Jason Whitlock comments this past week on the FS1 talk shows " Speak for Yourself" and 'The Herd" regarding Lebron James handling of the vandalism that happen to his home were ridiculous. He said and I quote " that Lebron is not a victim, racism only effects poor people." Chris Broussard begin naming guys like Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Henry Lewis Gates, and Jason Whitlock responded, " poor people." Seriously? Who the hell are you to say these are poor people or to just designate racism to only poor people. This isn't being an uncle Tom this is Jason Whitlock being ignorant and insulting to every American rich or poor, black or white who have experienced racism. This isn't the first time Jason Whitlock has degraded his own race though, he has made awful remarks regarding Mike Tomlin and Kobe Bryant as well for ratings. He figures as long as I say these controversial things about the black race and the black athletes, I will keep the rig...

Wednesday at 6:44 a.m., the Los Angeles home of LeBron James was vandalized with N-Word graffiti. LeBron said "My family is safe." and went on to say "But it goes to show that racism will always be a part of the world, a part of America, especially for African-Americans, is living every day" FS1 analyst Jason Whitlock commented on James's home being vandalized by saying that "racism is primary an issue for the poor. It's not LeBron James's issue." and that he has "removed himself from the damages and ravages of real racism." I completely disagree with those comments. Not only that but I believe that the mentality that Jason Whitlock has is the number one problem in our fight for equality. Mr. Whitlock is not the only African-American that feels that money and fame can put you "above racism". This thinking is more common than you may believe. The problem with thinking that way is that you are dividing African-Ameri...

The Golden State Warriors blowout the Cleveland Cavaliers 113-91 to take the 1-0 lead. Kevin Durant had a game high 38 points 9 rebounds and 8 assist, shooting 53% from the field. Stephen Curry played outstanding finishing with 28 points 10 assist 6 rebounds, making 6 3-pointers LeBron James finished with 28 points 15 rebounds 8 assist, while Kevin Love grabbed a game high 21 rebounds game high with 15 points. Man... I wasn't expecting this. I was looking forward to a good game since the rest of the playoffs been such a drag. Half of me wants this to be a great series full of "scrappiness" and close games, but the other half of me know what time it is. And this Game 1 blowout is what time it is. The Warriors have been waiting on this moment since the day Kevin Durant signed. Golden State threw the best punches time after time after time. There were a few times, especially in the first half where the Cavs had life but Durant was too much. twincitiesbusinessradio.com ...

The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors are getting ready to start an epic NBA Finals maybe the greatest we've seen in the last 15-20 years! This is Ali vs Frazier, Tyson vs Holyfield, Mayweather vs Manny, I could go on and on.. This two teams come into this series with a combined record of 24-1 in which the one loss was an obvious fluke! You have the best player in the world in Lebron, The best scorer in the world in Kevin Durant, The best shooter in Steph, the best ball handler in Kyrie, and the best defender in the game right now in Draymond! I didn't even get to mention the perennial all stars Kevin Love and Klay Thompson name! This is set up to be one of the greatest playoff series in history!  First things first there is no underdog in this series, let's stop that. The Cavs are on the same level as the Warriors are. If the Cavs beat the Warriors it's no upset they just win! Dallas beating Miami was an upset, Detroit beating the Lakers was an...

According to ESPN's Ian Begley, the Minnesota Timberwolves is interested in signing 3-time All-Star Derrick Rose this offseason. At 28 years old, this will be Rose first time being a free agent. Last season for the Knicks, Rose played 64 games averaging 18 points a game with 4 assist and 4 rebounds.  Frequently injured, Rose played 64 out of the Knicks first 74 games before missing the remainder of the season with a right knee meniscus tear. Minnesota has a huge question mark coming into this off season at the point guard position. Starter Ricky Rubio will be an unrestricted free agent this off season. Rubio is a solid point guard and consistently among the league leaders in assist and steals, but lack scoring ability and the athleticism that is the trend in today's point guard game. Kris Dunn, 5th pick in last years draft, has the athleticism and the size at 6'4 205 lbs but had a disappointing rookie season, only averaging 3.8 points per game. Rubio is a great poi...

The NFL owners voted to make most touchdown celebrations legal again. This includes group celebrations, using the ball as a prop and snow angels. Celebrations that will still be penalized include, dunking the goal post, miming weapons and any sexually suggestive action. Mixed responses have came from the decision. Players are excited that they can  have fun after a touchdown without costing their team 15 yards. NFL coaches, such as Bengals Marvin Lewis are against the rule changing saying that players should play the game "The right way." Rodger Goodell, NFL Commissioner (nesn.com) I'm excited that the NFL will stop penalizing players for celebrations. It made no sense to me in the first place. I'm a firm believer in the saying "If you don't want me to celebrate, stop me." I understand the rule in college football. Most college football players have no intentions on playing NFL football, so there's no need to rub it in kids faces when your p...

LeBron's 11 point performance in Game 3 shouldn't be a cause for any panic. The Celtics are without their leading scorer Isaiah Thomas for the remainder of the series. There's no way the Celtics come back in this series. Brad Stevens is a top 5 coach in all of basketball. The way he draw up plays out of timeouts will put the right player in position to score every time. Avery Bradley was wide open for that game winning three. Much credit should be giving to Boston for coming out and competing on the road and down 21. But we all know how this series is going to end. LeBron not scoring in the 4th quarter only tells me that he was taking the night off. LeBron can score whenever he wants. Boston is notorious for their defense but holding James to 11 points will not be the norm. At this point it's clear that the Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors will be in the Finals. It will be best if both teams conserve as much energy as possible because this year's finals wil...
