Here's Jay Z's DeShawn Song Possibly the last DeShawn-LeBron non-rivalry post. Possibly. Anyhow, by popular demand, here's that Jay Z freestyle about DeShawn Stevenson that was played at Love on Friday night. Thanks to intern Boris and YouBeenBlinded for the link, which is now also all over YouTube . Language alert, I suppose. A rundown of the Game 4 verbiage: DeShawn Stevenson, on his pre-game iPod: "Lil Wayne. Not Jay Z." Jay Z: "That's my [homie] LeBron; so big we ain't gotta respond.

Published 4/29/2008 at Ball Don't Lie
We're only nine days in on 40, and already this year's NBA playoffs has seen its fair share of rough play. Josh Smith is punking Pierce, Carl Landry is losing teeth and D-West can't stop slapping around Dirk. It's like the 80's in long shorts out there. (Slight exaggeration.) But which has been the hardest playoff foul to-date? Cast your vote below. The current top five candidates: Jason Kidd flips Jannero Pargo, Game 4. Instead of trying to make the block, a lazy Jason Kidd grabs Pargo by the back of the neck and swings him to the court. Incredibly, Pargo wasn't injured on the fall, ...
