Chicago Police Superintendent Firing Will Not Change Much!!!!!!!!!

Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy was fired today by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel. Folks called for his firing after the Laquan McDonald murder took folks over the edge about the Police Department. This will not change anything it will be status quo. Why? Because these things have been in place for decades in Chicago. Martin L King said of Chicago once paraphrasing: the segregation here in Chicago is more than anyplace in the South. I have lived in the Chicago Area for 20 years now, I have observed that he is right even now. There has been for a long time a systematic plan in place for white folks to leave the Suburbs and head back to the city of Chicago. The city has been hounding my Mother In Law( I'm divorced from her daughter but I still consider her that), to buy her properties on the West Side of Chicago. She keeps telling them she is not selling her properties. The plan is for black folks to kill each other in large numbers in the city. When the property values go down because of these killings in the city the white folks will come and scarf up the properties for little to nothing. Once this is done the city will fix up the neighborhoods, the schools(which is already being done, charter schools anyone?) and infrastructure. Once this is done black folks that want those properties will either be priced out, run out by threats,violence, or any other means necessary to keep us out. This is not saying we cannot afford the properties, a lot of us can but it won't matter by that time. The white flight is going reverse not from city to suburbs but suburbs to city. What happens to the so called black folks that lived in these communities you ask? Well they will be sent out to the suburbs (Section 8 amongst other things), cut off bus and train services so the working blacks that don't have cars can't get to work. The plan is these black folks will just kill each other out in the Suburbs. Anyone that lives in the Chicago Area knows this is happening already (look at Aurora and the gangs out there!!!!), you can also check out some of the South Suburbs and what is happening to the schools, Dolton,South Holland, Harvey to name a few. Hence the "gang problem" which is not just a black problem, whites are killing whites, Latinos are killing Latinos and so on will not go away anytime soon. Guns will be poured into the communities, more folks will get killed because some of us are not smart enough to see what is going on. The gun violence issues in Chicago and other big cities will not be fixed anytime soon, this is the plan of the White Establishment all along. So in conclusion if folks thing firing McCarthy will solve the problem have another thing coming. The problem is deeper and more systematic than one man with a badge. Try looking deeper into why these things are going on: one good thing is the protests but the only problem with that is nothing has ever been solved in this country without violence. Violence and empty pockets are the only thing the White Establishment will understand that will affect change. The Civil Rights Movement no attention was paid to it until the violence was broadcast on television. Open up your mind folks and let other things in besides what the slovenly slob media feeds you on television. This is my rant for today, God Bless and Peace to the Creatures.

Black Lives Matter Movement!!!!

Folks are talking about BlackLivesMatter movement, mostly negative stuff from outliers, blacks who are uninformed, whites who are uninformed. American History has dictated anything to try and empower black lives, or for us to make progress gets squashed down. It happens by jealous of a made up story(Black Wall Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 1921), fear(Civil Rights Movement and Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X), or just downright cowardly attacks and murders(Black Panther Movement and Assassination of Fred Hampton). Now BlackLivesMatter is getting attacked on social media because you see two Marchers in one rally out of thousands shouting for attacks on the police. There's a perception that the BlackLivesMatter movement does not care about black on black crime? That is not the case and is disingenuous to say or think that, the movement has their hands in a lot of things trying to better the lives of black people. Also this AllLivesMatter movement is totally racist because "all" lives are not getting shot down unarmed by the police. It frankly is insulting and pathetic that someone would come up with that to try and devalue the BlackLivesMatter movement. Richard Sherman yesterday made comments referring to AllLivesMatter, now he's an intelligent brotha who has come along way from the streets of Compton,California to be very successful for sure. I think though he has not read or investigated the movement enough and you can tell from his comments. So while I'm cool with him using his platform to speak up(lord knows more athletes should do so), I think he needs to have some discussion with the leaders of the BlackLivesMatter movement before assuming what they are or not doing. Also most folks seem to quickly forget history as this was done to devalue the Black Panther Party. The biggest threat the Black Panther Party posed was not the self defense and arming ourselves, it was the free lunch programs which gave Blacks Empowerment. See the real issue is the white establishment does not want us empowered in anyway. This means using our brains,getting us to see that killing each other does nothing for us, getting an education, knowing our TRUE history instead of the ones shoved down our throats in school which most of it is false, and many more things to keep us a permanent underclass. Black folks we need to stop crapping on things that we are trying to do empower ourselves, it does nothing but damage what we are trying to do. Now if there is a disagreement try and have dialogue with the leaders of the organization and bounce ideas off each other to STRENGTHEN BlackLivesMatter instead of getting on television and embarrassing yourself and the Black race by tearing each other down. This is called the Willie Lynch Syndrome and if you don't know what it is: look it up. We need to make ourselves more informed before opening our mouths and spouting off nonsense, use our brain not our emotions. Hence we will be more productive and Black folks can rise to where we are supposed to be in this society. Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud and this does not conversely mean we hate white people, it's about empowerment for ourselves as a people. That is my rant for today, God Bless and Peace to the Creatures.

Will Tyler Ulis Head To The NBA Next Season??????

Tyler Ulis is a 5'9" sophomore point guard for the Kentucky Wildcats. He played high school basketball at Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights, Illinois. This is being written because I believe if he has a good season in 2015-2016 he's gone to the NBA. Why do I say that? Here we go with the reason why I feel that way: He has NBA skills in shooting,passing, defense,leadership, and midrange game. What he was missing as far as not having an NBA skill is his weight and body type. When he came into college basketball he was 150 and a skinny 150. He could be pushed around and would have a hard time holding his spot on the floor because of lack of definition in his body. Well that is not the case now, he is noticeably stronger in the arms and in his legs. He should now not have any problems holding his spot on the floor, it will be harder to post him up. His liability is he will always be 5'9" so to me if he has a good season he will have nothing else to prove to the NBA Scouts. He's not going to get any taller so not much more upside to gain. Also no matter how long he stays in college he will not be any more than a second round pick because of his height. Whenever he leaves college he will still have to prove he can guard the bigger guys. I think at this point in time his body is ready to deal with NBA guards and I am confident he's going to have a big season in college basketball. I think he will end up the best point guard in college basketball which will mean not much left for him to do but go down. Also he's able to get into the lane at will right now and has that 1 year of college experience. Remember the NBA drafts on upside and not much more room to grow in upside for a 5'9" point guard. In conclusion I say Kentucky fans if Tyler Ulis has the season I think he will then this would be the perfect time for him to head to the NBA. I wouldn't want to lose him but that would be the right time for him to strike that match and light it. This is my rant for today God Bless and Peace to the Creatures.

Timothy's Rants: Will Kentucky FINALLY Get A Player From Huntington Prep(WV)???????

Timothy's Rants: Will Kentucky FINALLY Get A Player From Huntington Prep(WV)???????

Will Kentucky FINALLY Get A Player From Huntington Prep(WV)???????

It's just a tad frustrating when you think you are so close to something and it slips away. Afterwards you sit there and think: I didn't really have it in the first place. This is how I feel about Huntington Prep Basketball players coming to Kentucky. I thought for a log time we had Andrew Wiggins locked and delivered to Kentucky. Then one player would commit to Kentucky, then another, then another, then......well you get the picture. It made it to the point that there was too many chefs in the kitchen for Andrew Wiggins to come to Kentucky, he ultimately went to Kansas. Than his Canadian countryman Montague Gill-Caesar, another one I thought was locked and delivered to Kentucky. Then the weirdest thing happened? Montague Gill-Caesar RECLASSIFIES in August and signs with Missouri(he has since transferred). Now we have Miles Bridges (6'7" 220 pound forward), he can jump out of the gym, a decent outside shooter, can handle the ball and slash to the basket, very explosive athlete. He is considering about five schools but to me it's really down to Michigan State and Kentucky. If he goes to Michigan State he can play the 4(power forward) position and thrive as a college player, Sparty is selling him on being another Draymond Green, I for one think that small ball stuff is a fad in basketball and will go away quickly. Kentucky can sell him on playing the 3(small forward) position and maybe some 2(shooting guard). He can be an interchangeable athlete in Kentucky's system. Now to me the difference is Tom Izzo does not get one and dones, he tried to get Jabari Parker but as you know was not successful. Michigan State just does not have players that get to the NBA quick, it takes them awhile and there is nothing wrong with that. The thing is Miles Bridges has the ability to be a one and done player, and to me there is not better system in college basketball than Kentucky for this kind of thing(proof is in the pudding I don't have to name the countless players that have been successful). So in conclusion if he wants to get the NBA quickly then he needs to go to Kentucky, if he wants to be patient with it and take his time go to Michigan State(though Kentucky could do the same for him). I have a feeling we FINALLY get a kid from Huntington Prep. Makes sense for Kentucky since Huntington Prep is so close to the campus(though we have not made a dent yet). As it is I think we will know by the early signing period if this jinx will be lifted with the Huntington Prep to Lexington pipeline. There you have it, take care folks. God Bless and Peace to the Creatures.

Nike Global Challenge Day 2

Day 2 was very good as the USA teams played against each other and was a good gauge of where the Kentucky targets are at in their development. Here we go: MILES BRIDGES(6'7" HUNTINGTON PREP,WV/FLINT,MI)- He took awhile to get going, so did his team as they fell behind 20-0 in 1st quarter but he scored a layup that got him going. He had some nice dunks, slashing to the basket, did hit a three pointer in the one game he played on the day. He had 19 points and 12 rebounds and scored in a variety of ways, even a couple of strong post up baskets. As I have said he does need to improve that three point jump shot and not be so loose with the ball. That being said I hope he comes to Kentucky as Coach Cal will help with his weaknesses. GARY TRENT JR(APPLE VALLEY,MN)- He received an offer from Kentucky today, as for the game he showed more dribbling and slashing ability in this particular game while also hitting three 3 point shots. He was aggressive on both ends maybe too aggressive on defense(he fouled out), but a lot more aggressive with his total all around game. MALIK MONK(6'4" BENTONVILLE,ARK)- He was impressive in both of his games today, hitting three pointers, dropping dimes like a point guard, and slashing to the basket. He totally dominated parts of the second game he played today. He is definitely the best player of all the players here and an elite prospect. It will be either Kentucky or Arkansas and whomever gets him will be getting a great basketball player and great athlete. DJ HARVEY(6"6" DEMATHA CATHOLIC, BOWIE,MD)- He played like the wing player that he is hit two 3 pointers and scored a couple of buckets inside, needs to get stronger and more aggressive with his offense. Also needs to score more slashing to the basket and play more aggressive in general. NICK RICHARDS(6'11" THE PATRICK SCHOOL,NJ)-Showed some good post moves and hit the boards very well. He did what a big man is supposed to do in the post, ran the floor very well. Needs to defend the post better. JARED VANDERBILT (6'8"VICTORY PREP, HOUSTON,TX)- Same as yesterday strictly a slasher, doesn't shoot anything outside of 15 feet, also seems like he does not want to shoot a three point shot. He has to get stronger if he wants to constantly slash to the basket. He's definitely a wing player who hits the boards well. TROY BROWN JR 6'6" LAS VEGAS, NV)- A little more aggressive today with his offense but still needs to step it up on both ends of the floor. It's almost like you don't know he's out there at times. I can see the potential but he needs to be more aggressive on the court period. THAT'S IT FOLKS IT'S BEEN SOME GOOD BASKETBALL WATCH THE TITLE GAME ON www.nikeeyb.com. GOD BLESS AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!!!  

Nike Global Challenge Day 1

I was at the Nike Global Challenge yesterday to look at Kentucky targets, and I saw more than a few of them. These are Class of 2016 players unless otherwise identified. Here's my report on yesterday's play for Kentucky targets: UDOKA AZIBUIKE (6'10" POTTERS CHRISTIAN, JACKSONVILLE, FL)- He was on Pan Africa's roster but was a no show. MILES BRIDGES(6'7" HUNTINGTON PREP, W VA/FLINT,MICHIGAN)-Kenny Payne was in the house as was Michigan State with Tom Izzo and 2 other assistants watching him. HE did a little bit of everything yesterday, looked for teammates, slashed to the basket, rebounded, and had a lot of dunks(a windmill reverse dunk off a alley pop the most impressive). He was 0 for 4 from three point range in the 2 games yesterday. Also has to work on his free throw shooting(1 for 6 in 2 games). Smooth lefty stroke as he hit shots from all other ranges on the floor. Needs to work on his decision making. GARY TRENT JR(6'5" APPLE VALLEY,MN)- Class of 2017 player.Typical two guard who is a long range sniper(three 3 pointers in 1st game), good athlete. He needs to work on his ball handling and passing, didn't do much in the 2nd game which was a blowout. MALIK MONK(6'4" BENTONVILLE,ARK)- Played one game yesterday, very explosive(4 dunks one from the dotted line tomahawk dunk), can shoot the ball with range but is loose with the ball at times which leads to turnovers. He is also a very good passer and convinced me yesterday he can play a lot of point as well as his customary two guard position. Very impressed. DJ HARVEY (6'6" DEMATHA CATHOLIC/ BOWIE,MD)- Good athletic two guard who can shoot from there point range and in, good passer, rebounds well for his position and fundamentally sound. Talked to him and his family yesterday and seem like good people. He would be a good representative of Kentucky or any school he goes to. NICK RICHARDS (6'11 THE PATRICK SCHOOL, NJ)- Class of 2017 player is a post player has some good turn and shoot post moves inside, he will have to get better with his fundamentals in the low post but good athlete. JARED VANDERBILT(6'8" VICTORY PREP, HOUSTON,TX)- Class of 2017 player typical small forward skills, lefty shooter that slashes to the basket, no shots outside of 15 feet yesterday, crashes the boards, didn't show breakdown skills off the dribble for more than 2 dribbles. TROY BROWN JR(6'6" LAS VEGAS,NV)- Class of 2017 he did not impress me yesterday especially from the National hype he has been receiving. Played a lot off the ball and was not aggressive offensively. Long athlete and used his length on defense but did not do much on the offensive end. MARQUES BOLDEN(6'10" DESOTO,TX)- He didn't do much at all yesterday, I barely noticed him or his game at all. I will watch today to see if he's more aggressive out on the floor. THAT'S IT FOLKS...I WILL BE OUT THERE FOR DAY 2 TO SEE IF I SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT. GOD BLESS AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!!

Charleston SC Church Shooting!!!!!

Hello folks I am not happy right now about 9 lives needlessly snuffed out by a white racist creep just because they were black. I am also hearing from folks that we need to love in these times of tragedy but when is the love going to show? White folks though most are disturbed by this tragedy I say it is not enough. When is it going to stop? Unarmed Black men being shot by the police? White folks gunning down black folks just because of the color of our skin? Black folks killing other black folks? My wife once told me these things are a spiritual attack on black folks and I'm starting to believe her? My thing is every time these things happen folks want to stop the violence and show love. Thing is if love was being shown these shootings would not be happening period. How can you ask someone to show love when folks are being killed needlessly by hate? This is the first thing folks want to do is calm us down, there are times when calm is not needed. Not saying violence is the ultimate answer but seems like the powers that be only understand violence. Peaceful marches are not working, the powers that be do not listen that because hate is being taught. I said earlier the blame falls on white folks in general. Of course not all because I know plenty of white folks that are good people(my wife, my Aunt Melanie for two). I am talking about is the hate taught from the time folks are babies against people who are different than they are. Hate against color of skin, special needs children, folks who might not be as smart as someone else, someone that looks different than the normal, these kind of things fit. People are scared of things that are different from them and if that's the case that makes for a dull world. This white racist creep walked into a church and systematically murdered 9 people. Why? Because of the color of their skin and the creep couldn't take the fact he couldn't survive without other folks different from him in the world. The problem is there are more like him walking around out there and I'm afraid we are going to see more and more outrageous things like this happening in America. Why? The laws do not adequately punish criminals like they should be punished so there's no deterrent from folks doing things like this. I hope folks are learning this is not a "postracial" society and racism is just as bad as it was during slavery and the reconstruction. The thing is racism is just different now put on a different prism than those times. This creep has the mentality of the Mob that destroyed Black Wall Street in Tulsa,Ok in 1921. Have things really changed in the abstract from when that jealous white Mob decided to attack those folks? Sometimes anger over these things needs to simmer on the surface instead of calm, maybe this will change these rotten attitudes of folks who do this kind of cowardly killing. This problem has to be fixed by white folks because they have the economic power in this country. Black folks we can do our part but nothing will get done unfortunately until white folks change their attitudes and the way they raise their children. Also I am not convinced justice will be served in this case, remember this is SOUTH CAROLINA folks where the Rebel flag still flies at the State Capitol. This is my rant today, God Bless and Peace to the Creatures(hopefully).

Kentucky Wildcats Basketball 2015-2016

People have panicked because we did not sign any McDonald's All-Americans in the Spring Signing period. Thing is we still have a team that can contend for the National Title. Here's my breakdown of the roster: STARTERS- TYLER ULIS (5'9" SOPHOMORE POINT GUARD)-He will run the show and will be one of the best point guards in the country. He can shoot from three, penetrate and create shots for others, also is a pest defensively. He also has a lot of toughness to him. If he gains ten pounds of muscle look for this to be his last year of college basketball as the NBA Scouts already feel he is a draftable player. ISAIAH BRISCOE(6'3"FRESHMAN SHOOTING GUARD)-He is more of a combo guard for Kentucky this season, he's a serviceable shooter and can pass the ball very well. He will have a big learning curve defensively and has a lot of NY/NJ Swag to his game. Will bring toughness to the roster. JAMAL MURRAY(6'5" FRESHMAN SWINGMAN)- He is a gifted scorer and ball handler, can play on the ball or off the ball. Explosive scorer and will hit the boards, very versatile and will make Kentucky the Nation's finest backcourt. ALEX POYTHRESS(6'8" JUNIOR(RS) SMALL FORWARD)-This is assuming he fully recovers from his ACL injury, his explosiveness and rebounding prowess will help, he will have to improve his three point shooting to keep defenses honest. He helps defensively at the small forward position.  SKAL LABISSIERE(7'0" FRESHMAN CENTER)-BBN he will be eligible no worries, very skilled post up player, can shoot it out to three point range and is very good shot blocker on the interior. He will need to get stronger in order to stay out of foul trouble. He will be needed on the floor for at least 30 minutes. BENCH- MARCUS LEE(6'9" JUNIOR POWER FORWARD)-He will have to step up big time with major minutes and I think he can do it, has to show more offensively than just putback dunks. He will block shots in the paint and will have to be stronger to guard power forwards in the post. DOMINIQUE HAWKINS(6'0" JUNIOR GUARD)-He can play both guard positions and has improved his outside shooting. Very good defender and plays hard at all times on the floor. He can also run the team from the point guard position, will have some time on the wing as a shooter. ISAAC HUMPHRIES(7'0"FRESHMAN CENTER)-A banger on the interior who will give us muscle, he does have a good 15-18 foot jump, he will hit the glass. He has a high skill level for a Big because of his age he will be at Kentucky for at least 2 years. DEREK WILLIS(6'9" JUNIOR FORWARD)-Can play both forward positions, I have been very high on his skill level, he's going to have to show it this year and will have plenty of opportunities. Can shoot the three very well and drive it to the basket. More athletic than people might think this is his opportunity to take a major step up in his game. Needs to work on his defense, if he does that could start at the small forward position.  CHARLES MATTHEWS(6'6" FRESHMAN GUARD/FORWARD)-Very athletic and loves to slash to the basket. He will have to stay healthy was injured a lot in high school. He has a decent midrange outside shot, has to get more consistent from three point range. Very good defender and versatile can guard three positions on the floor with no problem. He has the opportunity for major minutes. MYCHAL MULDER(6'4" JUNIOR GUARD)-Very athletic guard, junior college transfer who shot 46% from college three point line. He will have plenty of opportunities to show his shooting prowess. He has the athleticism to be a very good defensive guard, will help us out a lot. EJ FLOREAL(6'4" JUNIOR GUARD)-Former walk-on is very athletic, can jump out of the gym, has not played a lot in the 1st 2 years so not sure if he has an outside shot or not? He seems to be a good defender and could find a spot in the rotation. THERE YOU HAVE IT NEXT YEARS ROSTER, I THINK TO BALANCE OUT THE LINEUPS WILLIS MAY START AND EITHER POYTHRESS OR LEE WILL COME OFF THE BENCH. THIS IS BACK TO COACH CAL'S USUAL LINEUPS A SEVEN TO EIGHT MAN ROTATION. I THINK THIS TEAM COULD DO SOME MAJOR DAMAGE NEXT SEASON!!!!!! GOD BLESS AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!!!!!

Alonzo Verge Jr Is A Monster Talent!!!!!!!!

Hi, it's been around since I posted but here we go: I went out on Tuesday night to Willowbrook High School to check out 6'2" sophomore Class of 2017 guard Alonzo Verge Jr. They played Proviso East for the West Suburban Gold title. I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Well to say I was impressed is an understatement, the moxie of this kid is off the charts. Now I will say he does shoot a lot and does shoot some bad shots, but he has to shoot for his team to win. Willowbrook has never been any kind of basketball program to speak of: but I will say he does have some good shooters around him. I don't normally do comparisons of players because to me it shows a lack of knowledge of the game of basketball. I will digress this time and say he reminds me of Ryan Boatright in high school at East Aurora. Alonzo is quick, gets in passing lanes for steals, attacks the basket, and can hit shots at all three levels. Granted this is the only time I have seen him play but to me he is in the Top 3 in the Class of 2017 in the State of Illinois no doubt, along with Jeremiah Tillmon of East St Louis and Nojel Eastern of Evanston. This kid is an explosive scorer, also hits shots in clutch situations for his team. Willowbrook has won 20 games for the 1st time since 1972 which is 43 years ago. I am not sure how this team will do in the State Playoffs but they play an exciting brand of basketball for sure. Alonzo is skinny and will have to gain some muscle but he's a sophomore in high school so that will come. Also to me he is having fun out there which is great to see, basically basketball should be a fun sport to play. The only other thing is I think he has to get his release point on his shot just a little higher, also he has to work on getting more space to get his shot off from three point range. I will have to see him more over the next three years to see his progress and do a more comprehensive breakdown. http://libreprensa.com/k/alonzo-verge-jr/5323304#s/6392219 Well that's it on this one, GOD BLESS EVERYONE AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
