NBA on Drugs
I had to write this story.
Apparently OJ Mayo violated the leagues drug policy.
And he blames an energy drink he bought from the local gas station.
"It's not like I went to a GNC and got some Muscle Armor or ordered some supplement off the Internet or anything. It was just a local gas station that kind of got me hemmed up."
All of this got me thinking about the best of drug users in the NBA
Birdman Chris Anderson
A one time Dunk Contest participant, and leading rebounder and shot blocker in the NBA turned meth-head.
What was so special about this guy doing drugs was the league kept it real hush hush.
They were willing to tell the media that Anderson would be suspended for an entire year without pay, but wouldn't say why. Then we found out it was because of the drug policy, but that's when things got even more interesting because we're used to seeing players get suspended for a few weeks for weed or cocaine.. so we knew this was big.
Rash"weed" Wallace
A nickname due to the drug policy. This guy and Damon Stoudamire basically turned the Portland Trailblazers into the JailBlazers.
Shawn Kemp
A fall from grace. I was the biggest Kemp fan. He would smash on the top of anyone then get dap. An All-Star, Slam Dunk participant, went to the NBA Finals.
Then cocaine.
7 children, 6 different women. Fat. But he has a restaurant in Seattle?

Sole of Hate
Beat LA!
Why do I like Kevin Garnett?
Because Laker fans hate him.
Not only do Laker fans hate him but a lot of the players around the league hate him. He's a classic, top-notch trash talker. Everyone will agree that he talks a ton of shit on the court, including telling Charlie Villanueva he looks like a cancer patient. Its safe to say KG one of the top three trash talkers of all time. (Gary Payton, KG, Michael Jordan)
How can KG take his trash talking to the next level? How about having his shoes talk shit. Yep. 152-120
The all-time Celtic - Laker record. The Celtics up 32 games. Kind of ridiculous since the record will change this Sunday. But I appreciate the hate.
Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant do not get along. I can remember back when Shaq and Kobe knocked out KG, Latrell, and the Timberwolves. KG would tell Kobe if it weren't for Shaq, it would be a much different game.
Now KG gets his wish as he takes on the Lakers again.
I am commending Kevin Garnett for going out of his way to share an unprecedented hate for the Lakers (and love for the Boston fans at the same time).
PS. I'm watching the Celtic Fail-Blazer game. 4th quarter, 6 minutes left, score is 74 - 63 Celtics.
63 points for the Blazers. That is AWFUL.
PSS. Is KG the only player in the history of sports to have his FACE put on his shoe?

Most Hated Commentator - Marc Jackson
He just gets it done!
I have a hard time believing you beat Reggie Miller
Hand down, MAN DOWN
Reggie is awful in his own right, always talking about his past accomplishments.
Excuse me, I got a meeting with the rim
I guess you just have a knack at being terrible.
GOTCHA!
You also beat out Stever Kerr, and he basically dismantled a championship contender.
That's a grown man move
How do you feel about winning (losing) over Jeff Van Gundy?
No question about it, when his number is called he's ready to go. The best player has to set the tone for his team.
Alright Marc, I'll see ya later.
Mama there goes that man

Fail-Blazers
A conversation between my friend D.Skrilla Jones and I, goes a little something like this:
Skrilla: Sir, have you ever been to Portland?
Me: Nope.
Skrilla: You would love it homie, I could picture you up there. All granola and shit just chillen and shit.
Me: Sounds great.
I hear the greatest things about the city of Portland. Its green, easy to get around, great nightlife, unmatched beauty, cripples players.
Poor Greg Oden. So much potential. So little time to show it. The worst part? ESPN and other media rubbing it in Portlands face. Let me explain.
NBA Commentator (A): KEVIN DURANT, he really is something else. Just a few years in the league and hes one of the top scorers, a class act, and he's leading the Thunder into the playoffs. The NBA, where amazing happens.
NBA Commentator (B): Did you know Durant was drafted second?
NBA Commentator (A): What?!!?1 That's impossible, who was drafted before him?
NBA Commentator (B): Greg Oden
NBA Commentator (A): ..... who?
ASSHOLES.
Alas, the Blazers have Brandon Roy. A true all-star, super star, ability to hit game winners.
In fact, RON ARTEST was quoted as saying Brandon Roy was the best player he ever played against!!
Now I know that mat not be much coming from Ron the Bomb but theres no denying how great Roy is...
or was.
The poor guy just had double knee surgery. Again. This poor guys is always injured.
And just to make matters worse. God adds insult to injury and slaps down Marcus Camby with knee Surgery.
There must be something in the water of Portland.
But that's okay cause the regular season is long and the west isn't as deep as it once was. Maybe they can make a comeback in the second part of the season.
But for now, I'm HATING on your city of PORTLAND.
You must be doing something to injure your players. STOP.
The BLAZERS are a fun exciting team when they're healthy. Plus, I'm sick and tired of seeing Fernandez get a ton of PT.
How is it the player that demands to be traded stays healthy. I say, give Oden's, Camby's, and Roys injuries to Rudy.
One more thing. I'm calling it right now.
Brandon Roy = Grant Hill
You think he's done? Naw. Ten years from now, Roy will be on the Suns drinking that fountain of youth balling it up.
And to those who don't think Grant Hill was ever a baller.... watch this..

The KG-Be Mad! - and Charles DARKley?!
Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov has just climbed into my Top 3 Russian list. The Russian from Rocky, The Russian from the Direct TV ads (I loves the money), and The Russian who owns an NBA team.
Not only does the sickle and hammer own the Nets but he's already beginning to take charge of the NBA.
Claiming the Nets deal to get Carmelo is "Taking too long", and "Becoming too expensive." He doesn't like the way its been played out in the media.
The best part the guy doesn't own a computer. "Maybe he sent me an e-mail, but I don't have a computer... Maybe the carrier pigeon got lost."
A sense of humor to boot.
Billions of dollars and the guy can't be bothered by technology. I love it. He just pays some poor sap to check his emails and report to him.
And what about Carmelo's current contract?
Isn't he waiting to get his 65 MILLION DOLLAR EXTENSION?
65 Million Dollars?! Holy shit. Thats a ton of money for a guy who seems slightly out of shape and motivation.
That's the great thing about the Sickle and Hammer. He basically did what we WANT TO DO.
We are so sick of watching these trades bleed and run all over the news. Watching the money scale reach new heights, and drama unfold while teams are suffering. We want it to end, and so does S&H, and that's what he did, pulled his billion dollar plug out of the deal.
Now Melo has egg on his face and my top 3 Russian is paying someone to check his emails.
----
Now on to what may be the greatest nickname ever since Chocolate Thunder from the Planet Lovetron
Dwight Howard in a press conference after the win against the Celtics on Christmas day, called Brandon Bass "Charles Darkley"
I realize I'm pretty late on this story but I thought some of you might enjoy it.

Hedo - HE DON'T!
Most men can relate to Hedo Turkoglu... allow me to explain.
Hedo is that girlfriend that doesn't want you anymore(the Magic), or she says she doesn't.
So she goes off finding new douche bags (the Raptors and the Suns).
Messes around quite a bit, then realizes that ya know what? You're the right man for her after all.
You're the one for her.
Now shes back.
You want to tell her to fuck off so badly but you can't.
Everything is going great once again. Its as if she never left.
But wait...something just doesn't feel right.
Your friends are telling you, "Hey man, don't forget what she did...she'll do it again!"
"Naw man, shes really learned her lesson, shes different now, shes gana stay. I can feel it"
Denial
And what about the guys shes wrecked on the way coming back to you?
How do you think the Raptors feel? They're still recovering from the Vince Carter break up, and now Hedo turns his back too?
What about the "rebuilding, re-thinking,-renewing,-refuckingitup" Suns?
They're dying to become relevant again. Hedo comes in and torches them.
At least for the Suns, Hedo left before the midpoint in the season.
She'll do it again, she always does.
I guess what I'm getting at Orlando is..
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...

LeBRON - Bosh Out Against Hawks
Boy am I glad I'm not a moderator on ESPN.
ESPN recently posted an update that Bosh and LeBRON will not be playing tonight against the Hawks.
The Heat and BRON being supremely hated, the comments on ESPN update went apeshit.
I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe my eyes. So much HATE! I LOVED IT.
The reaction by the public whenever a Heat player gets injured is fantastic.
"GOOD! Thats' what you get bitches!"
"Karma! Karma gets you everytime!"
"Talents in south beach are weak!"
Haters will hate.
I took a picture, so all of you can frolic in the hate.
Why is LeBRON getting injured such a magnet for Laker fans? How did Kobe get mentioned in these messages just as much as LBJ? Michael Jordan? What the fuck? The public is nuts.
I will keep loving the Heat as long as everyone else Hates them. A little Hate on Hate action.

The Most Hated Person in the NBA
 | ||
| King of Hate |
All of you voted (6 of you bastards) and you voted for LeBRON. Which brings me to the next person I'm hatin' on right now. YOU!
How dare you, couldn't you of thought of someone a little more original to hate on? Everyone in the whole country hates his ass. Couldn't you hate on the fickle, Canada hating Vince Carter? The blatantly racist Donald Sterling? I guess not.
I hate on all of you.
Hate hate, hate hate hate.
VOTE NOW!

The Great Indoors
I ran into Andrew Bynum after the Lakers loss to the Clippers, and the conversation went something like this.
Me: Hey Andrew
AB: Who are you?
Me: What are you doing here at REI?
AB: I dunno I was thinking about buying a tent.
Me: You like to camp?
AB: Something like that...
Me: Why do you have a passport with you?
AB: I travel.

Sonic DEATH and the NBA loves it
I hate this new commercial featuring Kevin Durant.
A young Kevin Durant, a locker room, and some ASSHOLE who gloats the Oklahoma City Thunder.
"Oklahoma City Thunder, you never heard of them huh?"
Of course he hasn't you dick. There's no such team in 2005. Not even close. How come he couldn't just say, "Seattle Supersonics, that city is going to love you KD."
Maybe because the NBA was launching one of the biggest sports scandals of all time.
And if you have 2 hours of time, watch this scandal!
I loved the Sonics as a young kid, who didn't!?
Kemp, Payton, Schrempf, Perkins, EXCITEMENT!
DEATH
And now.. nothing. A black eye for the NBA. That Sterling is trying to cover up by cake mound of "NBA CARES" ads - Give me a fucking break.

Hate Breeds Hate
Clippers Beat Heat
A day after a famous tweet by LeBRON toting karma was the reason the Cavs were murderd by the Lakers... Karma returns to kill the Heats impressive road win streak.
Karma comes in many forms, and tonight it came in the form of the Heat being Clipped.
The Clippers, a 13-24 team, come in and smash (including a rare Baron Davis dunk) on the Heat in the 1st quarter. The Heat could never regain the lead.
What's that LeBRON? Are you regretting not signing with the Clippers? -- Probably not, South Beach is prett-eh nice... and well the Clips are still owned by Donald Sterling, one of the most diabolical haters/owners in the world.
---
Now this blog is full of hate, but I have to give dap where dap is due.
Blake Griffin is about as hard as it gets.

MV3?
The Cavaliers got absolutely SMASHED tonight.
"I hope the guys in [the locker room] feel like I do. I felt embarrassed. Guys looked scared. Flat-out scared...they looked scared to death."
-- Scott on his team's performance.
"[This loss is] definitely by far one of the most embarrassing moments that I've been a part of as far as the game of basketball. It can't get any worse than this. I don't know how much of this I can take but this by far is rock bottom."
-- Jamison on the loss.
25 first half points, on 10-38 shooting. The Cavs ended up with only 57 points in the entire game.
Thank goodness I missed most of the game. On a night where the NBA gave us absolutely nothing to watch, I casually turned to see the box score every so often to fulfill my hate. Watching a team like the Cavs get hammered this bad tickles my hate for two reasons.
1. NBA doesn't have enough talent to spread around the league to make each game competitive.
2. Bron Bron.
I'm not going to sit here and beat up on the city of Cleveland (There are videos for that)
But I am going to talk about the most HATED person in the NBA, LeBRON James.
Can you believe there are people out there (mostly in Los Angeles) that believe LBJ wasn't deserving of the MVP 2 years in a row? The guy practically averages a triple double, gets to the bucket anytime he wants, and makes his teammates better.
That's horse shit he doesn't make his teammates better!
OHHHH really? Tonight is a prefect example of how he DID make his Cleveland teammates better.
With LeBRON, the Cavs creamed the Lakers on Christmas day by double digits, and made Mo Williams look like an All-star with 28 points.
There were plenty of moments throughout the season where BronBron made JJ Hickson (Who I predicted to be the most improved player this year) look like the next big addition.
He made a player named Boobie a three point specialist...but all that is gone now...and now Hickson is making me look like a turd.
JJ is looking like a chump, Mo is looking like a chump, and Dan Gilbert looks like a super chump.
And while the city of Cleveland is burning LBJ jerseys, the talents in south beach are tearing through the NBA.
Yes, we know that LBJ has Wade and Bosh, but the Heat are winning impressively, and LBJ's old team is playing out embarrassing games.
If the shellacking tonight taught us anything its how valuable LeBRON is to a team. With him, they smash the Lakers and make the playoffs, they have the best record in the east, they have fun while playing...without LeBRON...they get smashed.
"Crazy. Karma is a b****. Gets you every time. It's not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!"
-- Heat forward LeBron James tweet at 9:30 p.m.

Ron the Bomb
We got a small taste of vintage Ron Artest last night when the Lakers hosted the Knicks.
During a small altercation with the Knick's Shawne Williams, Artest briefly put one hand around the neck of Williams. The altercation did not escalate into a fight but the fans of the Staple Center were given a 2 second treat that reminded us of what made Ron Artest so special: Artest is a time bomb.
I give credit to Artest, and his therapist for keeping him cool over the past few seasons, but that doesn't change the fact that its still Ron Ron the ticking Bomb Bomb.
Is this a credit to the California Education and Doctoral programs? Or is this the beginning of the end for Artest?
I also give Artest credit for using one of the NBA's oldest fighting techniques, the choke.
There was Reggie giving Spike Lee the choke.
Sprewell actually choking his coach.
JR Smith choking someone who played good defense.
I love it.
Laker fans are always in a love hate relationship with Artest.
They like it when he plays defense...They hate when he plays offense.
The point is we got a small glimpse of why Artest was arguably the most hated player in the league at one time. His unpredictability makes him unlikable to his teammates, Laker fans, and the authorities, but for me it just makes for good television.
