Dallas....Cavs?? Really Cleveland???

Aight Cavs fans, we understand you're a little bitter about Lebron but this is too much. Even though I'm still sick that my Bulls aren't in the Finals, this series will be over in no more than 6.

Sorry Dallas.

New NBA Jerseys for 2010-2011. Ehh...

Not sure how many people care about jerseys as much as I do but...um, I like jerseys. Not really to wear like I did back in middle school but I still think they're dope. I got the scoop on some of the new ones for the upcoming season from Trey over at BDL. But honestly, they're not even really that dope.

Cleveland Cavaliers

Alright, so they're starting off pretty bad. And not that they get much better, I can understand the Cavs wanting to get new jerseys. They adopted these jerseys at the beginning of the Lebron era back in 2003 and now that he's gone, it's time for a change. I get it...but they're just not tight. They might instantly become the league's most regular jerseys but whatever.

Utah Jazz
I mean, these aren't....so bad?? It's hard to say. They're not even the traditional Jazz colors. If you took the name off the jersey I might even say...Milwaukee Bucks?? But at least they're...different.

Los Angeles Clippers
These would probably be the worst of the new joints if it weren't for the Cavs' new ones. There's not even much different from last year's with the exception of the small ass font on the red ones. I would have expected more from these. Like a lot more. Look how sad Blake Griffin is haha

Golden State Warriors
When the Warriors announced their new court, I was pretty sure they would come out with new jerseys. What do you know, asamp was right. These aren't too bad considering they look like AAU jerseys. I don't know how you end up with these after having one of my favorite throwbacks in the NBA. IDK, it happens.

Minnesota Timberwolves
These might be the least terrible of the new jerseys. They might not seem too different from the ones that debuted just two years ago but at least they don't look like WNBA jerseys. Yea, those last ones were just turrible.

Man, I can't wait til the Bulls get some new joints. I'd even be hype for us to bring back the black with the pinstripe. I'll probably look like this:

So THIS Is Who the Cavs Got Murdered By Last Night???

Word, Lebron?? I got you guys winning this whole thing now that the Bulls are out but I'm gonna need more than 15 points on 3-14 shooting. You're the MVP and it's going to take an MVP-type performance to win in Game 6. You can believe that I'll be front row for this joint, popcorn in hand like:
Game 6 in Boston is tomorrow at 8:00 on TNT. Don't miss it.

It might be Lebron's last game as a Cav...

Bulls Earn Playoff Spot...Collision Course With King James

So we've done it. By winning our last three games the Bulls were able to secure the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Just imagine how elated I was to see this this morning. ↓↓

Seems harmless right?? Well not completely. We've just set a collision course for the best team in the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Well damn. But Bulls fans, don't let it get you down. We're 2-2 against the Cavs this year and Lebron only missed...one of them. However far-fetched it might seem, we DO have a chance against the Cavs. Otherwise, why would they play the games?!?! [Insert sarcastic answers here.] Check out the highlights from last night's game against the Charlotte Jordancats and pay close attention to what Brad Miller does at 1:21 or just click here hahaha

Let's do the impossible, Bulls.

At least be nice to Lebron so he considers Chicago for a home next season.
Please.

LebronChicago2010

BEER THAT MAN: Antawn Jamison

Wow, I didn't see this one coming. Pause but I'm talking about this dunk from Antawn Jamison. I really didn't expect this dunk from him and apparently neither was David West. Check it out:



I guess Lebron has rubbed off on Antawn.

Pause again.

Shit's Disgusting. Come on Bulls...Seriously.

I don't know what to say. Seriously, I'm at a loss for words. And that doesn't happen often. We started the week by losing to the "worst team in NBA history" then follow it up by getting DRUG by the Hawks in Atlanta. This makes no sense. We're the third most valuable team in the league and we're still performing like this. We've actually lost our last four games to the Cavs, Raptors, Nets and Hawks. It's embarrassing, really. So after this week of disappointments, I'm continuing my ongoing push to get Lebron to Chicago next year. Why go to the Knicks?? Don't go to sorry ass New Jersey. Come to the historic Chicago Bulls. I mean, either you or Chris Bosh. #kanyeshrug

Once again...this shit's not gonna cut it.
We play the Warriors tonight and I really can't take a 5^th straight loss.

Seriously.

Bulls Win.

...in Cleveland, 86-85.

We're 3-2. All the Real Gangstas say Yeaaaaa!!

Where Were We???

A lot has happened that I haven't really gotten the chance to blog about. Mostly because I felt the need to keep up my tribute to MJ up a little while longer than usual. Back to business: Where were we??

NBA Basketball:

• Shaq goes to Cavs, VC goes to Orlando.

This would have been bigger news had it been five years or so ago, but they're both still headliners. Shaq + _____ = Championships in damn near all cases [except Phoenix.] I'm pretty anxious to see if he can put his game together for a year so that Lebron can get his [first] ring in Cleveland... The Vince trade makes the Eastern Conference Champs instantly better, but remember, this isn't stuffmyarmintherim Vince Carter, this is damnniggamykneeshurtletmeshootthisjay Vince Carter. We'll see what happens.

• NBA Draft

I wasn't really feeling the Bulls' picks this year, but last year was the first time I have in awhile. A few of the winners: The Hawks managed to trade to get Jamal Crawford [who gets buckets] and also drafed Jeff Teague from Wake Forest. Damn. The Nuggets were able to get a solid backup for Chauncey by acquiring Ty Lawson and even the Spurs did their thing by trading for Richard Jefferson and stealing picking up DeJuan Blair in the second round.

Soccer:

• Ronaldo traded to Real Madrid

This one hurts. Not only was this my favorite player leaving my favorite team, but it lead to another great player departing. Manchester United just couldn't hold onto Ronaldo and Tevez after their disappointing loss to Barcelona in the Champions League Final. I'm torn because I don't know if I should follow Ronaldo to Madrid or if I should stick to ManU. I'm sure I'll still have some loyalties to ManU but I know for damn sure if Lebron left the Cavaliers I'd be like "Cleveland who???"

• Confederations Cup Final

The USA men's soccer team was coming off of one of the biggest upsets in soccer history and followed it up by blowing another huge upset. The US has a 2-0 halftime lead against a Brazil team that many feel is one of the best in the world, only to allow three second half goals to lose 2-3. Well damn. Americans went from this to this in a matter of 45 minutes. Smh.
But I don't want people to keep saying to me, "Why do you like soccer?? It's soooo boring." Check this goal from yesterday out:

Dope.


I'll be back with some new music and maybe even the one thing I enjoyed about the BET Awards. Oww.

Damn Lebron.

I'm still kind of pissed that Lebron and the boys got knocked out the other night. I really think that he was playing INSANE basketball and I was looking forward to a Kobe/Lebron finals but it's not gonna happen now. I don't know if it's worse that the Cavs didn't make it to the finals, or that the Kobe/Lebron Nike joints pretty much have to stop now. Damn. Fuck it though. Mamba for Finals MVP. But before I blog about Lebron for the last time this season, check out his best from the 09 playoffs.
[Note: Even though the Cavs got beat by the Magic, Lebron has said that his stauts with the Cavs hasn't changed. Not sure I believe him, but the Cavs better hope he's for real.]

And I don't wanna hear SHIT about beating Lebron and the Cavs from Orlando "fans." Or else you're gonna get Charles Hamilton'ed.

King James...That Is All

34, 14 and 12.

Lebron balled tonight but HOW else did you expect him to play in an possible season-ending game?? I'm glad that the Cavs were able to pull this one out and keep their championship hopes alive. More importantly, Lebron is really performing the big stage. Can't be mad at that.
Got niggas lookin like:
I'm also convinced that if that if the Cavs can win the 'ship this year, then Lebron will stay in Cleveland instead of heading to New York. Why build a team and win a Championship to move to another city and do it all again. But after all....it is just Cleveland.
But...at least it's not Detroit.

Aight. Kobe Handled His Business. It's Your Turn Lebron

Last night Kobe and the Lake Show got a very important win in Game 5 back in LA. The score was back-and-fourth all game but the Lakers edged the Nuggets late to get the W. I'm hoping that Lebron and the boys can make it happen tonight. It's actually funny because I was expecting the exact opposite: for the Lakers to struggle and the Cavs to blow out the Magic. I guess if we could predict em, they wouldn't play em. I just hope my Kobe/Lebron finals doesn't end TONIGHT.

And I'm not even mad that the fucking Candy Man Lamar Odom had a pretty good game even though I'm starting to really not like him. He even managed to serve up the Birdman. [nh]

And if you're wondering, yes I do still hate Nene.
And his plats.

Let's go Lebron.

This is REALLY Getting Annoying...

Again, even after a 44 point performance from King James, Dwight Howard and the Magic defeated the Cavaliers last night, and took a 3-1 series lead. This is really starting to piss me off. Mainly because I'm both a Kobe and Lebron fan [Yes, we exist] and I want to see them go head-to-head in the Finals. That really wasn't too far fetched about a month ago but now it's looking like it's going to take a miracle and a half just to get ONE of them into the Finals. The Magic just look unstoppable in the East and anytime you end up with Luke Walton guarding Chauncey Billups...no good sir. I'm just saying, let's stop the b.s. Kobe and Lebron. I need a W's from both of you so that I can at least salvage the rest of these finals and get what we all want. Because NObody wants to see Nuggets/Magic in the finals. Not even Stan Van Gundy aka the clown from Spawn.
Word son.
Come on Kobe and Lebron:

Just In Case You Thought It Was A Game...

...it's not.

Lebron shows us again why he's the MVP with 35 points and the game-winning three pointer at the buzzer. Fucking crazy.

I guess that my Kobe/Lebron Finals might work out after all.
It better.

This Has Gone On Far Too Long...

Wow. That's What you call a hiatus. I haven't been away from the blog for this long since I started it. And mad shit has happened:

• The Lakers held on in Game 1 against the Nuggets....but then lost in Game 2.

Despite big numbers from Kobe, the Lakers just didn't execute down the stretch in the second game. Derek Fisher was a horrible 1-for-9 from the field and 1-for-5 from three. Numbers like that will not cut it, especially when you're looking at Chauncey Billups on the defensive end.

And while I'm on the subject, where did all these Nuggets fans come from?? I mean, seriously. A lot of you came out of the woodworks but if you've been a fan since day one then:

But chances are, you haven't been.

• The Cavs somehow lost their first game of the entire playoffs to an underdog Magic team.

I'm still shocked by this one. Mainly because of how fucking beastly Lebron was playing. He did everything: scored, distributed, rebounded. Wtf Cavs?? I've said it already and I'll say it again: If the Magic or Nuggets mess up my Kobe/Lebron Finals...heads will roll.

• Jake Peavy had one foot in Chicago but ended up refusing the trade from the Padres to the White Sox. Oh yeah, then we suffer our worst loss in team history. Fuck. Not a good day for the Sox.

I'm still a little pissed about the Lakers and Cavs right now but at least I'm back. Music/Sports coming up.

Andyaknowdaaaaat.

Aight...ONE more Lebron video...

...and this is the best one yet.

Apparently there's a movie coming out about Lebron and his childhood teammates during their journey from grade school, to St. Vincent-St. Mary's to Lebron getting into the NBA. And it looks dope. The movie is called More Than a Game and it hits select cities in October. I'm just hoping that whatever city I'm in gets it, or I'll be making a road trip. Oww.


Should be dope.
[Note: And if you're not watching the Cavs/Pistons beatdown game tonight at 8, I have only one thing to say to you: this.

Speaking of Lebron...

After my boys Francis and Chris let me know that that Lebron commercial I posted was actually old as hell, I felt like I needed to redeem myself. So when Chris showed me the Cavs remaking the Heineken commercial with the walk-in closet full of beer. First off, the commercial is dope but the Cavs version is ill too. I'm a big Kobe fan but if Lebron was able to get the MVP and a championship this year, I would be very happy.

If my Bulls or the Lakers can't pull it off this year, I'm definitely goin for Lebron and the Cavs.

The 1975 Cleveland Cavaliers. Wavy.

Man, the Cavs have fun. If I played for any team in the NBA, it would have to be the Cavs. No playing time necessary.
Oww.

Word Lebron?? Word??

So apparently Lebron's "big" announcement for 1.18.09 isn't that he's decided to release a rap album. It's that he's going to play professional football...for fake. One commercial leads to another and it's just some dumb shit for State Farm. Low key, the commercial's not that bad. I guess I was just hoping for a real announcement. Whatever, it's TV.

[Note: Damn. Cavs and Lakers play on Monday @ 7. Not sure who I'll be rooting for, but it should be a good one. Owwwwww.]

Finally, the 100th Post...and the Bulls win. Oww.

It's been about eight months or so since I decided to start asamp was right and definitely didn't think I'd be keeping up with it like I have been. Oh well, it's been fun.
I would think that I'd have more to say but I'm gonna leave this post with a commercial that mad people saw this week.
[Note: Shouts to Matt and Aus for getting me to blog about it.]

Apparently, Kobe sells Ankle Insurance during the off-season...

Oh yeah, and the Bulls fucking handled the Cavs tonight in Chicago. Owwww!!
Hopefully when the playoffs roll around we'll look less like and more like

Ow.
