A player on the University of Memphis women’s basketball team was charged with assault Friday for allegedly punching a Bowling Green State University athlete in the handshake-line after an NIT game, police said. Jamirah Shutes and Elissa Brett got into some kind of argument after Bowling Green’s 73-60 home court victory on Thursday night, and Shutes allegedly turned physical. In a statement, Memphis called the incident “extremely unfortunate,” and Bowling Green said, “Violence is never acceptable.”BGSU women’s basketball moving on to the final 8 of the WNIT after beating Memphis — but this will steal the headlines unfortunately.

Atlanta’s top upscale venue hosted the former NBA all-star and celebrity friends. The legend Shaquille O’Neal celebrated his 51st birthday at Atlanta’s news west hotspot, The Bank. O’Neal’s party was hosted by one of Atlanta’s Top Business executives, restaurateur, and builder, William Platt. Platt is Atlanta’s golden knight. He was the man who revitalized the Westside. He intentionally brought Hollywood to Donald Lee Hollowell BLVD, which is only the beginning. Platt could have built his multi-millionaire luxury venue anywhere but chose to invest in the community. No one would have ever imagined that Atlanta’s hottest premiere destination and venue would be in Bankhead.
