LeBron James Reportedly Motivated to Help Derrick Rose Earn Big Contract.

Derrick Rose's most famous new teammate is reportedly motivated to help him earn a significant

contract when he hits unrestricted free agency after the 2017-18 campaign.

Dave McMenamin of ESPN appeared on Wednesday's episode of The Jump and said of LeBron James,

"I've also heard that LeBron is invested in Derrick Rose's career so he can get that next

contract."

Rose signed a one-year deal with the Cavaliers this offseason worth just more than $2.1 million,

per Spotrac.

That may seem low on the surface for a 28-year-old three-time All-Star who won the 2010-11 NBA

MVP and the 2008-09 Rookie of the Year, but injuries have sapped Rose of much of his explosiveness

over the past few seasons.

They've also cost him his status as one of the best playmakers in the league, although

playing alongside a motivated James will give him a chance to re-establish himself.

Rose averaged 18 points a night in 64 games with the New York Knicks in 2016-17, which

was his first season away from the Chicago Bulls.

If he can stay healthy, Rose figures to play in some of the most high-profile games of

the upcoming season simply by being James' teammate.

James has been to the last seven NBA Finals and is the dominant force in the Eastern Conference

and consistently puts his team in position to play deep into the playoffs.

If Rose plays well under the spotlight while the Cavaliers are battling for their fourth

straight trip to the NBA Finals and helps pick up some of the point guard slack with

Kyrie Irving no longer around and Isaiah Thomas battling a hip injury, he can make an impression

on front offices around the league.

That would apparently be welcome news for James as they embark on their first season

together as teammates.

Thank you for watching.

YouTube Creators for Change: Abdel En Vrai - Duration: 3:09.

Humor is an anesthetic that helps convey a message.

You receive a message but it doesn't have such a harsh impact.

Thank you, Mr. Clapper.

My name is Abdel. I'm Belgian but of Moroccan descent.

And I make YouTube videos that promote empathy and tolerance

with humor.

Despite the fact that I was born in Belgium,

for certain people, I'm an immigrant because I'm Muslim.

And that's extremely unfair.

We must stop these generalizations and injustices permanently.

I think it's important to be fully informed,

in order to better understand people.

So, I started doing my YouTube videos

to raise awareness among people.

I had seen someone one TV making statements that shocked me.

So I decided to respond to her through video.

How are you doing? Listen, I'm making a quick video.

You can't make such gross generalizations

without having as many sources as this.

Alright!

I really like making people smile, making them laugh.

YouTube helped me distribute my message

firstly, by allowing me to express myself.

I became interested in taking these...

existing prejudices and deconstructing them.

When you're denied a position because your name

has too many letter of the alphabet, it sucks!

When you're a woman with a doctorate who

cannot get a job because you wear a head scarf, it sucks!

I learned, thanks to a single video, because it reaches many people,

you can actually change things.

That's powerful.

And that's when I was like, "Don't keep it all to yourself,

share it."

The YouTube Creators for Change project

is a project where we share positive messages.

And my project allowed people to attend workshops

where we'd meet young people and introduce them to filmmaking.

And so there are a series of videos talking about xenophonbia,

racism and Islamophobia.

I would like to hear someone at the workshop

say, "I'd like to do this too."

Just to tell themselves: "If he did it, so can I."

That's my dream.

Not everybody has the chance of having millions of views.

But when you have it, try and do good things.

YouTube is a crossroads of knowledge

where we can share understanding and information.

It's really something that can unite us all.

I think you can be a vehicle for social change

if you're able to reach one person.

Who, in turn will change another person

and then it's those people who will change the world.
