Kendrick Perkins: Brings The Fury Off The Court


The Oklahoma City Thunder baller was busted early in the a.m. of today in Texas for what else... being drunk and disorderly. We are not surprised about the disorderly part. I mean, have you ever seen this guy smile more than once? According to, Beaumont Police Sergeant Mark Levy, "He got drunk and wanted to fight everybody," as reported by Fox Sports. Kendrick was taken into custody and stayed less than 5 minutes after paying $300 bond.

Perkins was in Beaumont, Texas (his hometown) for a charity basketball game.

Curious, if this has anything to do with getting traded from the Boston Celtics to the Oklahoma City Thunder...

According to The Detroit News, this 38 year old former NBA player now ESPN basketball analyst just got sentenced to 93 days, but has to serve the first 20 in the slammer for a DUI charge that happened March 11th in Michigan. The rest of the sentence can be hashed out by doing community service and attending an alcohol awareness class. He is expected to start serving his sentence by August 2nd. Hope you come out smelling like a rose.

Chris Bosh Weds

NBA baller Chris Bosh, who plays for the Miami Heat, married his girlfriend, Adrienne Williams, this past weekend in Miami.

Those that don't follow basketball might remember this particular player. At the beginning of the season, he along with his teammates Dwayne Wade and LeBron James, had a big over the top ceremony where they came out on stage to music and lights hyping up the city of Miami and basketball fanatics by saying they were going to win the championship, but ended up losing to the Dallas Mavericks.

Well, at least he ended up with a ring after all.

TMZ was the first to report this story.

Kobe Sued By A Woman...Again

According to NBC Sports, Kobe Bryant is being sued by some chick from the midwest, Ohio to be exact, because he reneged on a promise to marry her. This silly goose, Selina Miller, filed this lawsuit on June 24th in Orange County. Miller claims Kobe signed some papers to confirm this agreement and she also said he failed to buy her a ring. According to her, Bryant's handlers told him not to buy her one. So I guess the fact that he is married already to the mother of his children had no bearing...Selina has sued the Lakers star before in 2009. An Ohio judge kicked that defamation and invasion of privacy lawsuit to the curb as "not plausible and "frivolous," so her credibility is pretty much shot among other things.


Oh and just in case Selina stumbles across this blog, We thought we would post a picture of Kobe with his wife Vanessa. If you look just right, it looks like they're smiling at you. Ahhh wedded bliss...

Wonder how those who just got drafted are feeling...

LA Laker Ron Artest Is Going Through Some Changes

Okay ladies and gentlemen, let's take a look at what World Peace looks like:

As reported by TMZ, Ron Artest is in the process of legally changing his name to Metta World Peace. Metta means kindess, loving, yadda yadda yadda.

I will say this, when I think world peace, Ron Artest definitely comes to mind. Peace out.

Lamar Odom Trade, Hype or Not

What would he have done if traded to Minnesota or Philly? Do they have paparazzi? His career is just beginning... as a limelight lovah. The Khloe and Lamar reality show, Khloe and Lamar cologne and let's not forget, starring in commercials where his wife being present is not a requirement cause he's actually promoting what he does for a living. According to the LA Times, Odom said he would retire first if traded to Minnesota. I hear ya 6 Man. "Reality" is way more profound in SoCal than Minnesota and who in their right mind would want to leave reality? Way to stay grounded.

So as of now, this rumor looks like a bunch of hype and we're okay with that.
