In case you missed out on my post concerning Karl Malone and his illegitimate child with an underaged woman….. I hate the Utah Jazz. I always have and I always will.
This article over on Bleacher Report highlights a semi disturbing trend concerning the Jazz fans.
Utah fans have been overheard chanting “CANCER” when Derek Fisher touches the ball. Fisher’s baby daughter suffers from retinoblastoma, a rare type of eye cancer.
As Derek Fisher went to the line to shoot free throw after a technical foul, a fan behind the basket covered his right eye and began screaming at the Lakers’ point guard.
It doesn’t end there folks.. During the 2007 playoff series between Golden State and Utah, a few Warriors players recalled hearing racial insults from the stands.
When asked the difference between playing on the road and at home during the series against the Jazz, Warrior’s forward Stephen Jackson said, “”Well, we’re not hearing racial slurs, we’re not hearing people wishing for me to go to jail,” Jackson said. “That’s the difference for me. I’m loved here in Oakland.”
Jason Richardson was asked about the racial slurs and responded, “That was something new. It shocked all of us. We weren’t expecting that. I mean, [Jazz fans] were trying to get into our heads any way they can, but I couldn’t believe anybody would stoop that low. It’s nonsense.”
I suggest you head over to the Bleacher Report to read the entire thing. Feel from to drop a few comments and let me know what you think.
Everyone knows Snoop Dogg is a huge fan of the Los Angeles Lakers, he may not be attending as many games as Jack Nicholson but he reps the purple big time (in more ways than one).
Snoop includes names of just about all of the Lakers in the song, complete with shout outs to the late Chick Hearn. There’s even a little jab at the end about Shaquille O’Neal sitting at home on his couch while the lakers are still in contention. Somehow I wish Shaq was still playing, otherwise I may not have had to post that video of him mooning the camera. I’m still having nightmares.

Yesterday, Robber Horry played in his 237th playoff game, tying the all-time record held by Hall of Fame center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Horry has seven rings, and according to Bloomberg he has never been on a team that didn’t make it past the first round of the playoffs. While he’s been a roleplayer for the majority of his career, nobody can downplay his contributions.
Horry is always deadly when it matters.
Here’s my favorite Horry moment (and probably my favorite NBA playoff moment of all time). Game 4 of the western conference finals in 2002. Los Angeles Lakers vs. Sacramento Kings. Robert sticks a dagger in the heart of his opponents.
This shit right here is almost poetic.
ESPN’s Outside The Lines ran a report on USC’s O.J. Mayo receiving illegal benefits from his first year in highschool all the way up until last year. In the last 4-5 years Mayo has received up to $30,000 in cash and gifts in exchange for a verbal agreement to sign with BDA management when he made it to the NBA.
There are two things in this story that crack me up.
1. BDA management actually paid out $200,000 for O.J. Mayo, but most of that money was taken and spent by the middleman, Rodney Guillory.
2. You HAVE to see the look on O.J.’s face when ESPN puts him on the spot questioning these allegations. It reminds me of Miguel Tejada’s interview with E:60 a few weeks ago. Check it out in the vid below….
The following video is O.J. Mayo’s carefully thought out response to the above report.
