The Adventures of… PROPS! – Nike 3 on 3
Back in business…
The Greg Odens repped for *PROPAGANDA* this weekend at LA Live for the Nike 3 on 3 Tourney.
Ended up 2-2. Not sure how we ended up in the Elite bracket…
I probably hit the biggest shot of my career. Down one, time expiring, 3 Point and One to win the game and send us to the semis on Sunday…
Watch out next year if we get some practice in.

LOSERS:
Byron Scott:
This dude got some bad advice or is just plain stupid. He signs to Coach the Cavs without knowing James would be there AND if he waited one year the Lakers job would have been handed to him. He woke up in a nightmare.
Amare Stoudermire:
Sure he got a max deal but where’s his side kick? The Knicks gutted their team (Nat Robinson, last year’s #1 Jordan Hill, etc). for TWO freaking superstars Not ONE.

Sports Sound Off: World Cup – NightMare
A dream turned into a nightmare this past Saturday. The USA soccer team let a golden opportunity slip thru their fingers when Ghana defeated them 2-1. The cheers of U-S-A & the sneers of Ghana-orrea were shouted throughout the match. Went to Puma City in NYC for the event. It was located at the South Street Seaport in lower NYC.

Sports Sound Off: A Woman’s Perspective…
I’ve been completely consumed by ESPN/SportsCenter the past few weeks. There is just too much going on right now and lucky for us we should have an exciting summer:
NBA Finals coming down to game 7 and between the Lakers and Celtics (surprise!) I have not been a big fan of the NBA since the strike, when I was a Knicks fan (John Starks days;) This may be the first time I’ve watched the entire playoff series post-strike so I guess the NBA’s strategy to hand-pick the “classic” teams to boost ratings is working. Regardless of ratings, I still hold steady on my one and done playoffs/finals-there are too many games and the majority are completely bogus because there is always another. Butler didn’t have another game to compensate for that missed half-court shot. Hank Baskett didn’t have another game to try to catch that onside kick. I’m just saying…

Mr. Ron Attest better get his shit together quick. He could have signed with any team. He came to LA for this moment. Shaq fell on his face. C. Butler of Dallas failed to deliver. Now Ron is ready to be the next poster boy. Where’s Trevor Azia when you need him?

Sports Sound Off: NBA Finals – Let the Games Begin
David Stern lit up a fatty when Boston came out of the Eastern Conference. There are matchups…& then there are MATCHUPS: Red Sox vs. Yanks, Ali vs. Frazier, Borg vs. McEnroe (tennis you….) that transcend sports (OK a little dramatic but you get the point) & Lakers vs. Celtics is one of those marquee matchups. You wonder why Ron Attest took less money? You wonder why Boston picked up Rasheed Wallace & Marquis Daniels? It is because on this moment. It’s the RING.

The New Jersey nets got a new owner last week, Mikhail Prohorov aka Ivan Drako. Dude is drippin SWAG. He is the only man who is putting Hugh Hefner of Playboy fame to shame. Once the $$ starts flowing like Belvedere, there isn’t anything that is impossible. Nets will be in Newark NJ for a couple of years, than they plan to move to the BK.
How about a name change to BK Broilers?

Sports Sound Off: The King is Dead / Long Live the King
King James is clutching his MVP trophy with a thousand yard stare (Vietnam term) thinking Why? Why did we trade for Antwaan Jamison, a proven 20pt 9 rebound guy who got exposed Playoff style. Why did we get the Diesel when he was running on fumes? Shaq will play next year for 21million reasons but it’s sad to WITNESS (Lebron term) him at this stage of his Hall of Fame career. Why did Mike Brown have to be the Head coach? That’s not even an NBA Championship coach’s name. His name will tell you Cleveland had no chance of advancing.

Sports Sounds Off: The Rising Sun
The biggest story of the NBA playoffs has to be the play of the Los Suns of Phoenix. With all the B.S. going on with the state government, the NBA pulled a coup when they embraced diversity instead of running from it. Look for civil/social/political types to get on the Suns bandwagon to champion their cause.
Game 3 was magical for back-up guard Goran Drajic (if he signs w/ Orlando, it would be Drajic for the Magic, This guy was in the zone with 26 pts in the second half. He goes into give Nash a blow (no homo), when he catches fire. Phoenix was just trying to milk the clock, w/ both Stoudemire & Nash on the bench. Coach Gentry was smart enough to keep him in until the wheels fell off (unlike Jerry Sloan of Jazz Game One. His backup guard was killing the Lakers & what does Sloan do? Puts back the starters & LA never looked better. What’s the moral of the story? Leave the HOT player in). Guess what? The wheels never came off. A NBA playoff legend was born. Dude got a contract off that one performance.

Sports Sound Off: Mayweather vs. Mosley
Believe me, A lot of people are whispering in Sugar Shane’s ear. Win & you’re in the drivers seat, Beat this *** down. They’re giving him the Kool-Aid & he’s drinking. Clottely embarrassed himself & the sport for his lack of aggression verses Pacquiao. Sugar will come into this fight not looking for this payday, but for payday with Pacman too. Win this one & Bob Arum & DelaHoya (promoters) will gizz at ringside. No Mayweather negotiating headaches.

Sports Sound Off: Daddy’s Home – Tiger Woods vs. sinakilloptimist
Not that anyone care, but I’ve been away for awhile. I’ll like to publicly apologize to my family & friends who I’ve hurt. For this, I’m truly sorry. My 45 day Rehab. went well & I plan to return to my religious roots.
Tiger Woods returns to the golf this Thur. 4/8/10 at the Masters. Props has its’ very own on the ground reporter in Augusta & will be posting under the alias of Dumb Ass. He has already said that the grounds are absolutely perfect with no, & I mean no papers/garbage. Not even in the parking lots. We have all attended events (even the movies) where litter is a way of life. It’s nice to see that they have the animals in control.

Sports Sounds Off: Can I have Some Heart???
The Dallas Mavericks went to the Wizard of OZ & requested some Heart. (They were told the Tin Man got the last one).They beat down the Lakers last week. They played w/ high energy & great bench play. Jason Kidd actually hit some outside shots. I got all geeked up! I said “Boy the Mavs could do this”. Then I came to my senses.

Finally, the USA step up & grabbed some Gold in the 2010 Winter Olympics. Even more impressive was the Olympics defeating American Idol in the rating. Now that’s something.

Sports Sound Off: Super Bowl: Score Fest
It’s that time of year again when Football takes center stage. The Super Bowl will get the Grandpa’s, wannabe’s and never was’ to watch the New Orleans Saints vs. the Baltimore (opps) the Indianapolis Colts in a match up of the two top Conference teams (what’s a conference Mary Sue?).
N.O. will be “Who Dat” ing until kickoff. Where’s Lil Wayne when you need him? I saw him at the Grammy’s. I thought he was locked up. Home team in the Super Bowl; I’m rich; I’m in jail. Seriously, he must be pissed.

Sports Sound Off: WTF? – Mike & Mike
I love ESPN. When I die & go wherever I go, I hope there is an ESPN. I’m not just talking about TV, I’m speaking of ESPN radio, magazine & .COM. They got it covered.
This past Monday, on MLK day (1/17/10), on the morning radio show hosted by Mike Golic (former football player) & Mike Greenberg (self proclaimed metro-sexual), Mike G. says “celebrating on this Martin Luther COON day.” I heard about it the following day on the D.L. Hughley radio show. It was said fast but it was audible.

Sports Sound Off: Back in Business – Playoff Edition
Seeded teams in the NFL use to mean something. Back in the day (the 90’s) there was Gwen Stefani (No Doubt) or at least J-Z (Reasonable Doubt) that your seeded team would advance to the Super Bowl. The dynasty teams of the 90’s, the Cowboys, Green Bay, Giants & 49ers would never lose opening round match ups. Now anybody’s got a chance.

The death of Chris Henry was tragic to me. Here you have this young, gifted young man (26), Blessed with God given talent getting killed by domestic violence. Die saving a child’s life of taking a bullet for your spouse, but not over an argument.
Chris Henry was one of the fortunate to make it to the NFL. He could feed his family. He could give them a better life then he had. His entire family benefited from him & the window of opportunity once wide opened has closed greatly.

Come on Man!! You missed your entire rookie year due to micro fracture surgery on you knee. Your play in your “1st” year made Andrew Bynum look like a tough guy. NOW you break your knee cap 20 games into your 3rd NBA season. Bro… you need a nickname.
