Law enforcement sources tell us, Pippen turned himself in to authorities in Malibu moments ago. He’s being booked for felony assault with intent to commit great bodily harm.
Pippen allegedly brutalized an autograph seeker outside Nobu restaurant Sunday night. The man was knocked out after Pippen allegedly punched him in the face and kicked him repeatedly.
..well actually the Clippers were quite a force for the past two seasons really but now they’ve just landed an amazing coach, Doc Rivers, from the Boston Celtics. Yes, after eight days and what seemed like constant “on then off again” trade talks, the deal has been reached between both teams to let Doc Rivers out of his current Boston contract and be able to sign with the L.A Clippers; In return the Celtics will be given a future unprotected 2015 first round draft pick.
Welcome to the Western Conference Doc
It’s clearly obvious that the Clippers got the best end of this deal; with the experience and resume of such a coach this will surely secure free agent to be Chris Paul into signing a long term contract with the Clippers, word on the internet is that he really pushed to get Doc Rivers on board. Back on the East Coast the Celtics seem like a boat without a rudder now. The team now lacks a head coach with a roster not fit to compete but in a total rebuilding mode; Veteran Paul Pierce may be bought out by the Celtics or traded at the deadline, Kevin Garnett may also be traded away. They also need to find a head coach, I do hope they give Brian Shaw a call and a much deserved chance.
Doc Rivers loved coaching Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce
I can’t help but feel sad for Boston fans. While they knew a total rebuild had to happen sooner rather than later, to be on the verge of losing a lot memorable faces must be hard, especially in such a fashion. I wish the best for Doc Rivers, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce this up coming NBA season. Things will sure be different…
From a Knicks fan, I’ll be the first to stand up and say congratulations to the Miami Heat for winning the NBA championship for the second year in a row. I’m not necessarily fond of LaBron, but I must give props where props is due. And tonight, props is due.
If things had turned out differently in the last minutes of game six, we would have sung a different tune. But it takes the heart of a champ for the Heat to turn what looked like a game 6 loss and turn it into a game 7 win.
Final score was The Heat 95, San Antonio 88. LaBron had a great game, scoring 37 points on 12/23 shooting. James also camped out at the three point line, hitting 5 of 10 threes.
Where does the line of respect for one’s privacy begin and end? It seems that the Internet has no recollection of the meaning and any regard for boundaries. As a matter of fact, I won’t blame the Internet, I will blame the insensitive people behind the keyboards. It is them whom are the deciding factor on what is and not posted via their outlets.
This morning, a popular celebrity site (the same site who broke the story that Micheal Jackson was dead and that Lil Wayne was on his deathbed) repeated an indecent crime against domestic violence survivors. The first offense came when they aired the horrific photos of Rihanna–bruised and beaten after being attacked by her then boyfriend Chris Brown. Today, it is Evelyn Lozada who feels the embarrassment of having her vulnerable disfigured face on the cover of the news.
Brian Banks spent five years in prison after a woman falsely accused him of rape in 2002, and now accuser Wanetta Gibson has been ordered to pay $2.6 million in damages to the Long Beach Unified School District.
Once a star football prospect at Long Beach Poly High, Banks was convicted, lost his scholarship offer from USC and was sent to jail. Gibson sued the school district, citing an unsafe environment, and won $750,000 in the dispute.
It was only after Gibson admitted to lying that Banks was freed in 2012.
Gibson now owes the district $750,000, including court fees, and is on the line for more than $1 million in punitive damages.
Tim Tebow has only been in the league for three years and has already played for two different teams, the Denver Broncos which he was originally drafted and most recently the horrible experience in New York with the Jets. Now though after being rejected by the Jacksonville Jaguars, the entire Canadian Football League, and even the Arena Football League, he has been signed by the powerhouse New England Patriots for and undisclosed length and money.
If Bill Belichick can’t find a use for Tebow I’ll be shocked
While I am not a Tim Tebow fan I am very happy for him to have been signed to a team. Tebow has the heart and desire to compete that most stars lack on top of that he has the work ethic to match that of any superstar. I’m glad he’s finally on a team that can utilize his skills that he will bring, especially since he is now working again with ex Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels once again in New England. Most importantly the media circus that has followed Tebow around his rather short career will be silenced in New England as all media circus’s have been before. I wish Tim Tebow the best of luck and most of all I am happy he may finally have a chance to play the game he so desperately wants to.
Jay-Z’s upstart sports agency has received another big boost, as a source confirmed to ESPN on Friday night that Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant will leave his current agent to join Roc Nation Sports.
The source said Durant believes he doesn’t need a contract agent now because he signed an $85 million extension with the Thunder in 2010 that will take him through the 2015-16 season. Instead, Durant — already one of the most marketable players in the league — has told those close to him that he wants to increase his brand.
A spokesman for Roc Nation Sports told ESPN that Durant is not currently a client. It’s unknown whether Jay-Z will wait until he sells his small ownership share in the Brooklyn Nets – it’s believed he owns between one-fifth and one-fifteenth of 1 percent of the team — before signing Durant. A source tells ESPN that Jay-Z’s ownership sale has not yet been completed.
If Jay-Z is just doing marketing work for Durant, he might be able to steer clear of NBA rules that would prohibit him from representing a player and owning a piece of a team.
Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees looks on against the Boston Red Sox during Opening Day at Yankee Stadium on April 1, 2013 in the Bronx borough of New York City.
Major League Baseball will seek to suspend Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun and several other players for their connections to a performance-enhancing drug scandal involving Biogenesis, according to ESPN.
A report by T.J. Quinn, Pedro Gomez and Mike Fish for ESPN’s “Outside The Lines” published on Tuesday indicates that MLB will seek to suspend approximately 20 players, including Rodriguez and Braun, for their part in the sport’s latest performance-enhancing drugs scandal.
The Big Three (From left to right: Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade, and Lebron James) were meant to be dominate for years to come
In today’s world of basketball a superstar cannot take his team to the Finals, or even deep into the playoffs for that matter, anymore. No longer will we see superstars like Allen Iverson take a cap strapped and D-League talent team into the Finals. In today’s basketball world it takes two superstars and one star to carry a team into the playoffs, that is what we know as “The Big Three”. The Spurs have Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, and Manu Ginobli and we’ve seen the Celtics have their own in Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett. None though were ever as feared than Miami’s Big Three in superstars Dwayne Wade and Lebron James coupled with the star power in Chris Bosh. Around those core three a full team was built and made to win, no not just win, but to dominate the National Basketball League for years to come. Why then are the Miami Heat one game away from elimination? One game away from throwing away a season where the Miami Heat earned 66 wins and an almost record breaking 27 game win streak; One game away from what was suppose to be years of dominance being thrown away.
Rather the less famous of the Miami’s Big Three is Power Forward Chris Bosh
While Chris Bosh is not a superstar, he is easily the most important role player on the Miami Heat. His first two seasons in Miami he’s averaged around 18 PPG and around 8 RPG. In this series with Indiana though he’s come up small, so small he might as be invisible. His numbers suggest he’s in a slump (11.3 PPG, 3.7 RPG, and shooting 41.1%) and he’s even admitted he’s just not feeling his normal self. Granted Bosh is battling an ankle “injury” it can’t be that serious seeing how he has started all the games in the playoffs and only against Indiana has he really fallen off.
The Heat use to be Dwayne Wade’s team before Lebron
Oh the once athletic and high flying Dwayne Wade has started to show the wear and tear of playing basketball the way he does. We all knew Wade was hurting with his chronic knee problems but we never knew the extent of it until this series. His play vs Indiana has shown him miss open shots, easy lay ups, and just not the superstar caliber play we’ve seen Wade play with his entire career; he’s averaging only 14.0 points per game, a post season career low for him. Dwayne has been quoted by saying that the Heat cannot win with Lebron James playing hero ball and that James needs to trust the team and play the way the Heat did to win their last title.
The King is poised to either rise above the rest or watch the “Big Three” era crumble
Tonight all eye’s will be on Wade, James, and Bosh. Will we see a resurgence in Dwayne Wade’s ability to play like he use to? Will we see Bosh become that perfect complimentary piece to James and Wade? If those two continue to hide in the shadows when the spot light is on them, we can all safely say that the era of Miami’s “Big Three” is over and that King James now stands alone in his court.
They can stand and face a 105 mph fastball, but last night, the macho men of the New York Yankees and Boston Redsox players huddled and cuddled together in their respective dugout, jumping like chickens as a storm passed by.
Especially energetic in his response was Brett Gardner of the Yankees, who almost jumped out of his skin in fear, trying to take cover.
Photos of the blood-spattered bathroom where Oscar Pistorius shot his girlfriend to death have surfaced on the web … and they could prove to be crucial pieces of evidence in the runner’s defense.The pics were taken from outside the bathroom door in the Blade Runner’s South African mansion … and show two bullet holes in the bathroom door … along with a pool of blood by the toilet … and a blood trail leading to the stairs.
Another pic shows blood drops on the stairs … where Oscar says he carried Reeva while trying to call for help.
Oscar admits he shot and killed Reeva Steenkamp on February 14 … but insists it was an accident.
In fact, Pistorius told investigators he grabbed his gun and fired 4 shots into the bathroom that night … but only because he thought an intruder snuck into his house and was hiding in the toilet. The holes in the door could back Oscar’s defense … that he truly didn’t know who was in the bathroom when he opened fire.
Of course, the person in the bathroom was Reeva — who ultimately died from her wounds. Oscar was arrested and charged with murder.
