ITP V.026 SPORTS: LEBRON JAMES SIGNS WITH PHILADELPHIA 76'ERS

 May be an image of text

 
 
 
U.S.A. basketball legend LEBRON JAMES is going to the Philadelphia , 76ers in an 8 million 2 year deal.
The NEW YORK KNICKS have competition in the East now, although we'll see if Philly and Lebron stays healthy.
 
 
 FROM LEBRON JAMES: 
 
 
I thought I was done when the season ended. I wasn't ready to announce it, and I knew I needed some time to really decide, but I was pretty sure I played my last game. I was honest at that last press conference when I said I needed to look at myself and deicide if I still love this game. I still truly love this game, and I have more to give.
The last few weeks have really been special. I’ve never been able to have no clue what to do and take real time to just think. I’ve had an incredible few months with all the people I love trying to figure it all out. This is my last decision. I’m not going for money. I’m not going for family. What am I really playing for at this point?
I still want to sacrifice. I still want to work. I still want to grind. I still want to compete, to win and to have a chance at the feeling of winning another championship.
I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time.
Thank you LA. Miami I’ll forever love and Northeast Ohio will always home!

ITP V.026 ONLY ONE PER COFFIN: R.I.P. LOU KOLLER (VOCALIST SICK OF IT ALL)

 

 May be an image of text that says 'LOU KOLLER 1967-2026 2026'

 

 LOU KOLLER, vocalist for NEW YORK HARDCORE legends SICK OF IT ALL has died after a battle with cancer at 59. 

 

 

 SICK OF IT ALL last released "WAKE THE SLEEPING DRAGON", 11/2/2018 via FAT WRECK CHORDS and CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS. 

 

 

 

FROM 23 PUNK: 

 

Sick Of It All vocalist Lou Koller has passed away at the age of 59.
“It's with unbelievable sadness that we announce to our worldwide hardcore family the passing of our brother Lou Koller. The level of loss that we feel at this time is overwhelming. This year would have marked Sick of it All's 40th anniversary as a band, and Lou's camaraderie, commitment and enthusiasm were always steadfast throughout the years. We have lost a beloved friend and an iconic frontman. Lou had the power to raise everyone's spirits at our shows with a smile and a sarcastic comment, and he won people over wherever we played, from every culture and every corner of the world.
At this time of intense grief, we must again acknowledge the great help and support offered by everyone who donated to Lou's medical fund. You all helped Lou feel very special and very loved as he battled away these last two years. His battle is over now and he can finally rest. Hopefully he can somehow still see and feel the beautiful, positive mark he left on the world.” - Sick Of It All
Rest in peace, Lou 💔
July 15, 1967 – July 24, 2026 


FROM DROPKICK MURPHY S
Rest in peace old friend. We were all lucky to have known you, traveled with you and shared many stages with you. Music lost one of its best today. One of the real good guys 💔
 
 FROM HEAVEN SHALL BURN: 
 This loss is immeasurable. Both musically and humanly. We remember our first joint tour with SICK OF IT ALL We had a hype, but actually not much idea about anything. That's how we met untrained amateurs to the legendary Sick Of It All. Lou took us right away as we are, no attitude from above, no competition, but honest and authentic words and actions at eye level. We learned a lot from him about integrity, respect, and above all, how to deal with people. Whether a bum, a king, a fan, or bitter enemies, he always had the right approach and attitude. We still cherish these formative experiences today. Thank you very much for everything Lou, it breaks our hearts. But above all, we think of your family, your band, and your closest friends. We are simply grateful to have met you and had the honor of sharing the stages of this world with you. We have never seen a bad show from you, we also don't know anyone or someone who has heard of a bad show from you! And you have a very big share of this true legend! Role model. Inspiring. Immortal.
