Excellent Mash Up

2 Bad ~ MJ + Shaq

Shaq:

Some nights are like a dream
I'm really in the theater when MJ's on my team
theme
reality brings forth realism
it's the man of steel
organism Twism
I'm full of trisim
take charge like Miller
9-5 Shaq represent with the thriller
grab my crotch, twist my knees, and I'm through
I'm bad, Mike's bad, who are you?

Skating!!!

I would love to be in your book.... I also never told you but I too am working on putting together some decks and shirts just to sell over here. Im calling my brand Gold Tooth Jesus. I didnt want to tell you until I had a totally finished design yet but here is my rough draft logo along with some variations. The tooth needs fixin..... Once again i didnt tell you cause i look up to you as an artist and i didnt want to mention it till i had something decent to show you....Now that the cats out of the bag you can let me know what you think of the rough concept.

ps. I call it gold tooth jesus cause everyone at work says i look like jesus and they call me jesus.... When i lost my tooth they kept saying i should get a gold tooth...so there it is. Your deck looks sick by the way!

there you are sammy! / think of something original, everyone is doing the honk.

i was gonna tell you, stop skating and start blogging! Wow! how crazy is it to hear this. I love skateboarding, always have. i started skating in 1984 when i was 5. by the time i was 10 i was skating with junior high and high school kids. Riding launch ramps and small half pipes. i remember when we saw josh roo do the first kickflip, and he was the only kid in town who could land one, i think that was 1987. And you are right my mom wasnt very "supportive", though she wasnt flat out discourageing. She did buy me my first pro board for my birth day when i was in 3rd grade. hot pink tommy guerro(once again, down with the brown since day one) full size, white tracker ultralites, bullet wheels, and german bearings. but she never watched me skate, or filmed us riding the ramps or anything, and we had a camcorder. the neighbor lady saw me one day and called over these other neighbors and i did a little demo for like 4 neighbors. ollies, ollie 180s, boneless, shov its, cherry pickers, flatground hand plants, finger flip bonless, various acid drops off those green things in neighborhoods, ollie truck stalls on curbs, and my specialty, big power slides with 360 outs. they were amazed. my parents never watched. maybe part of the reason i started playing organized sports, was i thought they would start to pay attention. the reason i got into art and design is all due to skatebording. i used to walk down to the corner store and buy thrasher magazine for like 2 maybe 3 bucks, and go home and redraw all the ads and pictures of skaters and board graphics. the first thing i ever wanted to be "when i grow up" was a skateboard graphic designer(the shoe thing didnt happen till 6th grade). and youre right my dad wasnt too down, though he didnt flat out deny me, he paid way more attention to the organized sports. its funny you bring this up cus im actually working on a book called skateboarding saved my life. i own skateboardingsavedmylife.com and i am gonna start making some clothing and stickers and doing some decks too. you remember i built the mini ramp in my garage 3-4 years ago, i have been skating on and off since then, and have recently been doing it more frequently with zeke. i have trying to take him to the skate park once a week. and remember i have 2 skate related tats, the vallely and the screaming hands. i just finished this deck for myself, i filmed myself making it, but i dont have the video edited yet, but heres a picture for now( i use a snow owl for my graphic, cus it freaking snowed for months here and no one could skate). ill have to get your story to put in my book. and i can get kerns too, if he want to relive how his dad called him a wanker. i remember people used to call us skaters that in the 80s.



i had this natas board in 1988, he owned everyone. dont front on the fire hydrant, and if you wanna see whats really up watch the natas bio, you can find it on youtube. and speaking about beaners you gotta get into mark gonzales. still skating still ripping. one of the first "street skaters", one of the first skaters to do his own graphics, one of the first skaters to start his own company, still owns his own company, does tons of graphics, does tons of art, true inovator, true icon, highly respected, total wierdo!

Little lost Mexican

Why did my parents let me watch basketball. It's such an exciting sport, and not to mention that when i was young magic bird jordan barkley hakeem ewing and of course Nick Van Exel were in there primes. With players like spud and muggsy rockin it, i though i could be the next little man in the league.....

My parents of course tried to make me a tennis player which I didnt want to do because theyre were of course no players I could really relate to.

If they were smart they would have encouraged me to play soccer, baseball or one other sport.

Soccer of course has many latin american heros to look up to and was also a sport you could play in school and not be looked at as a sissy like tennis.

Baseball was a real mans that anyone could enjoy, and that I wanted to play in high school but my parents wouldnt let me because it was at the same time as tennis. Of course there were many players for me to admire growing up especially former dogers pitching standout fernando valenzuela.



What they didnt know is there some amazing skaters that I could have modeled myself after, but of course no parent encourages they're kid to do that! Take jeremy for instance....Jerry called him a wanker... Im sure josh's mom didnt encourage anything, and his dad was so texas that football and b ball were the only sports he probably really encouraged. Meanwhile legends like Chino Brenes, and pepe lopez were killing the skating world while I tried to be like mike and miserabley failed! Why couldn't they just move me out to santa cruz and help me to be a professional athlete like any kid would want to be. That is a sport that you dont have to be any particular size to do. All you need is practice which i did religeously with basketball, but these little mexican chicken legs could only take me so far! If only I could have been encouraged to check out skating... I could have been the next emanuel guzman

Mad World

This is what I am referring to in my comment to Josh's post below...
For best results, play them at the same time clicking mj's video first and starting mad world when MJ gets to 12 seconds

dont sleep on earth song

totally forgot about it, probably top 5

MAGIC MAD RO'n it!

The magic just picked up brandon bass to start along side D Howard! This may not seem like a huge pick up ala RJ to san antonio or Sheed to Boston or Shaq to cleveland but let me tell you it is. Brandon Bass has been one of the top 20 most productive players per minute in the nba the last two seasons and averaged 9 pts 5rebs while shooting 50% in 19 minutes per game last season. He is a great young player who has played in the playoffs every year for dallas and avg 11 pts per game in the conf semis last season. He can knock down a 16 foot jumper and is a beast on the boards. A perfect fit to go along with D howard and the now more conventional magic. Great pick up and the magic are now looking like a team destined to make it to the conference finals. NO JOKE. I'd put money on it!!!!

Greatest performance of all time...

My favorite live performance of his!

It's all for you

I want to clear the air and set the record straight because I can sense that Pratt is genuinely questioning my character based on my posts. So let me first say I do it all in fun. I apologize for lazy runs that only upset you and made you think I had no reason for saying whatever I said. I'll be more responsible with my posts from now on. I still don't like Lebron James but if I ever post anything about him it will be with good reason and with a reasonable argument.


Are we good?

player

played it and own it still, and i own moonwalker on VHS

You aren't cool unless you've got a video game

1)Billie Jean - Sick song, amazing video, unforgettable

2)Bad - Who didn't walk around singing this song non-stop as a kid

3)Scream - I remember the first time I heard & saw the glass break from his scream. Thought it was SOO edgy

4)Rember the time - Love the way it sounds like he is dialouging with himself

5)Dont stop till you get enough - So retro, makes me want to roller skate


Anybody else play the video game????

he simply was.......badder than anyone!

the second best point anyone has made(after kerns chain net idea)

1 smooth criminal/dirty diana
3 human nature(john mayer nailed it up at the memorial, and im so down with MJ i used to spin this track in 97-98, 15 years after its release, while getting chicks drunk on wine coolers so i could cop a feel)
4 billy jean(nuff said)
5 give in to me (i know it doesnt showcase his amazing voice to its full potential, and that it isnt his signature dance/r&b/pop glory, but i think thats what makes it a top 5 contender. its a straight up pop/rock song and he nails it. king of pop is right. weather its dancy pop or disco pop or r&b flavored pop or pop rock he was as good or better than anyone.)
6 leave me alone
7 dangerous
8 wanna be startin somethin
9 rock with you
10 somebodys watching me(rockwell- i know he only does the hook, but come on, is there a more memorable hook, and probably half the people who know that song think its MJ anyways)


ps my favorite version of MJ is 87-94ish, bad and dangerous.

pss i know you have always been down sam, and you know i have always been down, no band wagon, always loved the dude, always thought he was a great singer/musician/performer/humanitarian. i never thought he did anything to those kids, he probably made some bad choices(kid over the rail, public sleepovers with multiple kids) but i dont think he ever did it out of perversion or with intent to harm anyone. i think he genuinely loved people and kids and was trying to cope and figure out how to live and love and grow and relate, all while being the most successful and pressured and recognized entertainer in the world.

I Just realized

Through all of this talking about basketball and lebron...No one has mentioned the death of the greatest entertainer of all time!



Post your top 5 MJ songs

mine are

PYT- Top 5 favorite love songs with Run to the sun, Blaq han solo, love and happiness, and Lets get it on
Billy Jean- Just super dope!
Smooth Criminal- Inspiration for the 11's
Reach In- jackson 5 song
They dont care about us- Sick Drums

well i dont know exactly what to say or what side to take i guess. its not uncontrolled swearing at fans or media, its not drug violation, its not adultery or rape, its not murder or shooting yourself for that matter. its a he said she said incident. we werent there, we dont know what was said or exactly what happened, and of course the media is gonna blow it up the 10 times what it is, they want a story. did you see them interview the kid who dunked. they kept trying to prod him to talk some trash or stir the pot and he wouldnt, and the kid even said he thought lebron didnt even think he was gonna dunk, so lebron took off late, and he said he didnt think lebron reacted at all, he didnt notice. i imagine if lebron would have made a big issue out of it the kid wouldve noticed, and others wouldve noticed and been talking about that. but all they are talking about is the fact the tapes were taken. i dont know the rules and i dont know what was said. and i dont think lebron is infallible, none of us are. barkley spit on a kid and threw a midget through a window. jordan gambled and was rumored for years to have had an affair. plus lebron is unber a bigger microscope than anyone in the league right now. i dont see him deliberately doing bad or wrong or harmful things, so i guess everyone is just looking for something else to talk about, other than all the blockbuster moves that just went down. in our age of all this technology its gonna be hard for any of these high profile guys to not get criticized and torn apart from time to time.

ps figure out what mt dew has to do with it?

Shade Shiest!

Ok I wasnt trying to hate on your boy...but I saw this and cmon man..just let the tapes go! Everybody gets dunked on. Chris Paul dunked on D howard... It happens..

chain nets

best thing youve ever said. tommy montalvo had a chain net, and when we played over there i felt like i couldnt miss. i loved to hear the sound, or maybe it was cus his rim was like 9.5 and i could also dunk a small ball, either way i felt invincible.

ps this is tommy montalvo now. see ive always been down wit the brown

pss 1.lakers 2.celtics/cavs(im kinda bias) 4.spurs 5. mansfield

NBA News

Can you imagine how happy we would have been if Larry Hughes would have gone to the Knicks when we were in early Highk school? haha I'm glad we are past those days. But he is the new agent zero in NY. joke joke hoke. Being that he has played for the cavs and the wiz i'm scared he is going to go to Orlando some day to complete the sweep.

Did you check Ryan Anderson's stats?? 33 pts, 11-15 FG, 2-2 3-pt, 9-9 FT Ok so it's summer league, but what i'm most excited about is the 9-9 free throws.

The Spurs are going to be very good this next year but I still don't think they have the chops to take it all. Jeffers was a huge pick up but their dudes are just gettin too old. They are all turning into Lamar Odom types, good but you never know when they'll show up.

I think one team that needs to get some run here is the Nuggets. They still have their key players from last year and are still on the uprise. Chauncey is ready to win and now they added a stud guard in Ty Lawson. I think the NBA should start cutting down nets, errr nevermind that's dumb. I'll change that. The NBA should start using chain nets.
AI is still in the news but who really cares? The nuggets definitely don't and supposedly the team with the most interest in Memphis. yahoo for school. Retire AI

It's gettin kinda hectic

Now that we've established that..... I have to say that article was pretty much lebron hating propaganda. I hate lebron too, but turning that handshake into a huge tirade was crazy...entertaining, but crazy! There is some truth to it, but overall just a lot of haterade to drink. Hedo is a bitch! You know your a mid level player who fit a system perfectly because of Rashard and Dwight. Hes gonna be a 15ppg player in toronto, and with jose calderon being the facilitator you just paid and average player to be a spot up shooter and kinda slasher. Should have just kept marion..he's cheaper! I like the Joe Dumars story. That just goes to show Isaih has always been shady shiest!

If you have followed the first to summer leagues you'll see James Harden is shooting 50% from the field while averaging 18ppg. Hes gonna rip it for them next year!


My top 5 for next year is.....

LA Lakers- With Ron Ron and Kobe and the real finals MVP Gasol they will own teams next year.

Boston Celtics- If they all stay healthy it will be hard to find a team that can compete with the Sheed, KG, Pierce, Allen, Rondo starting lineup.

San Antonio Spurs- TD,RJ,Manu, Tony P, and they're amazing draft pick of Dejuan Blair will be the two seed in the west with the potential to upset the Lake Show. ps. if they do win it all kobe leaves the lakers in 2010

Orlando Magic- Though Im not entirely happy with the VC move he is better than Hedo and will give them a perimiter player who can create on his own without making you hold your breath as hedo did at the end of games. They need to sign a decent big man to keep this spot though.

Cleveland Cavs, Oklahoma City Sonics (thunder)- I know, they aren't even gonna be close to the same records.. But the sonics were the 5th worst team in the L last year and they are poised to be the 8th seed in the west dethroning New Orleans. That makes them a top 5 as far as improvement. The Cavs will probably finish one or two in the east, but I honestly think shaq clogs up the middle too much for lebrons game which is drive in and dish. I would much rather have him shooting jumpers and playmaking on the perimiter than driving the hoop all the time. If they sign channing frye he will help clear out the lane with his ability to shoot 18 feet jumpers, but it may be a moot point if shaq can't stay healthy.

No suprises there with the exception of the sonics, but even though I fancy them, you gotta admit they are making all of the right moves.

ps i typed in supersonic love on youtube and this is what i got

wolf in sheeps clothing

So sheed moves, shaq moves, hedo moves, ben gordon moves, ariza moves, pac man artest goes to the lake show, iverson might go to miami and you still wanna bash lebron. Im gonna play like a dad(cus i am) and say that im not mad at you kern, im disappointed.

ps i didnt start this sam

pss sam please come in and talk about some of recent big NBA deals and give your top 5 teams for next season

psss kern i guess you can continue to post negative dirt about lebron

pssss kerns the wolf in case you didnt get it

Lebron Lies

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4311048 Guaranteed Lebron is lying about his comments to Trevor Ariza. Why would the Cavs let Lebron slip away after all he has done for them? He IS Cleveland basketball and they would do anything to keep him. He slipped and he knows it. Nice character Bron. I thought you were supposed to be a model influence to all the kids out there lookin up to you. What ever happened with him walking off the court after losing the Orlando series? Here's a direct quote

You know me, he told the reporters in Cleveland on Sunday. I’m a competitor. “If somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them,” James said. “It doesn’t make sense for me to go over and shake somebody’s hand.”

If you want proof of the man that is LBJ, look herehttp://communities.canada.com/theprovince/blogs/kurtenblog/archive/2009/06/02/lebron-james-is-a-terrible-person-insinuates-columnist.aspx

this blog sucks and yall are weak!

big deals go down and yall got nothing to say!? kern too busy drinkin frappes and sam too busy wit the nollie!? shits weak!

SO GUTTA!

come on guys, you got nothing?

Droppin Names Like Crosby's Droppin Babies!

Sounds like an interesting time... almost as interesting when i met Questlove and we chopped it up about his upcoming release...Yes the same questlove who is adored by chappelle, john mayer and of course the first lady!

Not really my style....

Goodbye Z-bo!!!!

This offseason just got better! The clippers found someone to take Zach Randolphs terrible contract and attitude to open up some playing time for blake griffin! Now we just need to drop either Kaman or Camby and were ready to rock!

MagiCavs

Pratt I know you wanted me to get pissed about you saying how much you hated my team several posts ago and post something where I lashed back but it's not going to happen. I don't mind you hating the Magi and I don't mind me hating the cavs so we're cool there. It smells like pronto pups with mustard right now.


I hate VC too so at least we agree on that. I'll give him a shot though, just like I have to give TO a shot this year. What's with my teams? Anyways here's to Jeremy Richarson getting some run in Twenty-10.
