I agree with First Cuts, I like the shirt.
Smooth moves by Common on there too, but who’s cooler than Boom Dizzle? (Certainly not Diz Gibran, the M.C.)
For the love of pete, vote for Baron to be in NBA JAM.
I was going to spend my self-allotted blogging time today writing haiku about NFL Wildcard weekend, but then the levee broke and EA announced the glorious return of NBA JAM for Wii - you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for playoff poetics.
“NBA JAM is one of the most recognizable franchises in videogame history,” said Peter Moore, President, EA SPORTS. “Diehard fans of the original game have been asking for a remake for more than a decade. We’re very excited to give them their wish this year with the return of this iconic franchise.”
Forget Namath’s daughter. Forget McGwire on steroids (thanks for the heads up, Capt. Obvious). Forget Ochocinco’s truck on steroids. This is the sports story of the day.
In a fun little twist, EA is letting you vote on which three players you’d like to be featured for the Kings, Clippers and Thunder. For instance, on the Clips, you can pick between Baron Davis, Blake Griffin, Al Thornton, Chris Kaman and Eric Gordon and Marcus Camby.
EA should probably just start working on the beard renderings now, because I don’t think Boom Dizzle has to worry that much about getting picked for BOOM-SHAKA-LAKA, the next generation. However, if I’m Baron, should I be somewhat offended that they’re putting it to a vote? He’s a ten year vet in the midst of serious 2010 campaign. And yes, there are some electric young guns to choose from here (and one older gentleman), but Baron is an established star, plus he has 2-3 other nicknames with the word boom in them.
For the record, I voted for Davis, Blake Griffin, and Camby for nostalgia.
Lamar and Khloe tied the knock this weekend. (4 months; at least one very regrettable spin-off series.)
There were some real winners in attendance - Kelly Osbourne and Stuttering John Melendez’ gut.
But no one at the nuptials had swagger like Baron Davis.
I’m no fashion persona myself, but to quote my man Frank Slaughtery, did the ladies ever tell you you look like a f***ing optical illusion?
(H/T at J.E. “heartache to heartache” Skeets for this one)
A thief nabbed Baron Davis’ laptop recently, and apparently the computer contains some very private content that he’d rather not see the light of day. This prompted Baron to have his legal team send a preemptive strike of a letter to media outlets - the tone of the piece is so help me if you release these (in legal speak). Check it out at The Smoking Gun.
AUGUST 12–A laptop containing “a variety of private images” of NBA star Baron Davis has been stolen and the athlete’s lawyers are threatening legal action if the material is published. Counsel for the the Los Angeles Clippers guard, a two-time All-Star and novice film producer, yesterday sent news outlets a letter threatening legal action over the personal photos, videos, and audio stored on the computer.
For those in possession of the laptop and the TMZ’s of the world who would like to get a look at , forget the 12 million in salary Baron makes to afford top legal brass, he just produced a documentary about the Crips & Bloods.
If I was media that made deals with hoods, I wouldn’t tango with BD (and any source material he’s got looking out for him), but, of course Perez Hilton would - his advice: Scandalicious!!!..Whoever has got those goodies, get them out there quick! The world is officially waiting!
Wait a second here, when did Baron Davis make a movie called CRIPS & BLOODS: MADE IN AMERICA?
That is foolish, yet outstanding. And award-winning evidently.
Some strong endorsements from the Hip-Hop community - Lil’ Wayne (see it or don’t see it…just know it’s important) and Snoop Dog (my nephew, Baron Davis, yeah, the All-Star point guard…).
Narrated by Forest Whitaker, directed by Z-Boy Stacy Peralta (Dogtown & The Z-Boys) and Executive Produced by Baron Davis, Crips & Bloods is currently playing at the IFC Theatre in New York City.
