I was there and had a blast. From Colin Powell (got a pic with him) and David Stern to Soulja Boy and the quote LeBron's gave to me...it was a good night. Tony Reali of Pardon the Interruption loved the Kenny Smith clip.
Oh yeah, the Wizards won.

Nuggets of gold from around the interwebs.
Did you know that the Cavaliers/Wizards series is tied? No? That’s right, because it isn’t. The Cavaliers are still up 2-1, and if Washington wins on Sunday, they still have to win a game in Cleveland. But hey, whatever makes you feel better about yourself Washington fan.

Thanks to beRecruited.com for this fine You Tube discovery. TNT’s NBA in studio analysts may be the most fun analysts in sports. Check out this video of Marv Albert getting down to Soulja Boy. The memories of Marv’s scandal back in the 90s makes this video that much more troubling.

AwfulAnnouncing
Remember before when I said that the Soulja Boy had jumped the shark (yes I know JTS has JTS'd).....well I lied.... The TNT Graphics Department has completely lost it's collective mind after that showing. And yes, I laughed when the Q Loans Arena (worst. arena. name. ever.) played a snipet of SB after Deshawn missed a free throw. Per usual, Charles Barkley is right on. The Wizards are the ...

NBA Enjoys Opening Weekend Ratings Boost —
FanHouse
I hate talking about ratings when it comes to sports because I find them inherently meaningless. More sporting events are shown on cable than ever before, which means that ratings are almost always down when compared to previous years when they were shown on over-the-air network television. Plus, there's just more competition for our entertainment needs these days, such as TiVo and the ...
Soulja Boy Offended by LeBron's Comparison —
The Undrafted Free Agent
After LeBron James missed a game-winning 3-point shot against the Wizards, DeShawn Stevenson told reporters that James was overrated. James responded, saying, "With DeShawn Stevenson, it's kind of funny. It's almost like Jay-Z [responding to a negative comment] made by Soulja Boy. It doesn't make sense to respond." How did S oulja Boy feel about these comments? Soulja Boy said: "I looked and ...

Washington's Deshawn Stevenson called LeBulldoze James "overrated" after the Wizards beat the Cavs last month and LeBulldoze bricked a potential game winner. Deshawn had been trash talking all game, possibly resulting in Lebulldoze's poor performance. Lebulldoze used a hip hop analogy incorrectly to dis Deshawn's remarks. “With DeShawn Stevenson it is kind of funny. It’s almost like Jay-Z ...
