Backcourt Violations

(Photo Caption: This is what I think of when I think NBA, two poorly shaven Euros facing off)

There's certainly been more interesting nights in the association. The big news is Jason Kidd actually owning up to wanting out of NJ, and I guess the signing of Chris Webber to the Warriors. The first thing makes me happy. Kidd still has something left in the tank, and he's been downgrading his game with this current Nets squad. He's gonna be great on another contender. As far as Mr. Webber. My fascination with him goes back to this Fab 5 days at Michigan. Had an incredible combination of power, strength, size and speed. It was truly something to see. Even those first few years in Golden State with him, the infamous Latrell Sprewell, and current GM Chris Mullin, he was amazing. Fierce dunker, impact player on both ends of the court. Could even shoot the 3. However, he's always had a horrible attitude, and over time (and injuries) he managed to put the quietest 20 and 10 in NBA history (Knick fans you are seeing the fruit of his labor with Zach Randolph). What it comes down to is, I don't want my favorite team to watch, to employ a player I refuse to support.

New Orleans 117, Denver 93

The player singlehandedly carrying my fantasy team, Chris Paul, put up another gem with 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 17 assists and also was showered with MVP chants at various points during the game. What can I say besides...I agree.

Charlotte 107, LA Clippers 100

In the 3 games since being called to the carpet by the owner and then spanking the Kings, the Clippers are 0-3. So much for the thought that an owner's tirade could actually impact the players on the court. Also how badly did the Bobcats blow the drafting of Adam Morrison. I'll name my first kid SixtyNine if Morrison ever makes any kind of NBA impact.

Utah 97, San Antonio 91

Two of the league's more boring franchises play a game that couldn't hold my interest for more than a few minutes. Nothing like watching Jerry Sloan and Gregg Popovich scowl at each other. Makes you long for the days of Vinny Del Negro.

Fucking Eli Manning!

This honestly might be one of the funniest things I have ever seen! Nothing can touch this... I am not a fan of the man in the Video, he was a horrible man, but the parody was hilarious.

Backcourt Violations

You know sometimes you just don't feel like doing shit. Today is one of those days. That's why this is late.

I'm all for the Nets trading Jason Kidd, he doesn't want to be there, and the team is awful. Once you trade him, the next step is trading the scourge that is Vince Carter, and then you rebuild. NBA All Star game needs to take on a different format. I'm all for a International Stars vs. American Stars game. If the West tries its impossible for them to lose an All Star game.

Also I don't think you need to look for me in New Orleans this year. I wouldn't have gone down there before Katrina.

Cleveland 98, LA Lakers 95

Probably the marquee matchup of the weekend. Tell me you saw Kobe catch a Lebron James jumper in his mouth at the end of the game (I'm a self professed Kobe hater) that was probably the highlight of my weekend. Waved off a screen specifically so that he could put the dagger in with Kobe guarding him one on one.

Orlando 96, Boston 93

If KG plays Boston wins this game, simple as that. Nice miracle shot from the Turk to end the game.

Minnesota 98, New Jersey 95

Ah the Nets, welcome to the lottery. The Timberwolves had 7 wins going into yesterdays game. Al Jefferson is the Cloverfield monster.

Milwaukee 105, Washington 102, OT

Wiz had a furious comeback from being down 11 points at the end of the 4th quarter, but still came up short in OT. To all those who think they might be better off without Gilbert Arenas. This is exactly the kind of game Gilbert wouldn't let them lose.

Movies that Need a Sequel?

COOL as ICE, 1991 Featuring Vanilla Ice

Sadly Cool as Ice was "meant" to be a remake of a true American Cinema Classic, James Dean's Rebel without a Cause. Sadly the producers made one fatal mistake, they hired Vanilla Ice as the lead. I am convinced Suge Knight hung the producers of this movie off the side of the building because it is not humanly possible someone in Hollywood would green light this project unless their life was in imminent danger. My critique of this movie would not do it any justice so I will let my friends at IMDB.com have the honor.

"Worse than the acting is the absolutely hilarious Cameo by Naomi Campbell in the opening credits, who screams her way through a really really hideous song whilst dancing badly and constantly trying to brush her hair away from her face.

After this initial horrific all singing all dancing intro, some slut gives Vanilla her phone number just so that we're reminded how great Vanilla ice is, and then the film starts proper. At this point you're just recovering from the awfulness of the dark warehouse intro, and suddenly you're assaulted by the wildly vivid colours of... pretty much everything actually, it's a constant throughout the film that everything is just too vivid, its hard to explain, but once you've noticed it, its actually quite amusing.

This is pretty much how the film goes, just as you think you've seen the most awful scene in cinematic history, along comes another, worse one that manages to make the last one look average. A great example of this is the way that in the first couple of minutes, Vanilla 'bunny hops' his 250kg GSXR-1100 over a 5 foot high fence. An absolute classic moment in cinema which stays with you... kind of like syphilis.

But it's for all these reasons (and hundreds more) that you should watch this film. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I've never really been an advocate of the 'so bad it's good' school of thought, but I'll make an exception for this film. Not only have I seen it many times, but I bought it new from Amazon a little while ago so I can say I have an original copy. In years to come it will be completely priceless, such is the cult following of this shocking celluloid mistake.

I really would recommend that you see it, not because it's great, but just so you can appreciate how bad something can actually be, and how much of a complete freak of a movie this is."

Now is that not an endorsement for a SEQUEL? Who would you cast in COOL as ICE 2 (Ain’t no time to Melt Now)

d$ and Paz do up the Royal Rumble

d$ and myself attended the Royal Rumble at MSG on Sunday night. Here are some notes from the evening….

-Grey’s Papaya has the recession special going strong. 2 dogs and a 14oz soda for $3.50 (which already includes the tax)

- Watching people look around for 5 minutes before entering a porn store is priceless.

- Apparently they have a professional lacrosse team in NY that plays their home games in MSG and their mascot looks like a Megaman villain reject. (Clownshoe man)

-SNY was interviewing people outside MSG. As one of the interviews came to an end d$ yelled out “I love you Chris Cotter!!” He was spotted, thus ruining his shot at being interviewed.

-Mike Adamle (former American Gladiators announcer) now works for the WWE. Too bad he didn’t bring Larry Csonka with him

-Ric Flair was rocking the greatest robe of all time to the ring. Glistening and glorious.

-For the most part New Yorkers tend to root for the bad guys. (myself included)

-Mike Adamle called Jeff Hardy…"Jeff Harvey"…Where’s Gemini when you need him?

-Michael Buffer still has a phenomenal head of hair and “Let’s get ready to Rumble!” still stirs the crowd into a frenzy.

-Turley from ‘The Longest Yard’ is a wrestler whose only skill is being 15 feet tall.

-‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper is one of the coolest people alive, if you don’t believe me rent the movie “They Live” where he utters the line….”I came here to chew gum and kick ass…..and I’m all out of gum”.

-New York absolutely hates John Cena, yet when he made his surprise entrance the crowd went wild. (Must of been a mostly Yankee fan crowd...1st at bat: boo A-rod stinks...2nd at bat: yay A-rod hit a homer we will love him forever...3rd at bat: boo A-rod stinks)

-Saw Cowbell Man walking down the elevator wearing a sweet leather Mets coat over his smooth Coogi sweater. Don’t hurt em Cowbell Man. He let us know that he's heading down to Port St Lucie soon. I wonder if he packs his cowbell or if they let him carry it on the plane. Just a thought.

-As we were leaving we saw a drunk guy 40 something year old guy wearing a tie dye dragon t-shirt being held back by his mother after the security guards would not let him back up the stairs to go to the bathroom. "I'll kick your asses ::bangs on door:: I'll pee right in front of you then!" We later saw that same man peacefully enjoying a pretzel by himself on a street corner.

-We spotted Darryl Strawberry leaving from the players/wrestlers exit which lead to a raucous “Darryl…Darryl…Darryl” chant throughout the streets of NYC.
