JJFP "The Girlie Had A Mustache"

Grizzlies, Iverson part ways after only 3 games 2 hours, 7 minutes ago * Buzz up! * Print MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)—The Allen Iverson(notes) experiment with the Memphis Grizzlies is over. Memphis announced Monday that the team has ended its one-year contract with the 10-time All-Star and former league MVP in what it called a mutual agreement. Iverson began an indefinite leave of absence on Nov. 7 to deal with a personal issue after playing only three games with the Grizzlies, all in California. “Because of personal matters that forced him to leave the team on November 7, Allen will step away from the game at this time, allowing him to focus on those matters,” general manager Chris Wallace said in a statement. “As a result, we will be ending our contractual agreement with Allen, which will allow both parties to move forward. We wish Allen the best.” Related Coverage * Play Fantasy Basketball '09 FILE - In this Nov. 6, 2009, file photo, Memphis Grizzlies' Allen Iverson(notes) brings the ball upcourt against the Los Angeles Lakers during an NBA basketball game in Los Angeles.

FILE - In this Nov. 6, 2009, f… AP - Nov 16, 5:46 pm EST * NBA Gallery The Grizzlies will waive Iverson but the team had not done that as of Monday night. Iverson’s agent, Leon Rose, did not immediately return a message left by The Associated Press on his cell phone. Iverson, who announced he was headed to Memphis on his Twitter account, hasn’t posted any updates there since Nov. 2 when he played his first game with the Grizzlies. Memphis owner Michael Heisley told the AP last week he would be happy to trade Iverson to another team if a better deal came along. Few NBA teams had shown interest in the 34-year-old guard before Memphis signed him to a one-year, incentive-laden contract on Sept. 10. Memphis fans greeted the biggest star ever to play for the Grizzlies with a big crowd for his introductory news conference and eagerly bought up his No. 3 jersey, though he wound up never playing a game on the team’s home court. Iverson didn’t help himself much during his short stint with his fourth NBA team. He missed the preseason with a partially torn left hamstring and didn’t debut with the Grizzlies until Nov. 2 at Sacramento. Immediately, Iverson began talking about his distaste for coming off the bench and being on a rebuilding team filled with youth from Rudy Gay(notes) and O.J. Mayo(notes) to recent draft picks Hasheem Thabeet(notes) and DeMarre Carroll(notes). The four-time NBA scoring champ became the 16th player in league history to score 24,000 points in his career in his second game against Golden State. He played against the Lakers in Los Angeles, where he also met with Heisley before being given permission to take an indefinite leave. But the Grizzlies got tired of waiting for Iverson to decide what to do next. They signed point guard Jamaal Tinsley(notes) on Saturday for some much-needed help with the Grizzlies struggling at 2-8 this season.

My current favorite TV shows are probably SpongeBob Squarepants, The Simpsons, Dancing With The Stars, and Brothers, other than that I watch a lot of sports, some movies, and I like to watch religious programs like AJ does(In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley, Joel Osteen, and Changing your world with Creflo Dollar are my favorites)

Congrats potna!

LeBron wants to switch numbers as Jordan tribute Nov 13, 2:33 pm EST CLEVELAND (AP)—LeBron James(notes) wants NBA players to give up their No. 23s to honor Michael Jordan. The Cavaliers superstar, who has worn 23 since he was a high school sophomore, believes players should pay tribute to Jordan for the Hall of Famer’s impact on the game. FILE - IN this Nov. 18, 2008, file photo, Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James(notes) throws chalk dust into the air before playing in an NBA basketball game against the New Jersey Nets in East Rutherford, N.J. James wants NBA players to give up their No. 23s to honor of Michael Jordan. The Cavaliers superstar, who has worn 23 since he was a high school sophomore, says players should pay tribute to Jordan for the Hall of Famer's long-lasting impact on the game. FILE - IN this Nov. 18, 2008, … AP - Nov 13, 12:47 pm EST * NBA Gallery “I just think what Michael Jordan has done for the game has to be recognized in some way—soon,” James said. “There would be no LeBron James, no Kobe Bryant(notes), no Dwyane Wade(notes), you name all the best players in the league right now and the last 10 years, there would be none of us without Michael Jordan.” James made the comments following the Cavs’ win in Miami on Thursday night. The news was first reported by The Plain Dealer. James said he has been considering the change for some time. He’s willing to switch to No. 6—his U.S. Olympic team number—and wants to start a petition to get every player in the league wearing 23 to give up the number. “It’s time,” James said. “He’s the best basketball player we’ve ever seen. Mike does it on the court and off the court. If you see 23, you think about Michael Jordan. You see guys flying through the air, you think about Michael Jordan. You see game-winning shots, you think about Michael Jordan. You see fly kicks, you think about Michael Jordan. He did so much, it has to be recognized, and not just by putting him in the Hall of Fame.” Jordan sat courtside on Thursday when James scored 34 points to lead the Cavs to their sixth win in seven games. “He can’t get the logo, and if he can’t, something has to be done,” James said, referring to the NBA logo that’s modeled on a silhouette of Jerry West. “I feel like no NBA player should wear 23. Nobody. If I’m not going to wear No. 23, then nobody else should be able to wear it.” James must formally notify the NBA by early March if he plans to change numbers. He has not done so yet. Players generally must wear a number five years before they can apply to switch. The reigning MVP frequently wears No. 6 as a practice jersey with the Cavaliers. He wears that number because his second-favorite player is Julius “Dr. J” Erving and it holds other special meaning. “I wore 32 back in high school because Dr. J wore it at first,” he said. “My first child was born on Oct. 6, my second child was born in June. If I’m not going to wear 23, I’m going to wear 6.”

Yeah why are JJFP too old to make music and touring when we have the Rolling Stones still touring and making music right now? As long as they're both living there's still a chance.... Honestly with the deaths in recent years to the great artists like James Brown and Michael Jackson I hope it becomes a wakeup call for Will that he better make some music while he still has the chance...

James Brown "Turn It Loose"

Any update? Are we gonna draft soon?

Rakim sounds like he's paid in full again

It was interesting how much doubt there was about how Will could come back with a hit album after being away all those years filming before "Big Willie Style" dropped and it turned out to be one of the most popular albums ever, great find Tim

Nice interview there, Will hasn't been making much movies lately though so I think there's more hope for a JJFP reunion to happen soon enough

The way I see it, rappers like Ja Rule and Nelly ain't the greatest rappers ever but you gotta admit that they've made a mark in the game and put out better music than a lot of today's radio rappers, btw nice read there, I'll definately give "The Mirror" a listen

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Former-Celtics-star-Antoine-Walker-is-broke-and-;_ylt=Ami2gW_0aNVGtpZSbTCSf_68vLYF?urn=nba,198509 Former Celtics star Antoine Walker is broke and in debt By J.E. Skeets In 12 years, Antoine Walker(notes) made more than $110 million playing professional basketball moderately well. Take away taxes, throw in some adidas endorsement money and a "NBA Live 99" cover, and he's left with, what, $60-to-65 million? Whatever the details, it was a big chunk of change, which, amazingly, wasn't enough. That's right, during the last several months, the once multi-millionaire athlete has been pursued by multiple financial institutions for unpaid debts. In fact, according to The Boston Globe, "Employee No. 8" owes more than $4 million to his creditors and is facing felony check fraud charges in Las Vegas. All of this at the age of 33. Wild. Now I know what you're thinking: How in the world does somebody — not named Montgomery Brewster — even begin to blow through that amount of money? The answer: fairly easily. "[Walker] liked to move in an outsized entourage; his mother estimates that, during his playing days, he was supporting 70 friends and family members in one way or another. And speaking of his mother, he built her a mansion in the Chicago suburbs, complete with an indoor pool, 10 bathrooms, and a full-size basketball court. [...] Living at the Bishops Forest condominium complex in Waltham during the Celtics season, Walker turned the pavement surrounding his home into a virtual luxury car lot — two Bentleys, two Mercedes, a Range Rover, a Cadillac Escalade, a bright red Hummer. Often, the vehicles were tricked out with custom paint jobs, rims, and sound systems at considerable added expense. He also collected top-line watches — Rolexes and diamond-encrusted Cartiers." Condos, luxury cars, watches ... I guess that'll eventually force you into bankruptcy. Especially when you're not investing any money or collecting $200 with every fifth or sixth roll of the die. But Walker's lavish lifestyle wasn't all "me-me-me." He was also a generous friend and teammate who had custom suits made for coaches, routinely picked up giant team dinner tabs and, when there were funds to spare, gave to underprivileged youngsters. He was basically spending money like it was going out of style. And it did. I guess Biggie was right after all: mo' money, mo' problems.

I just sent the message to ya Max, those NBA 2K games always seem to deliver, getting better each year, can't wait to get that NBA 2K10 for my PS2, gonna put that on my wish list
