DeShawn Stevenson Fined $25,000


DeShawn Stevenson was fined $25,000 for making "menacing gestures" as seen above. Stevenson was simply responding to Jay-Z diss record. I wonder if commissioner David Stern will also fine Jay-Z, who is a part-owner of the New Jersey Nets. There is a response to Jay-Z's diss record by a rapper named Proverb; it is much more thought out and witty than Jay-Z's track.

The Wizards are down 3-1 and LeBron James already thinks this series is over. LeBron also stated in 3rd person fashion that "they want to hurt LeBron James".


Brendan Haywood has added responded adding to a series with an abundance of trash talking.
"Oooh, they're trying to hurt me! C'mon man, this is the playoffs! He wears 23 and he wants to be Michael Jordan. I respect that because he's a great player. But look what Mike went through. Mike got fouled way worse than this. You know what I'm saying? Nobody is trying to hurt him. Everybody is trying to play basketball, trying to win, trying to play tough. Leave it alone. OOOOH, THEY'RE TRYING TO HURT ME!"
Maybe now LeBron will respond by complaining less. However, there is a good chance that the King's whining will rise to epic proportions.
Given James's overconfidence and the Wizards' never give up demeanor throughout their injury riddled season, expect the Washington to put up a good fight in game 5 against the Cavs.

Jay Z's Diss Track on DeShawn Stevenson

Jay Z takes the side of LeBron James and makes diss record DeShawn Stevenson. The song was played Friday Love, a local DC night club. Witnesses as the night club also said Damon Jones, LeBron's teammate, made unsavory comments at the night club when the DJ handed him the microphone. Caron Butler left the club in disgust after the club had played the song over and over again.

LeBron James: the Crying King

LeBron James trying to flop for a foul


It's official. LeBron James has reached the status of a superstar at least in the eyes of the referees. He can take 3 steps and not be called for a traveling. When he stumbles into the lane and knocks over defenders, he gets rewarded to go the free throw line. If a defender gets physical, he can dish out an elbow and not get called for an offensive foul. What the NBA wants people to learn is that if you are popular, you can get what you want.

It gets even harder to root for somebody who exaggerates contacts. For someone who is built like an all pro linebacker at 260 pounds of muscle, he cries like a kicker. No matter how insignificant the contact is, expect James to complain. He will often grab his mouth or flop to to the floor like a child in a tantrum in order to get what he wants. James often yells "Heeeeey!" to the officials and the refs call a late foul on the defender to appease the King. He has established himself as one of the biggest whiners in the league.
