********TRANSCRIPT********
DAVID STERN: So that’s all there is… any questions?
REPORTER: Yes right here, David. What are your thoughts on Make Me A Supermodel?
DAVID STERN: What?
REPORTER: What are your thoughts on Make Me—
DAVID STERN: I heard you the first time. I can’t believe you’re asking this stupid question.
REPORTER: Well, I…
DAVID STERN: “Well I” NOTHING! Make Me A Supermodel is such a Project Runway and America’s Next Top Model ripoff. How dare you bring that trash into my press conference. Be gone you witch! Be gone!!

This Just In: Steve Nash Can’t Rock The Headband January 4, 2008

Steven Nash, the guy who dribbles for the Phoenix Suns is seen here on the left of your screen, MY right — wait, no, my left as well.
OK.
So he looks like a doofus here is really what I’m aiming the entire post to be. But on a related tip, they murked the Sonics by coming back strong after being down a bunch. Which is important to somebody somewhere seeing that it’s the Sonics and we’re just 4 days into January.
Elsewheres, there’s a fun NBA Blogger All-Star voting thing at Hardwood Paroxysm. It’s “fun” because I have a nomination (SEE MOTHER!) and though the category I’m in makes it’s 100% impossible for me to upset the other noms, I’ll just go ahead and dream that I’m the winner already.
If you feel you can make that dream come true, please, by all means, place a vote or 20. No shame here… only vanity.

…and this has nothing to do with hoops jokery, so feel free to move along… BUT, this was what I was up to for the past 3 and a half weeks:
(Click to play)
We (our class) painfully did those frame by frame on Flash (see why my recent infatuation with it ha). It’s neat huh? I won’t even say which lil part is mine, but suffice it to say it’s not the best ones… far from it… damn my classmates are sick with it 
The original video here was from this Girl Talk documentary that can be remixed on Open Source Cinema, because you know, internet, remixing, blogging, re-inventing, mash-ups.. all that jazz.
UPDATE: wow, Pitchfork shows love to our tiny Montreal class, crazy! Thanks balljions TK.
The Worst Color Combo Jersey? November 13, 2007

I can’t wait to check out Redacted, the Brian De Palma doc about certain war images kept under wraps by the govt that’s produced by Mark Cuban because 1) Brian De Palma has balls 2) Everything Mark Cuban touched, I want to touch as well, in hopes that I will be a multi-billionaire by the transitive rule (that’s how the transitive rule works right?)
Anyway, in one of the few Blogmaverick posts about the Mavs, there’s a free t-shirt giveaway in support for the troops. That got me thinking: isn’t Green and Blue the ugliest combination put together? Blue and green by itself are fine, but together they are the Sea Creature to purple’s Frankenstein.
Prince Really Did Make It (Purple) Rain! August 10, 2007

With many thanks to the notorious J.C.N. that oversees FanHouse along with Mottram, there’s an MTV interview with Prince, and he reveals what we’ve all wanted to know for the past 4 years … he is actually a balla 4 realz:
Sway: I wanted to tell you this story first: I was watching the Dave Chappelle show, and Eddie Murphy’s brother Charlie Murphy does this thing on it called “True Life Hollywood Stories,” and he told this story that he was hanging out with you at your house, and you guys were listening to music, and then you came up with the idea to all go play basketball. He said they didn’t have any clothes, so you got them shorts and T-shirts, but he said that your crew showed up to the basketball court with the same wardrobe [as you wear onstage]. High heels, suited and booted. Is that true?
Prince: That part’s not true. But the whupping’s true.
Sway: The whupping’s true. So you’ve got basketball skills?
Prince: A little bit.
Sway: Yeah? What you got? A crossover dribble? Or a jump shot?
Prince: We didn’t call it crossover back then.
Sway: What’d you call it?
Prince: Just speed.
Thank god for that piece so I can run this geniusness clip again…

With all due respek to the folks of Go Fug Yourself…
Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe. Yes. We all know how you are. We know you very well. In fact, we know you a little too well.
We know that you like score — in more ways than one. We know that you want to be DA MAN. We know that you’re someone that basks in the limelight of having everyone be in awe of your talents.
We know that you probably like the movie Scarface (call it a hunch)… what we didn’t know was that you wanted to be go back to 1980s Miami to be an extra for the film with that getup of yours.
Hats are cool, I mean, everyone likes hats. But that thing that’s above your head… that’s no hat sir. It’s like dried orange peels “pretending” to be a hat/fedora/atrocity. Which I guess explains the mango shirt your wearing. Who the hell wears mango?! I take it you wanted to stick it to the Suns after you poured 45 on so you just had to ridicule their their pretty orange colors huh? “TAKE THAT orange! I’m going with a colorway that’s kinda orange, but off-colored. Bitches!” Don’t even get me started on the shoes…
Your daughter Natalia probably thinks you’re going to a mango factory now. Shame on you.

Sure, I haven’t really mentioned the patron saint of us online hoop heads—Archbishop Agent Zero, here at the HQ for a second, reason: I friggin mentioned the hell outta him over at BulletsForever just a couple days ago!
Howeva, that doesn’t excuse the fact that I’ve been slacking here, so I give you The Unrelatedness’ good friend Dan Steinberg (who has been a saint himself for dealing with my 10 thousand emails, love ya Dan!), clueing us in on Gilbert Arenas’ jersey sale climb in the top 10 (full admission: the post links back to us…. yea.. I’m a linkwhore 
)
This is a week old, but I certainly find this interview with Grizz coach Tony Barone interesting, from HoopsHype (they’re awesome based on name principle alone)
In your first game against Toronto, those guys were making a serious run at you. And you guys were in the huddle during the timeout laughing and smiling. What’s that all about?
TB: You just have to be somewhat loose in pressure situations. If you’re not loose in pressure situations and you are tight, you can’t perform. So I try to keep loose in those situations and not get bogged down in nine-thousand different little details, but make it pretty simple as what we have to do. Toronto took the lead and they were looking over at me because they thought we were going to take a time out and we didn’t. We pushed the ball and (Mike Miller) hit a three. That was as good as anything I could have said during the timeout. That’s the way I look at it.
It’s interesting because they seem to have just DEMOLISHED the 5th place LA Lakers with seven players in double figures! With just E. Jones scoreless on the active roster. A big Doube-U Tee Eff? I think it’s that loose-ness they’re playing with, since they’re the worst team in the lig and really just having fun out there and really don’t give frak. They’re the type team right now that other teams hate to play against. LakerBlog breaks the game down while Beale Street Beat says Barone’s good coaching aint no fluke.
Something something about Jason Kidd’s personal life—eh… I’ll just say this: hopefully TJ’s head will dissolve back to normal size as it doesn’t need to deal with his crazy ‘rents being together anymore. Oh and Joumana, call me! We’ll play chess or something, I’m wild too!
Hey Maria! I’d Totally Be Your Ball-boy! January 5, 2007

I think this was at least a month old… I never heard much about this.. and only saw the ad recently.. really makes you think. Huh. I’m actually very interested to know if this is for real. Not that I visited the Nike site to check it out—fact checking? who needs that?—I mainly fear the Satanic abundance of Flash media that might be unloaded if I even attempt to type in any Nike address.
Anyway, I find it awesome that Maria Sharapova and Lebron are like, totally good BFFs. At least it doesn’t feel like a “corporate synergized” affair a la Mia Hamm/Michael Jordan with Gatorade a while back (remember those ads? “whatever you can do I can do beeetter” hehe)
I wish more superstars of different genres are good friends, like say Han Solo and Jack Sparrow hanging out all the time to play XBox.
UPDATE: While we’re on the topic of LeBron, good friend
Mutoni had a brilliant idea for the an NBA ToonsSLAMonline EXCLUSIVE! installment. The result is culminated here for a
Thanks again Mutoni for the exposurezzz. I’ll make sure the goat we agreed on is promptly sent over!
