NBA Ledend Moses Malone Dead at 60 Years Old

Reports are coming in that famed NBA legend Moses Malone, has died. He was 60 years old.

Moses Malone, a three-time NBA MVP and one of the greatest players in professional basketball history, has died at 60, according to multiple reports.

Malone died in his sleep at a hotel in Virginia where he was set to play in a golf tournament, former teammate Calvin Murphy told Fox 26 in Houston.

Malone went straight to the ABA from high school in 1974 and starred in the startup league before becoming a legend when the ABA and NBA merged. He became a monster on the boards in Houston, leading the league with 17.6 rebounds per game in 1979 as he won his first MVP award. The team confirmed the loss of the Rocket legend on Twitter.

The following statement is from The Philadelphia 76ers.

“It is with a deep sense of sadness that the Sixers family mourns the sudden loss of Moses Malone. It is difficult to express what his contributions to this organization – both as a friend and player – have meant to us, the city of Philadelphia and his faithful fans. Moses holds a special place in our hearts and will forever be remembered as a genuine icon and pillar of the most storied era in the history of Philadelphia 76ers basketball. No one person has ever conveyed more with so few words — including three of the most iconic in this city’s history. His generosity, towering personality and incomparable sense of humor will truly be missed. We will keep his family in our thoughts and prayers and as we are once again reminded of the preciousness of life.”

This Photo of Cop Hugging Suspect Who Tried to Stab Him Has Gone VIRAL

In a post on his Facebook page, Police Officer JD Boyd from Raleigh North Carolina said it best – “”I was glad it ended well for us both that day.”

Officer JD Boyd explained;

Almost a year ago this man and I were involved in a major altercation where he tried to stab me in the head and I nearly shot him. Today we ran into each other again and I learned that after his time in prison and some help from probation he now has a full time job and has another son on the way that will be here in November. I was glad it ended well for us both that day and I am ecstatic now to learn that he has turned his life around and we can embrace as friends.

No one is ever lost forever and as long as you continue to work to be a better version of yourself than you were yesterday things will work out eventually.

With some police resorting to their gun to settle all disputes, it’s good to see a story where a police officer had every right to be afraid, but somehow found the courage and not take the coward’s way out by pulling the trigger.

Former Professional Tennis Player Wrongly Tackled and Arrested in New York – Video

His crime? I don’t know, but if I were to guess, his crime was standing in front a hotel while waiting for a ride to the U.S Open. That is when James Blake was tackled, thrown to the ground and handcuffed by a plainclothes New York Police officer.

Yes, that’s the same James Blake I’m talking about. The former professional Tennis player who had a rather impressive record during his playing days with 10 singles titles and 7 doubles titles.

The incident is now apparently a case of mistaken identity. For his troubles, Blake suffered bruises on his leg and a cut on his elbow. He was later released after police realized they had wrestled and arrested the wrong man.

New Orleans Pastor Kills Self After He Was Outed on Ashley Madison

 

According to his wife Christi, 56-year old John Gibson – a pastor and professor in New Orléans – struggled with addiction and depression in the past. And on August 24th after it was revealed by hackers that he frequented the cheaters website Ashley Madison, Christi found him dead in their home.

“It was a moment that life doesn’t prepare you for,” Christi told CNN. “How do you tell your kids that their dad is gone and that he took his own life?”

Christi also told CNN Gibson left a suicide note with an apology—she didn’t say what for, but the note did mention Ashley Madison. She also said her husband had struggled with addiction and depression in the past.

Gibson was set to teach classes at the New Orléans Baptist Theological Seminary the day after his death, but since the Seminary’s president announced Gibson’s death on Twitter, students and other teachers have been mourning him on Facebook.

Dick Cheney – Wrong then, Wrong now – Video

 

Dick Cheney is wrong. That’s all I need to say and this post will be complete.

But I’ll explain.

The former vice president, who has been wrong on everything that has to do with Iraq, went on Fox News last week. The host asked Mr Cheney to explain why anyone should listen to him on the Iran Deal, when he has been consistently wrong on Iraq.

“Because I was right about Iraq,” Cheney replied.

Newsflash – Dick Cheney lies a lot too!

That statement prompted the White House to released the following video showing just some of the many instances where Cheney has been wrong on Iraq, and the release of the video just happens to coincides with a Republican anticipated speech given by the former VP.

Man Shoots Self in Head While Demonstrating How Safe His Gun Was

Can you say dumb ass gun nut?

The dumb ass in this case is 23-year-old Phoenix resident Christen Reece. After bar-hopping with his six friends  around 2 or 3AM last Tuesday morning, someone announced the marvelous idea of going to shoot guns!

“You know, there’s not really a lot to the story other than don’t drink and shoot guns,” explains Jim Molesa, chief deputy of the Navajo County Sheriff’s Office. “They were partying in the Valley, and then when the bars closed around 2 or 3, someone said, ‘Let’s go to the high country and shoot guns.’”

So the story goes Reece was so happy with his gun’s double safety feature that after bragging to his friends about how secure it was, he took the gun to his temple ato demonstrate and pulled the trigger. This is the point where I’ll say the gun did the shooting!

Reece dropped to the ground bleeding. His frantic friends took his body to a local fire station and ran away. The injuries were too much to handle at the fire station so Reece’s body was airlifted and taken to Scottsdale Osborn hospital and immediately taken into surgery. He remains in critical condition a day later.

Freddie Gray’s Parents Awarded $6.4 Million in Freddie Gray’s Death

No award is going to bring back Freddie Gray, but $6.4 million is a step in the right direction.

The deal, announced Tuesday, appeared to be among the largest settlements in police death cases in recent years and happened just days before a judge is set to decide whether to move a trial for six officers charged in Gray’s death.

Gray’s spine was injured April 12 in the back of a prisoner transport van after he was arrested. Gray, a 25-year-old black man, died at the hospital a week later. In the aftermath, Gray became a symbol of the contentious relationship between the police and the public in Baltimore, as well as the treatment of black men by police in America.

The settlement still needs the approval of a board that oversees city spending. That board will meet Wednesday morning.

“The proposed settlement agreement going before the Board of Estimates should not be interpreted as a judgment on the guilt or innocence of the officers facing trial,” Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said in a news release. “This settlement is being proposed solely because it is in the best interest of the city, and avoids costly and protracted litigation that would only make it more difficult for our city to heal and potentially cost taxpayers many millions more in damages.”

President Obama Eating Leftover Salmon from a Bear – Video

Reminds me of an episode of Naked and Afraid, where the contestants came upon a dead rodent. Almost dying of thirst and hunger, the naked contestants ponder whether to eat the deceased animal. They did not know how long the animal had died, they did not know what caused its death or if it had a disease. But hunger is a mother-father, and the decision was made to feast on the beast!

No, the president wasn’t naked, not I’m not sure if he was afraid. But he and his guide came across a dead salmon, partly eaten by a bear. “Why wouldn’t the bear finish this sucker?” the President asked. His guide, a man named Bear Grylls, answered that bears usually eat the fattest parts of the meat, along with the eggs and skin.

And with that, the rest of the salmon carcass was put on a fire and cooked up. The President’s only critique? That there weren’t any crackers to go with the fish.

“It would have been nice if we had a cracker to go with it,” Mr. Obama said.
