Rap mogul Sean Combs, 41, took time out of his busy schedule to attend a history class at UCLA on Wednesday. Baron Davis, guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers, tweeted the above pic of Combs listening intently in class with other NBA players. Kevin Love, forward for the Minnesota Timberwolves is also in the photo.
While Combs may have been attending class just for a day (or more like a few minutes), the two NBA players, in addition to Russell Westbrook and Trevor Ariza, take their education more seriously. The men are all enrolled at UCLA during their hiatus from the NBA due to the NBA lockout.
All 4 NBA players serve as inspirations to Black kids everywhere. “I don’t want the lockout to go to December or January but just in case I’ve signed up to be in class in the fall,” Love said in an interview with ESPN.com. “I’m excited to have the opportunity to do so but I’m hoping my fall classes get cut short.”
Combs was on campus with his son, Justin Combs, 17, who is being considered as a possible recruit for the Bruins. Justin is a standout wide receiver at his private school in NYC.
Something tells us the enrollment rate for groupies at UCLA is about to soar

The price of Gucci backpacks are about to skyrocket. According to the Atlanta Journal, a 13-year-old boy was beaten by as many as 6 youths who targeted him for his trendy Gucci backpack:
Four people accused of beating and robbing a teenager at a Forsyth County shopping center could be linked to other crimes in the area, police said Wednesday.
A 13-year-old boy required medical attention after being robbed of his Gucci backpack and beaten outside the theater Friday night at The Avenue Forsyth near Cumming. The teen sustained cuts and abrasions in the assault and was punched in the face, police said.
Roberto Emilio Basilio and Ayinde Kadeen Woodley, both 18, and Anthony Jason Riddle and Jose Luis Sotero, both 17, each face charges of theft by taking and robbery, both felonies, and battery, a misdemeanor, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators believe at least two others may also have been involved in the crime. Source
But why was a 13-year-old boy walking around the streets at night with a $900 backpack? Why weren’t his parents arrested along with the thugs?
