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.
Well, I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, as you can see R.E. has been on Xmas vacay, and I haven’t updated The Block much at all lately. But since I’ve pretty much punting it (“punting” that’s the new one, you know, like “kicking it”), I decided to post on The Block for a few hours and try to get things back up to speed over here. I’ve been on my CharlestonColumbiaCharlotte ish, you know hanging with fam, friends, girlfriend(s), your girlfriend (ya’ll know how I do by now) in the Carolinas. I will say that Xmas was cool this year. Partying & bullsh!t is always fun. Plus I saw Avatar in 3D, so I think I’ll write a review for that in a minute.
For those of you that watched the Lakers vs. Cavs last night, I’m sure ya’ll saw the Nike puppet “Dunking On Reindeer” commercial with Kobe, Lebron and Santa. Maaaaaan, that ish was so funny, I about chocked on some eggnog. If you missed it, luckily everything is on youtube, so I posted it above. That’s one of the best commercials I’ve seen in awhile.
Anyways, I’m about to drop about 10-12 posts, so I feel free to spend your post-Christmas Saturday right here on The Block with me.
“Dunking on that reindeer, dunking on that reindeer, dunk, dunk, dunk, dunking on that reindeer.”
Session featuring PackFM, produced by Kno. NBA Week on The Block continues…
Spotted at Nah Right.
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.
This is the best commercial I saw during the NBA Finals. Get your bars up, OJ. Lil Dez is coming.
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.
Although I wanted to see Kobe vs. LeBron in the NBA Finals, the Kobe Bryant/Lakers vs. Dwight Howard/Magic series should still be a good one. Game 1 of the 2009 NBA Finals is tonight at 9 pm, but I shouldn’t have to remind my real hoops fans. I know the Magic are 2-0 versus the Lakers in the regular season, but the regular season means nothing come playoff time, just ask LeBron. So, with that, I’m going to have to predict the Lakers will win the NBA championship in 6 games, Kobe will finally win a championship without Shaq, and you can expect a lot of this during the finals.
I wonder, if Kobe wins the title, will he diss Shaq in a freestyle? I think he should drop a “Shaq, Tell Me How My Ass Tastes” remix (ya’ll remember the “Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes freestyle, right?). Yeah, Kobe, I think you should get your rhymebook ready, and just drop 16 on Shaq after you win the trophy.
Well, even if Kobe doesn’t grab the mic, Jay Rock (who’s an up-and-coming rapper from LA) put out a Lakers song yesterday, and not to be outdone, my homie Wes Fif sent me a song to represent his hometown Orlando Magic:
Jay Rock – “L.A. Show (Lakers Anthem)”
Wes Fif – “Blue and White Ignite”
Both of those songs are cool, but sorry Fif, I’m gonna have to pick the Lakers in 6.
NBA Finals start tonight at 9 pm.
