I won't be watching the game tonite.

This series means everything to me.

I know this might sound strange, but whenever I watch my teams play, all the bad things in my life, everything that's going wrong, is embodied in the other team. So when I root for my team, I'm not just rooting for them, but for me and for my life to get better. I get very personally wrapped up in this stuff. Sue me.

So whenever my team's down, and I see someone like Kobe on the TV, it's kind of life seeing Superman getting his ass beat. And if he can't stop Doomsday, then who can?

And now a revelation comes out today (ESPN) that 2 refs allegedly conspired to fix playoff series. No shock. Helpless is how you feel. This series has been officiated awfully. God awfully. In all honesty I am extremely turned off by the NBA, but it's not like I've got a lot of other choices. At the end of the day, the Black Sox are rolling in their graves.

In an attempt to save my TV and not break more shit, I won't watch tonight, or probably game 4 either.

The Lakers are going to the Championship!!! I'm on the verge of tears!!!

Can't type. Discombobulated. Kobe = GOAT.

100th post = did you see Kobe last night?

Now, I'm not one to gloat, nor would I say that only a certain ilk root for that team in San Antonio, but Kobe is officially the shit. After vacationing in the Bermuda during the first half, in which he had 2 points from a total of 3 shots, the ghosts arrived and lit a fire up his ass. The Lakers summoned the spirits to come back from a 20, yes, twenty, point deficit in the 3rd quarter and win the game.

San Antonio was going to let Kobe have his shots. According to their strategy, they were going to let him score his 35 points and still win by playing their god-awfully slow game. But Mr. 1 Better Than Jordan (24) himself recognized this and refused to play in accordance with their game plan. Then, like going full force ahead and then flanking from both sides, a favorite move of General Patton himself, Bryant went off and that team from Central Texas got knocked off their heels and onto their asses. They never saw it coming.

Say what you will, but so will I. You can't stop what's coming.

Lakers in '08.

lay it up...

...and finish.

Here, we see Barack Obama accomplishing something LeBrick James couldn't which is actually execute a lay-up. Fundamentals people, fundamentals.

Now, who can't wait to have this guy in the Oval Office? Come on, rockin' some retro Jordan 4's, playin pick up games with Vice President Edwards (or Jay-Z), telling Secret Service to "Shut the fuck up tie them laces." Why can't wars be settled in a game of 21?

And with their first round pick, the Los Angeles Lakers select...the motherfuckin president, bitches.

it's a celebration bitches!!!

Kobe Bean Bryant has officially been named MVP, and holy shit I think every internal organ in my body has exploded!!!

I've been sitting on this for a while but decided not to blog about it until it was official official. I'll never forget where I was when I heard the news: me and my brothers were just getting in the car after the Kanye concert (which was balls to the wall the shit, N*E*R*D blew the fuckin doors off that thing) and my brother returned a missed call from my mom and she told us. Pure euphoria. I'll never forget the phosphorescent glow that emitted from my shiny little heart.

The Lakers are holding a press conference tomorrow, and he's getting the award before the game Wednesday. It's been over a decade and now my dream has come true. The GOAT!!!!

how the West was won - LA Times aricle on the Lakers.

The LA Times has a really cool photo slideshow/article profiling the Lakers. Bow in the presence of Lake-ness.

Dwayne Wade is dating Star Jones?!?!

Holy shit, this dude just can't stop takin L's can he? According to new reports, D-Wade, AKA the new Penny Hardaway (and not in a good way, that dude used to have ill ass commercials back in the day too, til of course he fell the fuck off), is running faster down that slippery slope and dating It That is Known as Star. Wonder if he had to bump Chuck out of his top 5.

A dude has one good year and everyone wants to crown his ass. Then, of course, they crack under the pressure of being compared to Kobe and quit after their team earns the shittiest record in the league (while playing in the JV East by the way). That's what separates the men from the boys I guess. From The Flash to The Flash in the Pan.

Enjoy the abyss and tell Damon Stoudamire I said what's up.

hank on joba: "only and idioit wouldn't start him"

According to The NY Times, Hank Steinbrenner can't keep his mouth shut, and that's awesome. He says that he and Joba both want the 22 year old in the starting rotation. Hank and the Evil Empire are shitting over the 10-10 start, and now that A-Rod's hurt, we're fucked. I totally support the idea of no more dicking around and making Joba a starter, but then what does that do to our middle relief? Only time will tell this sordid saga!
