By Souleo. LeBron James effectively ends any chance of the Cleveland Cavaliers winning a championship by choosing to join the Miami Heat; Lindsay Lohan will soon be sitting pretty behind bars; Dave Chapelle forces a private jet to make an emergency landing; yet another innocent Black man is murdered and why checking out at the grocery store may soon require a breathalyzer test.  It's all here in this week's round-up.  Check it.

LeBron James Breaks Dan Gibson's Pockets Heart

Cleveland Cavaliers owner, Dan Gibson's open letter blasting LeBron James for his decision to play with the Miami Heat has everyone weighing in on their beef.   According to the funny commenter below it seems that Dan is suffering from an emotional one night stand rather than the loss of a team member.

"This Nicca sounds like LeBron went up in that ass last night woke up this morning without even so mucha s a good-bye..Can somebody please tell this lame O that he's sounds truly btch-made?"

Lindsay Lohan Jail

Few thought it would actually happen-with celebrities regularly getting special treatment-but Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to 90 days of jail.  While many commented on her sentencing, her painted fingernail that read "F**K U" and the judge's firmness I couldn't help but laugh at this reading of Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, who has since resigned from the case.

"The lawyer isn't even looking at her. It's more like she's saying, "Quit yer whining. You dug this hole. I'm ready to clock out of this bitch and chillax with a super stiff martini. You're wearing on my nerves!"

Dave Chapelle's Poop is Special

After Dave Chapelle's allegedly "erratic behavior," forced a private jet to make an emergency landing his reps blamed a bad stomach ache for the drama.  According to his reps the bathroom on the plane was "not the kind he needed."  If that is the truth-which I highly doubt-then this commenter just may be right on the money since obviously Dave can't poop unless he has special accommodations.

"The bathroom was "not the kind he needed"? What the f*ck does that mean? He can't poop unless he's 10 feet in the air, hanging upside down?"

Is the No Snitching Policy just as Bad as Police Brutality?

The shooting death of Oscar Grant, an unarmed African-American, on New Year's Day in 2009 by a former BART officer in Oakland has the topic of police brutality once again in the headlines.  While the officer was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter yesterday afternoon the commenter below feels that justice won't be served until we stop ignoring the violence perpetuated by our own community members.

"...I'm not making light of what happen to the young man...But where is the outrage that should reach epic proportions for our own killing one another. This type of behavior is ignored mostly by our communities.  Why do we give our own a free pass to commit murder without a second thought...RIP Oscar"

The End of the World as We Know it?

With nightclubs in Barcelona requiring a Verichip implant to access their VIP areas and Mexico's attorney general and 160 of his staff members being implanted with tracker chips, there is no question that technology is changing the world.   Recently the state government of Pennsylvania launched trials for a new system where consumers are forced to scan their ID, perform a breathalyzer test and stare into a surveillance camera before a government employee approves their purchase. While some find the system a convenient shopping experience others, like the commenter below worry that this may soon mean the end of privacy and freedom as we know it.

"'Government' or 'Power Elite' all-out-control of human activity for the sake of 'SAFETY' will over-ride and predominate above and beyond any and all considerations and aspects of human life. So people then may become 'safe' however they then will become completely enslaved to that which gives and provides them this 'safety.'

All this stuff is conditioning people to turn into 'lady gaga' robots."

By Souleo. Chris Brown's tears; Mel Gibson's obscene rants; Janet Jackson's live comeback performance; yet another sports star arrested for acting a fool and illegal immigration.  It's all here in this week's round-up.  Check it.

Who Says Men Don't Cry?

According to the commenter below if you ever want to know if someone is faking their tears or not just look for snot.  If the snot is flowing the truth is showing.  While this assessment is a bit uh, unorthodox, the commenter is on-point by noting that Chris Brown's career has been given new life thanks to his snot-nosed inspired tribute to Michael Jackson at the BET Awards.

"Baby you don't have to explain yourself I felt it through the TV you hear me, like someone said "YOU COULD FAKE TEARS BUT YOU CAN'T FAKE SNOT." Give my boo a break!! take your mouths off his d**k its no more cum left."

Mel Gibson, Tiny and Pigs

Mel Gibson has gone off the deep end yet again after allegedly being recorded by his ex Oksana Grigorieva, saying "You're an embarrassment to me. You look like a f-king pig in heat and if you get raped by a pack of n-ers it will be your fault."   Aside from Mel's pathetic racist rant what baffled me and others was the "pig in heat" reference.  No one quite knows what one looks like but according to the commenter below, T.I's fiancé, Tiny might be a good point of reference.  Wow, I don't think Tiny deserved this one but it sure was funny.

"missy says: did this thingg say "look ike a pig in heat" ..How the heck does a pig in heat look like... have you ever seen a pic of Tiny?"

Ms. Jackson's "Nasty" Crotch Makes a Comeback

We all might want to stand at least 20 feet away from Ms. Jackson because apparently her crotch is a fire hazard.  Well, not exactly but according to this commenter Janet burned the roof off of the Essence Musical Festival with her flaming vagina and dynamic comeback show.  You gotta love a Stan who goes all the way in!

"Janet, you're p**** was on FIRE! Snatching wigs left and right. YAAASSSS!"

Gun?  What Gun?

If you asked most people whether or not they are carrying a gun they'd be able to answer with a confident yes or no. Cleveland Browns defensive end, Robaire Smith is not most people.  When he was pulled over at the Flint's Bishop Airport he told the officers that he did not know he had a loaded gun in his luggage.  For that reason alone, I agree with this commenter that perhaps he's had one too many footballs to the head.

Over the Borderline and Then Some...

President Barack Obama recently addressed the issue of immigration in his first such speech since taking office.  The question is can we really handle more illegal immigrants with the recession we are experiencing here at home?  According to the commenter below the answer is: hell to the no!  While the commenter is wrong to stereotype all illegal immigrants, the issue of just how much more we can handle as a nation is one that demands serious consideration.

"Our President calls for not one, but three amnesties (comprehensive, DREAM, and AgJOBS) when so many Americans are out of work. Whom exactly does he represent. 15 million Americans are out of work, and a further 10 million cannot find a full-time job, at a time when 8 million illegal aliens have jobs. Millions of American families are having trouble paying their mortgage and putting food on the table, but you seem to be more concerned with protecting individuals who have stolen American jobs and broken American laws and are poiusoning our country starting gangs and bringing more and more drugs over our boarders. Any comprehensive amnesty for illegal aliens are just plain wrong and goes against the wishes of the vast majority of the American people. 25 million Americans are either unemployed or cannot find a full-time job provide amnesty ????? HOW BLIND IS THIS WHOLE SITUATION??????"

By Souleo. Recently tennis champion, Venus Williams came under fire for her sexy lingerie inspired look on the court that once again pushed the envelope of sportswear. In honor, we're taking a look at some of the most memorable sports stars who make a statement with their style on the court, field, ice and golf course.

Venus Williams:

Sex sells but does it also make you win a championship? Venus put that idea to the test with this sheer sexy look that was one jump or dip away from being a total "wardrobe malfunction."

Dennis Rodman:

It was always a disappointment watching Dennis play basketball because you just knew that all his outrageousness was stifled by a uniform. How great it would have been to see him play a game in drag. Well, our wishes were never fulfilled but Dennis still managed to make a statement on the court with his arms full of tattoos and colorful hair.

Serena Williams:

It's hard to think of any other female sports star that has created as many fashion statements on the court as Serena. From the knee high leather boots to the rock star leather jacket Serena always brings her A-fashion game.

Chad Ochocinco:

If Dennis Rodman plated football he'd look like this. Chad is one of the NFL's most colorful characters. Here, the color of choice is gold with a mean grill, stud earrings and a blonde Mohawk that makes us recall Mr. T.

David Beckham:

Sometimes less is more and David knows that better than any other sports player as he's raked in millions for posing in his underwear for Emporio Armani. We can't say that not wearing a shirt is style but it's certainly eye catching on the field.

Johnny Weir:

When it comes to crossing boundaries few do it with as much style, sass and confidence as Johnny Weir. After all, it takes a real man to don a low cut corset, tight suede pants and hot pink. You go girl boy!

Tiger Woods:

We are still not completely over his cheating scandal but at least he can still dress. Tiger's fashion choices bring an air of sophistication and cool that are a far cry from the hideous loud plaids and bold primary colors that were once associated with golf attire.

Lebron James:

It's the headband. Lebron is rarely seen without it and it's become his signature. We don't think we could recognize him on the court without it.

Which other sports stars do you think make bold and fresh fashion statements?

ESPN recently selected the Top 10 NBA plays of the decade. Watch buzzer beaters, alley opps, dunks and more from some of the best players in the league, like Chris Paul, Tracy Mcgrady, Kobe Bryant,  and others. What plays do you think should have made the cut?

Start the new year looking fresh in a pair of basketball kicks. Check out some of our top sellers over at JimmyJazz.com and Jimmy Jazz stores. Don't get caught tripping like Allen Iverson!

In the spirit of Christmas (and basketball), Nike Basketball delivers yet another hilarity with it's Kobe Bryant and LeBron James puppets, with music provided by hip-hop legend, KRS-One (who also plays a stylish Santa in the clip). The trio gets called on by 3 trash talking reindeers to the court. Gets who gets dunked on?

If your in the Ohio area, make sure to swing by the Jimmy Jazz store in LeBron James' hometown of Akron and cop' the LeBron James Nike Zoom. Also available at JimmyJazz.com in all black.

So Allen Iverson may have just been better off retiring from the game of basketball. Back in September, Iverson was traded to Memphis Grizzlies from the Detroit Pistons. Since his trade to Memphis, Iverson was upset that he had to ride the bench, due to serious back injury. Shortly after, in November, Iverson and the Grizzlies parted their ways and Iverson made his way back to the team he first started his professional career with, the Philadelphia 76ers.

But, it may have just been better for the Hampton, VA born Iverson to just settled on top. During a game with the Detroit Pistons, Rodney Stuckey gave Iverson the business. Some may say that that Stuckey, 23, hit Iverson with a astonishing cross-over, but others argue that Allen Iverson tripped. You be the judge.

To keep Allen Iverson on top of his game, we compiled some of our hottest basketball kicks. Here's what we recommend for Iverson to roc on the court.

Boxer Manny Pacquiao recently defeated Miguel Cotto in a brutal 12 round match this past Saturday at the MGM Grand Hotel for the WBO welterweight title. The winner, Manny, will now face off reigning and undefeated champ, Floyd Joy Mayweather. Jr (who has a flawless record of 40-0).

Here's a clip of Floyd 'Pretty Boy' Mayweather giving his opinion on the Pacquiao's recent match with Miguel Cotto, his thoughts on how the sport of boxing perceives him and more.

In the past, Mayweather has been criticize by boxing insiders and fans of the sport for not taking on worthy of opponents. If that's the case, Floyd (who is often referred to as Pretty Boy and Money Mayweather) can't do much running now. Both Pacquiao and Mayweather will box-off in the ring in 2010.

Serena Williams, Tennis Superstar & Common's super boo, is currently featured on ESPN The Magazine "Body Issue", due to hit stands this Friday, October 9th. She looks fierce!!!

The "Body Issue" also features over 30 popular sports figures. Which include Dwight Howard (aka Superman), Manny Pacquiao and NFL players Casey Hampton and Torry Holt... amongst others. For more info, pep USA Today.

It's hard to believe that early in Michael Jordan's career, the basketball great was cornered by German-based footwear & apparel performance brand, adidas. In the video, below, the former NBA player says that Nike gave him a deal that was to good to refuse. Jordan also admits that while in college he wore Converse sneakers (side note: The North Carolina Tar Heels were sponsored by Converse), and never wore Nike until he inked a Nike contract. Along with the sportswear leader, Nike, Jordan has been a major spokesperson for Gatorade, Ball Park Franks, McDonalds, Hanes, Wheaties, Coca-Cola, Chevrolet, Rayovac, Wheaties, and MCI. 

Today, the Nike Jordan brand is one of the most in demand in the country. It's also been a athletic sponsor for college sports programs such as Cincinnati, St. John's, Gerogetown, and Michael Jordan's old school North Carolina. The brand also endorses players from all sports realms, including Chris Paul (New Orleans Hornets), Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets), Terrel Owens (Buffalo Bills), Derek Jeter (New York Yankees), and several others. 

Who knows what would have happen if Michael Jordan would have signed a sneaker contract with adidas. Would sneaker heads camp out for a 3-stripped branded Jordan shoe? The world would never know. But, we do know that the Air Jordan Jumpman Logo and Nike Swoosh is internationally synonymous with MJ.

Here's a old school commercial for Nike Air Jordan, staring Michael Jordan (as himself) and Spike Lee as Mars Blackmon.
