Sports fans may want to check out the new group blog called SportsBlog. They are still looking for contributors and moderators for the forums. I hope they include coverage of extreme/action sports and SlamBall.

LeBron James to Represent Sprite And Powerade
Looks like LeBron may be taking Kobe’s Sprite spot. As I’ve said before, they sure can’t use ‘Obey Your Thirst’ with Kobe anymore.
SlamBall is the Sh*t!
I just saw SlamBall for the first time and I’m hooked. I can’t believe I slept on the entire first season though. I remember seeing promos for it and thinking ‘eh, so what if these guys can dunk using trampolines…’. Silly me. Here’s a description of the game: Take basketball. Then mix it with football,… Continue reading SlamBall is the Sh*t!
Kobe & O.J. Part Deux
I’ve often said that Aaron McGruder, the Boondocks’ creator, is in my head. This is why.
The Boondocks on the Kobe Bryant Scandal
You knew it was coming. 🙂 The ‘Kobe Beef’ crack was cheap… I’m disappointed in Aaron. lol
Noah’s (Basketball Shot) Arc
OK, I know I’m mad late on this, but what the hell, I just found it. I was catching up on my reading when I came across an invention to improve a person’s basketball shot.

Timberwolves Now the Favorite?
Just when it seemed that the Lakers were destined to take the NBA title next season, the Minnesota Timberwolves make some power moves. They’ve just signed Latrell Sprewell, Sam Cassell, and Michael Olowokandi. I was seriously impressed with Kevin Garnett last season, and the T-Wolves must be considered a serious title contender with these additions.… Continue reading Timberwolves Now the Favorite?
Jay-Z Signs LeBron James…
LeBron James to play on Jay-Z’s Rucker Park league basketball team. Now this is must see basketball! Sway: Now when you say you’re a part of the Roc — are you signed to Roc-A-Fella or are you just a Roc fan? Jay-Z: That’s extended family right there. James: And coming soon, you gon’ see me… Continue reading Jay-Z Signs LeBron James…
More on Kobe’s Street Cred
Here’s an excellent article about the nonsense of all the recent discussion of Kobe Bryant’s ‘street cred’ – Bryant doesn’t need criminal record to possess street credibility. I, like the author of that article, have issues with the use of the term ‘street cred’. Most of the reporters who are throwing that term around have… Continue reading More on Kobe’s Street Cred
Kobe & O.J.
I’ve just been reading some of the articles about Kobe Bryant being charged with sexual assault. I can’t help but be reminded of O.J. Simpson’s case. That’s partly because they both had squeaky clean images before their ‘incidents’. The racial components of the situations and the composition of their legal teams are other similarities. Here… Continue reading Kobe & O.J.
