Another spoof video that proves you don’t have to resort to pee and fart jokes to be funny.

The Spoofs just keep on coming!
This is one of the funniest spoofs on the Internet regarding LeBron’s “Decision” Infomercial. And I’ve seen a lot of them. Let me save you the clicking. Most of them revolve around LeBron “coming out of the closet” or some such jackassery. Pretty Lame. This one, however, is a classic!
LMAO!

Charles Barkley is a potty mouth …
And he needs to get his mouth washed out with soap …. and yet, I can’t help but love him for it. lol.
A whole lotta ass kissin goin’ on!
I posted this in my Facebook Page, and I know it’s been a minute since I said boo, but this shit just HAD to get posted.
This video was created by and features many famous Cleveland personalities including US Governors and Senators. Grown ass men and women in their 40s and 50s BEGGING LeBron (a 25 year old kid) to stay ….. WOW.

Between this, the Heat’s wewantwade.com campaign and the New York Daily News’ attempt to lure LeBron (Get LeBron), I’d say that people are going out of their way to find an ass to kiss.
I mean, I want Bosh to stay in Canada, but I am not gonna stoop to that level and beg like a dog for something like this.
People need to get their priorities straight and act right.

Derrick Rose is a bad man!
When I saw this dunk on TV I literally jumped out of my seat and started going insane. When you watch it multiple times like I did on my PVR, you get to see the extension on his arm during the dunk, the vertical – the boy gets UP, and the follow through.
I mean, he dunks that ball so hard …. I think he must have been mad at someone … simply amazing.

Allen Iverson retiring?
After 13 years, AI appears to be hanging up his shoes … if for nothing more than frustration at not getting his way.
He even went so far as to write a letter to all his fans …
I don’t normally copy word for word from other articles, but this one I want to keep in my own archives for future reference ….

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
I would like to announce my plans to retire from the National Basketball Association. I always thought that when I left the game, it would be because I couldn’t help my team the way that I was accustomed to. However, that is not the case.
I still have tremendous love for the game, the desire to play, and a whole lot left in my tank. I feel strongly that I can still compete at the highest level.
Stepping away from the game will allow me to spend quality time with my wife and kids. This is a reward that far exceeds anything that I’ve ever achieved on the basketball court. I have prayed for this day and I see it as my greatest gift.
I want to thank the people of Reebok International Ltd., for always allowing me to be me and for supporting me my whole career through all the ups and downs. I have enjoyed 13 wonderful seasons in the NBA, and I am grateful.
I want to first acknowledge my fans everywhere, who have been with me throughout my entire career. Without you, there would be no me. You should all know that I appreciate your support from the bottom of my heart. Thank you!
To Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Charles Barkley and Larry Bird, you guys gave me the vision to play the game that will be forever in my heart.
To my Mom, who encouraged and inspired me to play every day, and to all of my family and friends who stood by me from the beginning. Thank you!
To my high school coach, Michael Bailey, Coach John Thompson at Georgetown University, Coach Larry Brown and to all of my other coaches, teammates, administrators, owners and staff who’ve been a part of my career, Thank you as well!
I’d like to give a special thanks to the people of Memphis. I never played a home game for your beloved Grizzlies, but I want you to know how much I appreciate the opportunity given me by a great owner in Michael Heisley, and the support of the city. I wish the Memphis Grizzlies’ organization all of the success that the game has to offer.
And finally, to the city of Philadelphia: I have wonderful memories of my days in a Sixers’ uniform. To Philly fans, thank you. Your voice will always be music to my ears.
God Bless all of you,
ALLEN IVERSON

This whole thing just seems surreal to me. Everyone and their dog was saying to not touch AI at first and now that he’s gone, everyone is saying that he has a lot left to give. The media can be so contradictory, if not confusing and two faced.
I’ll stand by my original statement earlier that AI has a lot left to give but that he has to mature and be okay with being a second banana before he can contribute positively. If he is not willing to concede SOMETHING, then maybe it IS best that he simply walk away …

The Dark Ages
We’re in a new Millenium and STILL dealing with dark ages commentary in our sports!
When Hamed Haddadi (The NBA’s first Iranian player ever) came into the game for Memphis a few nights ago vs. The Clippers, the Clippers broadcast team of Ralph Lawler and Michael Smith decided to “entertain” as this ESPN article ascertains ….
The transcript of the conversation between Lawler and Smith, which occurred late in the game, was printed on the Los Angeles Times’ Web site:
Smith: “Look who’s in.”
Lawler: “Hamed Haddadi. Where’s he from?”
Smith: “He’s the first Iranian to play in the NBA.” (Smith pronounced Iranian as “Eye-ranian,” a pronunciation that offended the viewer who complained.)
Lawler: “There aren’t any Iranian players in the NBA,” repeating Smith’s mispronunciation.
Smith: “He’s the only one.”
Lawler: “He’s from Iran?”
Smith: “I guess so.”
Lawler: “That Iran?”
Smith: “Yes.”
Lawler: “The real Iran?”
Smith: “Yes.”
Lawler: “Wow. Haddadi that’s H-A-D-D-A-D-I.”
Smith: “You’re sure it’s not Borat’s older brother?”
Smith: “If they ever make a movie about Haddadi, I’m going to get Sacha Baron Cohen to play the part.”
Lawler: “Here’s Haddadi. Nice little back-door pass. I guess those Iranians can pass the ball.”
Smith: “Especially the post players.
Lawler: “I don’t know about their guards.”
I can completely understand WHY those announcers were suspended. What they said is not just borderline racist, it’s also completely inappropriate. Why choose to associate a skill that can be learned with nationality?!?! That’s like saying that smart = asian or that anything that is Spanish is from Mexico.
And then to associate Haddadi (Iranian) with Borat (a fictional character from Kazakhstan) is just so incredibly IGNORANT! That’s like saying that people from China are Japanese or some other racist crap like that!
It may be “entertainment” to SOME people, but for others, the comments made were bigotry at their finest … or worst. And it shows just how incredibly ignorant some people are about the geography of the world
I don’t hold anything against Lawler and Smith – as long as they learn from their mistake and never again mock or continue to poke at another person’s nationality.
It’s just SUCH an insensitive thing to do!

NBA on TNT – I love Barkley
Yet another reason to LOVE the fact that the NBA is back on TV …. Charles Barkley is great
NBA2K10 Video
I’ve always been a fan of NBA Live. Ever Since 95.
But for a few years I was a 2K Hoop Head. 2K1 and 2K2 were awesome – hands down. But it was not long before I was back in Camp Live.
I’ve always known 2K was good … it just wasn’t as …. flashy as I would have liked.
And NBA Live has been at the core of some fun multi-player memories for me.
Well, a friend of mine suggested that I check out some video for 2K10 back about a month ago and he sent me and another buddy this link.
All I have to say is that adding the Shawn Kemp finger point at the end of the dunk is ridonkulous!
I’m still not gonna switch from Live, though.

Malice at the Palace Revisited
In one of the more boring and shameless displays of Public Relations BS, Ron Artest has reached out to the fan (John Green) who tossed the drink at him in Detroit, sparking one of the nastiest sports brawls in history.
Now, the fan and Artest are joining forces for SOME sort of Charity BS work.
Listening to this guy talk about what has famously become called “the incident” it is clear that he is in it for nothing more than his own 15 minutes of fame.
As for Ron, it’s another BS attempt to clean up his image.
This kind of crap makes me wanna gag, puke and repeat ….

A Chuck Swirsky Moment …
I was watching WGN a few nights ago – it’s an imported channel here in Canada – and I saw an ad for the Bulls. I had seen this ad before and thought “Ach, the Bulls SUCK! Why would I want to watch an ad so far removed from the upcoming season?” after which point I’d change the channel to something else.
But this time I was feeling ULTRA lazy and didn’t change it. Instead, I just stared at the TV in kind of a haze, just waiting for the ad to end.
Then, all of a sudden, I heard a familiar voice. I sat up and listened more intently, trying to make out the voice amid the myriad Bulls highlights and fans cheering they showcased …. was it? … YES! It was Chuck Swirsky!
He has changed his phrases a bit but they’re still as cheesy as ever. It was a fun ad and I find myself now purposefully watching WGN in hopes that I will catch another Bulls ad just so I can hear his commentary again.
Hearing him calling a Bulls game brought me back to my Chuck Swirsky Bobblehead and all the good times I had watching and imitating Chuck Swirsky’s oddball commentary. His trademark “Sick Wicked and Nasty!” as well as “Get out the Salami and Cheese Mama!” were phrases that actually made me watch unwinnable Raptors games for …
I know a lot of people are cold on him, but I’d rather have Swirsky than Bill frickin Walton (“Throw it down, big man” is the best he can do?) or Walt Frazier (a NY legend but bland as rice cakes commentator) or even this guy ….
(worst sportscaster EVER!)
I mean, he may have polarized a fan base, but the man had personality and he at LEAST tried to make the games fun. He and Jack Armstrong were great together and that new guy that replaced him has not been able to fill the shoes left behind.
~sigh~ … I miss Chuck Swirsky.
At least I still have my bobblehead …

Wii Sports Resort – Basketball!
This is a video I found on YouTube (where else?) that shows you one of the cooler features that comes with Wii Sports: Basketball!
You can play a Pick Up Game or get into a 3 point shootout with your closest friends without the sweat, elbows or nasty ankle sprains or bruises!
I’ll tell you what I know: The 3 Point Shootout is WAAAAY more fun than the pickup game, in my humble opinion.
The Pickup game (a simplified 3 on 3 game) requires a fairly obscure control scheme for the players and it is difficult getting the timing right and figuring out which buttons to press for cuts, drives or jab steps and you only control one of the 3 players at a time. Plus the D is acorn dumb. Your defenders – who resemble Men’s League players more than I’d like to admit – fall at the first cross over or missed steal attempt! So if you are both n00bs, then you might have fun laughing at the players falling and trying to get the timing down right. But if you are playing with an owner of the game, or someone who plays it often, then prepare to be blanked! scores of 11-0 or 16-0 are not far fetched! Overall it is fun, but by the end of the second game, I was upset cuz my guys were nothing more than glorified pylons and the game came with a complete lack of a “goon” button. So play at your own risk!
The 3 point shootout mini game, however, is a BLAST to play! It’s like the NBA 3 point shootouts at All Star Weekend. I don’t think I have ever had so much fun shooting virtual threes …. ever! And I’ve played every NBA Live since ’95 and most of the NBA 2K series! For starters, the shooting mechanics require a grab and let go mechanic which is not hard to figure out. But because of the motion controller, you actually have to shoot with proper form in order to get your shot to go in! Shoot to the left and your shot will clang, shoot to the right and your shot will clang. Let go too early and it’s a brick. Let it go too late and it’s an airball. It was a very slick interface which took a tiny bit of time to understand. By the end of the minigame, I had the technique down and I was drilling 3s with reckless abandon. The best part is that ANYONE can play. So if your spouse or girlfriend throws down, she actually has a very good chance to beat you and get a much better score – Not to mention the bragging and humiliation you would have to suffer, which is a must for a party game!
GREAT for a party or friendly get together, Wii Sports Resort Basketball is a good time for all! I highly recommend it if you are a hoop head.
Oh yeah, with other sports such as table tennis, bowling, golf , archery, frisbee and a mini game that can only be described as a Wii Lightsaber fight (perfect for the Star Wars dork in all of us), among others, this game packs a lot of fun in a short amount of time.
