Michael Clarke Duncan is a huge man who could probably crush a Walnut with his eye lash and he’s a Clippers fan which means dude has a lot of heart — a lot. During the Bucks vs. Clippers telecast, Mark Jackson decided to share the “dine-n-dash” tale of his good buddy MCD who happened to be sitting courtside about two seats down from Jackson. Read More »

How would it not be awesome to play for the Phoenix Suns? As long as you have one arm, two legs and can hit open jump shots you have a good chance of averaging at least 12 points per game with Steve Nash at the point.

Plus, their team flights look pretty damn fun too.

When you see Denzel Washington, you think Goran Dragic right? Neither do I, but Dragic does.

When broadcaster Scott Williams asked a few Suns players which actor would best portray them in a motion picture about their life. Jared Dudley said Will Smith, Steve Nash picked Sean Penn, GM Steve Kerr demanded the outstanding Rick Schroder, Channing Frye envisioned a Nick Cannon and Denzel Washington’s genetically impossible love child, Dan Majerle chose Woody Harrelson (good choice), Louis Admundson selected Steven Seagal (clearly), assistant coach John Shumate wanted Morgan Freeman, and coach Alvin Gentry, Jason Richardson, along with Goran Dragic all casted Denzel Washington for their biopic. Yes, that last part you read correctly.

Maybe as a back up option, John Krasinski should be ready to roll if this sucker ever gets made, because clearly Denzel Washington is too short for the role and even more importantly — his Slovene is horrible.

As long as Ray Allen is alive, not a day will pass by without somebody calling him Jesus Shuttlesworth, which is of course the character Allen played in one of the best basketball movies of all-time, He Got Game.

Now thanks to Freshnes, you too can feel like your a Coney Island native, have a girlfriend named LaLa and a dad with a decent jumper played by Denzel Washington. Cop yours here.

Back in 1985 Mars Blackmon became the main pitchman for Air Jordans commercials. Did you know?, Did you know?,  Did you know?  Now as a proper tribute to the Michael Jordan and Spike Lee relationship, Nike has released the Jordan Spiz’ike Mars Blackmon edition. Read More »

LeBron James has been omnipresent these days and now that presence has a tune.

Since the title track “Forever” from the “More Than A Game” soundtrack  hit / leaked into the streets a few weeks back. LeBron James has stepped up his intergalactic presence with the help of Drake, Kanye West, Lil‘Wayne and Eminem.

Enter Hype Williams who created the video for “Forever” which by the way, according to Kanye West is one of the greatest videos of all-time, and LeBron James mania is now bubbling to a new all-time off-season high.

LeBron James continues to make his globe rounds promoting the very good “More Than A Game” film that will hit shelves pretty soon. Over the last few weeks LeBron James has been everywhere and that includes France. Is it possible that the stock of LeBron James has risen to heights never seen before in basketball?

I’m thinking, yes!

Today as technology continues to sabotage me by snatch my mic away to tell you that Beyonce had one of the best videos of all-time. I’ll try my best to keep the show rolling without the help of a Tracy Morgan pre-recorded sketch. Last year “More Than A Game” debuted at the TIFF, and now it’ll be ready to debut in your DVD player October 2nd.

In the interview LeBron James discusses what this film means to him, talks about his teammates, and the music inspired by the film.

And action…

Last year around this time at the Toronto International Film Festival, director Kristopher Belman premiered his documentary “More Than a Game“ about LeBron James and four of his talented teammates through the trials and tribulations of high school basketball in Ohio and James’ journey to fame.

The More Than A Game DVD is due out on October 2nd, 2009, but it’s the soundtrack for the movie that’s creating all kinds of buzz right now because of its first single featuring Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem titled “Forever”.

Peep it out!

Ever watch a Lakers game and see those seats that are ridiculously close to the players and coaching staffs bench? Well after appearing in a bunch of successful movies such as Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Funny People. Jonah Hill, now has access to those ridiculous tickets through his agent, but it ain’t all gravy having them.

During one game, Hill recalled, the HBO comedy “Curb Your Enthusiasm” was filming and the crew asked Hill if it could briefly use Hill’s seats. Hill moved two seats over, waited for the film crew to complete its business, then moved back to his original seat.

“All of a sudden,” Hill said, “Phil Jackson, who’s never looked in our direction, turns to us and says, ‘Hey, this isn’t musical chairs! Next time you move around during a play I’ll kick you . . . out of here!’

Now that’s Prutttttty, Prutttttty, prrrrut un-Zen Master like.
