If you passed through New York’s iconic Times Square this past June and looked up from your smartphone, you would have seen the world’s largest Paper Plane cocktail. Seven times an hour for two weeks, a 15-second advertisement for the Italian Amaro Nonino ran on a giant 8,500-square-foot billboard. It showed a bartender making a Paper Plane, which calls for bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino (naturally), and lemon juice.

With the Los Angeles Lakers missing their two high-profile stars in LeBron James and Luka Doncic on Wednesday night, it was the man dubbed as the team’s “third option” who again had an elite-level performance. While James has yet to suit up through the start of the 2025-26 NBA season , Doncic has missed the Lakers’ last three games, including the thriller on Wednesday, Oct. 30, against the Minnesota Timberwolves. In their absence, Reaves has done more than just pick up slack; he’s proven capable of being more than just a third option. The Lakers are 2-1 in the three-game stretch, with Reaves averaging an unreal 40 points per game, including pouring in 51 points against the Sacramento Kings and 41 against the Portland Trail Blazers. However, his performance against the Timberwolves was even more impressive, as he capped off a 28-point, 16-assist night with a tough game-winner jumper.
