LeBron Is Jay-Z, DeShawn Is Soulja Boy
Most of us got a good laugh out of DeShawn Stevenson 's comment the other day, where, after his team beat the Cavaliers, he was so proud of his effort that he felt the need to say that LeBron James is overrated . It seems that LeBron was equally amused by this, and went with a Hip-Hop analogy to explain why he wouldn't even bother to respond: "With DeShawn Stevenson it is kind of funny. ...

DeShawn Calls Out LeBron Again, and Again
D.C. Sports Bog — ... : Remember, after Stevenson called James "overrated" following a game between the teams last Thursday, James responded by saying he is above such mess because that would be like his hero, Jay-Z, lowering himself to respond to the rapper, Soulja Boy . So, in one neat quote, James dissed Stevenson and Soulja Boy. Well, Stevenson is embracing the Soulja Boy role. "I hope we play Cleveland," Stevenson said. "I'm going to get Soulja Boy courtside seats and have him wear a DeShawn Stevenson jersey. Maybe (James) can have Jay-Z there since LeBron's all on his (shorts) anyway." ...

Wiz and Cavs Wage Destiny's Child War
D.C. Sports Bog — Wiz and Cavs Wage Destiny's Child War As it has become increasingly clear that Wizards-Cavs III is ordained by fate and cannot be stopped by mere humans or Jose Calderon, the early chatter made this a hip-hop feud: LeBron playing Jay-Z to DeShawn's Soulja Boy . Which is a fine theme, and if it results in Soulja Boy and G-Wiz doing the Soulja Boy together, will have fulfilled its historical role. But the far greater theme is the full-scale Destiny's Child Civil War that might be waged should this matchup come to pass. ...
