Lil’ Romeo Drops New Music Video

When he isn’t busy moonlighting as the richest college basketball player in NCAA history, Lil’ Romeo does find time to stick to his day job as a rapper/actor. Since USC is on probation this season anyway and can’t participate in the postseason (may not have made a difference) Romeo decided to hit the studio to record a remix of the Meek Millz “Willy Wonka” track. Romeo is pretty solid on this track and the music video is decent, but it looks like a class project or something you could have found on BET Uncut back in the day.

WTF! Did Kobe Try To Grab Matt Barnes’ Meat?

Now I’m not saying that Kobe likes men, but this whole grab other dude’s meat thing has to come to an end. A little over a week after getting caught double-poking Andre Iguodala’s wanker, it appears that Kobe was at it again during his game-long feud with Magic forward Matt Barnes Sunday. The pair went at it all game long, getting in each other’s faces repeatedly and both men went out of their way to deliver a few bumps and courtesy elbows, whilst talking an abundance of heat.

Kobe definitely crossed the line during the 3rd quarter when following a Barnes tip-jam Bryant tried to throw his forearm in the generally direction of Barnes’ nether region. Noticing that Kobe’s arm came a little too close for comfort, Barnes reacts almost instantaneously, thrusting himself in Kobe’s general direction and proceeding to get all up in his grill. At first glance it may have appeared that Barnes flung himself in Kobe’s direction after the dunk to gloat, but the reality is that he was pissed that his manhood was being endangered.

Kobe may have just been putting his arm up to shield himself from Barnes’ landing, but after reviewing the video it looks like he makes a conscious effort to hit Barnes in the balls. This move is becoming far too common for Bryant and needs to be addressed. Coincidentally John Amaechi is sitting somewhere smiling, remembering all the “accidental” meat grabs that he amassed throughout his career. He probably has a woody.

In The Face: High School Edition

Dunk Score: 9.7

Now what we have right here is Pierre Warren, a senior guard at Marbury High School in Alabama, banging all over the life of some unsuspecting square. Warren is a beast and at only 6′1, has a boost that you can’t help but respect. Basketball is Warren’s 2nd sport as he is more known for his exploits on the football field, committing to Jacksonville State last month where he will join his older brother Wesley, who is also a member of the football team.

This video claims that this dunk is Warren’s last high school field goal and if so, he definitely went out on top. The dude he banged on was completely demoralized, and appears to fall on his face immediately after getting sharted on. Somebody please wipe that dude’s face asap.

Tis Tough: Iverson Has Gambling & Drinking Problems

We just said damn. After his somewhat triumphant return to Philly was abruptly ended by what was called a “family issue,” specifically an illness to Iverson’s 4 year old daughter, A.I.’s media Consigliere Stephen A. Smith relayed the news to the masses on ESPN a few days ago, that the Legend is suffering from both alcohol and gambling problems and needs to be prayed for. Iverson’s boo also filed for divorce recently, which can only make the situation worse. It’s never easy losing your boo and career in less than a week span and sometimes not even a bunch of cheese and hang-out guys can ease the pain like that bottle or hollering at the casino.

Stephen A. Smith has assumed the duty as Iverson’s voice to the media, as the Legend has been pretty low key since bouncing from the Sixers, minus the occasional night of bottle-popping, much like Smith aided Iverson in announcing his preemptive retirement back in November. Smith looked a little shaken when speaking about Iverson’s issues and trying to help others really understand what he is going through.

It always sucks when what use to merely be “Getting It Crackin,” becomes a problem in need of an intervention. Reminds me of the movie Boogie Nights, with Iverson assuming a role similar to Dirk Diggler after his meat was no longer Grade A. It’s difficult making the fall from grace, especially in Iverson’s case with a soon to be ex-wife with 5 kids to get cheese for. All that means is that she is playing for big chips, no pun intended.

Iverson released what can be considered a statement Monday night via Twitter, acknowledging that he is going through some tough times in a series of tweets:

To my fans: You all know that my life isn’t perfect. I am going through some very tough times right now, like I am sure that we all do from time to time. However, I will stand tall like always with “rhino” thick skin. Even though I have become used to hearing people say things about me that aren’t true, it still hurts. I encourage you to continue your ongoing support and I want you to trust that this is another obstacle in my life that, with God’s help I will overcome. God Bless You All.

Julius Peppers Pops Champagne As Thanks To Chicago

As a solid entrance to his new home in the windy city, former Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers took it to the concrete Saturday night, getting his grub on with Lovie Smith and former Viking Chester Taylor and buying 25 bottles of Perrier Jouet Fleur at more $350 a pop at Crescendo, a Chicago hotspot no doubt filled with every level of beezy. Needless to say Peppers feels on top of the world after signing one of the richest contracts in NFL history, and shaking the spot in Carolina, where he was hit with the franchise tag, known for making many aging football stars salty like some pickle juice.

Peppers contract is pretty fire and desire, 6 years for damn near $92 million, of which he will at least see a solid 40-piece, that can buy all the biscuits a man could ever want. With an on paper net worth close to 9 figures, Peppers is now legendary but must be careful because he is now on the radar of your upper-echelon dime, side boo or late night, operating in the same hemisphere as Tiger (the average square will never understand). While this does come with great benefits, it also comes with great risks, most importantly being dimed out aka snitched on for actions that some would frown upon.

Peppers basically dimed himself out with his decision to pop champagne like he won the championship game, as each bottle could have posed the potential for some negative press, which would have made a kind gesture look like a very questionable decision. What would have happened if someone decided to spray one of the bottles all over the crowd to fuel a scuffle? or broke it over someone else’s head during a customary “damn homie, did you just step on my gators,” type of dispute? Not too far-fetched. Via Chicago Tribune

NBA Fight Night x 2: Barnes vs Bryant, Watson vs Frye

One thing is for sure, after the Lakers beat the Magic 4-1 in last year, winning the NBA Finals in Orlando, no love was lost between these 2 squads. When The Lake Show returned to the O Sunday for the first time since hoisting the trophy it was a safe bet that something was going to crack. And indeed something did as Magic forward Matt Barnes and the 2nd-best player in the NBA aka Kobe Bryant got into some verbal and lightweight physical disputes throughout the game. Even though Barnes wasn’t with Orlando last season, he did play for the Suns so he is no stranger to a rivalry with the Lakers.

Barnes has gained somewhat of a negative reputation throughout his career for a some questionable play, but in this case he was justified for his actions as Kobe was talking heat and throwing cheap shots at a comparable rate. Barnes may have instigated a little bit but he also showed that he had big marbles, refusing to back down from Kobe and the rest of the Lakers squad, including a brief scuffle with Derek Fisher towards the end of the game.

In the end Barnes got the last laugh as he successfully defensed Kobe’s potential game-tying shot as time expired. But Kobe and the Lakers still have the bling, so this game really wasn’t that important as the Magic should be more concerned with LeBron and the Cavs.

LOL: Artest & Jennings Rocking Legendary Hairstyles

Ron Artest and Brandon Jennings have inserted themselves into the supreme hairstyle realm this season, after both men have rocked some legendary looks this season. This weekend both decided to try and take the crown by sporting some pretty flossy cuts to say the least.

Jennings kicked off the weekend with a red mohawk during the Bucks game against the King James-less (therefore nastier than dirt stains caused by Chipotle) Cavs Saturday, rocking something-like a Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes character from “Demolition Man” for squares). Jennings has had swag even before he got to the league, going the unconventional route since high school.

Ron Artest kept it going Sunday, showing up to The Lake Show’s game at Orlando with a bleached-gold wig with the word “Defense” written in 3 different languages in purple dye. Artest had it in Hebrew on the top of his head, Japanese on the back and Hindi on the side in a look reminiscent to another legend by the name of Dennis Rodman, who became known for funky hairdos towards the latter part of his career.

Everyone already knows that Artest is on some other ‘ish, and while he is no stranger to putting intricate designs in his wig, this may have been the icing on the cake. It took Artest’s barber Boogie, along with a hair-dyer, over 3 hours to hook it up, but sadly it did no good as the Magic served the Purple & Gold with a cherry on top.

Check out the pretty awkward interview that Lisa Salters did with Boogie (Artest’s barber) during the game and an exclusive video that Artest put of his new hairstyle after the jump…

Tis Tough: Roethlisberger Accused Of Sexual Assault

We just said damn…not again. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is making headlines once again for all the wrong reasons after catching another case for th alleged sexual assault of a 20-year old college student in Milledgeville, Georgia. Roethlisberger and nearly a dozen of his homies were partying it up in the small college town Thursday night, which is home to both the Georgia College & State University as well as the Georgia Military College and is a decent trek away from Atlanta. At 2:33am the female that kicked it with Roethlisberger and his crew for most of the night approached Police officers and claimed that she had been sexually assaulted by the 2-time Super Bowl Champion.

Apparently Big Ben and his crew were in city for a little fun, which involved trying to holler at the plethora of young college beezies that dominate Milledgeville, mashing around from bar to bar, as Roethlisberger was treated like a Van Wilder type. According to reports Roethlisberger was very friendly to fans throughout the night, signing autographs and taking pictures and was definitely enjoying the celebrity status bestowed on him.

While Roethlisberger hasn’t officially been charged with anything and any action won’t be taken until Monday at the latest, Police are still waiting to interview him, but he has since bounced from the area. The bottom line is that it’s a sad time when a (white) quarterback that has won 2 rings is getting regularly accused of trying to take the cookie (2 allegations in about a year is not a solid average). I will never get salty at a dude trying to get his nut, especially a sports celebrity that uses their status to bang groupies fans, but any time you have to try and take it from a girl, you are giving the game a black eye.

Regardless of how this situation turns out, hopefully Roethlisberger has learned a valuable lesson: if you have enough cheese to get a hooker, you might as well pull the trigger because they are cheaper in the long run. Check out the statement that Roethlisberger’s agent put out after the jump…
