ALL STAR WEEKEND
so saturday night included one full of little elementary school type games for some skilled players. there were two that i was excited about--the skills challenge and of course, the slam dunk contest. D-Baby was involved in the skills one so Lord knows i was watching that. as close as possible, too. Other participants were Devin Harris, Mo Williams (John Legend) and TONY PARKER (trying to defend his title?). I mean, i like dev and mo but there was no way i wasn't going to cheer for derrick. okay, so apparently this little pug--i mean, tony parker, won last year or the year before. THIS DUDE TOOK FIFTY SECONDS TO FINISH. that's ridiculously slow. i mean, he attempted about twenty shots from the foul line. what an idiot. anyway, it ended up being between devin and derrick--D-Baby did every pass and shot on the first try and ended with an awesome dunk. i was lovin this dude, od...still am.
slam dunk--this was a little ridiculous. let me just say that i am most definitely a dwight howard fan and he should have won last year with that superman outfit--but really, a ten on the first dunk? that was too much. it was not too much, however, when the speakers made fun of pau gasol--thank God someone realized this dude sucks at things. but i do think that rudy deserved more credit then given, but nate did some crazy moves for such a little man.
but what i was looking forward to was the all-star game on sunday night. i was so incredibly pumped for the east roster--you really can't get too much better than that. Dwayde, Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Kev Garnett, Paul-boy, RayRay, Devin Harris, Mo Williams...you get the point. ALL THIS against the freakin west (sorry Brandon Roy and Carlton and Stoudamire because i like you guys). west included the worst starters on the planet: kobe, yao ming?, TIM DUNCAN??, shaq (lookin like a full out idiot dancing like that), tony parker. i mean, really, this sounds like there is no question that the east would KILL it. and, they started out doing just that, but ended up being the victims. like, they lost by way too many points to a full out crappy team.
even though they lost, dwayde did maaaad work as always, that guy is small, but powerful. dwight rebounded like a madman with extremely large shoulders, PAUL BOY was makin things happen! this guy was freakin gettin and-ones all over the place. love love that dude. and you know, lebron was pullin out some tricks and devin harris held his own, too. so like, good work fellas, i dont know how you lost.
some other things i noticed during the game: shaq is a loser and i can't stand him anymore. he doesn't realize that he looks like an idiot when he dances with the jabbawockeez, or when he looks like a straight up aladdin genie. you're no ones best friend, dude...not even kobe's anymore. speaking of kobe, he almost fell while trying to show off his dunk. and i wish he would have, good Lord. i also noticed that tony parker is a pug, and a slow guy, so i don't understand why he was making points during the game.
next year, east is going to win...i know it. im tryin to go to it, too...and sit next to derrick rose, cause you KNOW he's going to be making a big appearance there next time.

Pink Hankie
so yeah, this weekend was the all-star stuff. which is pretty fun, i haven't watched any of this stuff in a really long time. the last all-star game i actually saw was two years ago or something and i didn't know who anyone was anymore, but one of the sides was whopping the other side. anyway, i was pretty much really interested to see how this stuff would pan out.on saturday night they had some specials. there was this one event which featured a current team member, an old team member and a member of the WNBA version of the team. they had to make all of these different shots in a time span of two minutes, and one of them was a half-court heave. i was sort of going for the pheonix line-up because it featured Old But Nasty Dan Marjele. there were only four teams i think that were in on this, but it went to the detroit team featuring Bill Lambier! man, haven't thought about this guy in a while:
so old Lamb took care of that one. they also had a skills challenge happen, and Derrick Rose was involved, so i'll let Emily take the lead there.The 3-Point contest was aright. i wasn't too familiar with anyone in it. but i knew i didn't want the guy who had one two years in a row to win again. and he didn't, so that was good.
the slam dunk contest was what i was pretty interested in seeing. you know, it's flashy and classic. but for some reason, i was sort of under impressed with it all. in former years, they got really creative while they were in the air, like Dominique Wilkins, Cedric Ceballos, Vince Carter and of course Mike Jordan. but now it's just like, who can get an alley oop from a non traditional place? or who can do a normal dunk with a cape on? i dont' know, i like Dwight Howard, but i feel like he could do something really wild, and he's not doing really cool stuff, just like, "showy" types. i'm into the Trailblazers, and Rudy Fernandez was somehow in the contest and i feel like he got straight shafted. his first dunk was pretty wild, and didn't get him many points from the judges table. and then he made a bad choice of having Pau Gasol toss him an alley for the second one. and that guy was screwing him up. he took the entire two minutes to get the pass right, and then he finally got it, and the dunk was pretty nice, but again, no one cared about him. i'm glad that Nate Robinson won, though. first of all because it's nearly impossible that he can dunk in the first place, but also because Dwight Howard didn't deserve it this year. he tried for a foul liner, but he had a foot ahead, and it was boring. so, there's that.
(not from this year, but wild none the less)so this was my first entry in a long time. but i don't have access to TNT here in my apartment, so i can't really get ahold of the games. that bulls thing took a lot out of me, but if i form some more opinions or comparisons about something, i'll do that of course. but Emily should be updating about this soon, so there'll be that to look forawrd to.

and you're wearing the gayest mink
okay, so for some reason i have a real problem with some of the players in the nba. some of them just shouldn't be on the court and i just don't get a good vibe from these guys. i narrowed down my list to ten players, who i think really need to get out:
10. YAO MING-you are only playing in the league because you are over seven feet tall. what do you really do out there? you stand under the freaking basket and jump a mere one inch to reach your hand into the net and drop two points. that's really hard. there's really no need for you, and i don't know why you made the all-star team this year.
9. TONY PARKER- this tim duncan wannabe is just gross. first off, you're on the spurs WITH time duncan. second, you are FRIENDS with tim duncan. but, you are on this list for being a bad version of an already bad player. there really does not need to be space for you on the list of players.
8. NENE- nene? just nene. what is that about? and this guy is from brazil...i'm pretty sure that brazil has last names too...or first ones. but i mean, i don't get this guy at all.
7. JOSE BAREA-lord sithwell has made the list. this guy is the most annoying thing to ever run on a basketball court. he looks like he should be wearing a wizard hat and a robe like mickey in freakin fantasia. he does nothing but annoy other players. and me.
6. JORDAN FARMAR- okay, so this is pretty much barea's brother because they look alike. farmar is just dumb...nothing good comes out of him. he should just get out.
5. ANDERSON VAREJO-where should i start with this dude? there is so much wrong with him...he's got a real crush on lebron james and im sure is his number one fan (butt taps all around), he runs like an idiot, his knees, his hair, his socks....etc etc
4. PAU GASOL- oh. my. goodness. this player is a straight up mess. straight up looks like a guppy fresh out of water, but, when he does something he thinks is cool he shouts his name loud and pounds his chest. cool. you're trying to be king kong, or like, kobe's sidekick robin. heres a hint: robin wears a cape and doesn't play basketball.
3. TIM DUNCAN- yessss, tim duncan. an idiot. again, i'm not sure how to describe my dislike for this guy. there's really not much, i just think that he is mad corny and like, is not even good.
2. JASON KIDD-congrats, you're the second worst person in the nba. he looks like he should be part of the wax museum becuase he doesn't look like a real person at all. he takes all these shots because he thinks he's awesome but he doesn't know that he's not........and sorry, but your kid has a large head.
1.KOBE BRYANT-honestly the worst person ever. i hope that i remember all the reasons why this guy is my least favorite person playing basketball....and on earth. i'll start with the superficial looks. he's ugly...his eyebrows are mad small, his nose is pointy and ears are small. alll that on one face ain't good--might wanna grow some hair again kob becuase you are NOT michael jordan, i don't know if you know that yet. second, this guy has got the biggest ego i have ever seen in my life. could you take some more shots even though there's an open teammate? no. i bet you this guy has only three assists in his entire career. AWESOME. you would (and maybe should) be on your own team so that no one else has to deal with you. i wish i could tell you how many times he tries to get the buzzer beater winning shot....and even more how many times he fails at that. if i were a teammate of kobe bryant's i might retire no matter how old i am because i can't deal. his expressions are too much, and really stupid for that matter. when he messes up he acts like it was someone else's fault but it's like, no dude, that was you because you suck. you do not deserve mvp, you do not deserve to be as popular as you are....but just know it's because people don't know who else to like. not a compliment. i haaaaaaate you.
that's the top ten worst people in the nba...there are others that were in the running, but not everyone could make it onto this vip list.
10. YAO MING-you are only playing in the league because you are over seven feet tall. what do you really do out there? you stand under the freaking basket and jump a mere one inch to reach your hand into the net and drop two points. that's really hard. there's really no need for you, and i don't know why you made the all-star team this year.

Big Baby....plopper
last night there was a real good collection of games on television channels i can watch...sixers and the blazers; celtics and the nets; and in high hopes of some more walt, the knicks and wizards.
i had a bet going on the philly/portland game--against the sixers, of course. this one, was a mess in every sense of the word. i don't know what was going on this time with the blazers, but they were trailllllllin the whole time! maybe it was the scary rabbit running around dressed in a 76ers jersey. but for some reason, the sixers would not stop scoring in the first half. forreal, andre miller (adam sandler), lou williams, andre igoldata(whatever it is)....no thanks, fella. no need to show off for me, because i won't like you ever. there's really not to much to say about this...except maybe that they closed the losing gap from like, 23 down to 8 for about ten minutes... and then it was back to 18 points down. final score: Portland 79, Philadelphia 100. REAL COOL.
the nets have been moving up on my list of teams i like...i don't know if its that i saw them, or that i've just been watching more of their games because i get their specialty channel. but either way, vince carter is THE MAN, and if i was related to him, too, life would be okay. downside though: josh boone, eduardo najarea, brook lopez pretty much. but tonight, they were playing in boston, who most definitely needed a win. let me just say that the way they played last night was up to par. THE RAYRAY SMOOTHIE WAS BLENDIN RIGHT!...paul pierce was just about the best person ever. and, Big Baby looks like Binky Barnes from Arthur, and is "a plopper." but it was cute, you know, everyone from the boston bench got a chance to play and that was good--NICE CALL, DOC. final score: New Jersey 86, Boston 118... sorry vince. i miss you tony allen, come back.
in other news: d-baby scored 25 points in his game, and they actually beat the raptors in a final score of 102-98...thatssaboy!
one of my least favorite match-ups ever: Lakers and Spurs. that is actually one of the worst things that could be on television. c'mon now. you can't pick a side with these two--you're going to chose kobe bryant to win? no way. but then you'd have to be rooting for tim duncan...and that is just incredibly disgusting and very wrong. soooo, i wouldn't know what to do in this situation because i really hate them both. final score for kobe and tim: L.A. 111 S.A. 112. i'm sure these two were the last people to shoot on their team, and i hope that the ball bounced out of the basket to hit them in the face...both of them, and then flew over hit their little partners--pau gasol and tony parker.

percolating in the paint with exquisite timing...
boston celtics are straight up killin me.
it's not the fact that they have six losses right now--i know they can't win every game. but it's more so who they have been losing too. beginning with the lakers on christmas. then, GOLD STATE WARRIORS?! c'mon fellas, that's ridiculous. then we got a loss to the trailblazers. as much as i like them, whyyyy did they lose by ten points? and now, we have added another loss to the list by the freakin new york knicks. WHAT. THE. CRAP. people, really, you are better than the knicks. man, if i even saw mr. david lee layup another ball, or even just come up on the screen with that stupid chin dip, i was going to throw up. then they had sir two-toned head whose sweatband was really cutting off circulation to the dude's scalp. but for some reason this guy was like, on the money. but if i saw him score another three i was going to die. some dude was tryin to be like nelly foreal. got a band-aid on the eye and everything. duhon i think it was. i really don't know. that team is a mess, i don't know how they pulled this one off. especially because the advice of the coach, "If you play this game for 48 minutes with the same or more energy than them, we will win." what? really? do you also need to score more points or what, dummy?
on our side, rondo barely played i feel like. wassup with that one, doc. i mean, he's what's goin on. but instead, he puts Big Baby in for way too long. whatever, i really don't know what was going on with the green last night. rayray was off a bit in the second half anyway. paul did maaaad work in the second half. i wish that guy was my dad...i love him.
but i honestly don't even know what to say to recap this game. the game was close pretty much the entire time, and it was just kind of like a battle of three pointers, really. for some reason the new yorkers were smackin all kinds of shots and then boston would try to do the same instead of just doing fast layups or something like that. the other problem, i know, was that they were double and triple teaming kev, paul and rondo for sure. like, hop off, please. give the playas some space to breathe. good lord.
one good thing about watching this dumb game: WALT FRAZIER.he's the man and has the best phrases on earth including:
"stumbling and bumbling"
"running and stunning"
"out-muscling and out-hustling"
"slamming and jamming"
"driving and mesmerizing"
"all the Knicks with the knack tonight"
"continuity and spontaneity"
"...manipulating in the lane"
"...beginning to percolate"
"swiss cheese defense"
"erratic, dramatic, acrobatic"
"styling and profiling"
"posting and toasting"

suga with a move
yes, this is derrick rose in the flesh...
last night my dad and i went to see chi-town play the nets at the izod, or in other words, to see d-baby live and in person. and just for the record (for those who care) he is much cuter in person. we were able to be right by the chigago players as they were coming out to shoot around, but i was dumb and wasn't able to get a clear picture of derrick, probably because i couldn't see straight being that i was actually looking at him. but it was super cool, man. no doubt.
the matchup was right on, too. like, the game was super close. vinny carter was workin the hardest for the nets--he had like, 31 of their 87 points. that's crazy--he's real good to watch and my dad was lovin him. devin harris did mad work for the team, too. those were the two standouts. chris douglas-roberts was put in last night for me, so that's wassup because i love him. and i realize that i really hate the nets mascot.
the bulls pulled out some kind of stuff though, because i'm not even sure how they really won. shaggy is more of a mess in person. the dude flails and doesn't understand any of the fouls that he commits. i mean, he makes enough of them, i don't know why he doesn't know. i hold my breath every time he shoots, too because he kind of sucks. ben gordon is freakin buff, and i'm not sure why. and again, his number disappeared. that gets me every time. and he is some kind of shooter, man. the dude gets it and knows what to do. derrick rose was livin it up last night. he must have seen me, because he was working hard out there--something like 21 points and 13 assists. that's crazy. i love love love him. best thing, ever. and, larry hughes' ankles are way too skinny.
at the end, chigago was winning by like, 15, and all the nets fans left, so my dad and i went as close as we could to see der-bear walk out. i just wanted to run up and hug the fella, i really had to stop myself. but the game was good, the time was awesome, and derrick was prime time. i took like, too many pictures probably, and it's weird because basketball games don't seem like that big of a deal when you aren't watching it on television.

but one of my dreams came true last night, and next time i see him there's going to be more eye contact and the plan will go into effect. get ready, derrick.

The Bulls Play The Bulls
Maybe it's just because i grew up watching a generation of basketball players that aren't really around anymore, but i can't help but compare certain things about now to certain things from then. so basically, the Chicago Bulls team from this year pretty much looks like they're casting for a play about the Chicago Bulls from 1995/1996. i've collected some images to help prove my point:
Drew Gooden is so absolutely unique that he grew up some wild sea creature beard and got a few sick tats to display during the games. Sick tats are all the rage now, but 12 years ago, Dennis Rodman was one of the only in the league who was covered in such. Dennis didn't have anything more than the expected goatee, but obiously won most unique for his multicolored multifashioned hair work, and to quote a certain "Mista T" Drew Gooden "Whas up with ya ballld hedd? You betta get som'thin' else, or you be dead." Also, Gooden prides himself in rebounds and wears number 90, and Rodman was the rebound king of not only the Bulls, but the entire 90s decade, and wore number 91. not obviouls at all DREW.

Ben Gordon is the perfect candidate to play Scottie Pippen. similar heights, similar body types, similarly facially strange (Pippen probably more so, i suppose) not to mention the fact that Gordon is getting close to Pippen's 3 point record. they're just in the same positions, the team is obviously very different, but if you somehow somehow make them even, Gordon comes out as being Pippen. he just needs to untuck the jersey a little so the number 7 can show some more.

Besides the fact that Deng wears Harper's old digit, he also shares Harper's so-so dependency. some games, Ron Harper would show some appropriate behavior; making shots, passing correctly, et cetera. But some games you would just get so pissed at him; why is this guy starting? why don't they trade him? why would he shoot that three? et cetera. Luol Deng is in the same spot. He's a bit taller, so instead of shooting questionable threes he just pops some small hooks or missed some put backs, that type of thing. Harper's a bit lighter, but i don't think the audience will notice.
Besides the fact that Deng wears Harper's old digit, he also shares Harper's so-so dependency. some games, Ron Harper would show some appropriate behavior; making shots, passing correctly, et cetera. But some games you would just get so pissed at him; why is this guy starting? why don't they trade him? why would he shoot that three? et cetera. Luol Deng is in the same spot.

Nocioni is real annoying. i'll just start with that. if this was a comparison straight on looks, or if i was comparing players to cartoons from the 1960s, he'd be matched exactly with Shaggy from Scooby Doo. but in the Broadway Bulls play, Nocioni's playing Kukoc. two European shooters. the fact that Kukoc was better and was the 6th man says something, but in an overall sense, i'd MUCH rather have Kukoc on my team. Kukoc was clutch, Nocioni's a jabbing shag stag who doesn't know the difference between a foul and a high five.
Although Gray wears the classic number of Bill Wennington, he reminds me more of Mr. Luc Longley. is he a son of Longley? maybe not in a genetic sense, but it seems as though as he learned from the Longley School for Caucasian Center Positions. Gray is always pink as a pig, but Longley always played it Australian cool.

MICHAEL JORDAN & DERRICK ROSE
PHIL JACKSON & VINNY DEL NEGRO
i'm going to start by saying that Michael Jordan is nearly impossible to top, let alone be compared to, and i'm not saying that Derrick Rose is going to end up starring in a movie with Looney Tunes, being endoresed by underwear or having a his own brand of almost everything (sorry Em), but Michael Jordan is arguably the best player to ever touch a basketball, so it's sort of an unfair comparison. BUT, i've heard it said a few times that Derrick Rose is reminding people of rookie year Jordan. he's young, he's fast, he involves the rest of the team and makes playes happen which is part of what made Jordan a very special someone. no one knows what could happen in the rest of Derrick Rose's career, so, he could end up being better than ole MJ, but he'll also need a backing band of brothers that will at least do something that resembles helping him out.
Phil Jackson played for the Knicks in the 60s and 70s, Del Negro was a Spur in the 1990s. Vinny is having some trouble making decisions as a first year coach this season, and i think the solution is a mustache. look at Phil's in the picture, and Del Negro just looks like Michael Scott's sourpuss brother. i know mustache's are getting a bit played out, but for a coach, they never will.
