LSU Tigers star gymnast Olivia Dunne and her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, were like many people on New Year’s, looking to celebrate the end of one year as we got set to bring in another year.
Livvy and Skenes partied on Bourbon Street in New Orleans before a deadly attack that left at least 15 people dead on New Year’s Day.
Skenes’ teammate joined the couple, and Pirates prospect Bubba Chandler and his girlfriend, Allie Enright. This was mere hours before a Ford pickup truck drove into a crowd of partygoers in New Orleans’ French Quarter and took lives while injuring as many as 30 people.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model showed one picture of Bourbon Street that showcased Georgia flags hung on buildings ahead of the Sugar Bowl between the Bulldogs and Notre Dame.

Phoenix Suns Shock Everybody By Sending Superstar Kevin Durant To NBA Heavyweight In Blockbuster Trade Proposal

A blockbuster trade proposal has the Phoenix Suns setting off fireworks across the NBA by dealing superstar Kevin Durant to a Western Conference juggernaut.
There’s no indication that the Suns are open to dealing Kevin Durant, or that the future Hall of Famer wants out. But the fact remains that Phoenix has one playoff series win in the KD era, and at 12-8 through 20 games, they don’t exactly resemble a championship contender.
If the Suns decide to shake up their All-Star core, Durant has to be the odd man out. Devin Booker isn’t going anywhere, and veteran guard Bradley Beal might have the most untradeable contract in the NBA.
Eddie Bitar of Fadeaway World proposed a mammoth trade idea that has Phoenix sending Kevin Durant back to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, De’Anthony Melton and first-round picks in 2026 and 2029:
“The chemistry between Durant and Curry is unmatched, with the two feeding off each other’s strengths to devastate opposing defenses. If Durant’s time in Phoenix shows signs of stagnating, he could be motivated to initiate a trade to the Warriors—a team he knows will be ready to compete the moment he steps on the floor…
Most importantly, Durant’s departure could also allow Booker to further solidify his role as the franchise player, with Beal supporting him as an experienced scorer who has made the playoffs multiple times. The return for Durant would bring in a mix of young talent and future draft picks, potentially giving the Suns a balanced roster that can grow and adapt as Booker and Beal enter their prime. “
