       Does the term “year-round hoops” mean anything to you? The greatest professional basketball athletes work just as hard during the off-season as they do during the season. As talented as Magic, Jordan, and Bird are – they didn’t become basketball icons by sitting out the off-season. Luckily, during off-season workouts athletes can taper their workouts to include rest and recover, which is nearly impossible during the season. Yes, playing basketball is job and it’s what they’re paid to do; but money can’t heal a fatigued body.everyone needs rest the Lockout continued for five months and glad to say that it is over and that 5 games will begin on Christmas Day.

       The new agreement will allow teams to open training camps, sign and contact players, and make trades. There will be just two preseason games this year between geographically close teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers with each team getting one home game.

He has an extensive record, ranging from domestic violence to drug charges. Sources say a police investigation uncovered evidence suggesting Ortega-Hernandez has a fixation on the White House.Obama, who is currently on a visit to Australia, was not present at the White House at the time of the incident, and has been out of town for the last week. Ortega is looking at life in prison for attempted assassination.

        Ortega says he thinks that Obama is the devil. understood hes mentally ill but Trying to take out the president is insane, even though Obama wasn't there when this happened, it could have been a lot worst.

This website above I found very disturbing wish I could have commented but I dont have an account with them but, what gives people the right (balls) to just call a African American a nigger im not understanding it doesnt matter what color you are Blacks can do the same things whites can. Basketball, TRACK sports that we as black people enjoy playing not because its uincludes runnig or stilling smh!!! I have no problem with different races (cacasion) but this article just took it to far we as people are making this world tough and it doesnt have to be that way most of these people are grown, is about time they acted like it. heres a comment that was made on the sight:  

Regardless of this nigger being a male or female, the bigger question is why it is allowed to compete against humans in the first place. Anyone notice that the only "sports" niggers excel at are one that are simple, like running fast, jumping or putting a ball through a hole. Any complex sports that require skill, strategy, technique or finesse they can't do or do it poorly.


"Why are niggers so good at basketball? Because it involves running, stealing and SHOOTING!"

 ME:WTF

        Civil Rigths Activist Rosa Parks was born February 4,1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama, Her refusal to surender her seat to a white passenger on a Montegomery bus on December 1,1955 started a very memorable moment. Rosa parks had a hard day at work (department store) she caught a bus on her way home she was told to give her seat up for a white man and she refused and was arrested. this started a boycott tht lasted 382 days, she recieved over 2 dozen rewards for her braveness. she changed the world says Al Sharpton he says she made the world respect her people and that were all here because she made a difference.Al sharpton speaks to the world saying cell phones and all other electronical devices didnt exist then but Dr. Martin luther king Jr still managed to gather thousands of people creating a boycott, what does this say? it says that Now A days our society takes life for granted and should take more time apreciating what historians have done to get us as people ehre we are today in Quoting Sharpton "Mirrors arent just a reflection of what you see they also to correct what you see".Rosa Parks died on October 25, 2005

Terrel Owens

T.Leaphart

        Former 37 year old  NFL star was hospitalized last week nobody really knowing the reason why but, according to his assistant he had taken many pills and she believes that it was a suicide a suicide attempt.Back in 2006, reports surfaced that T.O. was taken to the hospital due to a suicide attempt but he and his assistant both denied those reports at the time. T.O. is recovering from an ACL injury and is currently without a team for the 2011 NFL season maybe this is the reason he did what he did, he has a lot going on Physically hes OK. He also owes child support that he is unable to pay do to financial reason he received a court date to see if it was able to be reduced but he didn't show. why dint he show? GOOD QUESTION

 In my Opinion i think Terrel Owens just need to sit down and collect his thoughts together. Hes a great football player just hit a couple road blocks Suicides not the answer Get it together

Why Are Black Models Popular?
 
Black models are increasingly popular because as of present, there are still just a hand full of them in the industry. Therefore when an African American man or woman becomes a model, they tend to stand out. The first well-known Black model was Vanessa Williams, who was also the first African American to be crowned as Mrs. America. However, by the late 1990's due to diversity being more accepted, Black models were much more in-demand. This was mostly attributed to the sharp growth in popularity of Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell, Tyson Beckford, Selita Ebanks, and more.
The hip-hop revolution also fueled the popularity of Black male and female models. Magazines such as XXL, The Source, and Vibe became fashion resources for African American modeling urban clothing. This led to a movement whereas rappers, R&B singers, and even Black athletes were being used as models. Some great examples include: LL Cool J, Fat Joe, B2K, P. Diddy, Jay-Z, Venus and Serena Williams, and Beyonce.
In recent years, several Black-owned modeling agencies have popped up in urban areas near Atlanta, New York, Washington DC, and Los Angeles. Many of them market heavily on urban radio stations encouraging listeners to attend local auditions. This, in turn, fuels the careers of young 




Becoming a  African American male model is in my future i plan on becoming successful, I want to make a difference in todays society. through all the crime and deaths we have in our communitys no matter what just keep pushing, Life doesnt stop it keeps going so just live thats what i plan to do.
