Just kidding, his freestyle rapping sucks, but his diss to Kobe is pretty funny until he repeats “Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes” 5+ times in a row. This video is courtesy of TMZ’s paparazzi folk who happened to spot the big cactus on stage after taking the mic at a New York City club.

Funny tidbit from the TMZ post:

After spending several verses shredding Kobe apart for losing in the NBA playoffs, Shaq drops the line, “I’m a horse, Kobe ratted me out, that’s why I’m getting divorced.”

The line most likely references a comment Kobe made during his infamous 2003 rape case, when he told Colorado police that he “Should have done what Shaq does … Shaq would pay his women not to say anything.” The two became famously bitter rivals after the incident.

Sorry I haven’t updated, been in the middle of a move. I just wanted to say, CONGRATULATIONS to the Kansas Jayhawks for their fantastic win today. I happened to catch their game while I unpacked.

For those who don’t know, the Jayhawks have not gotten near the final four since Bill Self took over for Roy Williams. And today the Jayhawks proved themselves better than their prior coach… Mr. Roy Williams, hah, yeah they kicked butt versus North Carolina. Let’s hope that they kick butt in the game versus Memphis on April 7th! I’ll be watching.

Kevin Johnson, ex-Phoenix Suns player, is running for Mayor. Johnson has spent the years after his retire from basketball working on developing the low-economy Sacramento neighborhood that he grew up in.

I don’t believe this is the same case as the Schwarzenegger thing since he has invested so much time and money on developing the community. But I do believe he will get more votes than his opponent, Heather Fargo, “who has governed the capital city as it has slid into a deep real estate slump.”

“We need a change in the city and I believe we need a change now,” Johnson said. “As I went out the last month and talked to people around the city, folks have said to me they believe city government is nonresponsive, tired, uninspired and bureaucratic. They want something different in Sacramento. (They’re) clamoring for change.”

The former Phoenix guard’s nonprofit community development corporation, St. HOPE, transformed the failing Sacramento High School into a successful charter school.

St. HOPE also developed the 40 Acres Art Gallery and Cultural Center, with a book store, lofts and Starbucks, in the commercial heart of Oak Park.

But, he does have his faults. Don’t let his success turn you into a glaze-eyed zombie who runs out and votes for him immediately. Apparently Johnson failed to keep up other run-down properties he bought with an eye toward redeveloping them.

Johnson was forced to issue a public apology after The Sacramento Bee ran a story that said half his group’s 37 Oak Park properties had been cited for code violations over a 10-year period. Vacant lots had been left fallow and had become filled with garbage.

Johnson has since moved to clean up the properties and said he would press ahead with his redevelopment plans by bringing a Fresh & Easy market to a key Oak Park intersection.

If you are short and petite like me, having any one run at you would make you a little nervous.  For Kenny George it was no problem when Tyler Hansbrough came charging at him, with his “Psycho T” game face on, from center court.  George just stretched his arms straight up, which is what he usually does to block people since he is a whopping 7-foot-7.  Hansbrough’s 6-foot-10 body was able to jump over George’s arms and dunk the ball!

George was surprised since he hasn’t had anyone try to pass him like that in over 3 years.  I’m pretty sure if I was that tall I would be thinking the same thing.

Hansbrough helped his team win the game by gaining 23 points towards their 93-81 victory over North Carolina-Asheville on Wednesday Night.

Starting at the free throw line, Hansbrough charged down the left side of the lane, leaped and threw a two-handed dunk over George’s outstretched arms. The dunk — the first against George in at least three years, he said — started the Tar Heels’ game-clinching 13-4 run and sent the crowd at the Dean Smith Center into delirium.

“I saw him coming to the basket. I just kept my hands straight up,” George said. “I had him. I just forgot to jump. He jumped. I didn’t jump. I should have known than a 6-10 player as athletic as him was able to jump over my hands even if I go straight up.”

star is being sued by a 23-year old model. The girl is claiming that he groped and threatened her n a Manhattan night club.

Kidd’s spokesman denies the allegations. calling it a “false” and “defamatory” attempt to get money out of the wealthy basketball player. [Kidd earns almost $20 million a year.]

The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan’s state Supreme Court, said Kidd “battered and assaulted” the woman in the Lower West Side club on Oct. 10 when he “grabbed her buttocks and crotch on multiple occasions.”

Apparently he was staring at her, he walked over and groped her and shoved her against the wall saying “‘If we have a fight, who do you think is going to win?”

A spokesman for the New York City Police Department confirmed on Oct. 17 that the woman had filed a criminal complaint against the NBA All Star, accusing him of the acts now alleged in the lawsuit that was filed Thursday.

But Adler said the district attorney’s office told him late Friday that prosecutors would not pursue charges against Kidd.

The woman’s lawsuit asks for unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.

Kidd’s lawyer, Paul Grand, issued a statement that said, “We have not yet seen the complaint, but these claims were false when they were first fabricated two months ago, and they remain false today. This lawsuit is nothing more than a brazen and defamatory search for a payout.”

Grand’s spokesman also said prosecutors told him no charges would be filed against Kidd.
