Co-MVPs Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant of the Western Conference hold up the trophy. Back together like tha old days. All we call do is think and talk about what if. At least we got to see them together again even if its just for the all-star game.
Maybe 5, 6, 7 rings if they had stayed together???? We will never know...
The last time his hair was this low he was doing stuff like this.

Eddie Robinson was born on this date in 1919. He would have been 90 years old today. Robinson spent fifty-six years as the head football coach at Grambling State University. During his tenure, Robinson established himself as the winningest coach in college football history, becoming the first coach to record 400 wins. In his career he led Tigers to 8 national Black college titles and more than 200 of his players went on to play in the NFL. He was a father, coach, uncle, disciplinarian, but most of all he was a friend to so many black males that entered his doors as boys and left as grown men.
Four African labels will be showing their Fall 2009 collections at New York Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, a semi-annual event that attracts thousands of fashion industry insiders.
This date marks the birth of Bob Marley in 1945. Bob Marley was born Robert Nesta Marley in rural Rhoden Hall in the Parish of St. Ann, Jamaica. His mother was a Jamaican teenager and his father a middle-aged captain in the West Indian regiment of the British Army. The rest like they say is history.
The importance of School Daze can't be stated enough. It gave the world a glimpse of what Black College life was and some would say still is. The issues that the movie touched on were as relevant then as they are now in today's society. This movie about homecoming weekend at a HBCU was able to capture the importance of a black college experience while still questioning its purpose and relevance in this day and time. From the problems in South Africa to shade issues here in the black community, Spike Lee used each issue to reach a different nerve. I just hope there are still the Dap's out there on these campuses trying to lift the political awareness of their fellow classmates and faculty. YEBies WAKE UP!!!!!!!
The Fayetteville, North Carolina native J. Cole is a rapper you need to add to you iPod asap. I started listen to him because a friend of mines who went to NC A&T gave me his cd. It had some of his stuff on it but I didn't get to hear much of the cd because it was super scratched. So I did what everybody does now; I googled him and then checked him out on Myspace. Dude grew on me fast to say the least. Then I saw his "Dollar And A Dream2" at 2db and it was a wrap. That instantly became my anthem in so many ways. Like any good fan I started passing that track out to anybody who would listen. Each time I would get the same responses back, "Who did that dollar and a dream track?" or "That mix was tough, but that dollar and a dream joint goes so hard". At that point I knew it wasn't just me that felt the realness of that song.
