I'm so happy right now and all I have to say is this...
Oh, and leave Chris Bosh alone lol.
I hadn't made a video in awhile, so what better time than after the bitter Game 2 loss by the Heat? Exactly. Enjoy!
1) Ryan Howard Quickest To 200 HRs
With his 200th homer, Ryan Howard broke someone named Ralph Kiner's previous record in 48 fewer games. It took Kiner, who played in the 40s and 50s (and yes, he's still alive), 706 games to reach 200, while it took Howard just 658. Remarkable. (Not really, but it seemed like a nice thing to say lol.)
2) Riley Interested In Bringing Odom Back To South Beach
Odom has already stated that he only wants to live on the beach, basically saying he'd only be willing to play for the Lakers, Clippers, or Heat (ironically the only 3 teams he's ever played pro ball for) so there's a possibility of this becoming a reality. The problem is the Heat most likely can't afford to pay him much more than the Lakers. But there's no doubt this would be interesting if it really happened. Before being traded for Shaq in 2004, Odom had one of his best seasons in his lone year in a Heat uniform averaging 17 and 10 a game.
3) Wade Ditches Converse For Jordan Brand
Who knows why Wade even signed with Converse in the first play. He was a top 5 draft pick in one of the deepest tracks in NBA history, he couldn't get some of that Nike money?? Well he'll be getting it now that he's decided to signed with Nike's Jordan Brand (why couldn't he just signed with Nike and get his own campaign like LeBron and Kobe??) who interestingly enough owns Converse. Welp we'll see how this shoe turns out.
4) Antoine Walker Arrested In Debt Case
This is just sad. I know you heard the reports about him owing $822,500 in gambling debts in Las Vegas, well the former NBA All-Star was arrested Thursday after a warrant had been issued 2 days before. I don't even know how to feel though because 'Toine made well over $100 million while playing in the NBA, he couldn't have possibly blew through all the cash! Or could he?? Either way, this is just sad.
Possibly even sadder is the fact that he's only 32 with no real injury history and is no longer in the league! That's crazy!
5) Travis Henry Gets 3 Years In Prison
Speaking of sad, former Bronco running back Travis Henry has been sentenced to serve 3 years in a federal prison for financing a drug ring that moved cocaine between Colorado and Montana. Matter of fact, this isn't even sad, its fuckin' tragic! All those kids will be without a father and when he gets out he'll probably be right back in because there's no way he's gonna play in the NFL again so he'll have no way to pay all that child support.
We all make mistakes but this nigga here?? Maaaan!
I got to see a lot of this nearly 30 minute ceremony last night and it was actually quite moving. I still gotta wonder why they did it when the Heat played the Magic since it was clear they'd most likely lose the game (April 12th against the Knicks at the triple-A is just sitting there open). All in all, I still enjoyed it and I'm glad to see it happen. Its good to have a Heat player retired for the organization and not just Michael Jordan and Dan Marino lol.
(On a side note, I gotta wonder how Will Hatcher feels about this because we know he doesn't like Zo as evident by this video titled "Fuck Alonzo Mourning!!" I gotta remember to ask Andy to ask him his feelings about this lol.)

Man, if you don't live down here in South Florida you're really missing out on some great basketball by Dwyane Wade. As you can see from the video above, D-Wade came through again for his team with a steal and 3-point runner as time expired in double-OT! He needed this play to make up for those 2 free throws he missed in the first overtime that could've put the game away for the Heat...excuse me, "El Heat" (BTW, why weren't the Bulls wearing their "Los Bulls" jerseys?? Fucked up lol). Wade finished the game with 48 points, 12 assists, 6 boards, and 4 steals.
In other Dwyane Wade news, he and Deron Williams were named the NBA players of the week for last week. Wade averaged a crazy 35.8 and 11.3 assists a game while Deron averaged 25.3 and 11.3. The big difference here is that Deron's Jazz went 3-0 over that span while the Heat went just 2-2. This year's Heat remind me of those Lakers teams a few years back when Shaq first left and we know where they are now.

No happy ending for Shaq and the Suns as D-Wade and the Heat take them down 135-129. Wade had another incredible game and poured in 35 points, 16 assists, and 6 boards while Shaq put up 22 and 8.
It was another good game by Miami, but the big difference between this win and the loss to the Cavs Monday was the help Wade got tonight. Michael Beasley hit 28 and Daequan Cook hit 27, career highs for both. That's 55 points combined! Beasley also chipped in 9 rebounds and reigning 3-point champ Cook went 6-8 for three. If the Heat could get this kinda of effort off the bench on a nightly basis they'd be a real problem come playoff time.

Man, if you don't live in South Florida or Cleveland or have satellite then damn, you missed a good one! Dwyane Wade and LeBron James went at it for 48 minutes last night and in the end LeBron and the Cavs took the game 107-100.
LeBron had 42 points (6-7 from three, 10-10 from the line), 8 rebounds, and 4 assists while D-Wade put up 41 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, and 7 steals (another career high). Crazy! The big difference though was Mo Williams who had 30, 7, and 7 scored 17 in the final period to help bring the Cavs back from down 11. Wade had really no help down the stretch.
Anyway, luckily for us, we get to see this match up again in a few days when the Heat and Cavs face off again in Cleveland Saturday. Can't wait!

You might have noticed Dwyane Wade wearing a band-aid on his face during All-Star weekend and in a few games that followed, but that was because he had stitches on his face. Now that is has become some what of a fashion trend, the NBA has decided to ban it. Soooo gay!
This is just like David Stern's square ass. Anytime something becomes cool, he wants to change the shit. The damn band-aids say "Wade" on them, what's wrong with that?? I could see if they said weird stuff like "David Stern is gay" or something like that, but they don't. Sad.

Finally the Miami Heat franchise will retire a jersey number that was actually worn by one of their own (true story, the only 2 jersey numbers retired in Heat history are Michael Jordan's and Dan Marino's). On March 30th, the Heat will officially retire Zo's #33 and rightfully so. Zo definitely deserves it, I don't care what Will Hatchers says lol.
Anyway, the Heat should go ahead and reserve a spot next to Zo for D-Wade's #3 jersey after tonight's performance in the Heat's 120-115 win. Wade had 46 points, 10 assists, 8 boards, 4 steals, and 3 blocks! Oh, and 24 of those 46 came in the fourth after the Knicks busted Wade's lip on a fucked up no call. Don't tug on Superman's cape.
