Video: Gabrielle Calls Out D.Wade

While recently doing an interview on Conan, Gabrielle Union calls out Dwyane Wade for not know anything about Pretty in Pink or Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Here is where the world learned the truth...
She says he was just a fetus back then, but I'm years younger than him and I love Ferris Bueller. No excuses Wade.

Stephanie says, "change your name back to Artest."
This fan, Stephanie K, created her own "one-minute song" about the elbow Metta World Peace delivered to James Hardin.

Not a bad job. The vocals could have been a little better, but she did a good job getting the point across.

Chris Paul Booed at Dodgers Game!

It's not often that an athlete gets booed in his own city, regardless of the venue. So what was Clippers guard Chris Paul doing that was horrible enough to have thousands of Dodger fans booing him? Strangely, nothing. The 26-year old was shown on the video screen with his 2-year old son wearing a Dodgers cap and smiling. To his surprise, the fans, presumably Laker faithful, let him have it.

"They booed me bad," Paul said in an appearance on Tuesday's Jay Leno show. "I was just happy that my son didn't know what was going on."

Apparently, being a nice family guy who wears the right apparel is not enough to avoid the wrath of L.A. sports fans.

Pretty life like. You know you've made an impact when you get your own action figure after just over a month of solid basketball.

Hornets Sold To NFL Saints Owner Tom Benson


The New Orleans Hornets new owner is Tom Benson. The tentative agreement reached for the NBA to sell the team 100% to Benson is worth over $338 million. Jimmy Smith of The-Times Picayune first reported this.

So the days of the NBA owning a team are drawing to a close. General Manager Dell Demps and Head Coach Monty Williams have done a wonderful job with the Hornets with everything given this season beginning with the Chris Paul trade, both of them.

The Hornets roster this season has seen upwards of 23 different starting lineup, 10-day contracts left and right, D-League call ups, anything to fill the roster when injuries hit hard. Omeka Okafor, Eric Gordon, Carl Landry, Chris Kaman, Jarrett Jack, Trevor Ariza and Jason Smith have all missed time this season with injuries. That is a pretty good group to be missing. The result has been close losses all season with a few big wins yet the Hornets have never quit and Monty Williams just keep the focus on playing with what he has.

Benson has been seen courtside at Hornets games this season. Now with him as the full owner committed to the city, arena upgrades coming, a lease that's pretty tough to break and a pretty good GM and Head Coach the Hornets are here to stay, but will they keep the name Hornets? Results of an online poll in the Times-Picayune show 90% feel Benson should change the Hornets name. Either way the Big Easy will have NBA basketball for quite a while.

Cavs Mascot Moondog Laid Out



This could have been the look that David West had when he learned that his punch during a play fight with the Cleveland Cavaliers mascot Moondog landed Moondog out for the count and a trip to the hospital. Moon dog suffered an eye injury while doing what most NBA mascots do, mess with the other team players in a fun way.

You've seen Benny the Bull pretending to mop the floor during pregame warmups hoping that an opposing player slips. That's why we love mascots because they entertain us during the timeouts and mess with the other team players when the moment is right.

The moment was right for Moondog but the ending was unplanned. Now if West was play fighting how could a play punch knock out Moondog?




From The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Tom Reed, West said after the game...

“He jumped at me so I thought we were playing around and then the next thing I know he went down. It was definitely an accident.”


We hope Moondog will be ok, we hear he is but nonetheless this is funny as heck. Maybe mascots, we know Moondog will, think twice about a play fight with David West.

Stephon Marbury set to get his own statue!

Yao Ming and Stephon Marbury. In China, that just about sums up the pecking order of national superstar athletes. Marbury, 35, was a decent NBA player who peaked way to soon. But in China, he is a legend. Marbury dominated the Chinese Basketball Association last season, leading his team, the Beijing Ducks, to their first ever CBA championship. His news off the court has been just as positive, as his Starbury shoes have been selling like Jordan's.

According to Ball Don't Lie, Chinese basketball fans initially started a petition to create a Marbury statue in order to commemorate his outstanding play and active citizenship in China. Within hours, over 200,000 fans signed the petition, and within a week that number had climbed to over 1 million. Now, the statue is in the works.

I wonder what Knicks fans have to say about this surprising development. Chime in in the comment section below about Marbury getting his own statue.

Video: Shaq's Dove Ad With His Mom

The old saying goes that boys are "momma's boys". The same can be said for one Shaquille O'Neal as he may be the biggest momma's boy throughout creation.

If you were under a rock the last few weeks and missed all of the NCAA College Basketball tournament then you missed the series of Shaq (cough) Dr. O'Neal Dove Men+Care "Journey To Comfort" ad campaign where Shaq says he's "Comfortbale in his own skin" but this one by far is our favorite. A big ole giant baby that still loves his mom and openly dicusses his name in "Shaquille".




We all know the name Shaquille and there is no question as to whether or not it's original (unlike the nickname "Superman") or not. There plenty of kids running around now with the name both male and female so the imprint on the name has been made.Were glad Shaq is comfortable with his skin and his name. Yet what does the name Shaquille really mean...?

Derrick Rose's Girlfriend Is Expecting



Derrick Rose and his longtime girlfriend Meika Reese are expecting their first child.

From Bossip...

Chicago Bulls MVP guard Derrick Rose has a kid on the way. Rose’s longtime girlfriend Mieka is 7 1/2 months pregnant. We were scooped when Mieka’s younger sister broke the news on Twitter yesterday — She tweeted out how she enjoys “rubbing her sisters [pregnant] belly” Maybe Rose hasn’t been playing because he’s preparing for fatherhood? Congrats to the reigning NBA MVP.




Congrats to the couple. Derrick is rather quiet and reserved off of the floor so let's hope that he and Meika keep everything cool.

Video: Derrick Rose GQ Photoshoot



Derrick Rose has not seen as much action on the hardwood this season as he would have liked. He's missed almost 40-percent of the Bulls games due to various injuries. In his previous three season Rose only missed a total of six games so yo know that must be frustrating especially with the Bulls having the best record in the NBA to this point.

It has still been busy for the fourth year guard out of Chicago. There was the new contract with Adidas, the purchase of a condo in the Trump Tower and he's also expecting his first child with longtime girlfriend Meika Reese.

Well chalk up a GQ photoshoot to the list now. Check out the video of the shoot

Knicks Chillin' on 21 Shump Street




















On an off night in Indiana, the New York Knicks look like one big family. Here are some pics of them heading to dinner at New Orleans on the Avenue Restaurant in downtown Indianapolis.

Carmelo Anthony
, Amare Stoudemire, and a large portion of the team, including head coach Mike Woodson were present. You love to see the unity, especially with the head coach hanging out with the players.

Knicks have 13 games left with a 2 game lead on the Milwaukee Bucks for the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference. They play the Indiana Pacers Tuesday night without Amare Stoudemire and Jeremy Lin. Unfortunately for NY they will not be available till the playoffs.
