Kyrie Irving Archives

A quick glance at her GoFundMe page shows the top doner is currently Kyrie Irving, an NBA player on the Dallas Mavericks. But Irving is not the only celebrity to donate to Ms. Josephine Wright, the grandmother to 40, great-grandmother to 50, and great-great-grandmother to 16 children. Snoop Dogg and Tyler Perry have also stepped up to the plate.

“I did it from the heart,” Snoop Dogg told CNN after giving $10,000. “She reminds me of my mother and grandmother.”

According to WSAV, the South Carolina woman, whose family has ties to the Civil War, says developers are trying to force her to sell her land by using harassment and what she calls a “frivolous lawsuit.”

“I’ve pretty much been a fighter all my life,” said Josephine Wright.

Bailey Point Investment Group brought the lawsuit against Josaphine Wright after their offer to buy the property was refused. Ms. Wright even demolished a shed the investment group said was on their land. But when demands were made to destroy her porch, Ms. Wright drew the line.

“It puzzled me at first,” she said, “but then it got me angry.”

In an Instagram post, Tyler Perry pledged his support. “I’ve pretty much been a fighter all my life” — he wrote, “Ms. Wright, please tell me where to show up and what you need to help you fight.”

“This house means it’s a home,” Josephine Wright said, “it’s a place where I want to be at this age.”

Keep Dreaming Cleveland..

There is no secret behind the end of the 2014 NBA season and that years top free agent, Lebron James. There is also no secret behind top marquee teams, I’m looking at you L.A Lakers, freeing up cap space that year to land the current best player in the NBA. There is also no surprise behind the rumors of “The King” returning to his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers for one last stint. To that I say: Keep dreaming Cleveland.

Lebron James left Cleveland in 2010

It’s sad to see how quickly the Cleveland Cavaliers fell after the departure of Lebron James back in 2010. They fired coach Mike Brown, who they just recently rehired, months before James left. Since then there’s very very little they’ve gotten right outside of their lottery pick up of up and coming All Star Kyrie Irving. Since 2010 they’ve gone 19-63, 21-45, and 24-58 under coach Byron Scott, who is now unemployed.

Cleveland fans would love a Mike Brown and Lebron James reunion

Entering the 2014 season the Cleveland Cavaliers will have an estimated $29 million in free cap space to sign a number of players or just give Lebron a max contract and a blank check. I can’t say I have much faith in the Cavaliers front office to work out a smart business decision, but players such as Luol Deng, Rudy Gay, Andre Iguodala, and Paul George are all free agents that year as well. Match any of them with Kyrie Irving and you will easily have an amazing duo to play and dominate in the immediate future.

Current Cavaliers Point Guard Kyrie Irving

Speaking of Kyrie, he is the only person the Cav’s front office should be concerned of keeping very happy. He is the only player on the roster who a team should be built around. Hey Cleveland! Kyrie Irving is going to be an All Star very soon, he’s going to be a top Point Guard in this league even sooner; Cleveland, this is your next star!

Here I can do it for you Cavaliers front office and best of all is that I won’t charge you a penny. Throw out your pipe dreams of landing Lebron in 2014 and start shopping the free agent market, use your incredibly valuable top draft picks wisely, and also keep Mike Brown around for his contract length, he is a good coach.

Lastly…if I was a Cavaliers fan I’d never want a star player who went out like this, back in my hometown’s uniform.
