while you were sleeping - KY

and by sleeping, I mean not studying. MAN, completely missed the opportunity to blog on:-
1. NFL opening day - the pigskin is still alive!
2. NBA opening day - the 65 year old breaks his ankle in his first game!
3. El Presidente Obama - Yes We Can! I'm not sure I'm even a demo..

and in no effort to redeem myself, I bring you one of the awesomest things to have graced my life in the past month. needless to say it's not about consolidation, but about basketball

NBA International League Pass

yes - that is right, NBA basketball 24 hours a day, every single game, online - granted you have decent internet connection. it gives the geeks (us) all a chance to keep up to date with our fantasy points. yeah pfft, like I'll be looking at my pseudo-clipizard fantasy team these days. and it's all for the meager price of 84.95 USD. our weak dollar may make our ipods cheaper, but it makes this baby a questionable 126.75 AUD. But you can't put a price on watching the forum blue and gold wallopping (double p? single p?) on the rockets, captain china, and t-mac. So get a couple of mates, chip in and share an account, or ask me for mine, or don't be cheap and buy one yourself.

On other notes:

Burn After Reading: Dark Comedy, nihilistic? (i haven't used that word in two years), get a couple of mates willing to laugh at anything, well worth watching the senselessness of middle white america, a douche that is Clooney, and an effeminate Brad Pitt.

Movies to watch this summer (with or without a girlfriend, in cinemas, or at home): Quantum of Solace, Max Payne?? HSM3???? so it's a bit slim pickins, but stuff worth keeping you on the couch, Pan's Labyrinth, PS I Love You, Iron Man on blu-ray, Hellboy 2..

Or - you could go fishin, get golden, and grow a keg.

And I leave you with Josh Groban's performance at the Emmy's in front of a stiff crowd. Felt sorry for him that no one was into it. But gotta love the language he speaks with his eyes and eyebrows.

It's not everyday you school the KIng - AT.

Why Baron Why! - DK

OK most people don't follow the NBA or even care about it, so I'll keep this short and simple.

B.Diddy is leaving the Golden State Warriors (my favourite team), and he's going to the LA Clippers!!

He's like, their best player as well..what is going to happen to the Warriors now, theyre not even true contenders for the playoffs anymore...Oh well, I still believe.

And I forgive Baron...only because he's Jessica Alba's good friend =)

Show em hows it done in LA, B.Diddy. Good luck
We'll be missing you in GSW...(Just like P.Diddy :p)

Hyperdunk - AT.

So how does Kobe jump over an aston martin?

Or dunk all over dem snakes.

Or how does he got dis?

the answer is simple. the lightest and strongest basketball shoe ever.

The Nike Hyperdunk. 

(wondering what that webbing stuff is? it's Nike's new flywire technology, kinda pulls the shoe together but keeps it lightweight. like bridge cables you know?!)

Lakers colourway as featured in famous Aston Martin Jump.

Chinese Olympic Colourway made especially for Yi JianLian

Kobe's Olympic Colourway (dope.)

Argentina Olympic Colourway.

These babies retail at $110 USD catch them releasing sometime close to the Olympics.

Don't try this at home - DK

I know this video might be old and some people have seen it, but for those who haven't...watch it.

Kobe Bryant Jumps A Moving Car


He got this....

NBA Eastern Conference - EC

As my initials suggest I know a thing or two about the Eastern Conference for the NBA. Now I think Lebron James is without a doubt one of the greatest talents in our time with countless awesome performances, but there's a little something in his way.

Collectively they are referred to as Celtics and individually we call them Tickets. Unfortunately for Lebron the man in 5 has a Big Ticket punched to the NBA finals. Next year Lebron, next year.

Blowing off steam. NBA style - AT.

Stevie Franchise: (getting frisky)

Mike Dunleavy:

Baron "B Diddy" Davis

Reggie Miller:


Steve Nash:

None other than "his airness"

Shawn "Matrix" Marion:

Dirk Nowitzki:

meanwhile, 3000kms away.. - KY

where we know what game ol' dave was watching

where grown men do more than just the shoulder hug

we break through and wait for the inevitable.

a step back to the good ol' days,
where men had as much right as women to show off their legs

but there is a worry in me. somewhere, nagging that boston-lakers would be too good to be true. i do wonder sometimes, if there were ever a basketball player who went commando back in the jerry-west days. a tad pornographic right? but as long as they're wearing the purple and gold -

these days i don't care as long as we raise up dem banners.

NBA Playoffs - DK

The playoffs are here, and have been for about 2-3 weeks.


2nd Round.


8 teams.

So I thought I'd just give a quick update.

Too bad my Warriors didn't make it =( Looks like Jessica Alba doesn't believe anymore. But that's ok, shes got a baby to worry about.


So, who's favourite to win it?..Celtics are definitely the top team this season, with the best record in the league.

This kid doesn't seem to agree though.



KG: "Hey kid, what do you think about our team?"


Kid: "Psh, I could take you all on."

Having won MVP, the other popular favourite is Kobe Bryant and the Lakers.

Could this year be his year?

(Damn the kid third from the left has a jersey that is way too big for him.)

So here's what I predict:

Finals: Celtics v Lakers OR Celtics v Spurs
