At the Lakers-Magic game on Sunday, that fool Ron Artest came out sporting a blonde hair cut and the word “Defense” in Hebrew, Japanese and Hindi (yes, all 3 languages) shaved into his head. Why? Who the fucks knows, that knee grow is wierd.

Either Ron came to his senses or he couldn’t handle the attention from his cut because the ‘do was very short-lived. Monday morning at the Lakers practice, he showed up with a baldie.

o_O

Heaven lend a helping hand…

Ok so during the second half of the Magic vs. Lakers game yesterday, Matt Barnes and Kobe were going at it. I’m talking shoving, elbows, everything. Matt Barnes then tried to get Kobe to flinch on an inbounds pass but Kobe was cold as ice. The knee grow wasn’t phased one bit. The whole thing made Matt look ridiculous and like 5 year old.

Orlando did however walk away with the W.

NBA player, Dwight Howard teamed up with Christian Audigier and now has 8 Ed Hardy t-shirts which are now available. But get this, buy 3 t-shirts and you get a free cap! Oh the joy!

Ok, I’m sorry but does anybody else think that Dwight Howard’s muscly ass looks ridiculous in these t-shirts? I’m all for hustlin so Dwight please, by all means go head and get that Ed Hardy paper but damn me no likey. It looks even worse on the website.

Lebron James will no longer wear the number 23 starting in the 2010-2011 season. He brought up the idea back in November saying that he wanted to let go of the number out of respect for his hero, Michael Jordan, but he officially filed the paperwork this week.

“I’ve done it,” James said. “I already sent it in. I’m going to be No. 6.” Number 6 is the what he wore in the Olympics and also signifies the day of the month his son was born.

The NBA is about to make some serious bank off of Lebron’s new jersey next season no matter what team he ends up playing for. Ching Ching!

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Sugar Shane Mosley kicked off the publicity tour for their May 1st fight yesterday in New York and things got off to an interesting start. Let’s just say that there was lots of pointing, shoving and clowning on each other’s outfits.

Be sure to follow @mayweathermania on Twitter for a chance to win tickets to the fight!

Who cares if it didn’t count. This dunk was sick.

Makes you wonder how the dunk contest was so fucking whack when there’s people in the league that can do this. smfh

HA! Some shit like this would pop up on Superbowl Sunday. Reggie Bush’s alleged side chick, Carmen Ortega has a video of her giving a tour of Reggie’s home along with her friend.  **shots fired** If that’s not disrespectful I don’t know what is. Kim, get ya man.

Carmen is the same chick who was rumored to have broken up Kim and Reggie a couple months ago even though they both denied it. I read on Twitter earlier this morning that there was a rumor that Reggie proposed to Kim…I wonder if this little video will change anything.

hahahaha, trife

LaLa Vasquez, Carmelo’s eternal fiancee, chatted with NecoleBitchie.com about a new reality show she has in the works. The show, “Love & Basketball” will attempt to find 3 NBA players love. Here’s what she had to say about it:

Georgia’s, Travis Leslie threw down on Kentucky’s DeMarcus Cousins.

Got damn. And he got the and 1. Kentucky may have walked away with the 76-68 W but DeMarcus lost like 7 bueno points. Go head, watch it again…I did.

Gets my vote for dunk 2010 and it’s only January.

ORIGINAL STORY

Nik Pace had her legal team release a statement saying that Braylon has lied his involvement with his son. Homeboy is not handling biz as he’s claimed and he hasn’t even signed the birth certificate yet….

“It is unfortunate that Mr. Braylon Edwards and his legal counsel have gone beyond the scope of addressing a very personal matter privately and professionally and have released false statements about Ms. Nik Pace to members of the media. It has been very upsetting for Ms. Pace to have to defend her character against the deliberately false allegations brought against her.

The fact of the matter is that Mr. Edwards and Ms. Pace shared an intimate relationship for over two years. Over this time the relationship involved meaningful times spent with friends and family and resulted in the birth of their son. Mr. Edwards’ recent actions do not speak to the positive image he has portrayed in recent media reports. Contrary to statements released by Mr. Edwards and his attorney on December 18, 2009, he has not acted in the best interest of his child. In reality, Mr. Edwards has barely acknowledged the birth of his son or his upbringing.

At no time was Mr. Edwards refused the right to attend the birth of his son. Ms. Pace encouraged him to do so. Additionally, Mr. Edwards has yet to sign his son’s birth certificate making it impossible for his son to have his last name, Edwards as Georgia law requires. It is also completely and unequivocally false that Ms. Pace has ever requested a specified settlement from Mr. Edwards in the amount of up to $70,000.00 per month. As it relates to Ms. Pace’s residency, she is a legal resident of the state of New York and has resided and worked as a professional model in the tri-state area since 2006. Reports that she resides in Georgia are false. Ms. Pace gave birth where she received family support, just as many women do.

In closing, Ms. Pace truly preferred for she and Mr. Edwards to come to an amicable agreement regarding the care of their child without the involvement of attorneys, but it is Mr. Edwards who opted otherwise by initiating a legal process. Ms. Pace has and will continue to limit the disclosure of personal and sensitive information in the best interest of her child and asks that the media takes into account the facts regarding the situation before drawing hurtful conclusions that further support the disingenuous statements. Ms. Pace’s only wish is that Mr. Edwards accepts the shared responsibility of raising their son and chooses to become the loving father his son deserves.”

I think it would do wonders if the NBA and NFL made it their personal business to make sure that their players had condoms with them at ALL times. Seriously, you’d think the damn things were kryptonite to them or something.

FULL STORY HERE

As if Gilbert’s life didn’t already suck enough, homie was suspended from the league without pay. Here’s what David Stern had to say:

“Although it is clear that the actions of Mr. Arenas will ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse, his ongoing conduct has led me to conclude that he is not currently fit to take the court in an NBA game. Accordingly, I am suspending Mr. Arenas indefinitely, without pay, effective immediately pending the completion of the investigation by the NBA.”

This means that with every game he misses, Gilbert forfeits $147,200. SMH, that’s a lot of guap!

RECAP: Yesterday, former NBA All-Star, Jayson Williams got arrested for DUI after he crashed into a tree and fractured his neck. He tried claiming to the police that he wasn’t the one driving.

KICKER: Someone nearby caught the whole thing on tape, including the part where Jayson switched seats with the passenger before the police arrived.

DUMBASS!!!! Jayson’s life is just a series of fuck ups. What will he say now? “Uh your honor, that video tape was digitally altered!” Cmon son, get your ish together.

You know the gun that Gilbert Arenas pulled on his teammate in the locker room? Yep, it’s unregistered. Now homeboy will definitely be facing gun charges and possible suspension from the league.

I know stress from knowing that Shaq was pounding wifey behind his back for all these years has got to be insurmountable but damn, you just don’t do dumb shit like this. Gilbert’s career = finished.

NY Jets widereceiver, Braylon Edwards was served with child support papers in the middle of a New Year’s Eve dinner he was celebrating with family and friends. POW! Way to bring in the 2010! Who’s to blame for such an aggressive act of war? Former ANTM star, NikPace. Nik gave birth to Braylon’s son, Braylon Jr. a couple months ago. Word has it that Braylon has even been sending Nic support checks every month but Nik has not cashed any of them and is waiting for a formal child support agreement.

Either Braylon is sending this chick $100 checks or he dissed the hell out of her and now he’s dealing with a woman scorned. When will these pro athelets learn that the best way to deal with a baby mama is to not get a baby mama at all. Damn son, strap up and be done with it.

Chris Henry’s fiancee says that she doesn’t believe that Chris was trying to end his life and they wasn’t driving fast and would have stopped if she could have.

LMFAO.

Ok, now that I’ve done that let me tell you why I’m laughing so hard. So NBA cornball extraordinaire, Ray Allen sent this tweet out a couple nights ago:

He then quickly followed it up with another tweet saying that his account was hacked.

Suuuuure Ray, we believe you. Both tweets were sent from Echofon, a mobile twitter application. I’m not saying that it’s impossible for a hacker to tap into a mobile application but it’s unlikely since hacking into the web account is so much easier.

I’m sure that Ray was trying to direct message a group-group (Mrs. Ray Allen is not on Twitter) and the shit went south and this is his lame attempt at covering it up.

Couple thangs, couple thangs. Um, Raymond if you were in fact trying to talk dirty to a shmeezy you fail miserably. Masturbate? Lol, nuff said.

And secondly, Ray’s wife is a baaaad bitch. SMH at all these cornball athletes and their infidelities.

Everybody and their momma is hype about the Pacquiao and Mayweather fight set for March 13, 2010 but folks may have to simmer down because the shit might not happen.

Yesterday, Mayweather’s camp demanded that both fighters be subjected to Olympic style blood drug test before the fight. However, Pacquiao’s camp says that there’s no way in hell that Pacquiao will get blood drawn too close to the day of the fight and that Mayweather is only making this request as an attempt to get out of the fight. POW!

All other aspects of the fight have been agreed upon and this is the only thing still in air. Mayweather’s camp seems very adamant that if Pacquiao does not agree to the test, there will absolutely be no fight.

Hmm, I wonder why Manny is so opposed to taking a blood test. I mean professional athletes do it all the time. Looks like the homie has something to hide.

The couple have two children with one on the way and Gilbert has asked for DNA test to determine if he’s really the daddy. Damn straight son! But why the hell is Gilbert moving out? Kick that ho to the curb. 5 years of cheating with Shaq?!?! Now that’s just straight disrespectful. smfh
