The off-season’s been pouring headline hits like happy hour—Durant drama, Bane bags, Lakers’ $10B splash, LeBron James’ future still on simmer.

It’s the kind of under-the-radar career leap that doesn’t just rewrite resumes, it reshapes locker rooms.

“Congrats my brother!! Well deserved @jareddudley10,” wrote the King on his Instagram stories.
