Sound Off: Jameer Nelson

Jameer Nelson

“We’re going to make some adjustments and we’re going to win this game. I’m not being arrogant or cocky or anything like that. I think [Saturday] we let it slip out of our hands. Game 2 we let it slip out of our hands. We’re going to win this game in Detroit.”

- Orlando Magic point guard Jameer Nelson guaranteeing victory in Game 5 against Detroit.

Start packing your locker and thanks for playing, Jameer.

LeBron Good, Not Great, in Game 3

LeBron James

A good, but not great (by any means), game for LeBron James in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Boston had no match for the Cavaliers, losing 108-84, but still managed to give LeBron headaches from the field.

James was 5-for-16 from the field and had 21 points with eight assists and only two turnovers.

King James is still not playing up to his nickname.

He’s playing like his nickanme should be Court Jeseter James.

OVER-RATED!

Dealer Claims O.J. Simpson Killed Ex-Wife

O.J. Simpson

A memorabilia dealer is writing a tell-all book that claims O.J. Simpson admitted to killing his ex-wife, Nicole.

Do we really need a book to tell us that?

We ALL know O.J. did it (allegedly).

Mike Gilbert is releasing on Monday,  “How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Regret and Remorse.”

In the book, Gilbert explains that Simpson had smoked pot, took a sleeping pill and was drinking beer when he confided at his Brentwood home weeks after his trial.

If I was high, I might confess to a murder or two myself.

Are people really still trying to make a buck off a guy who is dead ass broke?

LeBron Is Still Looking A Bit Overrated

LeBron James

Another Cleveland loss, another no-show by LeBron James.

A reader by the name of “Ank” left a comment about my first LeBron post and said “get some balls and stick to the script.”

I’m sticking to the script that LeBron James is looking a bit overrated.

The regular season is one thing but the playoffs is when it matters.

James scored 21 points on a dismal 6-for-24 shooting from the field (0-for-4 from three point range) with seven more turnovers as the Cavaliers lost 89-73 to the Celtics.

Forget what LeBron did against Washington.

Washington is not Boston.

Once you put a real defender on LeBron James and the Cavaliers forward is reduced to an inconsistent scorer and a liability on the floor with his staggering turnover numbers.

Averaging more turnovers (8.5 tpg) than field goals made (4) per game in the Eastern Conference semifinals is not going to get it done.

Go ahead LeBron fans, defend your boy…

Cedric Benson Loves To Party With Mom

Cedric Benson

The first photo from the Cedric Benson boating incident last weekend have popped up on the Internet.

Benson, the 25-year-old Chicago Bears running back, was arrested and showered with pepper-spray last Saturday night on his motorboat during a random stop by police on Lake Travis, Texas.

According to police, Benson had bloodshot eyes, a “strong” alcohol odor, slurred speech and was charged with boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest.

Both sides have conflicting stories, with Benson claiming that he wasn’t intoxicated despite alcohol being on the boat.

The police described Benson as “combative,” “cocky,” “insulting” and was using “profanity.”

Someone is lying, and I’m calling BS on Benson’s story, just for the simple fact he’s actually partying with his mom (pictured in the middle).

Shane Mosley-Zab Judah May 31st Fight Cancelled

news_hp_mosley_judah_chat1.jpg

The “Sugar” Shane Mosley vs. Zab Judah fight scheduled for May 31 has been cancelled after Judah suffered multiple severe lacerations on his right forearm and received 50 stitches to close the wounds during an accidental fall.

Both fighters were scheduled to hold live chats on BET.com this week but those were also canceled in the process.

Best of luck to Judah as he recovers from what sounds like a nasty injury.

Mike Vick Ordered To Pay Canadian Bank $2.4 Million

Michael Vick

I hope Michael Vick is prepared to turn some tricks in prison.

Because he owes a Canadian bank a whole lot of money.

A federal judge ordered that the imprisoned quarterback repay more than $2.4 million to the Royal Bank of Canada after defaulting on a loan.

Damn, Mike?

Defaulting on a loan?

I don’t know what’s lower - Vick’s credit score or his QB ratings when he was with the Falcons.

Carmelo Anthony Really Needs A Chauffeur

Carmelo Anthony

Oh, Carmelo.

Not another traffic incident, homie.

Carmelo was issued a speeding ticket for going 60 mph in a 45 mph zone on Saturday in Denver according to the local authorities.

A ticket for driving 60 mph in a 45?

Driving While Black is in full effect in the Mile High city.

Melo has no court date for the speeding ticket but has to appear in front of a judge on June 5 to enter a plea for his DUI arrest in April.

I hope this isn’t a preview of what fans can expect when they watch “Carmelo’s Way” on BETJ.

LeBron James Looking a Bit Overrated

LeBron James

DeShawn Stevenson might be right.

LeBron James is looking a bit overrated.

Check out this stat line from Tuesday’s 76-72 loss in Game 1 against the Boston Celtics.

2-for-18 from the field, 0-for-6 from three point land, 12 points and 10 turnovers.

Yeah, yeah, the nine assists and rebounds are great, but 10 turnovers?

LeBron’s performance was so bad that he easily overshadowed Ray Allen’s squadush in 37 minutes.

If you wondered why LeBron James name wasn’t being tossed around , this is why.

Chris Henry Allowed to Tryout for NFL Teams

Chris HenryWide receiver Chris Henry and his electronic monitoring system could be coming to a town near you.

A judge has allowed Henry to travel in order to tryout for NFL teams, as the troubled 24-year-old is on house arrest after allegedly punching Gregory Meyer, 18, in the head and throwing a beer can through the window of Meyer’s car.

You think Chris has called up T.I. for some advice on what to do in order to kill the time?

If Pacman Jones can land a new contract, it’s only a matter of a time before a team offers a contract to Henry, who is a talented wide receiver when he’s not in trouble off the field.

Assuming he is signed by a NFL team, there is a great possibility that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will drop the hammer and suspend Henry for the season.

Let this be a lesson to you, kids.

Crime does not pay.

And knowing is half the battle.
