Note to world: Lebron is better than Kobe


Lebron leads Kobe career wise in points, rebounds, assists, field goal percentage, free throw attempts, steals, blocks, and PER efficiency.

Kobe leads Lebron in free throw percentage, championships, rape allegations

Give Lebron 20 years in the NBA and he will have every record that ever existed

JR Smith Drains 10 3-Pointers In One Game



The 3-point record has always been fascinating to me dating back to my early youth. I vividly recall Dennis Scott draining 11 3-pointers to back in 1996 to set the record at the time. It has since been raised to 12 by Kobe Bryant and former Bull Donyell Marshall. The all-time leader in 3-pointers made in a career is the great Reggie Milled, though Steve Kerr is the all time percentage leader at a shocking 45.4%. For all the great 3-point shooters, there exist many more horrible ones. The leader in the shoot a lot, make a little club is Antoine Walker who once went 0-11 from behind the arc in a game back in 2003. Oh, and he gambled away his 100 million career earnings and is currently millions in debt to a casino. Oh, well

Kobe Bryant on was on the premiere of 'Lopez Tonight'



Last night was the premiere of 'Lopez Tonight' on TBS. I don’t see Kobe Bryant doing many interviews so I found this surprising. He joined Eva Longoria Parker and Ellen DeGeneres as guests on the show.

Ron Artest is a psychopath

Watching the Rockets in these playoffs, I have been very impressed with the play of Ron Artest. He is the shut down defender that he established way back in the day when he was a Bull. He plays physically, with enough fitness to score 25 points on any given night. It appeared as though he was turning his image around and finally growing up. That is until 10 minutes ago when he up and snapped into the old Ron Artest. After going for the offensive rebound against Kobe Bryant, he was called for the loose ball foul. To my eye, it initially looked like it was a foul on Kobe, but everyone knows that the superstars get all the calls in the NBA. On the replay, it actually showed Kobe giving Artest a half elbow to the throat. Artest immediately went to the ref to plead his case, but refs in the NBA are as arrogant as any other sport. Artest immediately went after Kobe, got in his face, and looked like he wanted to go hard. As artest got that psychotic look in his eye, he was dragged away by the refs and teammates, at which point he gave one of the biggest taboo signals possible. The throat slash.

This is one of most heinous gestures in sports. It used to be more accepted as athletes showing a killer instinct, but in the last decade, it has become an unacceptable signal showing the ultimate disrespect to your opponent. Not to mention an intent to kill when your dealing with people like Ron Artest. Theh throat slash has been heavily penalized in football, and i'm sure Artest will also receive a hefty penalty if he did indeed gesture the slash toward Kobe. It may even result in a suspension. Stranger things have happened.

Random Thoughts

1) Did anyone see the play in the Superbowl where Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison was punching some Cardinal player after a tackle. I mean these weren't whimpy punches but these were fucking hard punches while this Cardinal player was on the ground. Now Wes Welker gets fined $15,000 for making a snow angel after one of his touchdowns and James Harrison is going to get off scott free? What The Hell!? And BTW, the refs didn't even call a penalty on the play if I'm not mistaken.
2) Speaking off touchdown celebrations, after Santonio Holmes' great touchdown catch to essentially end the game, he did a touchdown celebration mimicking LeBron James' warm up celebration pretending the football was talcum powder. This is a flat out violation of the rules. It clearly says you can not use the football as a prop during touchdown celebrations and is a 15 yard penalty for the Cardinals. Now I'm not sure this would have affected the outcome, but at the time you never know. It was not out of the realm of possibility that the Cardinals still could have scored a TD and that 15 yard penalty is a call you have to make with that little time left on the clock.
3) Can we all take a minute in silence to realize how awesome Tennessee Lady Vols basketball coach Pat Summit is? I realize that, yes, it is lady sports, but she's going to get her 1000th win this season. No other coach in the history of college basketball has ever even come close to this mark. Plus she has 8 national championships, EIGHT!? She is just fucking awesome.
4) ESPN, right after the Super Bowl, had a list of top ten plays in Super Bowl history. 10 was Larry Fitzgerald's first TD catch (or maybe second, but who really cares), 3 was James Harrison's 100 pick six, and 1 was Santonio Holmes' TD. Really guys!? OK, I can see the last two being on the list but putting Holmes catch above David Tyree's on helmet catch last year. Don't be fags.
5) This was a question asked on SportsCenter today. "Did Kobe score 61 at Madison Square Garden knowing that LeBron was going to be there two days later?" Don't be fucking retarded SportsCenter, Kobe scored 61 points because he's just a fucking awesome basketball player, he was having an on night, and the Knicks suck. What arena he was at and who playing at that arena soon had nothing to do with his decision numb nuts.
6) I hate John Madden.
7) I like Illinois' basketball team this year.
8) Michael Phelps is 23 fucking years old. God forbid he enjoys his youth and drinks and smokes a little pot. Although it is kind of sketchy that he's in some random frat house in South Carolina...
9) You guys need to lay low a little bit for posting.
10) I did not realize this but in 16 seasons, Manny Rameriz has an OPS of over 1.000. He's like 8th all time in OPS. Fuck Manny is/was fucking awesome. Also, Todd Helton has a career OPS over 1.000 but he plays in Colorado so that doesn't count.
11) I'm in a class where they also use blogger (this site). This site is used for us to talk about current events and every person will have to write and present one speech based on current events. If I had joined this class blog, then Sexy Rexy would have just recently posted about the Roland Burris appointment.
