I see we have folks who don't know basketball talking about it again. "Austin Rivers 'dunks' on Rasheed Wallace.."

If you don't know, Jerry Stackhouse puts on a Pro-Am event on the campus of NCCU this time of year. This year, the NCAA has deemed that the high school players can't play, which is a shame 'cause no money is passing hands outwardly, due to it being a 'unfair recruiting advantage for NCCU' (Yeah aight..). Anyway....Here are some Austin Rivers highlights. I mean it was a PRETTY DUNK and the young man can play. However, just like the self alley he threw and homie got outta the way, Rasheed 'let him dunk'. Clearly you don't know 'Sheed or basketball if you can't tell when he 'lets something happen'. I know..I know...you would have....(insert dirty ass play here) I get it. That's probably why they wouldn't let your ass on the court. Nobody is out here trying to hurt folks over a dunk. Maybe you and your frail ego might (More to come on your frail ass ego having ninjas too on the blog. Look out for it..) He didn't get 'dunked on'. That isn't the way the World is telling it though. smh. Enjoy the video.




In case you are 'confused' about what 'getting dunked on is'...









I won't even pull Mike out for you unless you are hard headed..

playing pickup ball with 'em...


This is great. Now for all of you people out there who think that these kids are 'stuck up', spoiled babies, whatever lil thing you have for them...Yeah... Granted they are doing something they love to do BUT they don't have to come out there and risk their scholarships to do it. If you watch the video, they tell you that they have BEEN DOING IT. Minus the camera. Great to see. Interaction with their fellow students and they sound like they are enjoying that college life. I can dig it. Not mad at 'em.

Marion Jones back on the hardwood? Aight now..


Good for her. Many chances as some of you have gotten, you ought to be applauding her too. @ her past troubles.

Link:

TULSA, Okla. -- Former sprinter Marion Jones has signed on to play with the WNBA's Tulsa Shock, hoping to launch a new career after losing five Olympic medals for using steroids and doing jail time for lying to federal prosecutors.

Jones was a star at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney but admitted two years ago that she had taken a designer steroid known as the "clear." She was stripped of her medals, including three golds.

She also spent about six months in a Texas federal prison for lying about doping and her role in a check-fraud scam.

"She made some ill-advised decisions in the past, but everyone deserves a second chance to excel at something they love," Shock president Steve Swetoha said Wednesday. "The city of Tulsa gave a struggling franchise from Detroit a second chance, and I'm confident it will do the same for Marion. We couldn't be happier to have her on board."

Before Jones became known as the world's fastest woman, she was the starting point guard on North Carolina's national championship team in 1994. She was drafted by Phoenix in 2003 but never played in the WNBA.

The 34-year-old Jones was introduced Wednesday at a news conference in Tulsa, four days after working out for Shock coach and general manager Nolan Richardson.

Richardson, who led Arkansas to the NCAA men's championship title the same year Jones won the title at North Carolina, plans to play the same "40 Minutes of Hell" style in the WNBA.

"Watching her go through drills, I saw a player who's perfect for our system," Richardson said. "The one thing I do know is she can run, and any player on my team who wants to be successful needs be able to run."

Fios!! Fios! Hurry up Verizon and STOP PUTTING

IT IN MY DAMM NEIGHBORHOOD. You are messing with my Internet connection dammit. On top of that, I am hearing that it is all hype. All of this trouble, it better be worth it dammit.

Because of this, I have been unable to log on consistently. Which is making this suffer a bit but there is NO SHORTAGE OF TOPICS FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT TODAY!

Let start with the death of two ICONS.

R.I.P to Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac. I am at such a loss for words that all I know to do is post of some of their work and let it speak for itself.

I am an ordinary person with an extraordinary guy- Bernie Mac

If you are at work, TURN YOUR SPEAKERS DOWN. NSFW



The guy that made having a bald head cool for a black man and had more talent in his pinky than most cats had in their whole head



You KNOW I AM GOING TO SEE 'SOUL MEN now. @ the movie that they are both in.

Well, well, Brett's arm is a little tired. Nobody is surprised by this as MOST QB'S arms are tired at this point and their reps are limited. Wake up out there in Jet land. Your QB is pushing 40. You can't have him out there throwing a 100 times a day yet. Ease him in. The lap thing is funny though and it is good to see him being 'one of the guys'.

Don't look now, but our men's basketball team is starting to look like a team! We still have superstars but they now accept their roles. Imagine that? And we are a lil bit bigger too at the guard spot so that helps. I swore I wasn't going to write about them until we started avenging some losses. Since we beat Greece, here I go!! We still can't hit that International Three 'cause it is a arm shot, not a leg shot but we are imposing our will. The defense is MUCH BETTER. We are turning people over at a high rate. If we can keep that up, we will win the Gold. Mr. Wade is showing his ENTIRE A## right now. He is playing like he did when they beat Dallas in the Finals. He looks healthy. Chris Bosh balled out yesterday too and I have no idea what has gotten into Lebron. He is punching shots like he is center out there. They look great.


Here is a recap of us against Greece. I love how a couple of years ago they kept saying they had 'not one professional player' knowing damm well that at least 8 of them play for top teams in Europe. Funny.



Here is a recap of us against China (Team Yao!)

Speaking of the team and Lebron...(Not 'exactly' safe for work either but eh....) I mean she isn't the 'phattest' thing I or him have ever seen but I can't be mad at him. She at least looks like she eats..


Songs of the week: All by my favorite artists. Go figure.

Universal Mind Control- Common ft. Pharrell



I Put On (Remix) ft. Jay-Z



Jockin' Jay-Z- Jay-Z produced by Kanye West


Wish You Would- Ludacris ft. T.I. ('Bout damm time they stopped all that silliness @ the beef)


Oh yeah and Madden came out. I have to say that I impressed by the fluidity of the game but the exclusion of the 'Vision Cone' as a default setting is silly. True, there is no light shining out of a person's head on the football but I can also look at the QB's head for movement to see what direction he is looking in too. Something that does not happen on this game. Oh well, the League that I help run is still using the 'Cone' 'cause if not, the games would be on the Arena Football level for real. 105-77 or some mess.
