People Still Hate Kris Humphries

If you thought people would have let go of their hatred for Kris Humphries by now, then you would be wrong.  It turns out people in LA still think he deserves to be heckled thoughout a game.  You'd think the guy took part in dog fighting or something, but no.  That guy is being cheered for in Philadelphia, while Kris Humphries is getting torn apart for marrying someone.

Seriously?

Ciara and LaLa Hanging Out Courtside at MSG

LaLa and Ciara

Rumours of a romance between Ciara and Knicks forward Amare Stoudemire have been going around since last season.  While nothing has been confirmed, the singer was sitting courtside along with Carmelo Anthony's wife LaLa at last weekend's Magic-Knicks game.  Too bad the girls couldn't bring some good luck to their men.  Melo was injured during the game and Amare seemed to get his team in foul trouble during every play.

Inside the Detroit Pistons Locker Room

Buckingham Palace

OK so maybe Buckingham Palace is a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much. They have leather seats in front of their lockers.  A bench shared with other players won't do for the Pistons, no, they need individual leather seats! Blue and pink lights light the hallways as they enter the locker room and their players lounge looks like it belongs in New York's meat packing district.

Does anyone else find it a little ironic that the city of Detroit calls their arena the "Palace." I mean half the population there can't pay their mortgages and have to live off unemployment, but if they can scrape up enough money to go to a Pistons game then they get to hang out in a "Palace."

With a pimped out locker room the Pistons are still only 3-10, so those state of the art hot/cold tubs don't seem to be working out all that well.

Chuck Hayes To Get Video Tribute In Houston Tonight

What comes to mind when you hear the name Chuck Hayes?

There really isn't a whole lot you can say about the guy, except aside from the stats, you know he is the kind of player that will give it your all on the floor every minute he plays. He also had a lot of weight to carry in replace for the injured (and now retired) Yao Ming, who stands an entire foot taller than Hayes. He only averaged just over four points and five rebounds a game as well.

It's just enough to give the man a video tribute.

Hayes played just six seasons with the Rockets, and is noted to be the shortest center in the NBA standing at 6-6. The Rockets after the 2010-2011 season were in the works of getting Pau Gasol from Los Angeles before things fell through, but eventually Hayes took off to Sacramento as a free agent. Hayes won't play tonight since he is out because of a shoulder injury. From the Houston Chronicle:

Sometime late in the first quarter tonight, with Hall of Famers, Moses Malone, Calvin Murphy and Elvin Hayes, in the building, the Rockets will spend a time out paying tribute to the shortest starting center in NBA history, a player that went undrafted and was cut in his first training camp in the NBA.

It will be a fitting honor for Chuck Hayes, who earned everything that came his way, especially respect.

“I don’t know how I’m going to react,” Hayes said. “My son asked, ‘Are they going to boo you?’ I don’t know. It’s going to be weird. This city was great to me. This organization was great for me. I thank them. I really do consider Houston home. Will I get teared up? I don’t know.

“Personally, it’s just overwhelming. It’s overwhelming the opportunity that was given to me. I’m thankful to the Sacramento Kings. I think about the journey it took to get to this point, to be a vet on a team, to be financially stable, to be a model in the league of being a glue guy.”

It's very rare for a man like Chuck to get such recognition who hasn't really achieved a whole lot except for filling in shoes. Either way, it will surely be an unusual, yet very emotional moment for the Chuckster tonight at the Toyota Center.

Kris Humphries didn't like the way Kim treated her family

Only 1/2 true

In the least shocking news of the New Year, it turns out Kim Kardashian is a diva and rude to her family.  Who knew?

According to "sources" Kris Humphries couldn't stand the way Kim spoke to her family.  Since he's such an incredible gentleman with Emily Post style manners, who better to throw stones?  From the little amount of their show that I've seen (and trust me, I wish I would have seen even less) it appears that Kim Kardashian is somewhat of a jerk.  Calling her younger sister a "troll" who's only jealous of her and then demanding all sorts of lame things from her equally detestable mother.  I didn't need any of Kris Humphries' "sources" to let me know that her awful behavior on and off the cameras could have been a factor in the demise of her marriage.

That's not to say Kris Humphries deserves any credit for being a stand-up human being.  He comes off as a homophobic asshole who doesn't care about anyones happiness but his own.  Every involved in this entire saga is a monster and I can't believe I'm still talking about them.  It's a sickness.

Fans sit on Mavs bench and enjoy their drinks

During Tuesday nights Dallas-Detroit game two fans were seated in what is considered "VIP" seats located almost directly on the Mavericks bench.  During the broadcast it looked as though two crazy fans (they weren't helping with those outfits) just decided to plop themselves down next to Delonte West and Vince Carter.  

The two fans turned out to be some "fashion" designer  named Aaron Cohen and his best friend.  They actually paid money for those seats because as Cohen put it in an interview after the game he wanted "the best seats in the arena." 

Um, no way those are the best seats in the whole arena.  Anytime the play moves to the opposite end of the court (and considering it's basketball, every 10 seconds) you completely lose sight of the action.  You can't even look at the jumbo-tron without risk of neck spasms.  

Fail.

Kobe and His Hatred Towards Phoenix

It was 2006. The Phoenix Suns, loaded with Steve Nash, Amar'e Stoudemire, Boris Diaw and co. gave the Los Angeles Lakers a run for their money as the team from the City of Angels led the series 3-1 in the Western Conference Quarterfinals. The Suns them clothes-lined them (and Kobe Bryant) and not only won the next three games, they annihilated them in game 7 to win the series 4-3. The Suns faced them again in 2007 and took care of them 4-1 in the quarterfinals. The Lakers eventually got their "revenge" in 2010, and with the help of Metta World Peace (formerly Ron Artest), the Lakers went on to win the Western Conference crown against Phoenix and took down their arch rival Boston Celtics in seven. The Suns roster has been gutted out over the last year, and only Steve Nash remains from the 2007 roster, and to make things sweeter for Los Angeles, they have only one once at Staples Center since early 2008 when former Laker Kwame Brown nearly single-handed them a victory and was booed off by the hometown fans for it.

Even though the Suns are not what they used to be, Kobe doesn't care. The bitter taste in his mouth will always remain.

From espn.com:

Kobe keeps saying how much he hates the Phoenix Suns.

But there’s almost nothing left from the Suns teams that knocked the Lakers out of the first round of the playoffs in 2006 and 2007. The coach is gone, the general manager is gone, every other player is gone ... there’s even a different guy doing tricks in the gorilla suit. The only one who remains is Steve Nash. The same Steve Nash who won the Most Valuable Player award over Bryant in 2005 and 2006.

So really, whom else is Kobe supposed to hate? Channing Frye? Hakim Warrick? He sure doesn’t hate Shannon Brown, his former teammate whom he embraced in a tight hug right after the buzzer sounded.

It’s gotta be Nash.

Those 48 points Kobe scored during the Lakers’ 99-83 victory were his most since he scored since March 22, 2011 -- against the Phoenix Suns. *And as Dave McMenamin pointed out, the last time Kobe scored more than 48 was when he put up 49 on March 1, 2009 -- against the Phoenix Suns. This can’t be a coincidence. Kobe is too cold and calculating for this to be coincidence.

“I don’t like them,” Bryant said of the Suns. “Plain and simple, I do not like them. They used to whip us pretty good and used to let us know about it, and I. Will. Not. Forget. That.”

Even though most of the guys from that team are gone?

“I. Don’t. Care,” Bryant said. “I won’t let it go.”


I did attend the game last night (as a Phoenix Suns fan), and I too am a little bit confused by all this. There were very few Suns fans in attendance, and I was left alone when I cheered on my team. Every basket Nash scored, I yelled. Every three Channing Fry hit, I let the crowd know who made it. In response, I got nothing from the stands.

This has definitely got to be a personal thing.
