NBA JAM SESSION
                                                                                      Hottest coach in the NBA has to be OKC Thunder Scott Brooks as he leads his team to the top of the Western Conference.
Friends say: "Wait until the Western Finals."
I say: "Put your money where your mouth is."
For one Serge Ibaka looks like Super Big Man, Kevin Durant looks focused, Russell Westbrook looks for shots, and I'm looking for a sucker.

Trust me, it works.

Not for nothing, speaking of work...It looks like Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers and Derek Rose of the Chicago Bulls will be collecting unemployment checks for a few months after re-injuring themselves.
By the way, that's two of the top selling jerseys in the NBA.

Speaking of Jersey, I really miss Tony Soprano.
That's me imitating old school Nets fans after they moved a mediocre team to Brooklyn. 

Meanwhile down in South Beach...
 Lebron James and Dwayne Wade move in unison to their own tune although I'm convinced Chris Bosh only sings backup.
 Hey, it worked for Robert Horry and Sir Paul McCartney.
And by the way, if Lamar Odom never makes another All Star Game, don't blame Khloe...blame Kevin Love and Blake Griffin.
Who's this Isaiah Thomas out in Sacremento reminding people of Zeke? I'm kidding, but this 2nd rounder has been remarkable.

 Too bad I can't say the same for NY Knicks head coach Mike Woodson who may get whacked by trigger happy owner James Dolan.
 Speaking of owners, look for Dallas Mavericks money making owner Mark Cuban to rekindle his attempts to place ads on players jerseys.

Your highness David Stern says "No go" at this time.
 Let it be known, declared and shouted across Texas: My sleeper team for 2014 playoffs is the Houston Rockets...
Look for them to take out the elderly San Antonio Spurs with the real action happening on the sidelines...
Imagine a coaching standoff between Gregg Popovich and Kevin McHale.
 Add a referee and its on par with a Heavyweight title fight.
Now that's entertainment.

'EAZ' ... The Grand River Hustler

Being from the Bronx has never been an automatic EZ PASS for any rapper. Just ask debut artist EAZ. "No way, not at all. I actually had to battle a few people just to make it out my hood." He says while completing the photo shoot for his upcoming Mix Tape entitled Grand River. After being privy to hanging out with a few Bronx rappers, I've come to some rather disturbing similarities amongst the chosen few. For one, most can recite rhymes from the legendary blastmaster  KRS ONE, they all speak highly of Big Pun and they usually have a friend who knows a friend who knows Fat Joe. "Its a jungle out there....." said the old school tune. Nowadays, the business of rap can be an obstacle course in itself. Let alone the street credibility and other secondary mishaps that can make or break a rapper. Ask Mysonne. Ask Chi Ali. The list goes on and on. But somewhere within walking distance of Cedar Park (birthplace of Hip Hop) lies a young animal destined to conquer t

GAME OF THE WEEK by Deigo Mack Our ‘Game of the Week’ brings us to a match up both teams had marked on their calendar. The third ranked Bathgate Educational Complex (6-0) meets sixth ranked Riverdale/Kingsbridge Academy (5-1), 4 pm Friday April 27 th at Seton Park Field located at 232 nd Street in Independence Avenue. This is a key game for both teams as each looks to establish themselves as a Bronx ‘AA’ division powerhouse. East meets West should be a tagline as the Riverdale/Kingsbridge Tigers look to stay atop the ‘AA’ WEST division and the Bathgate Bulldogs fight to conquer the ‘AA’ East. Bathgate head coach Steve Lomuscio said “We want to compete at a high level and we know Riverdale is a smart team and their tough to beat” he continued, “It always comes down to defense and good pitches but we’re really hungry and have some solid players.” He does have a solid third baseman in Sterling Rodriguez who is having a breakout year as a senior. On the other side, Rive

WEEKLY COLUMN  By Deigo Mack   “True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings.”  ―   William Shakespeare Last week in Oklahoma City, during an OKC Thunder NBA game, play-by-play announcer Brian Davis, said during a broadcast that OKC’s star player Russell Westbrook was "out of his cotton-picking mind" after he made his ninth assist halfway through the second quarter of the team's final regular-season game.  This slip of the tongue brought about a one game suspension for OKC’s experienced announcer Brian Davis.  What a shame? The offensive statement set off a chain of reactions.   First, Davis apologized publicly for his insensitive phrase. In a statement to ESPN, Davis apologized for using the phrase, which drew criticism for its racial undertones. "It is with great remorse and humility that I accept this suspension for the insensitive words I used during Wednesday's broadcast," Davis said. "While unintentiona
