After one week of the new NBA season has been put into play I notice that there is a love for the game that seems to be missing. It’s not so much that players aren’t kissing each other anymore (no Baby F Weezy), but when the game’s best player walks off the court before time has expired I get the notion that not everything is love-love in the longshorts Association.
If LeBRON JAMES were RANDY MOSS every newspaper would have written an op-ed about the petulant, selfish, ungrateful athlete who is ruining professional sports because he doesn’t respect the team aspect of his sport (read: Black athlete). What exempts LeBRON from being niggardly villified in the T.I. MSM? I guess it’s the fact that he is riding with one of the most powerful plantation owning T.I.’s on the planet in DAVID STERN. Nobody said a peep about LeBRON’s antics, except for the closeted sportswriter Gay JAY MARIOTTI. No one from ESPN even noticed this story. I love ESPN for their highlights and their snark and how they have several white sportscasters that cleverly misappropriate urban dialect, but I hate the fact that they are no more than just a 24 hour a day advertisement for the NFL and the NBA. Home Shopping Network has more journalistic integrity. BOO YAH!
Only LM would believe that GILBERT ARENAS would have a better ppg average than SHOWBEE The Rapist, but that’s the magic contained in the first week of play. Speaking of the Magic, there is a website called Grant Hill’s Ankle that will undoubtedly chronicle the quest for mediocrity that the Orlando Magic are on. I would tell you to leave them a comment but they have some security system on their comments section that is tougher to crack than BeYONCE’s bodyguard. In any case, TURKOGLU can’t pull those last second fade away jumpers out of his arse every night. It’s not like he’s TRACY McGRADY or something.
TRACY McGRADY is the number one pick on my fantasy team draft sheet. Yep, even before SHAAKWEEL. I’ll tell you why… TRACY has a classy wedding photo album production aesthetic. Take the time to let that jawn load up. Homeboy has semi-nude picks of his wife up on that piece. TRACY, you are the man and the internets love you for it. I sent that link to my peoples at ON SMASH dot com so that means that this weekend there will be about fifty thousand internets geeks doing the meat roll up to TRACY’s new wife. Now all I need is for homegirl to start going to the games like JASON KIDD’s whore wife so I can complete my CLARINDA McGRADY photo album.
Oh, and yeah, the Knicks still suck.
Lebron’s stroll didn’t look good but I give him a pass, no pun intended. He and Moss are similar in how their talent compares to their peers, but they’re way different as far as competitive makeup/leadership/etc. When Moss walked off a few years back the criticism was overblown but justified. That game still had plenty of time for a Joe Pisarcik moment while the other night the Cavs didn’t have Reggie Miller to pull them out of the fire. (Funny how both those games involved New York teams at the losing end.)
T-Mac’s game is superlative, he’s always seemed like a good guy and that’s a nice wedding album. But now I KNOW he won’t be hoisting a championship trophy anytime soon. He’s saying himself that he’s ancient for a 27-year-old, plus he’s happy at home? Yao better step up for the Rockets to make playoff noise.
Yeah, I’d love the Wizards to do something too, but other than Etan Thomas they’ve got no bangers with any skill. Arenas is always fun, though. Not eccentric at all.
I get all my ESPN on the Web. Keeps the hucksterism down. BTW, you know that’s NFL commish Roger Goodell’s wife who’s all over YouTube for her Fox newsreading slipup?
I missed the big “walk off”. In all honesty, I’ve lost a little passion for B-Ball just a bit. Well maybe it’s some of the players that are a turn off. Seems like they’ve drafted more angrier/criminal men than in the last few decades. I wasn’t even a fan of Brons until I peeped his nutty professor knock off/copied commercials recently. They should be talking about his antics, they scrutinize everyone else, he should be no exception.
I saw the McGrady vid about 3 weeks ago. I thought it was beautiful. There is that shot where home girl has the g-string and is showing a lil azz…(don’t know about having my butt circulating on the internet), but it’s still a nice wedding vid.
Tracey’s photo album is nice!
Oh, my bad this was about the game………sorry I missed it, my bad!
How do u pause the damn thing…..j/k j/k j/k=just kidding
T-mac’s wedding website makes a brotha wanna get married like yesterday…that’s one classy website and wedding to boot.
When you don’t get the rebound the game is over.
I give him credit for letting fans go home early.
Yo D whats a good b-ball fantasy site? Where can I pick my team- is it too late?
basketball is an athletic, powerful, sometimes graceful, and often awesome sport, one must possess extreme hand-eye coordination, be in top physical and mental shape-there are lots of rules that you have to remember and you must make split-second decisions, AND it’s also VERY entertaining, unlike baseball and football which sometimes move…at…a…snail’s….pace.
the players…unlike any other sport…i think people feel as though they know them more intimately than other sports figures, perhaps its because they play in their skivies? anyhoo…i love me some basketball…forget soccer….basketball is the universal sport.
i wonder though….all of the millions that they “give” the players to play…how MUCH are they making? owners,etc….boggles the mind really!
At this time it looks like WordPress is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
