Ron Artest "All Around The World"

Ron Artest "All Around The World": Ron Artest's rap career is really, um, taking off. I got an e-mail asking me to be on the look out for more music/freestyles from him, including a DJ Drama mixtape.


Yes, I'm scared too.

It's Artest, Homie

MP3

The Kings' Ron Artest is reigniting his Rap Dreams, but I am not sure using Biggie lyrics and the instrumental to "Crank Dat (Soulja Boy)" are gonna do it, homie. Good luck, though!

(Sacramento Kings) Cheerleaders Gone Wild

I guess with no Mike Bibby in Sactown anymore, the Kings cheerleaders had some free time to shoot some racy pics of them drinking... and showing their thongs:

Didn't know it was quite like THAT! Gotta love those "accidental" leaks...

Off To The A

Mike Bibby got sent to the Hawks yesterday for Tyronn Lue, Anthony Johnson, Lorenzen Wright & Shelden Williams, along with a second-round draft pick. Yeah, I'm not sure who most of those cats are, either. It's a good look for Atlanta, though, as long as Bibby is on his grind.

Hang Time: Dahntay Jones

You would think Dahntay Jones would take it easy on the team from his home state, but nah, he exposes our defense and then comes with the one-handed reverse jam:



My Nets ended up losing... again.

Dahntay's Lament

Damn, homey. In high school you was the MAN homey, what the f*ck happened to you?


In all seriousness, though, I am kind of shook that a local boy who made it, Dahntay Jones, was just waived by the Kings the other day. He had actually just gotten signed by them in December, but in TrueHoop's recent post on the heavy WAIVE day we just had, Dahntay showed up.

It's weird; neph is one year older than me, and I never really spoke to him, but in elementary school, I saw him play a few times. He had skills then. Really cool dude. I was never surprised when he went from Steinert HS in Hamilton to Rutgers then onto Duke (playing alongside cats like Carlos Boozer, Shane Battier and Mike Dunleavy Jr. in the 2000-01 Blue Devils Championship season). It was inevitable that he'd be in the Pros, and turning on Grizzlies games in the past, I felt that hometown pride. Anyone who grew up or knows about Trenton, NJ, it's hard to shake that stigma the world gives you on that. He overcame all of that, and one can only hope he gets back on his grind and gets re-signed by someone.

Best of luck, my dude.

EDIT: On a note from Anonymous, I reread the article and realized my mistake, that Dahntay was NOT released, but he is currently on a non-guaranteed, 1 year contract with the Kings. So, he's good for a non-guaranteed year. And yes, he's playing solid, so he shouldn't have a problem getting a new contract at the end of the season. Still and all, best of luck to the man.

Patiently Waiting

That's a skill I've learned, being a Nets fan since Derrick Coleman was a rookie. When you come to realize that most teams are truly just getting by, waiting to either get an ill player to make it all pop, or just lose enough to get a good draft pick, you can rest easy knowing that, hey, these games don't matter...

Who am I kidding?! All of these games matter, but do you think New Jersey is playing that way? Let's recap the last week in the Nets' life:

  • News of Eddie Gill getting waived hit on the 12th. He wasn't a star, and with Darrell Armstrong & Marcus Williams on the way back, the room for a 4th PG was lacking.
  • Rod Thorn let it be known that he is not even trying to hear offers for Jason Kidd... at this time. He did let it be known that the Nets need to turn things around, and fast, with speculation being that a trade is in the works.
  • Kidd and Vince Carter were 2nd and 3rd in the Eastern Conference All-Star voting, which is weird. You'd think someone as old as Kidd, who can't get an equal in trade talk, wouldn't even be on anyone's radar...
  • Speaking of Kidd, Jane Doe is suing him for groping her butt and crotch at a nightclub. I'd imagine he didn't do this, I mean that sounds crazy weird, but who knows...
  • Friday the 14th saw the Nets pummel the Cavs on both sides of the court, getting a 105-97 win at home. Sean Williams suited up and came off the bench to much praise; Carter & RJ dropped 32 and 24, respectively, in a great second half performance.
  • Saturday the 15th found the Nets getting rocked by the Knicks, in New York, in an offense-less 94-86 loss. With Jefferson knocking down 14(!?!?!) points on 7-21 shooting, you can just think of how bad the rest of the squad did. Poor performance.

Which takes us to last night's disappointing loss to the Kings. The end score was close (106-101), but with the Nets delivering 22 turnovers (half coming from Kidd and Jefferson), as well as our apparent inability to defend the three point shot (Sactown was something like 13-for-21 from downtown), and us letting John Salmons come up with a career-high 31 point night, it just wasn't in the cards. S-Dub did come up with 11 points, 7 boards and 8 blocks in his start last night, but sadly it was the only true highlight to another game we could have won, given we tightened it up.

We're now at 10-15, when we should be over .500 right now. Sadly, without some change (whether it be with the bodies in the uniforms or the brains in their heads), we will continue to get by like Kweli. There's no reason, in a conference as scattershot as the East, for the Nets to not be capitalizing. We're a top team but that's in the sack of losers. We can do it, but when will we realize that?
