Hooped Up

Delivered to your digital doorstep is DeShawn Stevenson aka the Usher impersonator. He can’t sing so he doesn’t which should be applauded and unlike every Usher performance the shirt actually stays on, which should also be applauded.  

Channeling his inner Ashlee Simpson,  Stevenson delivers a lip syncing YouTube jem, from one of the studios probably located at the lebronjames750 world headquarters.

Enjoy!

Jay-Z  sat down with VIBE magazine to discussed his dis/motivational track “Blow The Whistle” about the on court feud between LeBron James and DeShawn Stevenson that sparked when the Cavaliers and Wizards met in the playoffs this year. Stevenson claimed to the media that LeBron James is overrated, prompting James to say that he wouldn’t return the insult, as that would be “almost like Jay-Z  responding to a negative comment made by Soulja Boy.”   

It was at this point Jay-Z responded on behalf of LeBron James about the overrated comment made by Deshawn Stevenson with the “Blow The Whistle” track. Soulja boy then got involved, but that story is like a tale of the man that brought a pebble to a machine gun fight. Here’s what Jay-Z had to say about the whole thing.

“I had no intention to talk about the DeShawn Stevenson thing,” Jay-Z said in an interview with Vibe. “I seen him beatin’ the [expletive] out of LeBron, and he really couldn’t do nothing. I really wanted to inspire [LeBron]. I sent him the ["Blow The Whistle (freestyle)"]. The song wasn’t to be released.”

“I sent him the song to get him amped up. I do [expletive] like that. I hit him on the BlackBerry all the way through the playoffs. There’s a big trail of e-mails that we have where I’m almost like a coach on the sidelines for him ’cause…that’s my little brother! I’m giving him advice, even outside of ‘Take the ball to the elbow and shoot.’ The psychology of what’s going on: That’s my role in his life.”

In the ongoing LeBron James DeShawn Stevenson beef, Jay Z responds to Stevenson’s LeBron Is Overrated comments. As part owner of the Nets, Jay Z is certainly working all the angles for a free agent LeBron James in 2010.

Some guys will say anything about their opponent, enter DeShawn “Ain’t did nothin in the league yet” Stevenson. With his latest comments on Lebron James after last nights contest.

DeShawn was obviously holding back in that session with reporters around his locker. When he was leaving the building, Mike Lee was chatting him up and mentioned LeBron again. DeShawn has obviously heard enough of that. “He’s overrated,” DeShawn told Mike. “And you can say I said that.” Wow. Bet the King won’t like that one. Here’s hoping that the Wiz manage to jump ahead of Toronto and grab that fifth spot so these teams meet again.

My advice if I’m Mike Brown to Stevenson would be “Stick to growing beards and living off the time because of injury your getting on the floor”.  If these two teams meet up in the playoffs mark my words, Lebron’s season average will increase by at least 10 in the series.  In Stevenson spare time he must also like poking at actually uncaged Lions.
