Ho Down! Inside LeBron James’ Party At Tao

SINCE WE KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO BE TRIPPIN’ ON HARD LEGS (WE DON’T BELIEVE IN $100 HANDSHAKES), WE SENT LA ROSA NEGRA UNDERCOVER INTO THE NOW INFAMOUS LEBRON JAMES PARTY AT THE VENETIAN’S TAO NIGHTCLUB LAST SATURDAY. MS. NEGRA WAS MORE THAN WILLING TO CONDUCT WHAT SHE DEEMED NECESSARY SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. THIS IS HER STORY:

The formula was easy; you take the city famous for throwing the most crackingest parties in the world, add a host that just happens to be the greatest athlete in the world, and things are bound to be poppin’. It’s not often LeBron graces us regular people with his presence, so when I got word that he would be in Vegas popping bottles all weekend, I knew this would be big.

Our room’s were booked,  bags were packed and in a hot miami second we were en route from LA to V town, cuz thats how we do. Saturday night LeBron was to be at Tao inside the Venetian, I knew we should probably get there early, but as usual, my girl was lagging like a fat kid during a conditioning test. Understandable though, it takes time to get ready to see a King.

I didnt want to risk not getting in the club to shake my ass with LeBron, but alls well that ends well, because thats just what we did.  The biggest obstacle of the night was by far finding our way through the masses of groupies (both male and female) that filled up the enitre lobby.

Normal when it’s merely 2 above average looking chicks trying to get in where they fit in, maneuvering you’re way into the club is as easy as Sunday mornings. But not when the King is in town…

Holler Back: Lorenzen Wright’s Body Found

The Commercial Appeal is reporting that Memphis Police have confirmed that a body found behind the Fieldstone Apartments in Southwind, is that of former NBA baller Lorenzen Wright, who had been missing since Sunday. Police officials classified their investigation as a “death investigation,” after Wright’s body was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds.

At the home of Wright’s ex-wife Sherra Robinson Wright, whom he was visiting along with his children before disappearing, sounds of crying and wailing could be heard outside. Several family members and friends, including Penny Hardaway and Elliot Perry are gathered near the Fieldstone Apartments in Southwind.

According to the Collierville Police report released today, Wright was likely to have  a large amount of cash on him, and may have been the victim of foul play. There is also a 911 hangup from his phone on the morning of the disappearance that has raised concerned amongst investigators.

Austin Rivers Will Be Nicer Than The Doc

At 6′4 and 190 pounds, Doc’s son is widely considered as the best lead guard in the nation.  He has had a meteoric rise to the top of this years class, and it likely he will attend Duke next season. Austin  has an endless arsenal of pull-up off the dribble moves going either way, superior handles and deep 3pt range.

He can play 1 or 2, has a tremendous basketball IQ and goes to the basket hard, intending to dunk on defenders.  His mid-range game is nice, and he has an array of floaters and runners that are very effective.

He dropped 42 on Brandon Knight and 45 on St.Benedicts Prep last season as a junior at Winter Park(Fla.) High School. The kid is a BEAST.

Celebrity Fit Chick: Christina Milian = Thicky Ricardo

Hamburger! We knew Christina Milian was working with something spectacular, but we didn’t know that she was working with all of this. Good googly moogly, that thang is juicier than a Jack LaLane concoction. Milian looks just as good from the back as she does from the front.

LOL: Why Pool Dunking & Alcohol Don’t Mix

It’s pretty hard to miss a pool dunk from literally 5 feet away…unless of course you are a little faded off of that numb numb juice (think Ninja turtles). Besides failing at the pool dunk, this dude manages to also let a considerable amount of water splash out of the pool with his horrendous dive.

Get it together bro.

Maurice Clarett Returns To Ohio State

(Guess that thing about the SI Cover jinx is pretty legit.)

Maurice Clarett is a maligned yet significant figure in NCAA and NFL history.  The 2005 third-round pick of the Broncos, starred as a freshman at Ohio State and then sued the NFL to gain early entry into the league. Clarett lost his case and failed miserably in his only opportunity to make the team.  He was later imprisoned on robbery and gun charges, and spent 3 years of his life behind bars.

Now 26, Clarett will never play football again but he is a star player in the game of life. Clarett has re-enrolled at The Ohio State University, and is working on his degree. Kudos to a  young man that became notorious for “getting his goose on” (drinking large quantities of grey goose vodka) during his playing days.

Now Clarett is trying get his graduation on, hopefully he has a few girls from back in the day still lingering around campus ready to provide quality knowledge. Clarett might be able to give them some brain in return, but he’d probably just like to be on the receiving end.

Yao Ming May Quit If Foot Feels Shady

Houston Rocket All-Star center Yao Ming is thinking about shutting it down…permanently. After missing last season with a foot injury, Ming told the Xinhua News Agency that doubts he will play in the 2012 Olympics, and is thinking about retiring from the NBA. Yao is entering his 8th season in the League and at only 29 years old, a decision to hang up the jersey may be a little premature.

The Rockets are confident that Yao will be able to make a strong return this season, despite his remarks to the contrary. While the team is concerned about the health of their once franchise center, they are only on the hook to pay Yao a shade under $18 mil next season and then his is a free agent.

Not too bad of a bill to foot (no pun intended) if Yao has to tap out.

Yao also took a jab at Chinese basketball officials, saying they were too focused on the Bejing Olympics and neglected developmental and professional leagues in China.

WTF? Ron Artest Interviews Ron Artest

Normally we are rolling with whatever Ron Artest does, but thanks to the good folks at ESPN, we’ve finally found something that we can’t really fux with. Artest has gained a reputation for producing some of you more hoodfab music videos, that for some reason you can’t help but watch and enjoy.

Artest participated in this video to promote his appearance on the cover of ESPN The Magazine so you can’t really hate, but we’d like to encourage Ron to stop letting squares at the World Wide Leader convince him to do stuff like this.
