This happened last night during the Cleveland Cavs’ 102-86 victory over the Miami Heat. I would taunt D. Wade on Twitter, but he’s on my fantasy team, plus he dropped his wife and now he’s fuxing Gabrielle Union (major upgrade). And he has more money than me and all my friends put together…but still, this ish was funny.
Oh yeah, Wade’s failed attempt at revenge is after the jump, if you wanna see that too.
To be honest, I had all intentions of watching my alma mater University of South Carolina take on the #1 ranked Kentucky Wildcats, but then my homegirl was in town from NY and since my schedule is looking kinda booked for the weekend, last night was the only time I’d have free to hang with her. And since I figured the Gamecocks would get their asses whipped (much like they do in most major sports when we face a ranked opponent), I pretty much kicked it with my big sis and forgot all about the Carolina vs. Kentucky game.
But around 11:05, as me and my homegirl were trying to figure out where the fux Don Cannon was, I got a text from my lady friend, telling me that Carolina was up 4 against Kentucky with 1:44 left (which I would encourage all men to find a shawty that watches sports, kick those non-sports-watching heffas to the curb and watch how much better your life gets).
So, I logged on to Twitter (you know, since it the #1 source for up to the minute news nowadays, and lo and behold, my timeline was going ham with all the Carolina/Kentucky tweets. Then, I logged on the ESPN.com and it was true, the Gamecocks were up on the Wildcats.
Seems like I was missing a classic, as Devan Downey was going stoopid on Kentucky, dropped 30 pts and lead the Gamecocks to a 68-62 win. Man, I know 5 Points in Columbia was rocking last night and I kinda sorta wish I was there. I mean, I haven’t felt this good to be a University of South Carolina graduate since…sh!t, probably the day I graduated college (hey, we don’t win a lot of ballgames in SC). Its days like this that I’m proud to be from South Carolina. Days like this…not so much. But it’s still SC all damn day. And go Gamecocks!
I’d like to congratulate the College of Charleston Cougars men’s basketball team for their 82-79 victory over the No. 9 ranked UNC Tarheels last night back at the hometown. You know, when I graduated high school, attending the College of Charleston never ever crossed my mind. I think I just wanted to get the hell up outta Charleston as fast as I could. But I’ve always had love for the hometown college.
When I was off at undergrad I used to come back home and attend hella parties their, and me and my boys used to get it in. To be real, Charleston doesn’t have a whole lot of local dimes (I’m just sayin’), but the College of Charleston brings them to the city. So, I used to always tell my peeps to hit up C of C and pull some chicks, because there are a lot of quality women at the school…but they’re just kinda scared to talk to Charleston dudes because they think the locals are crazy. (I mean, nuccas do be rapping songs about “shoot da f*ck up right now” so I don’t blame them). But I actually dated this one girl that went to C of C for like a year, and I’ve had a couple other chicks that went there too, so I’ve done my work at the College of Charleston. (Wait, I’m supposed to be talking basketball, right? Damn, why do I always end up talking about women?).
Anyways, last night was a good game. I haven’t really been following C of C b-ball, but they usually have a solid team for that weak conference they play in, but I don’t think they’ve beaten anyone good in a real long time. So, congrats for the big win last night. Enjoy it fellas.
The full story is here. A video recap is after the jump if you missed it.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, tonight is the start of the new NBA season, and since basketball is my favorite sport (although football is my favorite sporting season), nothing else really matters right now. And since I’m so big on basketball, I’m gonna declare this week as NBA Week on The Block, so that means a lot of my post (not all) will be NBA basketball related. My fantasy b-ball team is drafted and ready, and I will be home by the time the Celtics and Cavs tip off the season on TNT at 7:30.
I don’t know about the rest of ya’ll but considering that the Lakers basically have the same team from last year, plus they added Ron Artest, I don’t see anyone fuxing with them, and I’m predicting them to be back to back NBA Champions. The only thing I can see keeping them from winning another championship is if Ron Artest goes crazy and starts another brawl. Or if Kobe gets caught up trying to go backdoor on another unsuspecting white girl. And they might wanna check to see if Lamar Odom is mentality stable for marrying that Kardashian girl (I mean, if it was Kim, I could understand, but he married the busted one. But I digress). Notwithstanding, those off the court issues shouldn’t stop the Lake Show, and I don’t see any team in the NBA fuxing with Kobe & Co. That’s why I’m picking them to win the title once again.
Coming out of the East, I do like the LeBron James and Shaq to lead Cleveland to the NBA Finals, over the new Magic, but I still don’t see either one of those teams hanging with Kobe’s crew.
Anyways, I could sit here and talk basketball all day. I got this one girl that wants me to go to the movies and see Paranormal Activity with her. But I told her the World Series is about to start up, football is in midseason, and the NBA season begins tonight, so I’m not sure if the movies could fit into my schedule. She wasn’t too pleased about that, but she’ll be aight. It’s basketball season, baby. Nothing else really matters.
Congratulations to the LA Lakers, who just won the 2009-2010 NBA title, making them back to back NBA champs. I know what you’re thinking, the NBA season hasn’t even started yet…hell, the season just ended. Well, this is true. But the NBA offseason is underway and every year it’s like watching a movie (well, to me at least). The NBA Draft was the other night, but I didn’t get to give a full recap like I did last year. And the NBA free agency signing period just began, and anyone that knows anything about sports should that 1) This is when all hell breaks loose in the NBA. 2) It’s more exciting than the entire Major League Baseball season.
So far Vince Carter went to the Orlando Magic, Richard Jefferson joined the San Antonio Spurs and Shaq is a fuxing ring whore Cleveland Cavalier. And not only that, Allen Iverson might end up in Chicago or Memphis, Jason Kidd got and offer from the NY Knicks, and Rasheed Wallace is getting courted by the Boston Celtics (I know people that don’t watch sports have no idea what I’m talking about right now). But the most important signing thus far is Ron Artest joining the LA Lakers. It’s like the rich get richer. Hell, the Lakers just won a championship, and now you add Artest to Paul Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and of course, Kobe Byrant. Yeah, I know Ron Artest is known to go Queensbridge on a nucca, but that’s in the past. He’s not as 7:30 as he once was. And with that said, once again, congrats to the Lakers for winning another ring last night. Yeah, you never know what might happen, and my predictions are premature, but fux that. Them nuccas are gonna win again (and I’m not even a Lakers fan). Watch.
Don’t sleep, this dude went on national TV and said the word, “hoodalize.” SMH. It’s gonna be another good NBA season.
Congratulations to Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson and the Los Angeles Lakers for winning the franchise’s 15th NBA title (Kobe’s fourth and Phil’s 10th, most of any head coach in NBA history), in a 99-86 Game 5 victory over the Orlando Magic. That series was over before it started. Congrats, Kobe. Let the Laker hate commence.
