NBA Getting White Boy Dirk Nowitzki To The Finals!!!!!!!!

This is pathetic on all levels, the NBA is trying  to get Dirk Nowitzki to the NBA Finals. It's pathetic defenders can't breathe on him and it's a foul. Kevin Durrant the league's leading scorer can't buy a foul in this series. Yes Dirk is a great shooter, yes he's a great free throw shooter, but he's also a big time flopper and can't play defense. Dirk couldn't guard a telephone poll. Jeff Van Gumby calling Dirk "legendary" is sickening. He's a great offensive player, that is it and that is all. He's also helped that defenders aren't allowed to touch him which gives him clear spaces to shoot the ball. Anybody that has played basketball on a high level knows it's easier when you have a lot of space to shoot the ball. Before they change the way a guy could play defense where you can't extend your arm Dirk Nowitzki was just an above average player. I contend he could not have played in the 80's and early 90's with the physical defenders back then. Also zone defenses have conspired to hide terrible defensive players like Dirk in the zone defenses. I for one hope the Mavericks do not win the title. But it's going to be tough with David Stern behind the Mavericks making it to the Finals. They are one game from the Finals and we will see more of the same. Breathe on Dirk and it's a foul. My only thing is treat all the players the same, if it's a foul, it's a foul, when Dirk pushes off it's an offensive foul(which he does alot). Yes in the 80's Larry Bird got alot of the same treatment but at least he hit the boards( over 10 rebound average for his career). Also Bird played team defense and did get some steals. To be a great player you have to be able to play both ends of the court, not just offense. And while Dirk is a Top 10 player in the league right now, HE IS NOT A TOP 10 OR TOP 30 PLAYER IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS AN INSULT TO THE GREATS OF THE PAST!!!!!!!!!!! And also if you can play it shouldn't matter what your race is, treat all the players the same. NBA needs to not treat Dirk as a great white hope. This is my rant for today. God Bless everyone. Peace to the creatures.     

America's Obsession With Cell Phones!!!!!!!!!

My wife told me about a guy riding on his bicycle on Northwestern University's campus. He was riding with flip flops on, no helmet , and to top it off, talking on his cell phone while biking. Nevertheless he had an accident. I see everyday people(especially suburban mothers) on their cell phones driving. People walking their dogs, and pushing their infants around talking on a cell phone. I guess they don't know they are fodder for people who like to rob you. No dead air today, people always have to be either talking on a cell phone, or texting. Also texting while driving is very dangerous, why can't folks invest in head phone in their car. Or try not talking at all on your cell phone while driving. Maybe when you are walking, enjoy the birds chirping, or the silence for once in your lives? To me it's a novel concept to maybe leave room for just thinking or being creative. People don't have creativity anymore, every movie seems to be a remake or Hollywood just screws up the super  heros big time. And also you don't see any black superheros on the screen. I guess the folks who run Hollywood don't like black people. As for the cell phone craze it's dummying down America, seems like everybody has to talk 24 hours a day, instead of having some kind of time for silence. Silence is golden.     

Single Moms Need to Stop With The Father's Day Stuff

I noticed the past few years single moms want to claim Father's Day as a day for them also. They claim it in addition to Mother's Day. This is dead wrong on all scales. First of all a woman can never be a man so that's out. Second you already have Mother's Day so stay with that. And third there are plenty of Dads out there who support and love their children. These men are given the short end of the stick by the Mother.  Now I come from a single mom home and I love my mother and did what I could for her on Mother's Day. But even my mom would admit she could never be my Father. She did all she could for my brother and I and I would not be here if it wasn't for my mom. But as much as my Father was not in my life growing up I am still not here without him either. It's time for the women especially in the black community to stop dissing black men and celebrate the ones that are good men.  The media wants you to believe there are few of us out there, but there are more good black fathers than you might think. Father's Day is for men and it's just that. These single moms need to step back and let us men get honored for a change. If your child's father is around let your children honor them as Fathers. If they are not then chill and honor your own Fathers and let that child honor their grandfather. Until women get the equipment of men you can never be a Father. You can be a Mother and do your best to put your child around positive men. And yes there are a lot of positive influences out there that are men. And I for one will not let single mom's take away my day as a Dad. The day that both my kids were born are the 2 best days of my life. I love and honor my children and I am blessed to have both of them show love to me on Father's Day. Single moms get a grip and sit Father's Day out. This is my rant for today. God Bless everyone and Peace to the Crea tures. 

Rashard Mendenhall's Bin Laden Comments, Amen Brother!!

Rashard Mendenhall is a pro football running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers(my favorite team). He's from Skokie,Illinois the town next to where I live in Evanston. He comes to the same barber shop I do when he's here in the off season. I have talked to him and his brother Walter. They are good people and good Christians folks. He's embroiled in a controversy about comments he made on twitter about Bin Laden's death. Here are some of the comments:  Mendenhall implied a 9/11 conspiracy, writing: “I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style.” And:  “What kind of person celebrates death? It’s amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We’ve only heard one side…”  He also said and I am paraphrasing: "Why are we celebrating the death of Bin Laden, and how would God feel about that"? I say right on Rashard. People in America can't handle the truth or wrap themselves around the fact that our government orchestrated 9./11. But they can wrap themselves around the American flag. While you might not agree with what Rashard said, he has a right to say it. He's an American and last I checked Freedom of Speech is in that stupid document called "The Constitution". But I guess it doesn't apply to black men or athletes? They lied about weapons of mass destruction, they lied about Sadam being the cause of 9/11. What makes you think the government is not lying about Bin Laden being the cause of 9/11 now? And if they did(which I believe they did) why chase Bin Laden at all? Why waste soldiers lives, American tax payer money, and the sweat and tears of other Americans chasing this guy? And also celebrating Bin Laden's death means you celebrate war. We as Americans bomb other cities from and countries from afar, kill other cultures women and children. Then we have the nerve to call those folks terrorists? Also if you think our government would not kill our own then reference Kent State in 1970. This is where students were staging a peaceful protest and the National Guard opened fire unprovoked. Look it up. How quickly people forget? How quickly people forget? So if you think the United States government would not kill over 3000 people in 9/11 demolition then you are blind as Stevie Wonder. This is my rant for today. God Bless everyone and Peace to the creatures.      

Osama Bin Laden's Death(Again) And Bush's Bosom Buddy Is Gone

As most have heard Osama Bin Laden was killed yesterday if you believe the government and media. I will say this has given Barrack Obama another term in the Presidency. I believe Bin Laden has been dead for some time now. He was on dialysis for his kidneys in 2001, he received treatment in a Kuwait hospital in December 2001. The Muslim world is laughing at us right now for believing the media and government. Now his body is supposedly buried at sea, what will they think of next? As for folks that believe he was responsible for 9/11, try NO!!!!!!!!!! The 9/11 attacks were sponsored by the good ole United States Government and the Bilderberg Group. I guess now folks think terrorism has ended. I don't think so. Americans believe anything the government and media tell them. Bin Ladens family owns a huge building in Boston, also they made the flavoring that goes into Coca Cola products. They could have killed us at any time. And there are many cells operating on their own in terrorism. It's funny Americans believe what the media and government tell them but don't believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God.   Bin Laden family and the Bush family have been friends centuries, their common denominator? Oil and lots of it. It's all connected and why did Bush fly Bin Ladens family out of the country on September 12th, 2001? I will let you folks think about that one for awhile. Also Americans have been brainwashed to think a certain way since we started kindergarten. These things are: love your country, believe that the government has your best interest in heart, believe that the government is right about everything, believe everything the media puts out there, and believe this is a Nation Under God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a croc and they can sell me the Brooklyn Bridge. So no I don't believe Bin Laden just died, he's been dead for years. This is my rant for today. God Bless everyone. Take care.
