Victor Oladipo and fellow 2013 NBA Draftees answer silly questions.


Okay, it's official. Victor Oladipo is now my favorite player in the 2013 draft class. Not only does he have the funnest last name, he uses Fresh Prince of Bel-Air pick-up lines and can sing a perfect rendition of Usher's "U Got It Bad." This man is stealing my heart.

Got to say, it's pretty weird to see one of the biggest and most successful franchises, who has a quite a track record with free agents, beg a player to stay in L.A., because that normally doesn't happen too often. And if this fails, the Lakers will be a huge mess, until the Summer of 2014 that is.

Do all left handed guards play the same, or do they all watch some kind of mandatory Manu Ginobili basketball tutorial tapes at birth? Probably the latter, right? And if so, where can I get my hands on those tapes? I NEED TO KNOW OF ITS EXISTENCE. I am left handed, by the way, but I do this weird thing where I shoot the basketball right handed, sort of like Larry Bird, which is kind of cool, and not really, because I am not all that great.

Hypothesis: From the research I have conducted over this NBA season, it seems like the headband is not simply just an accessory to cover up LeBron's receding hairline, it is in fact an inhibitory device that keeps the cyborg's power under control. And if any of my fictional numbers were correct, a longer than designed exposure of the creature's forehead would mean the end of mankind.

Getting a little ahead ourselves, aren't we? Nike does know that if the Spurs win tonight, these shoes are going straight in to the recycling bin (I am Canadian, everything gets recycled here, EVERYTHING), right?  Which is not all bad, not that I want LeBron to lose or anything (I actually feel bad for the dude), but they are hideous and no one should ever fork up $200 bucks for it. No one except for Craig Sager, those will go great with a matching jacket.

Dwight Howard isn't leaving for Houston because Metta World Peace has him by the balls.


Yes, those were Metta's exact words. From CSN Houston:
When asked about the Lakers center who is about to be a free agent, World Peace said, “Well, he’s not going to Houston, I tell you that. 
“You know how those horses have those little things, ties in a bullfight, you tie those things to their balls and they go crazy? I’ve got two of those tied to Dwight Howard’s testicles, so he can’t move.” 
After massive laughter, Sportsradio 610′s Mike Meltser asked, “So you think Dwight is definitely staying in LA?” 
“He can’t move,” World Peace answered. “If he does, it’ll be painful. So he can’t go nowhere.”

Danny Green shatters Ray Allen's NBA Finals three point record.


Guys, I think we are about to witness something totally different from what we expected. With the Spurs leading the Heat, 3 games to 2 in the NBA Finals, and just one victory away from the championship title, Danny Green could possibly end up as the NBA Finals MVP. He already erased Ray Allen's 2008 NBA record for the most threes made in the Finals, hitting 25 of 38 in the just the fifth game of the series, while Allen shot 22 for 42 to set his record in the six game Celtics-Lakers series. Man, no matter how it ends, this is going down to be one of weirdest endings to a NBA season. Let's just hope it won't end on any blowouts. I think we have had enough of those.

How's those threes taste, Ray Allen?

Birdmom share many similarities -- height, a laid back attitude and an affinity for tattoos. Holubec's legs are lined with colorful ink-filled flowers. She took her son to get his first tattoo. 
"I think I paid for the first four! It was supposed to have been just one," said Holubec.
Dudes, do you know what would happen to me if I was to get a tattoo, (not that I want one or anything, I can't even stand sharpie ink on my skin. The only exception were those crayola washables, those were awesome and completely regret-free) but I can guarantee you that my parents would have grabbed anything near them, sit me newly inked side up, beat me until the skin slowly splits open, remove it and show it to my brother as a warning. Okay, maybe this is a little exaggerated, I actually have no idea how they would react, it doesn't mean the situation described above can be entirely ruled out as a very real possibility, though. Trust me, I know my parents.
