WAG’s: Adriana Lima Does The Victoria Secret Show

Hooped Up | November 18, 2008

Last week Friday, the Grizzlies lost an overtime thriller to the Milwaukee Bucks 101 - 96 and veteran Marko Jaric registered a coaches decision DNP.  On Saturday, he got to watch his fiancé Adriana Lima modeling lingerie in the Victoria Secret show in Miami. Talk about your turn around weekends!

Recently Adriana Lima was named the #1 sexiest model in the world by models.com and sure it arguable, but it’s much easier to enjoy the pictures of her at the latest Victoria Secret show after the jump below.

Hooped Up: Memphis Grizzlies 08-09 Season Preview

Hooped Up | October 29, 2008

A team-by-team preview of all 30 NBA teams heading into the 2008 - 2009 season, Hooped Up style.  

Memphis Grizzlies
Losing games will never look so fun! This squad has a bunch of young talent that can fastbreak and finish like nobody’s business. Thanks to a big assist from Kevin McHale the Grizzlies were able to nab OJ Mayo and then they were able to get Marc Gasol in the trade for his brother to the Lakers. It will be a long season for the Grizzlies again and losing with these guys hangs around like an unpaid bill.

So where does this group go from here?

Projected Starters: PG - Michael Conley / SG - OJ Mayo / SF - Rudy Gay / PF - Hakim Warrick / C - Marc Gasol

Additions: O.J. Mayo, Darrell Arthur, Marc Gasol,Antoine Walker, Marko Jaric, Quinton Ross, Brent Petway , Greg Buckner, Hamed Haddadi

Losses: Mike Miller, Kevin Love, Juan Carlos Navarro, Jason Collins, Brian Cardinal, Kwame Brown, Andre Brown, Casey Jacobsen

Projected Wins: 22+

Team Theme Song:  Guru feat MC Solaar - Le Bien, Le Mal
The good, a lot of young talent…the bad, a tradition of losing.

Overall
The young talent on this Grizzlies team has enough upside to make you puke. OJ Mayo is a bonafide creative off guard, Micheal Conley is a confident and speedy point guard, Rudy Gay can run and jump like a gazelle, Marc Gasol is a big fundamentally sound center and Hakim Warrick finishes extremely well. This team will struggle with their interior defense because they lack a shot blocker but this will improve overtime or with a defensive addition down the road. Give them time.

They won’t win games, but the fastbreak in Memphis will be video game like.

WAG’s: Adriana Lima And Marko Jaric In NYC

Hooped Up | September 9, 2008

Already living the Knickerbocker lifestyle. Adriana Lima and Marko Jaric hit the town for dinner at Pastis in New York City as guests of Carlos Jereissati, CEO of the IGUATEMI.  With a future wife like that, Marko Jaric probably isn’t thinking about any trade rumors involving him any.

Grizzlies Want A First Rounder From Knicks

Hooped Up |

Despite Darko Milicic being 99% sure that a deal between the Knicks and Grizzlies will go down.  One more wrinkle has been added to the deal already on the table.

“Walsh doesn’t appear desperate enough to jump at a deal in which the Grizzlies would take the three years and $48 million left on Randolph’s contract while giving a first-rounder to Memphis. The Grizzlies, according to sources, have agreed to send young 7-1 center Darko Milicic and 6-7 swingmanMarko Jaric to New York. They are playing the waiting game with Walsh, who has made it clear he has no plans to make a knee-jerk decision. In July, Walsh refused to send a first-round pick and Randolph to the Clippers for a second-rounder. ”

Darko And Marko For Zebo On The Table

Hooped Up | September 5, 2008

Having Adriana Lima in Madison Square Gardens all the time is not a bad thing.  Other than that, this deal seems comme ci, comme ca at best for both squads.

“Another rumor has surfaced that the Memphis Grizzlies are interested in New York Knicks power forward Zach Randolph. The proposed trade would have the Knicks acquiring former first-round pick Darko Milicic and Marko Jaric for Randolph, nicknamed “Zebo.”

These players are being tossed in trade rumors because their roles look to be diminished next season. By acquiring OJ Mayo, Darrell Arthur and Marc Gasol, the Grizzles are looking to build a young, up-tempo team full of athleticism, and both Serbian players should find themselves passed on the depth chart”

Chalmers And Arthur Caught With Sticky Icky

Hooped Up | September 3, 2008

My guess is that they never covered the weed unit before this happened.

“Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur were dismissed from the NBA’s rookie transition program Wednesday morning after being caught with marijuana, according to reports.  

“They violated program rules and were sent home,” NBA spokesman Tim Frank told PA SportsTicker.

Frank refused to disclose what rules the University of Kansas products broke.

Chalmers and Arthur also were fined $20,000 apiece and will start the regular season on the suspended list, according to reports.”

Hamed Haddadi Is Coming To The NBA

Hooped Up | August 29, 2008

I posted rumblings about it last week and now it’s official. The first Persian born player will play in the NBA this season.  

“The Memphis Grizzlies signed free-agent centre Hamed Haddadi, who played for the Iranian national team in the Olympics.

The seven-foot-two, 254-pound Haddadi averaged 16.6 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in Beijing.

The 23-year-old Haddadi spent the 2007-08 season playing for Saba Battery BC in the Iranian Super League.”

Canadian Press

The NBA might have a player from every country in a few years and I absolutely love it!
