Another hip hop heist

Add "Yung Berg" to the list of (wack) rappers who have gotten their chain snatched. Once again, the thief has proudly posted an image (youtube video bragging about it sure to come soon) of himself with the stolen chain on the internet. If you have no idea who Yung Berg is, don't worry, you are not alone. There's got to be some kind of black market for stolen rapper jewelry.

DMX sharing his feelings with the judge

Yesterday DMX was denied bail by a Miami judge, so he advised the judge that ... actually, I can't understand what he's saying (no surprise there) but the judge didn't appreciate it.

RIP Kevin Duckworth

Two-time All-Star Kevin Duckworth died Monday night. It sounds like a heart attack or something similar.

I was saddened when I heard the news this morning. I've never met the man, nor have I ever been a Portland Trailblazers fan, but Kevin was from my alma mater, Eastern Illinois University. It's not a school renowned for its athletic tradition, and prior to Tony Romo's emergence, Duckworth was its most successful pro athlete alum.

I realize that's not saying much about the school, but it says a lot about Duckworth. He wasn't much of a prospect coming out of college, but fashioned a solid career out of hard work and teamwork. He averaged 11.8 points and 5.8 rebounds over 11 seasons in the League, and got to the Finals twice. He was the league's most improved player in 1987-88. Not bad for a second-round pick who was traded after 14 games his rookie year.

But not only do I have love for Duck because of the college ties, but because he was from where I'm from. He was born in Harvey, a decimated south suburb of Chicago. My sister was born there, I joined the Marines there ... I even got my ass whipped by police there. He went to Thornridge High, which also graduated basketball lifer Quinn Buckner, NBA journeyman Sam Mack and movie critic Richard Roeper.

He was a South Side success story, and one of the most beloved players in Trailblazer history, which is saying something, given how passionate fans are about that team. In fact, he was on a goodwill tour for the team when he died. People from Harvey to Charleston, Ill., to Portland will testify to his generous nature and kindness to everyone he met. He was beloved at Eastern not just for his athletic success, but his classy representation of our tiny school.

So here's to the "gentle giant" with the giant heart. If there's a heaven, Duck, you've surely been welcomed there with open arms.

Daily Dunk: Derrick Coleman

Yes, D.C. was a colossal waste of talent. Yes, if he had any drive at all he'd be polishing up his Hall of Fame speech right now and not appearing on "Pros Vs. Joes." Yes, he's a poster child for that overused phrase "wasted potential."

However, he was still a good player in his time, and he welcomed some rookie named Shaquille O' Neal to the league with this posterization.

America's favorite swimmer enjoys the water during her time off, too. No report on who the lucky bastard holding her hand is.

Is Diddy busto?

Here's a vlog from Diddy about how he has to fly commercial now because gas prices are too high to fly in his private jet from NY to L.A. twice a month.

Poor guy. I'm sure he turned in his Bentley for a Civic too.

The Jordan hybrids are officially here. These first ones are a mix between the 2's and 3's and... I hate these, but there are some people who are fans.

Phil Ivey gets his 2-3 offsuit cracked by Kings in second hand of Legends of Poker

I'm very puzzled by this one...

From cardplayer.com:

"Phil Ivey has already busted out of the tournament. He open shoved blind with 4-3 and then 3-2 in attempts to double up for the day because he had somewhere he had to be for a few hours. The open shove with 3-2 did not go so well for Ivey, as he ran into pocket kings. This is the first major poker tournament in Southern California for Ivey since the L.A. Poker Classic in February. His result in that tournament was decidedly different, he won $1,596,100 and his first WPT title."

Jojo bites it, K-Ci carries on

While performing in Australia, Jojo of former R&B powerhouse Jodecie, collapsed as his brother K-Ci looked at him and carried on the performance. Hmm. He barely even flinched.

Take a look. Something ain't right.



Here's a link to K-Ci speaking on what happened (lol).

This should be epic but the only person that came with some heat was T.I. Pretty disappointing in my opinion. Supposedly coming out on T.I.'s album.

Nike Zoom Lebron VI

More redeem team...

These are supposed to be the lightest Lebron's yet, not sure when they're releasing. In my opinion these are pretty fresh, maybe not to kick it in but they look like good hoop shoes.
