Five things you need to know

1. Otto Warmbier has died at age 22

If you’re not familiar with Otto Warmbier’s story, he’s the 22-year-old American university student who was detained in North Korea for more than a year after stealing a political propaganda poster. The University of Virginia student was finally returned home last week, but in a coma, and on Monday afternoon he succumbed to his injuries.

2. The NHL will unveil the league’s new Adidas jerseys tonight

All 31 teams in the NHL are getting new jerseys tonight, but a lot of them will look awfully similar to what they had before. The league is making the switch from Reebok to Adidas jerseys, and just like when the league switched to Reebok, that means all new jerseys. Some teams will have changes, and Vegas will unveil their first ever jersey, but most teams won’t see much change.

The Future is coming.

Hova is back. Four years ago, JAY-Z announced that he’d be changing his name’s spelling or look from Jay-Z to Jay Z. Now, he’s bringing back the hyphen and making the switch to all caps ahead of his upcoming album, “4:44,” which will be an exclusive TIDAL release on June 30th.

4. Conor McGregor’s shows off his gym wall and it’s exactly what you’d expect

You can’t expect anything less from arguably the most cocky man in sports. Conor McGregor posted a picture to social media on Monday, which showed off the mural on his gym wall in the background. The mural shows McGregor knocking out Floyd Mayweather with a mean left. McGregor and Mayweather will finally fight on August 26th.

The new Ken doll is out and it screams 2017. The latest edition of Barbie’s male counterpart features a man bun. It’s all part of an effort by Mattel to diversify the dolls. When purchasing the new Ken doll, you now have the option of three new body types and different skin tones as well.
