All Star Wrap It Up

1. NBA Allstar weekend
Ebizz: Overall it was everything i figured it would be, but i still wanted alot better. Maybe if the competitions were as fun to watch as the dunk contest it would be more entertaining for me. But Charles Barkley is hilarious. Whats was Kanye thinking about with those tight ass jeans on??  and Shouts out to Rhianna and that itty bitty skirt tho.
DProfessor: Best part of the weekend was the commentary from Charles, Kenny and the crew. If Barkley had a reality show, I would watch it religiously. From Charles clowning Justin Beiber, to doing the dougie, I was throughly entertained. All Star weekend did live up to the hype. Better than any other sports hands down. Kanye - please take off those jeggins. Not a good look - Management.

2. Three Point contest
Ebizz: I thought Ray would win but that Jones dude came thru in the end. I guess that bout all he is good for anyways.
DProfessor: Too bad Jones isn't clutch. He hasnt hit a game winner ever has he? Eddie House has demonstrated his uncanny eye for the big shot.
3.Dunk Contest

DProfessor: I would have like to see Derozan vs Blake for the finale. McGee had some nice gimmick dunks but you just figured they would run out soon. McGee under the basket was extra nice. The finale overall was a let down. The dunk over the car was ooookkk. For all the preaching that Kenny Smith was doing, I thought Moses Griffin was gonna split the red sea. I will say this, the best man won. Blake Griffin jumps with bad intentions. He sucks the air straight out the room. He is violent.
Ebizz: I was very impressed by the quality of dunks and the extra theatrics as well. JaVelle McGee had the dunk with two balls and two hoops. Blake Griffin got handed the award from the home team. But no complaints from me. Maybe next year we can get some stars involved. LeBron nutted up and did not get in this year after saying he would.

4.Other Competitions
DProfessor:I liked the thought of Horse, but the execution is not TV ready. People have to be able to talk big game playing horse, and by talking $hit, I mean curse words and expletives. How about an All Star Draft like the NHL were they have two captains and they pick 2 teams that way.
Ebizz: A bunch of crap to me. Gotta get one on one, a dunk on a chump competition or something better than the mess we are forced to watch now. It is becoming more painful by the year to sit thru these silly events.

5.Allstar Game
Ebizz: It was not that flashy type of game I was expecting to see overall. Kobe was business as usual as I expected to see. Derrick Rose is always impressive.
DProfessor: It was great to see the Heatles and Celtics get along. lol
6. NBA second half surprise team
DProfessor: Not to say that they will do anything in the playoffs but how about Golden State and Indiana Pacers? Both teams finally figuring out how to play with each other and getting healthy. Again, they wont win a playoff series but they will tire one of these old teams out.
Ebizz: I wanna say the Spurs. They cannot keep playing at this amazing level....... Or can they? 

7. Carmelo moves?
Ebizz: I would love to see him with the Knicks, but apparently he does really care if its Knicks or Nets. Winning a championship seems not to be priority number one. Only if he was headed to Los Angelos........
DProfessor: For him to get the Knicks or Nets of all their talent instead of waiting until offseason is clearly a sign that these guys are scared it will be a lockout. Dumb move unless its strictly about the money.
8. Black Mamba, DWade and Kevin Hart, Cp3 Nike commercials
Ebizz: There was a time when alot of effort was put into creating basketball shoe commercials and hopefully this is the start of that again. I finally saw the lil mini Black Mamba movie and that it was tight. I like those shoes as well. Dwade thinks he is a black James Bond... but i like this idea as well.
DProfessor: Those commercials are cool but this is my favorite commercial right now. 


9. Ohio State on the road???
DProfessor: Nobody wins at Wisconsin. Noboby. 
Ebizz: They have been showing that they are human. On the road anyone can be beat, but this is when they are supposed to show they are elite. Win now loose later I guess, but I think they are OVERRATED..

10. What have you been listening to lately???
Ebizz: Pharoahe Monch - Calculated Amalgamation, Still Standing ft Jill Scott dope trackx.
DProfessor: I been listening to Kidz Bop 18. They jamming on there. Some Black Eye Peas. Keeping it gangsta as usual.
Xtra credit
Ebizz: Kenny Smith has a very very hot ass wife. This Spartacus mini series is on point!
DProfessor: Kenny Smith wins. Hand down man down. Apparently she was on Price is Right. 

Spot me 10

1. NBA Allstar team Snubs West
Ebizz: Kevin Love sticks out. He should have been a definite. Others left out were Zach Randolph, Lamar Odom, Monte Ellis, and Lamarcus Aldridge. All these guys are having career seasons. Guess they can't win the popularity contest.

DProfessor: They had to choose between Kevin Love and Blake Griffin....I would say they got that right. But I still think Love makes the team as the Yao Ming replacement. Since it is an all-star game, I would rather see a more flashy player in Monta Ellis. Ellis is 3rd in scoring, can light it up and is the Russell Westbrook of the Bay.



2.NBA Allstar team Snubs East
Ebizz: I think they actually got it right in this case. I cant think of too many other players who should have made this squad.

DProfessor: I would have to agree. The superteams are all represented in full. Team looks like the next Drake song of BosMiamiLanta.


3. Add a little excitement to the Allstar game
Ebizz: How about one on one between two voted players or something. Maybe even bring back Rock N Jock Basketball. Anything is better the crap we have to sit threw now. The NBA dunk contest rules have changed for the worse as well.

DProfessor: I have the perfect ideas that would appease the women and make everybody play hard. The winner gets to pick 4 people off the losing team who has to volunteer for the next year of Real All Star Baby Mommas on VH1. I bet that would light some fire under that game.


4. Favorite NBA Allstar dunk
Ebizz: Dwight Howard with the super-jump dunk wearing the cape also EVERY dunk Vinsanity did lol

DProfessor: Nique, MJ, Vince, TMac, JRichardson. But the one that stands out is Spud Webb. Spud had everybody under 5'8 thinking dunking was the ultimate goal.




5. Upcoming NBA trades
Ebizz: Melo should be outta Denver pretty soon. Maybe Rip Hamilton, Igudola, Danny Granger. No one is really budging at the moment it seems though.

DProfessor: Teams probably dont want to make any real moves since their will be a lockout next year anyway. Most of the key trade bait are older players and Melo justs want to go to NY.




6. Orlando Talks $h1t, Can't Stop LeBron
DProfessor: In the words of Katt Williams, thats what you get for talking Yiiittt. LeBron is the Tiger. I'm just saying. The analogy goes well. Real tiger = LeBron....fake habitat = Cleveland. Could have easily went for 60 and triple double.

Ebizz: Speechless...........Stan Van Gundy aka Ron Jeremy admitted that their team is not championship caliber.

7. Gucci Mane Tattoo??
Ebizz: Well it got him a shoutout for his 31st bday on ESPN. Tyson said he like going to war and Gucci Mane likes to be licked on. Could not have said it better. I remember a couple of years ago when everybody hated him. I miss those days. The tattoo sucks just about as bad as his music does.

DProfessor: I was in utter shock that Gucci La Flare, aka Bricksquad aka Gucci Montana made a respectable show as PTI. That being said, the tat is beyond stupid. Tats are overboard nowadays anyway. But I respect Gucci, as far as the best of the worst rappers go, the Gucci is my go-to-guy. Besides, he has about 147 mixtapes this month alone. He took the Master P approach and blew it out the Ice Cream truck.



8. Favorite new show
DProfessor: Southland and Spartacus are back. Another cool show is Parenthood, well because I am one.

Ebizz: Shameless and Lights Out. Both are pretty good so far....




9. Luke for Mayor in MIA
Ebizz: He would get my vote instantly. Maybe I need to move back down there........

DProfessor: Now that would be worth going to the victory party. Hell, Luke would probably throw a party if he lost.



10. Haynesworth punched fellow motorist
Ebizz: I wish it was his coach he punched instead.

DProfessor: Maybe the motorist said he was an overpaid overweight bastard driving over the line. I smell donuts from Fat Albert's car and a lawsuit coming from the other guy.



Bonus Random Thoughts

Ebizz: Right now Im jamming Bruno Mars ft. Damien Marley - Liquor Store Blues.

DProfessor: Cold chicken still tastes like chicken

Happy Black History Month
