Who Made LeBron’s All-Star Team?

Hooped Up | September 30, 2009

If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to install Flash Player if it's missing. Get Flash Player from Adobe.

Last night on Charlie Rose, LeBron James picked his fantasy all-time Dream Team and his current All-Star team managed by Charlie Rose and coached by anybody else other than Mike Brown.  If the Knicks want LeBron James in 2010, I’d suggest they send Charlie Rose.

With that black background, LeBron is puddy in his hands.

Another Day, No Delonte

Hooped Up | September 30, 2009
LeBron James says the Cavaliers will welcome back Delonte West, whenever he comes back.

West was absent from training camp for the second straight day Wednesday morning while he deals with personal issues. Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry has spoken at length to West, coach Mike Brown said, adding that the absence is unexcused and that West will be fined. Ferry declined to meet with reporters Wednesday.

“We’ve been around this block before with Delonte, so we know how to handle it,” LeBron James said. “I’m sure he’ll be OK. Basketball has nothing to do with what’s going on. He needs to take as much time as he needs, and when he comes back, we’ll welcome him as we’ve always done.”

James said he called West but didn’t get an answer.

Step Aside Jared Fogle, Big Al Wants Free Sandwiches Too

Hooped Up | September 30, 2009

After Al Jefferson went down with a knee injury last season.  President of basketball operations David Kahn told Jefferson in May to drop some weight during his rehabilitation so the Wolves could run an up tempo style in 09-10. Hobbled by a leg injury, losing weight can be tough, so “Big Al” decided to improvise by eating Ham and Turkey on wheat bread, footlongs daily, from Subway.

The result — Jefferson reported to training camp 31 pounds lighter at 262 pounds, the lightest he’s been in four years.

“We want to run this year. They made that clear,” Jefferson said. “When David Kahn came, he said that’s what he wants to do. When Kurt came, he said that’s what he wants to do. ”So I was like, ‘I better get with it or I might be benched.’ I know they’re not going to wait for me to get down there to post up. So I better get this weight off so they don’t leave me down there.”

Note to Jared Fogle, grab all the Ham and Turkey you can before HR comes to your desk with security dude. It’s only a matter of time before “Svelte Al” takes over your desk.

Marbury Drops A Jay-Z Freestyle Diss

Hooped Up | September 30, 2009

You have either got to be an ill lyricist like NAS or a crazy man to throw battle rhymes at Jay-Z. Enter, Stephon Marbury MC Starbury.

Proving that old beefs die hard. Marbury has been going at Jay-Z lately because of lyrics from Jay-Z’s single released in 2000-freakin’-3, “La, La, La” where HOV said, “Don’t confuse me with Marbury out this bitch / run up on me at the light, you could lose your life.

So last week, Marbury called Jay-Z a camel (I guess he reads Bossip) and now he dropped a few bars of anti-Jay-Z lyrics on the Internet saying. Read More »

Freshly Dipped: Adidas TS Commander LT “Man Child”

Hooped Up | September 30, 2009

Dwight Howard is a Man Child, and now he’ll have the kicks to prove it.

Scheduled to hit the courts in November. The Adidas TS Commander LT “Man Child” in the Orlando Magic colorway has black suede on the toe and back heel with a black perforated leather upper that is accented well with white and blue details. The best detail of these joints of course is on the tongue that reads “The Man Child.”

Don’t worry, if you aren’t cut like a Chevy Truck with a baby smooth face you can still buy these shoes.

Check them out after the jump.

Aaron Gray Gone 6-8 Weeks

Hooped Up | September 30, 2009

Center Aaron Gray was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his left fibula Tuesday and is expected to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks.The team said Gray began to experience lower leg pain the past two days in practice.

The Bulls now have two veteran big men on the shelf. Besides Gray, Jerome James is trying to come back from a torn Achilles’ tendon and estimated that he might be ready to play in a month or two.

The Bulls do have 7-foot Steven Hill, a second-year center from Arkansas, and 6-9 former Florida power forward Chris Richard on the training-camp roster.

West A No Show For First Day Of Cavs Camp

Hooped Up | September 30, 2009

After being arrested on gun charges two weeks ago and being a no show on the first day of Cavaliers training camp. Delonte West could be teetering on being more trouble than he’s worth.

West hit a new low Tuesday on the first day of training camp, skipping both of the team’s workouts. The absences were unexcused and caught the team off-guard after West reported to Monday’s media day. It has now left the Cavs immersed in a gray area of how to proceed with their talented but troubled guard.

“Delonte is in Cleveland,” Cavs General Manager Danny Ferry said in a statement. “He is addressing a personal matter and did not attend practice.”

West takes medication for a bipolar disorder he has struggled with for sometime now, and he has admitted that he hasn’t been taking his treatment regularly. Hopefully, he gets well and back to being an important member of the Cavs soon.

DeShawn Stevenson’s Throat Seems Honest

Hooped Up | September 29, 2009

DeShawn Stevenson seemed like a pretty impulsive dude when a Tattoo Gun is in front or him when I saw his number 2 tattoo, but now it’s official. Stevenson will tattoo damn near anything on his body.

Yesterday, Stevenson showed up for the Wizards media day and dude had some awesome new impulsive Tatts. He had a Frankenstein crack near his hairline, because he doesn’t crack??? A backwards Pittsburgh Pirates “P” on his right cheek, because that’s his favorite team, duh.

And to top it off, he had a picture of Abe Lincoln on his throat. No word on why the 16th President got canvas room on Stevenson’s throat yet, but I believe when he’s ready to talk about it.

It’ll be the truth, because now his throat seems honest.
