Kanye West Interrupts Michael Jordan's Hall of Fame Speech

You all might not know this, but EA Sports used to put a fake me in its NBA Live games. I played with him once in maybe 1996, and his rating wasn't 99, which kind of upset me. I'm not saying they messed up, but Live 97 had me at a 99.

NAW MAN. WAIT UP YO. THIS AIN'T RIGHT YO. LET'S GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT. I AIN'T SAYING MJ ISN'T GREAT CUZ HE IS, BUT I NEED TO SPEAK ON THIS.

What are you doing? I'm trying to remember every thing anyone ever did to offend me in the slightest, and you're interrupting me.

LOOK MIKE I'M SORRY TO BE TAKING AWAY FROM YOU BECAUSE I THINK YOU'RE GREAT AND I LOVE YOUR GAME. BUT I CAN'T LET PEOPLE SAY YOU THE BEST WHEN ERRYBODY KNOWS HOW GREAT I AM.

This isn't cool, man. You're going to make my list.

WHAT? I PLAYED WITH LEBRON ONCE AND I HAD A TRIPLE DOUBLE. THAT MEANS I AVERAGED A TRIPLE DOUBLE AGAINST THE MVP. YES I DO KEEP TRACK OF MY STATS IN PICKUP GAMES. SO MIKE, YOU'RE GOOD BUT I'M THE BEST. WHY WON'T YOU LET ME BE GREAT? I'M OUT.

I'd like to thank Kanye West for giving me the motivation to release my first rap record. I guarantee that any time I see him near a mic, I'm going at him.

Occasional Observations on Several Subjects

‘Twas a long weekend at Blowtorch base camp and I need to clear my brain of all thought basketball and non-basketball before I can go back to making jokes about basketball.

Glow in the Dark Tour:
Why wasn’t the order Rihanna, N.E.R.D., Lupe, Kanye? I think that’s what everyone wanted since we were in Chicago.

Lupe’s set was too short and he gave too much of his time up to his cronies who won’t do anything ever. He kind of seems like the guy who will do contrarian things just to be different. If he wasn’t such a good rapper, I’d probably hate him.

Pharrell wants to be a Rock Star (rather than a general superstar, which he is) so, so, so badly it’s funny. However, what he doesn’t realize is that drum solos are an assault to rock sensibilities everywhere. Furthermore, his subject matter is a hyper-sexualized update on 50s themes. Dancing, being “bad,” and going crazy are old hat.

I wonder if Common is sad that he is relegated to being a backup dancer for a glorified rock side project during his home city’s biggest hip-hop show of the year.

Chris Brown was FREAKING OUT when he was onstage with N.E.R.D. but didn’t appear during Rihanna’s “Cinderella.” Love on the rocks? Ain’t no big surprise.

Here’s a fun debate, worst dancer in hip-hop: Kanye, Lupe, or Pharrell?

It’s highly likely that Kanye fired someone after his mic didn’t turn on for the first four bars of “Homecoming.” Tough break.

According to the fiancée, Kanye was wearing some sort of jacket tied around his waist but it definitely looked like a skirt. I’m all for innovation but looking like a homosexual “California Love” extra isn’t a good look.

New part for “Hey Mama” gave me chills.

Best part of the concert, during the “leave yo a** for a white girl” part of “Gold Digger,” a large black guy pointed right at my fiancée. Awesome.

Sunday
I got in two big basketball debates at the annual barbecue: 1. Chris Paul could be the best point guard ever 2. NBA vs. NCAA. My extended thoughts follow.

On Chris Paul: I have a good sense of history of the game. I respect everything that’s been done and the legends and all that. But the season that Chris Paul just had was off the charts. It’s impossible to ignore that he has the potential to become the best point ever. However, that’s the sort of argument you can’t win. There’s no way to predict injuries. There’s no way to know if the Hornets franchise will cut payroll leaving CP by himself. But I can’t shake the feeling that he’s going to be legendary.

My buddy argued that the NCAA is better than the NBA for the worst reason ever. He said the NBA is inferior because there is a rule in place that prevents help defenders from staying in the lane. That’s it. He doesn’t like the NBA because it doesn’t allow for fundamental help defense. He didn’t see my point that that equates with good defenders being able to get to the help line even quicker, but I’m guessing that’s because he’s an idiot.

The NBA vs. NCAA debate is settled by choosing which side you’re on, talent or hustle. It’s that easy. If you like talent, you’re an NBA fan. If you like hustle, you’re an NCAA fan. There’s no other realm that the NCAA touches the NBA in, other than hustle. Could that be because the season is 1/3rd as long? Hmmmm……

That's all. Back to your regularly scheduled jokes about foreigners.

LeBron James and Kanye West : A Story of Triumph in Three Parts

Kanye's Graduation dropped today, and it really got me thinking about how closely his career thus far has mirrored that of LeBron James. That's not to say that LeBron is basketball's Kanye or vice versa, but the similarities between these two are straight-up eerie. Let's start where all good stories should -- at the beginning.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Act 1 - Young Rulers



LeBron James entered the League as the most hyped high schooler in my lifetime. The hoopla surrounding his debut was incalculable. Dude was on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a junior. And when the Cavs did terrible enough to secure his services, James was the first pick of the draft and went in to his rookie year as the prohibitive favorite to take home the ROY trophy; which he did after an impressive debut.

Compare that to the debut of Kanye West; after 3 years as a Jay-A apprentice, West released The College Dropout to deafening critical acclaim and commercial success. In time, the record would reach #2 on Billboard's Top 200 and #1 on the Hip-Hop and R&B charts. When trophy time in the music world came around, Kanye took home Grammys for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song. Standing on the cusp of greatness, both LeBron and Kanye sought to make their most important strides in their young careers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Act 2 - Fissures in the Towers




No matter what glory Late Registration received at the time, in retrospect, it pales in comparison to The College Dropout. Whether it was lyrical complacency, forced introspection, or attempting to live up to his own hype, Kanye West's sophomore effort falters where his debut was so strong. As has been well documented, Kanye became irritatingly brash, declaring for anyone who would listen that he was going to change rap forever. And though Late Registration debuted at #1, the extravagant orchestration, bizarre instrumentation, and more inward-looking lyrical approach now feels like listening to a man try to prove how great he thinks he is. West would go on to win the Grammy for Best Rap Album again, but his boasting left many people sour.

At this same time, LeBron James was taking home some serious hardware as well. Following his second and third seasons, LeBron was named to the 2nd and 1st All-NBA teams respectively. However, the Cavaliers failed to make the playoffs in the 04-05 season then lost in the Eastern Conference Semifinals in 05-06. It was around this time that LeBron began stating that he sought to be a global icon. Unfortunately, it was also in this time frame that many people began to question his ability to win a game in crunch time. Though both statements are hyperbolically overstated, LeBron's reputation took a bit of a hit.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Act 3 - Shackling the Masses


So here we are. As these two stories have traveled down parallel roads of redemption we come to present times and the most recent (and important) contributions that these two saviors have made.

Kanye West's Graduation is stunning in its restraint. That's not to say that this record isn't totally indulgent because it is. It's also not perfect as a whole but parts certainly are. Rather than continue to expand on his old soul style, Kanye has turned to Europe and fashioned himself as some kind of hybrid Dilla/Timbaland. Stringing together his trademark samples with icy, squelchy synthesizers West has improved upon his original modus operandi to the point that his new steez is wholly unique and untouchable. And though his losing the much ballyhooed showdown with Fitty would further entwine he and LeBron's careers, it won't happen.

Much like Kanyeezy, LeBron's last performance was his greatest accomplishment to date. His insane Game 5 explosion is the kind of thing we've been needing to appoint LeBron as the True Savior of the game we love. Though he was betrayed by less than stellar teammates in the Finals, the playoff manifesto that LeBron birthed is exactly what was expected of him. For the first time in his career, the true capabilities of this typhoon of basketball talent showed its terrifying force.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Postscript - Soothsaying


Both careers short but filled with eons of meaning. Two men simultaneously where they should be and nowhere near what they can become. The stories of LeBron James and Kanye West are quite incomplete, but it feels good to be able to experience something important. In the years to come, there is nothing but hope that these cats become exactly what they expect from themselves.
