Metta Word Peace Plays Weatherman
Hooped Up | May 23, 2013Metta World Peace stopped by FOX 11 Los Angeles to give a hilarious weather forecast. That included farts, meditation, yoga poses my wife knows the name of and the importance of literacy. News about sun and rain has never been more entertaining.
Kevin Durant Finished His Huge Back Tattoo
Hooped Up | May 23, 2013As you probably know, Kevin Durant is a collector of business friendly torso tattoos and he recently finished this huge back piece that will of course be fully covered by his jersey. Corporate America wins again! The tattoo features a depiction of Jesus’ face and a biblical scripture from James 1:2-4 that reads:
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.
If you look close, on the bottom left side of the script writing. Mature looks to be incorrectly spelled “mautre” but, since KD is such a nice guy who doesn’t have eyes in the back of his head to police his tattoo artist. We’ll let it slide. Nice tatt KD.

LeBron James Sinks the Pacers In OT
Hooped Up | May 23, 2013As it turns out, leaving your best, biggest and only shot blocker on the bench. Plus giving the Heat 2.2 seconds to draw up a play with LeBron James being LeBron James is a pretty huge mistake. Like a really huge Roy Hibbert sized colossal mistake. Game 1; Miami Heat.

Dwyane Wade Takes a Fan to Her Prom
Hooped Up | May 22, 2013Last month Dwyane Wade attended the second prom of his life when he showed up unexpectedly to Archbishop Coleman Carroll High School senior Nicole Muxo’s prom after she created a YouTube video asking Wade to be her date.
“She actually DM’d me on Twitter and said, ‘This is the address, this is where I’m gonna be just in case,’ and when I got that I said I won’t be doing nothing tomorrow night and I can go and make this a memorable moment for her,” said Wade.
A clearly happy Muxo said, “I’m gonna remember it forever. This was my highlight of my senior year.” I expect a strong spike in YouTube videos asking Kate Upton and Rihanna to the prom over the next few days.
