…and the “best of” times. The annual best of lists are out, as are decade-long retrospectives on what made the aughts. Best of lists are always a touchy subject. So many invariables goes into making such a list. My criteria may vary greatly from what someone else is considering. Does financial or popular success mean anything? Of course I say no, [...]
You can call him Chocolate Rain
Love it. Bron-Bron’s puppets get the Lupe treatment. Caught this on ESPN this morning, and then saw it on 2dopeboyz literally seconds ago. Soooooooooooooooooo trill.
UPDATE: KRS-One gets in on the action.
Gladwell/Simmons III
More eagerly awaited than Pacman-Mayweather (or even Pacman in Vegas II) has been my giddy anticipation for more collaboration between Canada’s own Malcolm Gladwell and ESPN’s The Sports Guy aka Bill Simmons. I would love nothing more than to have an extended bromance with these two. I really think I could add something to their [...]
Been in trouble with the law since the day they was born
I will save my opus of why Randy Moss remains the single most electrifying weapon in NFL history (and my hero) for another time. For now, I choose to merely bask in the nostalgic glory of 18 84 18. Also, I got reminded Wednesday evening of how bomb a ball player Jason Williams used to [...]
I bet she’s even left handed
I bet she thinks her upbringing as a Latina woman gives her a better perspective as a pitcher, too.
The Pump Has Been Primed
Not gonna go on for too long on this — my man Bethlehem Shoals of The Baseline and Free Darko has it on lock. The topic of the conversation is mental illness in the NBA. It’s certainly been there for awhile (Shawn Kemp and Vin Baker immediately pop into my mind), but the recent sagas [...]
Like Mike
If you know me, you know how much the man means to me. From dictating what I wear to what I played to how I played it, nothing can compare to His Airness. Shit, I even carved the Dunkman in the back of my dome piece in fourth grade (pic coming soon). I literally grew [...]
30/30 Club
And when I say 30/30 Club, I’m not talking about players who end up in the Bobby/Barry Bonds or Jose Canseco club. I’m talking about ESPN’s 30th Anniversary and how its being commemorated with a special 30-part documentary series.
I first learned about it in a Sport’s Guy column a few weeks ago talking about a [...]
This dude is more measured than Obama
This is pretty cool…possibly overly staged, but cool nonetheless. David Stern in a Harlem barbershop chopping it up with writer William Holden. No more words, just watch…
