NBA Draft Preview

So the draft is among us and what better way to predict how good this draft class is going to be than to go only by these pictures they had to take.

Jabari Parker

I can tell that Parker finds time for business and pleasure. He's in a full suit and he's dribbling a basketball, the perfect balance of work and play. I'll bet you a million dollars that he'll go to a party during his NBA career but not until he wins a championship ring. Parker has his priorities straight.

Andrew Wiggins

I can already tell this guy is in to win and only win. The photographer told Wiggins look natural and Wiggins naturally hit the power stance. This guy was born to play basketball. His shirt is untucked because who plays basketball with their shirt tucked in, no one. Oh and you think he naturally held the ball to show the Spalding logo, of course he did.

Dante Exum

Dante Exum? Oh yea, he's that Australian guy. Looks like he's got good passing form so he'll be a solid guard for whoever drafts him. I still have no idea who he is. Hey, I bet you that I can google videos of his highlights faster than you can.

Doug McDermott

Wow he's white. I know he went to Creighton but come on. Anyways, McBuckets won't give your coach any problems. Clearly the rules of this photo shoot was to sit on the stool and smile while holding a basketball. Out of all the draft prospects, McBuckets was the only one who listened. He's the safest pick in this years draft.

Kirko Bangz can ball

This is the same guy who has that one song that sounds cool. You don't know what song I'm talking about, here you go.


I always wondered what one hit wonders did after making their one hit. If you're Soulja Boy you continue making garbage songs. But if you're Kirko Bangz you play in celebrity basketball games and get buckets.

Ladies and Gentleman, Tiger Woods is back

After going through some back surgery, Tiger will make is return to golf for the millionth time next week at his own tournament the Quicken Loans National. That's probably one of the biggest power moves I've ever seen, with the whole golf world wondering when he'll come back to golf he makes his return at his own golf tournament. Not only does Tiger play golf, he runs golf. Let's face it, golf is boring without Tiger Woods, tv ratings has been at record lows since Tiger stopped playing to recover from his back injury. I hate to say this but golf needs black people in it. I'm pumped that I can watch golf and not be bored anymore.

Yea, I'm pretty pumped.

USA defeats Ghana 2-1

Am I surprised? No. Am I excited? Yes. Dempsey scored in the first 30 secs and Brooks made the game winner in the final 5 mins, that's so America.

Bring on Portugal, please and thank you.

USA wins the Curtis Cup

Last week America showed their dominance over the world in sports again by winning the Curtis Cup. For those who don't know the Curtis Cup is an women's international amateur golf competition that's played every two years between a USA team and Great Britain/Ireland team. These are the best female amateurs in the world going up against each other. Another impressive thing is that Mariah Stackhouse was the first black golfer to make the team in the events history. Right now she's playing college golf at Stanford which means she's REALLY good. S/O to all the black female golfers.

P.S. Mariah Stackhouse is from Riverdale, Ga which is where Waka Flocka is from and a little south of College Park where I'm from. We both competed in the Atlanta Junior Golf Association.

P.P.S. In 2007, I made the All-AJGA Team in my division while she won Player of the Year in the women's division. I had no idea she would end up playing for Stanford and representing America in the Curtis Cup and she probably has no idea that I'm blogging about this. Small world.

Kate Upton: A true activist

I just heard that Los Angeles Country Club doesn't allow women to golf until noon.That is the most insulting news I've heard! It's 2014
— Kate Upton (@KateUpton) June 4, 2014

In the world of social media activists, Kate Upton is another person to take a stand via twitter. So apparently the LA Country Club doesn't let women play on their course until noon. If this is true it's pretty bad but if it's not then it just makes things kinda awkward.

.@KateUpton Hey Kate, I'm a LACC woman member and can play any time, any day of the week. You got bad info. Let's play sometime!
— Noel Lucky (@noelluckygolf) June 4, 2014

Well that was awkward.

I'm glad Kate Upton is into golf though, there's a fun fact for anyone who needs one.

Cheyenne Woods qualifies for the US Women's Open

Guess who's headed to Pinehurst!! #USWomensOpen pic.twitter.com/teWUcX0oIv
— Cheyenne Woods (@Cheyenne_Woods) May 29, 2014

s/o to Ms. Woods for continuing to do her thing out on the LPGA. Tiger's niece is an underrated golfer, she had a really good college career at Wake Forest and her professional career is still full of potential. The last time she was in the US Women's Open she missed the cut, so this time she's going to win the whole thing. I'm so calling it.

Now that I got cable, I might have to watch the US Women's Open this year.

Jordan Spieth still looking for that 2nd PGA Tour win

So the Memorial Tournament aka one of the tournaments Tiger wins every year, is this week and Jordan Spieth is still trying to win this year. He should've won the Masters, which I'm still salty about and he could've won the Players Championship but he didn't. This guy needs to find his clutch gene so he can close out with a victory asap. He dropped out of school to go pro and he's ranked 10th in the world right now. He better win this week.

Course here at Muirfield is incredibly pure. Very difficult rough and wicked fast greens.. Just how we like it! Off at 1 tomorrow

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or nah, but I like the confidence Jordan.

My $15 dream team is better than yours

Ok so after calculating all possible combos I found the best one by far: Isiah Thomas, Michael Jordan, Julius Irving, Dirk Nowitzki, and Shaquille O'Neal. I will accept any objections to this but let me remind you, this is probably the best $15 dream team on the face of the earth.

Look at this, I got Thomas running the point which is a genius move on my part. This guy scored 25 of his 43 points in the 3th quarter on a broken ankle during Game 6 of the '88 Finals. He is the definition of putting the team on your back.

At the 2 spot I picked up MJ because he's MJ, next.

At the small forward spot I got Julius Irving aka Dr. J. They didn't call him The Doctor for nothing. He can straight up ball. 

Dr. J was a legend on the streets before becoming a legend on the hard court. There's at least 5 million people there watching him play basketball in this picture, that should prove my point that he's a great player.

Now at the 4 I have Dirk for a couple reasons. 1) He's German and 2) his killer fadeaway jumper that goes in 100% of the time.

And playing the center position I have Shaq. This is such a steal, being only $2 it was a no brainer. How can you lose with a genie on your team, you can't, because he's a genie.

Side Note: This team is just one example showing I'd make a great GM in the near future.

This is guy is a real champion

This guy won by a margin of infinity. I've never seen a guy win more than this guy right here. Let's just start at the beginning, first of all he's got the best seat in the house. Secondly, he's wearing a vintage Hartford Whalers hockey t-shirt to a baseball game, huge power move right there. Third, he's enjoying some delicious baseball popcorn. Oh yea he caught a foul ball, but it clearly wasn't a big deal to him at all.

Mike Tyson just living life

At Preakness. Thanks @UnderArmour. Had awesome time. Can you spot #tombrady in pic... #Baltimore pic.twitter.com/rrM2WLTO8v

Now spot @TTUKingsbury ... pic.twitter.com/tGUeh1P1jo
— Mike Tyson (@MikeTyson) May 17, 2014

This is just Mike Tyson doing Mike Tyson things. Here he is on twitter making us play his version of Where's Waldo. He's over here acting like it's normal to hang out with Patriots QB, Tom Brady and Texas Tech head coach, Kliff Kingsbury, not to mention he's at the Preakness watching horses run around in a circle. This makes me want to go to a horse race, just so I can kick it with the rich and famous. Then I can play some celebrity Where's Waldo on twitter just like Mike Tyson.

P.S. Kliff Kingsbury is being followed by some of the blackest things on twitter, Michael Smith and worldstar. Just thought you should know.

Tiger doesn't let his kids beat him

"We have a lot of putting contests. I can't bend down to pick up the ball out of the hole, so we sand-filled all the holes so you can still putt to a hole. He's getting pretty good and is starting to understand speed and break. That's not something that is easy to pick up. I have my greens running about 13 on the Stimpmeter every day, so your feel has to be a little better. If Sam and Charlie beat me, they're going to earn it. That's how Pop was with me, and I think that's how it should be."

This is classic Tiger. When asked about whether he lets his son beat him in putting contest the answer is no. Plain and simple. The greens they're putting on are a 13 on the Stimpmeter! That's what I like to call a fast green. That's like putting on an ice rink. That's faster than the speed of light basically. If you were to putt on that green and turn on a light switch, the ball would roll in the hole before the light turned on. Oh, and let me remind you that these kids aren't even 10 yet. That's what happens when you're dad is the best golfer in the history of the game I guess.

Pacers even it up 3-3

I'm not going to lie, I honestly thought the Hawks were going to clinch it at home. I guess I was wrong and now they have to win Game 7 in Indiana to move on the next round to face the Wizards. I'm not nervous at all.


P.S. I'm liking Mike Scott more and more as these playoffs go on.

Breaking News: Frankie Muniz is buying the Clippers according to himself

I am buying the Los Angeles Clippers.
— Frankie Muniz (@frankiemuniz) April 29, 2014

You saw it here first ladies and gentleman. Move over Oprah, step aside P Diddy, back off everyone else who wants to buy the Clippers because Frankie called dibs. Apparently Frankie is a big Clippers fan so this is almost a perfect marriage. So the world can relax now because I found the Clippers new owner.

NBA team owner is such a good resume builder. He's already got Malcom in the Middle and the Cody Banks movies, being a team owner would put him up there with the greats.

Hawks win and take the lead 3-2

Just one more game Atlanta, just get one more and you made it out of the 1st round. Do you see that 41 point 2nd quarter, that's true hard work and determination. Everyone was getting buckets last night, I mean everyone. Shelvin Mack went off for 20 and Mike Scott was dripping wet from 3-point range.

That wink he had after his 4th 3-pointer, true player status right there.

Steph Curry's mom: Warriors #1 fan

I want to go a basketball game with Steph Curry's mom, because she looks like she knows basketball. In this dream scenario me and Steph are homies and that's how I get to sit with the fam during the games. I would get the hook up on free tickets then I would place myself right in between the mom and Steph's wife. I would sit there and enjoy the game, maybe give out a few high fives after a big play, you know the usual sports stuff. Then I would be invited to go to the celebration dinner after the games because I'm a close family friend of the Currys.

I need to move to the Bay Area asap.

Jeremy Lin with the best travel in the NBA

Jeremy Lin, killing the traveling the game right now. This is by far the best uncalled travel in NBA to date. I'm pretty sure James Naismith rolled over in his grave after seeing that. This might be the first time I've laughed and cringed at the same time. I'm amazed that he didn't just kept running until he got to the locker room.

Pacers even up the series 2-2

Great, just when I was getting a little optimistic this happens. This is going to be a tough series but I haven't lost hope. Always believe. I had a good feeling about this before the series started and a still have a good feeling about this now. I'm just a little sad but it's ok. The Hawks will return, they will return with a vengeance.

Daniel Alves combats racism

So FIFA as been battling racism in the league for a long time now. There have been numerous times where the spectators have chanted racist remarks at players or done things like throw bananas at players on the field. Today Barcelona defender, Daniel Alves, responds to the racist crowd by eating the bananas that they threw at him. What better way to fight racism than to eat it and carry on with life. What a bro move, I got to give him props for that. Bravo.

Clippers owner Donald Sterling's racist comments

Wow, this guy must really hate his job. How can you own a basketball team and not like minorities, the NBA is full of minorities. Well, on a more serious note, racism still exists. I don't care who the president is or how far away we're removed from the Civil War. People are still going to be treated different because of the color of their skin. Even though there as been a lot a progress in this country, there is still work to be done. This story has definitely reminded a lot of Americans that racism is still out there. I feel bad for the Clippers players, they probably knew this all along and had to deal with this for the longest. It's a shame that this story is just coming out.



If Baron Davis was getting crap from Sterling, just imagine how Sterling was treating the other players.
