I’m happy to be home.” After the worst four-year stretch in franchise history, the 16-time NBA champion Lakers are rebuilding with the point guard who led the nation with 7.7 assists per game last season a few miles up the 405 freeway with the Bruins. With preternatural court vision, a solid scoring touch and a desire to become a leader, the Los Angeles- area native had everything that his favorite team’s top brass wanted. “Guys are going to nat- urally gravitate towards someone who wants to make them better,” Lakers coach Luke Walton said. “To me, he’s the type of player that, when he’s on the floor, all four guys that are out there with him become better instantly. And that’s a quality and a trait that not many people have. The great ones all have it, and we hope that by the C M way he plays, everyone else Y K on our team becomes better.” The Lakers also don’t appear worried about attaching themselves to LaVar Ball, the voluble family patriarch with aspi- rations of building a global sports empire around his three talented sons, one $495 pair of sneakers at a time. LaVar Ball has vowed that oldest son Lonzo would end up with the Lakers for two years, claiming he could speak his dream into existence. Moments after it became a reality at the draft in New York, LaVar pulled on a purple-and-gold hat featuring the logo of his Big Baller Brand company — and then declared Lonzo will lead the Page B2 samoa news, Friday, June 23, 2017 Tyson Gay keeps sprinting in memory of 15-year-old daughter SACRAMENTO, Calif. burial, everything was unreal,” (AP) — She ran the 100 and Gay said. “It’s been eight FILE - In this May 3, 2014, file photo, Trinity Gay, a seventh-grader racing for her Scott County 200 meters — just like dad.

AYFS MATAIS ARE UNDEFEATED, SO FAR Our local team - the AYFS Matais - were scheduled to play yesterday but were declared winners by way of forfeit, after the San Diego United team failed to field a complete team of eleven players. For now, the AYFS Matais are the top seeded team, in the 14U division, with a 2-0 record. In their first game against the Del Sol Wolverines, the Matais made it clear that they aren’t messing around. This was evident in the final score of 42-0. It was a lopsided victory that shows how well prepared and hungry our young football players are. Samoa News has been in contact with several players on the team and their family members. Sam Logoai, #9, expressed his gratitude to the people of American Samoa for their continued support and prayers for the team, and added that they remain humble as they move on to the next games on their schedule. The Matais didn’t play yesterday but they take the field tomorrow at Madison High School against a team yet to be determined, at 5p.m. (CA time) In a message posted on social media, one of the AYFS coaches who is in San Diego chaperoning the Matais wrote, “We want to thank all the parents, families, and supporters of our AYFS Matais Football Team back home in American Samoa for your endless prayers and support. We are here and we will represent with our very BEST. We love you all and God bless!” For the game that was won by forfeit, he wrote, “It is unfortunate that our boys didn’t get to play as planned but we are thankful that the boys are still in high spirits. We want to thank all the families and friends that drove and came out today to support our AYFS Matais. Thank you Pastor Benson and wife Mona Mauga for attending the game and for the pizza for the boys after. Special thanks to the Tuiasosopo Family for the kind contribution and donation for our AYFS Matais on behalf of player Fululafanua Ufivelesili. Thank all our families and supporters back home in American Samoa. GO MATAIS!!!” The team is scheduled to return to the territory next Friday, June 30. [photo: courtesy]

He seems wonderful. He’s a hard worker, takes care of his responsibilities and is an amazing father to his children. They’re all still very little, but they’re great kids. The only thing that’s been on my mind lately is he has a lot of baggage. Those kids are from three different women. He gets along with all of them very well, to the point that they sometimes do stuff together with the children. They go out to places, or sometimes he invites them over to his place to swim in the pool. I understand that he has to maintain a healthy relationship with his exes for the sake of the chil- dren, but I never thought it would be this “healthy.” I have never experienced something like this. I appreciate him being upfront about everything, but I can’t stop thinking about it. Am I overreacting? -- THREE’S COMPANY DEAR THREE’S COMPANY: I don’t think so. While I admire the man’s devotion to his children -- not to mention his skilled diplomatic ability -- it does appear that he has a problem making a lasting commitment to a woman. Unless you would seriously consider joining this “harem,” I urge you to reli- giously practice contraception. If you would like children in the future, it would be better to approach it with someone who isn’t as marriage-phobic as this young man appears to be. ** ** ** DEAR ABBY: I recently attended a wedding after which the bride chose not to adopt her hus- band’s last name. After the wedding we met them for dinner. When they strolled up to the restaurant to meet us, I happily exclaimed, “Oh, here come Mr. and Mrs. Smith!” after which I was quickly informed that I was wrong because the bride was keeping her maiden name. Abby, even if a woman goes by her maiden name, is it so wrong to refer to her as “the Mrs.”? -- STEPPED IN IT DEAR STEPPED: Your mistake was an innocent one. Now that you know this couple is sensitive about their individual identities, address them by their names (“Linda” and “Robert”) if you wish to maintain a social relationship. ** ** ** DEAR ABBY: You and your mother have answered many sexual questions in your column over the years. Editors back in the ‘50s were more prudish about what could be published in family papers. Did your mother have to battle with dragons to print sexual questions from her readers? -- SONNY IN ALABAMA DEAR SONNY: If she did, she didn’t mention it to me. While I agree that editors back then -- and even now -- tend to be conservative, if they disapprove of a letter, they are free not to print it.
