Sore Losers

Webster's Dictionary defines "sore" as angry, irked...
Well, that's exactly what the Lakers must've been feeling for the last 4 games in the Playoffs; because Artest & Bynum definitely expressed their feelings like the usual "sore" loser would, by taking their anger or frustration out on the other team.

I simply look at it as an expression of Newton's Law of Gravity: What goes up, must come down. At some point, the Lakers' dynasty had to come falling down.

Personally, I believe that the Los Angeles Lakers are a good team; however, ever since some of their players became arrogant, I could no longer tolerate them. Again, he who exalts himself shall be humbled; and he who humbles himself shall be exalted. The Lakers were definitely involuntarily humbled by the beat-down from the Dallas Mavericks, and the Mavs were exalted!

Other than Lakers fans, who wants to see the same team win the NBA Championship over & over? It's simply time for someone else to shine!

Back to Artest & Bynum...
I titled this blog Sore Losers, because Artest & Bynum did not have to commit such violent acts against Barea. I mean come on, you were already losing the game. This was very unnecessary. By taking those shots at Barea, did it earn you anymore points for your team? Did it help you win the game? Plain & simply, it did NOT! I'm sure those licks at the time made you feel good to let our your anger and frustration, but afterwards, think about the backlash it has and will cause. People will be talking about this for quite a while, and I'm surprised the league hasn't tried to fine the team or at least fine Artest & Bynum.

Also, what's going on with Gasol? For the last few games he's played, it seemed as if his mind was somewhere else. He was missing passes & shots. Not only did Gasol play weakly, but so did some of his other teammates. While many have said that the last few games had to be fixed because of the way the Lakers were playing, I still would like to just think that maybe they played poorly due to a combination of things. Things such as personal issues, fatigue, or the simple fact that their season is up.

Best wishes to the Mavs!

As I was sitting at my desk at work today listening to a new song being performed by one of my favorite Old School Hip-Hop groups called A Tribe Called Quest ( also known as ATCQ), I had a flashback of the 90's; which was a great era for music. Then I got to thinking about other groups in the 90's, such as Goodie Mob , Outkast , The Fugees ,& Jodeci , which then sent me deeper into a Flashback mode. I started asking myself the following questions: Since it appears as though a lot of great music was released in 1998, where were you that year? What were you doing? (One of my favorite Goodie Mob songs - Released in 1998) Oh boy...what did I ask those questions for? Immediately, I had opened "Pandora's Box", if you will; because all types of memories started flowing through my head, but the affect wasn't as strong as it used to be. One memory or season in particular had a huge impact on my life, which was my time as a college student at U.S.L. (Univers

Be Prepared!

Good morning y'all. I was sitting here listening to a YouTuber's commentary about Trump supporters & David Duke & how Trump is firing up White Nationalists, and when the guy said: "All I'm saying is...Be Prepared, because things are going to get worse after this election"....I immediately thought about this old Lion King song, and how fitting it is to things going on right now. It may seem silly or simple of me to use a cartoon for something so serious, but I really believe a lot of reality is hidden subliminally in movies. Click HERE for the Lion King song titled "Be Prepared", and pay attention to how Skar is planning to overtake the whole kingdom & how his followers are marching the same way Hitler's troops were marching in. This stuff is not a coincidence! They are sending subliminal messages! Looking at how Donald Trump wants to "Make America Great Again" & David Duke is a known Grand Wizard of the Klan & suppor

Dark Girls Rise!

Dark Girls Rise! 06/26/2013 K.R. Brumfield Part 1:      On Sunday, June 23, 2013, the Documentary Dark Girls premiered on OWN ( Oprah Winfrey Network ). It’s a Documentary about the negative images, low self-esteem, and colorism amongst Black women and the African-American Community. The Documentary is directed by Bill Duke & D. Channsin Berry, presented by Duke Media & Urban Winter Entertainment .      Basically, I’d like to share aspects of the Documentary with you by touching on specific comments or interviews and adding my opinion. ***********************      I believe this Documentary is a much needed tool within the Black Community, as this topic is not discussed enough, which leads to further miscommunication, degradation, and ignorance amongst us all.  Dark Girls , the Documentary, was very educational.  It touched on subject matter such as our history as a people, colorism & colonization, and how it impacts not only African-American
