"Don't call me Magic...call me Monkey King"

Okay...The Lakers acquired Sun Yue from China in the summer and everyone kept calling him the Magic Johnson of China.  I've seen him play and he's pretty good but I don't think I would compare him with the great Magic Johnson.  We'll see though.  And wussup with the nickname he calls himself.  I don't know if  got his name from that one movie with Jet Li and Jackie Chan...oh...The Forbidden Kingdom but I don't like it.  He should take it as a compliment that he's called the Magic Johnson of China and leave it as that.  I hope he can jump like a monkey though and dunk over Paul Pierce on Christmas Day.

"Kobe is not the best player in the world...I am."

Paul Pierce said "Kobe is not the best player in the world...I am."  Get out of here Paul.  You're not even the best player in you're team.  When you didn't have Kevin Garnett or Ray Allen...you couldn't even make it to the playoff.  Kobe took his team to the playoff with Kwame Brown!!  Oh...did I mention that you don't have a gold medal.  The country didn't even want you to play for them.  Get out of here Paul.  We'll see this Christmas who the best player in the NBA is.

I wanted to share this video with the world cuz it's the best dunk I've seen kobe do last season.  I remember at that moment when I was watching the game and he did that dunk...you guys remember those glasses with the eyeballs popping out?...that's how my eyes were.  I can't wait to see kobe dunk over shaq this season and rap "Tell me how my ass taste?"

If you guys have not seen the video where shaq was at a club rapping crap about kobe.

Watch this!!!  

Wooooow!!!  When I heard this...I lost so much respect for shaq.  I know he plays around sometimes but dang....this is a little too much don't you think?
