runeterra as the land of progress and home to the brightest minds. A balance threatened by the development of Hextech, a technology that enables anyone to control magical energy. In this tense atmosphere, two sisters with complex pasts – Jinx and Vi – will find their respective values and beliefs deeply challenged in ways that are as unexpected as they are crucial to the fate of the world of Runeterra and its two citadels. .
“When we started producing Arcane, we were deeply convinced that the story of Jinx and Vi was something very special, even unique,” says Creative Director Christian Linke. “We wanted to make Arcane a reflection of the deep moral questions that each of us will face one day. What are we ready for our family? Are we ready to question our values for the happiness of our loved ones and to face the resulting internal conflicts? The story, combined with the hand-painting inspired art direction and the fine character animation that we created in collaboration with Fortiche, will give all viewers a rich glimpse into the world of League of Legends. Creative designer Alex Yee adds: “Arcane is a story of duality in which characters are torn between the two halves of a city, each offering values and possibilities that at first glance appear completely opposite, but also as contradicting turn out to be complementary. Everyone has their own merits and weaknesses. You can be the hero of your own story and the antagonist of others. “
