I’ve never seen a hip hop performance by anyone before, but holy hell is it an experience. Recording artist COMMON performed with DJ IRIE at Ghostbar for the 944 Magazine NBA Allstar After-party on Sunday.  I was lucky enough to get a press pass to cover the event, and it was nothing short of amazing.

First, The New York Times publishes an article claiming Kobe has been rival-less his entire career; Then, Shaq goes on the record by tweeting “I want kobe bryant to get number four, spread da word”; Even Mr. President himself goes [...]

H-Town Here We Come!

I have never been to Houston before (for a few reasons which we can discuss later) but for a Lakers playoff game you can get me to go almost anywhere. That said, tomorrow Gilberto and I are headed to see the Lakers pound down on the Houston Rockets in the second round of the playoffs. The series is tied [...]

Gilberto is not totally with me on this one but please tell me you see the resemblance’s above between the coach of the Orlando Magic, Stan Van Gundy, and legendary porn star Ron Jeremy? Or Houston Rocket coach Rick Adelman and Adolf Hitler? Or is it the other way around: Stan Van Gundy throwing up a “hail” a [...]

Bye Bye Stupid Mr. Parker and Spurs Team

I am casual fan of the basketball. Of course, my passion is soccer and no team in the world for me is like Olympique Lyonnais…best team in the world for me, easy. But everyone here in France loves Mr. Tony Parker. All day “Tony Tony Tony” so I begin watching some years ago, and Spurs [...]

This man is Marko Jaric, an NBA journeyman (see: SCRUB), that currently resides somewhere on the Memphis Grizzlies bench. Now I don’t want to jump to conclusions, this is just an accusation, and we are all innocent until proven guilty. But let me show you what’s not cool about this situation. Meet Adriana Lima [...]

Wanna Get Away?

The other night during the halftime show of the Hornets and Pistons game things got very interesting when the stunt guy messes up while attempting a dunk off of a trampoline. The poor stunt guy hits his face against the rim and gets a scream out of the crowd. The funniest part is Rasheed Wallace in the clip (unrelated) looks as if hes throwing his towel at the stunt [...]

In spirit of last nights Laker victory I could not think of a better way to celebrate than by showing this weird music video from 1983:

“Shaq — your knuckles look scraped. Did you walk here?”
A few years ago, when Shaquille O’Neal was still a Laker, he and Jamie Foxx hosted a celebrity roast for the then-recently retired NFL superstar Emmitt Smith in Las Vegas. Numerous comedians, mostly black, ripped on or tried to rip on Emmitt & Co. but only [...]

The Nuances of a Man-Crush

I have a man-crush, and I’m not afraid to say it. He is the coolest guy I have ever met. OK, so I haven’t really ever met him but I feel like I know him. I’ve watched his performances, his interviews, all of his commercials, and I even wear his jersey to sleep when I’m [...]

Shaq-ovich or Shaq-the-bitch?

Shaq. The Diesel. Shaq Fu. The Big Daddy. Superman. Osama Bin Shaq. The Big Banana. The Big Cactus. The Big Shaqtus. The Big Baryshnikov. The Big Aristotle. And of course, The Big Crybaby Bitch. All in all, Shaquille O’Neal has had his fair share of self-imposed nicknames over the years.
And now, folks, he goes by [...]

Home Sweet Home

So i just made it back to LA tonight after 5 days in Mammoth…no snow bunnies but the Lakers Celtics game was epic and although i lost $200 on the over under it was well worth every penny. Tonight I am ready to see what LA has to offer and very much in need of [...]

Inspired by the strain soccer players put on their ankles when out on the “pitch,” Kobe (Cool Guy) and Nike have created the lightest (11.6 oz) and LOWEST basketball shoe ever. Ok, here’s my problem: I understand Kobe is an avid soccer fan, and on the surface his reasoning for creating a low-top sound almost [...]

Deja Vu?

So the Lakers once again defeat the Dallas Mavericks after another disappointing loss where the Mavs held on to the lead for nearly the entire game… until Kobe Bryant aka The Black Mamba decided to take over.  Our new favorite player is Trevor Ariza who has consistently come out with energy and authority, Ariza was scoreless in the first [...]
