NBA Schedule Now Obsolete As Los Angeles & Chicago Arenas Book New Events
Gone But Forgotten?
Staples Center in Los Angeles and United Center in Chicago have both been given permission by the NBA to book dates in December previously reserved for Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls games, indicating that the schedule the league released in July is now obsolete, the New York Times reports. This does not mean the NBA will cancel games through December; it means, rather, that an entirely new schedule will be published once the lockout is over.
Whenever the lockout is resolved, the league will “build a new schedule from scratch, using all arena dates that are still reserved,” sources tell The Times.
The Jay-Z/Kanye West tour has been scheduled in place of two NBA games Toronto Raptors-Lakers at Staples Center on Dec. 13, and San Antonio Spurs-Bulls at United Center on Nov. 30. No other arenas have received permission to release NBA dates beyond Nov. 14, The Times reports.
“With the cancellation of the first two weeks of the season, the NBA schedule would have to be reworked and certain dates—including Dec. 13 for a Lakers game at Staples Center—would not be part of any revised schedule,” the NBA said in a statement.

TALENT
New York Knicks Amare Stoudemire is now an offical hit in New York as he has made the Page 6 colum in the New York Post. Stoudemire was seen cozying up to Kanye West‘s ex-flame, Amber Rose after the Knicks Wednesday loss to the Boston Celtics. The Knicks power forward left Madison Square Garden with curvaceous Rose after the game and partied with her at Midtown lounge Covet, and they left together at 2 a.m.
Sources told Page Six that Rose and Stoudemire arrived at Covet with two friends around 12:30 a.m. “He had his arm around her shoulders when they walked in,” reported a spy. Stoudemire and Rose sat very close to one another at a table with two friends of Amber’s. “They weren’t overly affectionate, but he was whispering in her ear all night. It was so obvious they were together,” said our source.
Stoudemire hasn’t made it big time till he appears in a Mr. West lyric.

Last night while Cleveland Cavaliers Shaquille O’Neals ex wife Shaunie was debuting her reality TV show the “Basketball Wives” on VH1, Shaq was conquering up as much attention as he could think of to advert anyone from taking in her premiere night.
Shaq went live on US Stream to give his rendition of Stephon Marbury’s breakdown with sing a longs of Aaliyah and Rick James. Shaq did live through it but in case he decided not to TiVo the show all he missed out on was a 26 minute recreation of Kanye West’s song “Gold Digger.”

Seattle Mariners Milton Bradley Thinks He’s Kannye West
I'm Really Happy For You & Gonna Let You Finish but
Yeah the headline isn’t a joke but as a Milton Bradley fan I seem to be laughing. Bradley who has had his run ins with everyone from umpires, TV announcers, mangers, the front office, the media, and even Chicago Cubs fans sees himself though in a different light.
“If I was a musician, I’d be Kanye West. If I was in the NBA, I’d be Ron Artest,” the 31-year-old former Montreal Expo, Cleveland Indian,Los Angeles Dodger,Oakland Athletic,San Diego Padre, Texas Ranger and Chicago Cub said. “In baseball, they’ve got Milton Bradley. I’m that guy. You need people like me, so you can point your finger and go, ‘There goes the bad guy.’”
“I had a teammate last year who said if I ever change, he’d kick my ass,” Bradley said. “So I’m not changing. Everybody is not going to love you, no matter how you treat other people, no matter what you say. I never say anything bad about anybody. Somebody is always going to have something bad to say about you.”
That maybe true in your eyes and I would let you finish but your no Mr. West, hell baseball had a Kanye before the world even knew who he was. That man is probably not happy a happy camper that he’s already been forgotten but Carl Everett was better.
You might want to charge a few TV announcers who rip you during a game, throw a bag full of baseballs onto the field, protests a call at first that leads to a season ending injury or just hide out in your Chicago crib and blame everyone in that town. That’s fine but will you ever tell the media that they never saw a dinosaur or a Tyrannosaurus rex so they never existed? Will you ever look a grown man in the face and say that someone did indeed see Adam and Eve, till then you are no Mr. Everett.

Beanie Sigel Continues To Speak On Jay-Z
"this a man world, sit down you girl"
Beanie Sigel has gone from thumping his chest in an open letter to Jay-Z to trying to using the microphone as a blowtorch in trying to bait Jay into some kind of beef.
“I aint even lace my sneaks up, yet,” he said. “I’m ready to jump in the ring. Jay can rap. He can spit but yo, I’m nice,” Sigel said. “Yeah, I’m nice…You don’t understand. The competition? I’m nice, yo.”
“People judge people from their wealth. When he say ‘The Greatest Rapper’ and all that, he equates that with his accomplishments. I’m talking about line for line. Let’s go. I’m nice!”
“At the end of the day, [Memphis] Bleek’s fake too. F*ck outta here. I ain’t trying to hear that. Bleek got the same characteristics.”
“Lil Wayne professed the ‘Greatest Rapper Alive’ and was getting the momentum. Lil Wayne can rap, Lil Wayne can spit, in my point of view. I like Lil Wayne. He should have kept moving with it and then Jay come and tell Lil Wayne he gonna pass the baton to him [then] Lil Wayne falls back.”
“Kanye coming at, if you listen to the ‘Big Brother’ record, it’s the same thing…You got Carleen talkin’ ’bout he can buy two tickets. Carleen is the lady he sent to call the police on me, yo!”
“That’s one thing about me, I ain’t no liar and Jay knows that sh*t…Go back to the B.Coming record, ‘I Can’t Go On This Way.’ Listen to the beginning of that record. All you gotta do is listen to it, ‘Trust, karma, team, us, Roc, solid, damn.’ ‘D’Evils.’ Listen to the music…” He continued to add that lyrics from that song were directed towards Jay-Z as subliminal rhymes.
Sigel stated that more records would be released featuring 50 Cent and alludeding to signing with G-Unit but made no declaration.
I’ve been a Beans fan from the begining from “Mac-Man” to the album “The Reason” which is pure grown man fire, but I’ve been on a sabbatical from his last two albums “The Solution” and “The Broad Street Bully” cause I could hear him taking a sabbatical from his rhymes on guest verses as a lot was going on in his world and he wasn’t focused. This energy he’s displaying could be what he needs to get his rhymes back in deep heat form but a move to G-Unit wouldn’t be the wisest move for Beans as he would really be a pawn in the bigger picture of things.
As for Jay he said it best “Grown men want me to sit em on my lap, but I don’t have a beard and Santa Claus ain’t black” he doesn’t owe anybody jack, except a ticket to his Houston show for Rudy J.
