Heaven Is A Playground 35th Anniversary

Hooped Up | March 2, 2010

Considered one of the greatest basketball books of all time, Rick Telander’s “Heaven is a Playground” describes a summer spent at Foster Park in Brooklyn in 1974, where Telander was able to witness basketball legends in the making and document the early culture of street basketball.

In honor of the book’s 35th anniversary, Converse prepared an exhibition of Rick’s photography from that summer in Foster Park – featuring basketball greats and characters from book such as Connie Hawkins, Albert and Bernard King, James “Fly” Williams to name just a few. Read More »

Is Starbury’s Cousin Just A Hater? Part II

Hooped Up | September 5, 2008

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.

In this shameless promotion for the Jamel Thomas autobiography ”The Beautiful Struggle”. Thomas goes off on Stephon Marbury in rhyme form, in the “lab” aka the kitchen.  Can’t these dudes just hug it out or something, before we are subjected to the part II of this  drivel.  

Then we’ll have to hear Jamel Thomas blame Starbury for not having any dishwashing liquid to do the dishes in the background.

Is Starbury’s Cousin Just A Hater?

Hooped Up | September 5, 2008

Stephon Marbury’s cousin, Jamel Thomas rips Starbury in his autobiography.  

“Stephon Marbury has carried the stigma of being a selfish player for the majority of his 12-year NBA career. Now, his older cousin is saying Marbury is even more self-centered off the court and is dishing details on the Knicks point guard in his autobiography, “The Beautiful Struggle,” the Daily News has learned. The book, due out in late September from Xlibris Publishing, has former NBA pro and current overseas player Jamel Thomas alleging that Marbury ruined a potential deal for him with the Minnesota Timberwolves. In it, Thomas includes a conversation that he allegedly had with Kevin Garnett, in which Garnett tells him how Marbury’s presence on the team spoiled his cousin’s chances of signing with Minnesota.”

New York Daily News

“The Beautiful Struggle” was the title of a good Talib Kweli album. Now “The Beautiful Struggle” is a belly-aching autobiography of Stephon Marbury’s cousin laced with haterade. 

Call me crazy but, blaming others for not making it in the league just might be the reason why you never made.
