Rapper Fat Joe: LeBron James Not Comin’ to the Big Apple

2 Replies

Much as it pains him, Fat Joe says New Yorkers won’t be getting NBA superstar LeBron James any time soon.

Interviewed on H2GRadio, the rap star—who owns a street basketball team called the Terror Squad that plays in Harlem—weighs in on the chances of the New York Knicks snagging the Cleveland Cavaliers forward when his $60 million contract expires at the end the current NBA season, making him a free agent.

"I want somebody to be really, really disgusting in the paint," Fat Joe (above) tells us. "I want a rebounder and I want a dunker!"

"I want somebody to be really, really disgusting in the paint," Fat Joe (above) tells us. "I want a rebounder and I want a dunker!"

“My opinion, as just a fan, I don’t think we getting’ LeBron,” the Get It Poppin’ singer tells host Edgar Burgos.

But in the same breath, he offers alternate picks.

“I would roll up [Phoenix Suns forward] Amare Stoudemire so bad! See, the Knicks ain’t had a guy dunk and break that rim in such a long time, man.

“Who was the best Knick pound for pound in recent teams? Allan Houston had the best gun, but he was like that clean-cut basic player.

We ain’t had nobody since Continue reading →

Jack Nicholson Smackdown? He Could Never Reach Me! Says Bill Duke

Leave a reply

Director Bill Duke may be five years younger and six inches taller than Jack Nicholson, but he knows better than to diss The Joker’s beloved L.A. Lakers.

Interviewed on Film Festival Radio, Bill—a longtime L.A. resident—chats about getting away with cheering for visiting teams while perched on the sidelines of the Staples Center alongside other Hollywood heavyweights.

"I prefer ‘team' ball players," Bill (l) tells us vis-à-vis Boston—rather than the L.A. "star dunkers" that Jack (r) adores.

When host Janice Malone asks, “You’re a die-hard team of who— which team is it again?” Bill replies: Continue reading →

SoundBits: Audley Stephenson Makes Hoops Dream a Reality

Leave a reply

Perhaps better than anyone in cyberspace, Audley Stephenson knows that basketball isn’t just a game, it’s a way of life. And each week on The NBA Breakdown, he and co-host Dave Mendonca, who broadcast from their hometown of Toronto, prove it by not only covering the latest news of the season, but how pro hoops impacts everything from entertainment to fashion to humor to politics. Recent guests have included former NBA all-stars like John Starks and Elvin Hayes, and current sportscasters like ESPN’s Dick Vitale and The Best Damn Sports Show‘s Chris Rose. But there’s also been Kid-N-Play’s Chris Reid and R&B chart-topper Montell Jordan, who’ve shared their recollections of hanging with the pros. There there’s Kevin Johnson, the onetime NBA point guard who went on to become the first African-American mayor of Sacramento, Calif. While we’d love to tell you more, the 24-second clock will be kicking in any moment now, so it’s time to pass the ball to Audley…

Audley

Audley: Consistently slam-dunks from north of the border.

Give us a 15-second pitch for your show—why should listeners tune in?

The NBA Breakdown is a fun, high-energy basketball talk show. Dave and I interview big guests while delivering even bigger laughs. That’s because we disagree most of the time, so our opposing viewpoints often lead to good-natured verbal brawls. But for mild and hardcore fans alike, this is hoops talk the way it should be.

Tell us two things listeners would be surprised to learn about you?
