The Thunder Is Going Under…

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

durant

Watching the homey KEVIN DURANT the other nite against Golden State two things became obvious to me…

  • He’s the most exciting player in the Association (including Showbee and the LakeShow)
  • He’s still not ready for the MVP award, not yet

    • KD shitted on the Golden State Warriors for 40 points, but he needed at least three more in his final boxscore. His 3-point attempt at the end of regulation would have given the Thunder an overtime period to do what they should have done in the first place. That the Thunder can still lose this late to a non-playoff team means that they still aren’t tuned up for a long playoff run. DURANT might could use one or two players to further complement what he and RUSSELL WESTBROOK are doing.

    I’m glad that KD isn’t a surprise around the league any longer. Sonn is the truth(no Paul Pierce). I’m not counting DURANT or the Thunder out of the 2010 post-season tournament, but I’m even more excited for what he will be doing next year. I never really liked KOBE and I never bought into the LeBRON machine. DURANT was the breath of fresh air in the Association. No one was handjobbing that dude on ESPN, but now its like everybody is a Durantula stan. Ah well, such is the league when your aging all-stars are playing in Puerto Rico to get themselves out of gambling debts.

    Around the Association…

    While Cleveland boasts the best record in the league this season, every playoff team in the Western Conference has at least the same record as the Boston Celtics (the East’s #4 seed). The Western Conference ‘chip > the overall league Finals.

    Dwayne Wade will stay in Miami. No, Dwayne Wade will retire in Miami.

    The Nets won’t have the league’s worst record evar this season, but there is always NEXT season.

    The Association has become like the NFL in that this offseason could produce the highest number of coaching vacancies we’ve seen. Let me publicly say that I will volunteer to pack Mike D’Antoni’s luggage

    I’m gonna release more of this Inspectah Deck interview over at iHipHop.com, but I thought I would put a little bit of it out there now to coincide with the NCAA tournament in the opening weekend of March Madness.

    R.I.P. McNASTY (Final 4 Re-Up)

    Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

    Editor’s note: Brooklyn’s own is gone but never forgotten

    Before I get all sick over the Big East representing so thorough in this years NCAA tournament I thought I should give some love to my brother that brought his brand of Brooklyn excitement to the hardwood. CONRAD McRAE was nicknamed McNASTY for the ferocious zeal that he played the game with. His specialties were thunderous slam dunks and emphatic shot rejections.

    CONRAD was a athletic and energetic player, but at 6ft. 9in. he was undersized to play the center position in the big leagues despite finishing Syracuse with a stellar career. CONRAD took his game overseas and found tremendous success playing in the Italian and Turkish leagues. The following press blurb was taken from the Ankara Daily News…

    Con man “A hat-trick of basketball stories for you today, the first one we would prefer not to have to write. Forward Conrad McRae has died of a heart attack while in training with the Denver Nuggets. McRae was well known to Turkish basketball lovers from spells with Fenerbahce and Efes Pilsen. In his Fener days, he made himself one of the most popular players in the Turkish League, not only because of his fluent points scoring but because of his flamboyant style and crowd-pleasing antics. With Efes he was less successful. Some of the magic seemed to have gone and it was apparent he was never going to be the team player then- coach Aydin Ors wanted. The club released McRae before he had completed a single season. Nevertheless the fans will remember with affection the sight of him soaring in like a giant eagle for one of the slam dunks he and they so loved.”

    That’s just how I remember ol’ boy too.

    ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK BITCHES!!!

    Monday, March 15th, 2010

    jayhawk

    Editor’s note: I’m totally laughing my arse off because I used this same exact drop back in 2007. Look it up. Winners still get free shit.

    Guess what buttercups?!? It’s another DP Dot Com sports pool. This time it’s for the NCAA Final Four tournament. Thank goodness Yahoo dot com sets up the brackets and administers the points. All you have to do is register. Leave me a comment on this post thread if you want to part of the March madness. I will e-mail you the secret password and you can get it on and popping. You will need to be registered before the first games tip off on Thursday afternoon.

    College basketball hasn’t been worth a shit since all the good players go to the Association straight from high school anyhoo. March Madness however, is that shiite. It gives you the chance to get that old college sweatshirt from off the floor in your hallway closet. Remember the good ol’ college days when you could drink a keg of beer all by your lonesome? And how you would smoke weed out of almost anything? This is the time of year when all that is good again. Call up some old college buddies and get wasted. Call up your old college boyfriend and get laid. Why the fuck do you think they call it March Madness? The credo for liars and cheaters is in full effect, so whatever happens during March Madness, stays in March Madness.

    I am predicting that the Kansas Jayhawks take the crown this year. Who the fuck cares!?! The winner gets a free pair of Nike Dunks. And that’s what’s really good!

    The Association 2010: Wig Owners > Wig Brushers…

    Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

    rodman

    For his overall size [ll] DENNIS RODMAN was one of the best players in the league. His singular defensive focus and uncanny knack for securing rebounds should have him voted into the Hall Of Fame. The thing that hurts RODMAN’s chances are all those times that he fuxed with his hair. RON ARTEST is slowly becoming the new millennial DENNIS RODMAN except ARTEST still doesn’t have a championship. DENNIS has a handful. As soon as RON RON gets his ring he will enter the circle of NBA Wig Owners.

    But for now he has shown promise, like the TRU WARIER design he wore while in Indiana. ARTEST shows us that despite poor spelling we knew exactly what he was trying to say. Who’s the fool?

    Just in case he forgot what shitty shitburg the Pacers shipped him off to RonRon had his squad’s named laced into his scalp. But without Bibby in the backcourt any longer the Kings were more like the serfs.

    Houston was the next stop for the RON ARTEST hair show. The Rockets were buzzing with the notion of TRACY McGRADY, YAO MING, SHANE BATTIER and RON ARTEST all on the floor at the same time. Unfortunately that moment only occurred for 10 minutes in a pre-season game.

    rodman

    Artest: I can get you a haircut for halfprice?
    Kobe: Nah man, I’m good.

    ronron Hi, my name is Ron
    To shore up their defense (read: to give fits to CARMELO ANTHONY) the Lakers acquired ARTEST from the Rockets. Lakers coach PHIL JACKSON had dealt with the eccentric DENNIS RODMAN previously so most people assumed he could figure out the enigmatic RON ARTEST.

    After finishing the first half of the season looking like the bee’s knees (except for their Cleveland matchups) the Lakers have come back down to Earth. To hopefully spark(yes LISA LESLIE) his teammates ARTEST added a new wrinkle to his wigscape – hairdye. This was a wigbrushing technique that was mastered by RODMAN since his days in Detroit.

    rodman

    The Lakers’ skid hasn’t ended yet, but the road to Wig Ownership for RON ARTEST has only just begun. He’s a got a lot of ‘chips to win and boards to grab if he wants to equal the NBA’s Wig Brushing/Owning G.O.A.T., but I won’t count RON ARTEST out.

    Come to think of it, just wait until ARTEST plays for the Clippers?

    rodman

    Peace to Yahoo’s NBA super-blogger TREY KERBY
