Ghettooh: Steve Alford Calls BYU Player An A-Hole

What is it about the University of New Mexico that makes players and coaches want to get into some gangster ‘ish? First it was rookie football head coach Mike Locksley getting suspended for 10 days after choking out one of his assistant coaches. Then it was women’s soccer player Elizabeth Lambert debo’ing a player (coincidentally from BYU) during a loss in the Mountain West tourney. And now Steve Alford has joined the list after being caught on camera calling BYU senior forward Jonathan Tavernari an A-hole following the Lobos conference-clinching win Saturday night.

During the customary postgame handshakes, which are supposed to promote good sportsmanship, Alford and Tavernari got into a heated exchange as the coach followed the opposing player down the line as he was shaking hands. You can tell that Tavernari is the type of player that can definitely get under your skin, with a swag that could be mistaken for being a little too cocky. Tavernari tried to ease the tension by going into the Lobos locker room to apologize, but either way Alford is going to experience some moderate heat now that everybody has access to the tape.

The Mountain West is currently investigating the matter and guaranteed Alford will be forced to issue some form of public apology and be subject to reprimand by school officials. Alford’s punishment shouldn’t be too severe though because Tavernari really might be an A-hole and if Locksley only got 10 days for choking a dude and his team is nastier than all hell, then a Mountain West regular season title should only mean a slap on the wrist.

In The Face: Ryan Hollins Bangs On Nenad Krstic

Dunk Score: 9.5

Ryan Hollins may be something like a 7-footer, but he still gets up like a Disney/Pixar movie. Hollins has made a name for himself in the League for giving dudes facials and this was the case Friday when the T-Wolves took on the Thunder. Nenad Krstic should have knew better than to try and go chest-to-chest with Hollins, but then again Krstic is a foreigner so he already has a penchant for getting yammed on.

WTF? Former NBA Star Busted For Pimping Minor

Former NBA star Alvin Robertson, the 7th overall pick in the 1984 NBA Draft, was arrested on charges of sexual assault of a child and sex trafficking after a 14 year old girl claim that Robertson and 6 other way-too thirsty dudes (allegedly) kidnapped her and forced her to dance at a strip club and turn tricks, which apparently aren’t really for kids. Robertson was selected to 4 All-Star games during his career and is one of only a handful of players to ever record a quadruple-double in an NBA game.

Lil’ Wayne once said, “body of a woman so her age meant nothing,” but in America (minus Hawaii where pretty much anything goes) this couldn’t be any further from the truth. Especially when you consider that Robertson has already done hard time for getting too violent with one of his boos back in the late 90’s and almost went back to jail in 2002 after getting Kobe’d before Kobe (if you can dig).

This whole story sounds crazier than a bird, why the hell would 7 people, including Robertson, who is something like a legend in the San Antonio area where he played with the Spurs, try to kidnap a young beezy and put her on the track? Common sense would have dictated that this probably wasn’t a good idea, but until more information is released, no one can be sure what really went down.

Haterade: Tiger Woods Gets Dropped By Gatorade

After giving something like a heartfelt public address less than 2 weeks ago it appeared that Tiger Woods was on the verge of getting his marketability mojo back, after acknowledging that he was thirsty for decent-to-dime side boos. Sadly, Tiger’s mojo took a bit hit Friday when Gatorade announced that they were joining Accenture and AT&T as major brands to sever ties with what use to be their bottom beezy.

Whilst being thirsty isn’t an uncommon attribute for any dude, Tiger was able to capitalize on his thirst with the ultimate aphrodisiac–cheese. It probably didn’t help that he was mashing the really lighter shade of brown, which incites saltiness in an underestimated amount of “haters” across the globe. All I’m saying is if Tiger was banging fat black chicks, people wouldn’t be tripping as hard.

On the bright side, both Nike and Gillette (temporarily not rolling until the block cools down) have decided to keep breaking bread with Tiger, who is due for one of those comebacks that America is known for (see Kobe, Manny Ramirez). All it will take is a few wins and he will be welcomed back with open arms. Only losers don’t recover from a setback like this.

Boo Spotting: Kim Kardashian Wearing Booty Pants

Reggie Bush’s boo was spotted (as usual) mashing around the Greater Los Angeles area wearing some of those booty pants that can even make a girl with no cheeks look like Serena. But not in Kim’s case, because her cheek game is buttoned up like a super-duper remote control. Whenever Ms. Kardashian takes it to the concrete, you know dudes (and a few beezies) are going to break their neck like Christopher Reeve trying to get an up close and personal glimpse to see what’s really good.

Check out some more pics of Kim, including a few displaying a solid moose knuckle, after the jump…

LOL: ESPN Crank-Yanked By Fake Brian Westbrook

After the Eagles released their (once) stud running back Brian Westbrook Tuesday, ESPN spent most of the early evening promoting a phone convo that they were going to have with Westbrook live on Sportscenter. Unfortunately the World Wide Leader was the victim of one of your sicker ookie dokes in recent history. The gag was evident almost immediately after anchor Scott Van Pelt introduced (who he thought was) Westbrook on the line and the voice that began talking sounded something like a Jersey meathead.

It was none other than Captain Janks, a Howard Stern flunky who has made a name for himself impersonating people to get on television, whilst always dropping a Stern reference at some point to let the network that foolishly put him on the air know that they have been had. The fact that someone could

Sick Kicks: Nike Hyperdunk Aston Martin Edition

Being the 2nd-best player in the NBA does come with a few extra benefits, like these special edition Hyperdunks designed for Kobe Bryant by the good folks at Aston Martin. These limited edition kicks (only 500 pairs will be made) won’t hit the shelves but are available for pre-order for those lucky few with enough cheese to cop these. The shoes are scheduled to make their debut sometime this spring, so definitely be on the look out for these joints.

All this means is that King James should have a pair of his kicks designed by Bugatti, because they are way sicker than Aston Martin, which is still really, really good though. Via O Sneaker

Sick Shot: Kobe Returns And Hits Game-Winner

After that shady ankle injury caused Kobe to miss the last 5 games, plus the All-Star festivities, the legend came back like 2-3, hitting this clutch game-winning 3-pointer with his squad down 2. Kobe didn’t look too rusty after the time off putting up 32 points, 7 rebounds and 6 dimes, and it didn’t hurt that it was against the Grizzlies. The Lake Show minus Kobe looked decent but with him back in the lineup they look like contenders once again. With the Cavs nasty interesting trade still needing to work play itself out the 2nd-best dude in the League, now has the top squad for the time being.
