From Basketbawful.com
So over the weekend (I think), the Chicago Bulls presented Hall of Famer and six-time NBA champion Scottie Pippen with his own bronze bust to commemorate all his contributions to the Windy City proud basketball heritage. He deserves it, no doubt. But he may not be too happy with how the well-intentioned tribute turned out...
and from Basketbawful reader D. Highmore:
Now, I've found myself during many alcohol induced videoke performances belching out this song, partly because people who know won;t expect me to sing something like this, and partly because of the Incubus cover, whatever. But I never knew the music video was this hilarious. And just for emphasis ...LMAO!
The sound you're about to hear might be clitoris related...
I'll get straight to the point.
So yes, for the days leading up to that date, the Younghusband brothers (mercifully) won't be the object and root of girls' (and prime time news outfits') wet panties across Manila. It'll probably be dedicated to their new album much like the show back in '04 and unlike the one in '08 (which I tragically missed) that promoted their greatest hits double CD. But with a band that sounds better than your best illegal download on your Beats headphones live, it matters not. Here's a taste...
So man-crushes and illegally sexy lines aside, I've been dying for another taste of a live Incubus experience for a while now. Probably not as bad as a 311 live gig, but I digress. I know I've posted this before, but lemme' do so again.
So there you go. Yet more proof that if you want something bad enough, the universe, (and not necessarily hard work as those successful, lucky sons of bitches would have you believe) will make it happen.
My Bad...
Allow me to formally extend my apologies to Mr. Derrick Rose. You, Sir, have proven me wrong. Waaay wrong.
I recall being asked by non-hoops junkie friends what the hype about John Wall was about. While, I only saw a handful of mixes on YouTube and a couple of games he played for Kentucky, I hastily quipped that he's (just) similar to a Derrick Rose with a little better jump shot. And while it remains to be seen what's gonna' happen with the rest of Wall's career, let's just say he has a ways to go to be mentioned in the same breath as Rose. D-Rose has just been ridiculously nasty and craazy good this year. I mean, I was blown away with the grit he displayed as a rookie when he gave Boston all they could handle in that classic of a playoff series. And I've always tipped my hat to the way he was able to make the Bulls remain relevant even with all the management problems they were having, plus the fact that they had Vinny Del Negro calling the shots. But this kid has just blown up like no one foresaw.
Or maybe they just didn't see this vid yet...

Crazy hops. We all knew that. And if we didn't, this year's highlight reel alone should suffice. Body control, that's always been his calling card along with lightning quickness. But notice how his shot looks so much different now than it did back then. Now, I'm not really privy to his work ethic, but there's only one way to improve your jump shot. And that's through endless hours of working on it, even when you should be chillin' like the superstar athlete millionaire that you are. Also, notice how he levels down the amount of nastiness on occasion just to be nice, and then turns it up to another atmosphere upon whim.
Back when Lebronapalooza was in full swing back in the ridiculously frenzied state of sports media during the summer free agency period, a story came up about how D-Rose did not want to have any part of the LBJ recruiting. I mean, that's what superstars do, in'it? Kobe even sent Raja Bell a text or even rang him or something. He did the same to Ron Artest and Matt Barnes. if you're the leader of the team and you want someone to play alongside you, you reach out to them. Specially in this age of increasingly chummy vibe among NBA players.It goes without saying that none of those guys have anything close to what LeBron has (well, except for a little piece of jewelry Artest won last June, but auctioned out for some reason). So why did Rose not want LeBron on HIS team? I really don't know. I can, however, speculate that he knew that their styles wouldn't match. He needs the ball in his hands to create for himself and for his team. James is the same(although with this bad habit of massaging the ball and dribbling in place for eternity before chucking up that ill-advised fade away, but I digress). I know Heat fans are saying they could have done a similar thing to what D-Wade & James does, but then again what they're doing didn't get them a single win against the Bulls this season, much less the top seed in the East. We probably will never get the real reason behind Rose's refusal to actively recruit James back then, but with the D-Rose explosion this year, it'll just be turned into a spin on why Rose is so great. So again, my apologies for not seeing this coming, Mr. Rose. Can't wait to see you at Staples this June.
(I would've ended this apology post with the best 2010-2011 D-Rose mix I could find, but the boss just came in. I'll see what I can come up with later, but for now feast your eyes on this beast.)

Gary Neal Needs To Be Told of The No Charge Zone
While the San Antonio Spurs were rampaging thru the regular season, a couple of things stood out to the casual NBA fan: How have the Spurs turned from a grind-it-out clinically precise team to the high scoring, three point shooting team (and) Who the fuck is Gary Neal??!? (often as the dude was hitting dagger threes against their favorite teams)
Quick background: He's an undrafted 6-4 chooting guard from Towson. For the season, he currently averages 9.6 points (in only 20 minutes of play) 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists. While the scoring-minutes ratio may be impressive for an undrafted fellow, the rest of the stats are pedestrian (for a back-up at least) at best. But in this new perimeter oriented Spurs system that relies on ball movement from the penetrations of Parker and Ginobili (as opposed to past years' inside-out play), his 40 percent shooting from three has been a huge part of what they do. That, and the fact that he hits them late in games with great regularity.
Fine. Nice success story for an underdog, yea? Sure. But someone has to tell this mofo that the restricted no charge zone semi-circle is there for a reason.
Evidence A:

So there you go...one of the more inspiring hoop dream stories of the season has officially been murdered twice.
and for that, I dedicate this to you...
and for that, I dedicate this to you...
WOW. Really?!?
I mean it's one thing if Lebron James' mom truly headed West. It's another thing to have some "Me, Myself & Irene" type of shit happen to you. Especially, if you're a back to back NBA MVP (the other one), who's had a history of dating super models, and by how it seems, has a cool enough personality. As you may have heard back in December, Steve Nash divorced his wife of six years. No big deal, right? But even as no one really gave much of a shit about it, it was curious to note that he filed for divorce the day after she gave birth...to a black baby. I didn't really hear any kind of rumbling about Steve Nash's wife having a black baby, until now.
As you can see, there is no way that South Africa born Canadian's ball sack could manage to impregnate that very white woman with a black kid. I don't care if it was a after an eat all you can buffet of soul food, a night of heavy Patron drinking while bumping to 'Hova and Pac. Alright, lame attempts at humor aside, here's the clincher...the internet's now abundant with reports that the baby daddy is former Phoenix Suns shooting guard Jason Richardson, who as life would have it, was traded to the Orlando Magic some time back in December...just around the time Mrs. Nash was about to give birth.
I'm sure with the many talents of Mr. Nash, he'll be fine, but JAZE..that must've sucked doggy balls to actually see a black kid coming out of your wife. But then again, rumors also have it that a Brittany Richardson (no relation to Jason) has been having an affair with Nashty anyways. So I guess, things are cool now...or not. Anyway, check out what Stevie's hittin'....

UPDATE!
We all know how crazy rumors can spin on the internet, Jackie Chan died, Charlie Sheen is sober, and Kim Kardashian's vagina is still tight as the Manila traffic. But terezowens.com reports that (as the photo above suggests) the kid is, indeed, white. That it was Nash who was putting in the extra late night shooting and not the other way around. But, like the source said, you can never be sure if its just a stand-in baby for the photo shoot. Ahh..the internet, whatever are we gonna' waste our time at without it??
I don't even know why this is here...
So...it's (the reality show) finally here. And I really don't know what to say. It hasn't even generated enough emotion to cause me to shake my head. I think I managed a brow curve during that minute, but that was it. I'm not even sure why this is worth posting. Aside from the fact that Lamar (save for the last two games) has been killing it with the E cameras shooting. So as a Laker fan, I couldn't give a shit less what he does off the court 'long as they #winning, and as long as he's balling as he has the whole season.
On a side note, Lamar's boy did have a good point, though about being around longer than a wife that just popped up a year ago...but whatever, like @gotemcoach said "not a good look, homie".

Karma Isn't Always A Bitch
I'm not quite sure where to start, but I just came across something that made me realize that some of the most beautiful things come from the most unusual of circumstances. So maybe I'll kick this off with the back story...
Click here to read the rest of the article.
I think that's pretty much self-explanatory, yea? So anyways, while all that partying was happening underground, this band was on its way to do a show, they heard about the "tragedy" and figured they'd reach out and try to help the best way they know how...

So yea...they got pot, porn & great music out of the whole ordeal. Not saying it was worth it, just saying something worthwhile came out of it anyway. Oh, and did you know 311 recently rocked out over there as well??
I think that's the universe's way of telling us all that if people are trapped under the earth, and you give them pot & porn, good things will come. Gotta' love karma...

Yep...Jacob Tucker is for real (...as a dunker at least)
A few weeks back (or a month), Dime magazine let the world in on a secret, and posted the video of one Jacob Tucker, 5'11", white, and called him the best dunker you've never heard of. The back story was that his friends had to make the video below just to get him in the NCAA Slam Dunk contest.
Apparently, their efforts worked and he got in. So what does he do to thank the viral world?
OK then. Look, that first dunk might be uhhh...a 47 in the NBA dunk contest if he was a 6'7 shooting guard. But the dude's not even six feet. So fuck yea...that was awesome. The second dunk, Blake Griffin himself couldn't pull off (he had to settle for a windmill of the side instead). And that last one was probably not stink-face, tug on your friends shoulder for a couple of minutes insane, but again, for someone who's not even six feet, that's a winner. So congratulations, caucasian race, you're not out of the (dunk) game just yet.
...and you wonder why conspiracy theorists exist

Wow. Four years later and it's here. There are tons of material on the internet about these kinds of stuff. But until it happens, you rarely take it too seriously. I don't know...if you got time, tell me what's up.

NICE.
In case it hasn’t dawned on you yet,
THE PLAY-OFFS ARE COMING.
At that point, although the Lakers were up big, there was a lot hinging on the outcome of the game. A Dallas win would’ve tied them with the Lakers for the 2nd seed in the West, and a victory by the home team would put them only 2.5 games back of the recently sputtering Spurs for the top seed, and home court advantage all the way to the WCF (possibly even the Finals).
And right from the start, you had the thick air of the play-off atmosphere at the Staples Center. Both teams went back and fort, playing like teams who would figure greatly on how the West would be decided. So when the Lakers eventually started to put the game out of reach, it was inevitable that things would get testy.
Things to remember from the video, though:
* DO NOT make Matt Barnes tell you to get off of him TWICE (as Mavs assistant coach Terry Stotts found out.)
* That incident where Barnes choked a coach at some summer league in California was NOT an aberration.

And, in a very non-Staples Center chain of events...this happened.
Now, regardless if you're a Lakers fan or not, this kind of energy should get you hard just thinking about the playoffs (that and maybe thinking of that Los Angeles woman).
Hi, my name is TJ and I've been sober for 5 days...
I’ve been on this job for nearly 15 months now, with a big part of the job browsing through anything and everything online that might eventually be an article to write. In the course of those 15 months, I’ve found that a good number of interesting reads often come from blogs. I don’t know why I’ve waited this long to start my own, but here it is. Hopefully, instead of staring blankly at my Facebook Newsfeeds or constantly checking on my Timeline, I’ll solicit a good laugh from site visitors instead.
Now, that I’m actually getting across to making this blog happen, I realize that I haven’t really got a concrete plan as to what this blog will be. I just know that all the shite I’ve been posting on my Facebook might as well be compiled somewhere. I mean, if I get a good laugh out of it, or if it’s a mind fuck of some sort that gets some neurons in you working, it might be worth the time you’re otherwise spending doing whatever it is you do when you’re slacking off to check the site.
By my estimation, there will be a ton of sports related posts, a little bit of music and other music related shite, and basically whatever it is that tickles my fancy (hopefully nothing too pornographic...or is that a bad thing?).
Yep...now what? Maybe a some welcome music?

A friend’s brother who’s in the business of bringing foreign acts here in Manila says there are plans to (finally!) bring 311 to our shores. While nothing’s not even close to being concrete, there are 3 311 shows scheduled for Japan in May. Now, I’m not sure how the areas slated for the shows are doing in the aftermath of that horrible cocktail of disasters, but I do know that in February of 2010 before hitting up Japan, the band did a show in Jakarta. I’m just praying to the heavens that we could be this year’s Indonesia. I don't know how much this link will help, but I did that too.
Ok. I suppose that's it for the kick-off post. Shift's almost done in a bit...later, mofos!
