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.
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.

Shaq Trade from the Heat to the Suns, is he out of gas?

MSNBC had this bulleted list over on an article of theres, this is what the critics seem to be going nuts over:
- Shaq can’t play anymore.
- He’s not going to be satisfied just being a defensive player and inbounder.
- He’s too slow to keep up with the Suns speed and fast break.
- Western teams play small and who will he defend?
- He’s out of shape and always injured.
- D’Antoni doesn’t like a postup or halfcourt game, which was Shaq’s specialty when he was the Big Diesel.
- He was complaining about his touches even in Miami.
- Are you taking the ball out of Steve Nash’s hands to run offense through Shaq?
- Shaq didn’t defend the pick and roll even in L.A.
- Marion was the Suns best defender.
- It’s just an overreaction to the Lakers getting Pau Gasol and the Mavericks reportedly trying to get Shaq in their game, which does feature more half court.
Shaq’s big thing is that he is big, which can be a good thing, but in this case it is not. Being big on a basketball court just allows your to block super well, but the Suns big thing is that they have an incredibly fast offense, will Shaq slow them down?
I remember Shaq from the old days, back from when everyone worshiped him and tolerated his horrible video game skills in Shaq-Fu. Now a days, Shaq just might be out of gas.
Now that the Suns have their Virtual Locker Room up, what do you think the chances of seeing some Shaq memorabilia around, you know like a Kazaam poster or a flash version of the Shaq-Fu game?

We posted a kick ass commercial a couple week back about Steve Nash and The NBA “Where Amazing Happens” now we have something new that just launched from the Suns that could end up being very cool, The Suns Virtual Locker Room.
It’s not a lot different than many other “green screen” flash driven interactive time wasters but this one looks like it will go pretty deep and have some funny stuff in it for Suns fans and anyone that likes to dig around.
