Hooped Up

Paying tribute to the legendary US hit squad hired to stomp out opposing countries then sign their autographs in the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics. The Nike Zoom Barcelona in a red, white and blue color scheme will be available this summer for your Dream Team lovin’ consumption. Read More »

During the Super Bowl, Charles Barkley tried to sell me some Taco Bell by dropping lyrics with Lamar Odom and a dreadlock backing him up on the mic / teleprompter — it didn’t really rock.

Over the last two days I’ve had some mad technical problems bringing you Hooped Up, but it looks like the worst has passed and everything is okay — for now (crosses fingers, throws salt over shoulder, and climbs sacred mountain to retrieve in bloom rare good luck orchid).

After watching the outtakes from Charles Barkley, Dwight Howard and Dwyane Wade filming their T-Mobile ads, I guess I wasn’t alone in the problems department. Yup, you could even say that minus the money, height and graduate professor jackets. I’m exactly like those guys. Then again, you could also say “keep dreamin’ buddy”.

Just like Charles Barkley I want to see Dwight Howard demand the basketball more and be a beast down low. However, more importantly just like Ernie Johnson, I want to hear Dwight Howard do his best Charles Barkley impression.

Priorities kids, priorities.

After having Ron Artest as a guest earlier in the week, last night Jimmy Kimmel invited Charles Barkley to his late night show set and Chuck was in rare form. He talked about losing weight, still being fat, his aspirations of being a GM in the NBA, betting and of course Mrs. Gomez.

To top it all off, Barkley even played some Tetherball ball. See how good or bad that turned out after the jump.

Take a look and see how many push-ups NBA Legend Charles Barkley can do. Is it 5, 10, or maybe a little bit higher? Watch and count my friend.

Today, Ron Artest proved why he’s on the Hooped Up All Blogger team, with a signle video post that lasted 1:30. You won’t believe the crazy smack he had to say about Charles Barkley!

Things just got real hood!

Charles Barkley was back from summer camp jail just in time to watch himself on “the outside” in episode two of the Haney Project from his couch. But just in case you missed episode two, it’s all here via YouTube.

It’s good to see Chuck free, but it’s too bad they didn’t lock up his golf swing longer for assaulting my eyes.

Parts 2, 3, and 4 after the jump.

Over the weekend Charles Barkley went to jail to serve 3 days of hard time. In true, Barkley fashion he didn’t have to wear a pink jumpsuit like the other inmates and Sir Charles had his own tent in Tent City (probably equipped with a flat screen).

Barkley also got to leave the jail to work and held a press conference in jail where he sounded off on Chris Brown, Rush Limbaugh and Bernie Madoff  in his Nike tracksuit.

This is a joke, the state of Arizona just sent him to camp for the weekend minus the s’mores.

Mmm — S’mores!
