The Plane Boss!.. The Plane!

Back from Vegas Vacation, too much fun. I'm so tired, jet-lag is a piece of shit. Terrible idea to take 3 planes throughout the night. We left Vegas at 11:15pm and got home at 11:30am today. I got no sleep the whole time and passed out when I got home. I have no idea how NBA players travel so much, I hate it.

I'll probably put up some pics, maybe some video a little later, if I'm not sleeping again. Could be a couple days before I recover. It'll be rough but I'll get there.

As The World Turns

Man life is crazy, I would've posted this sooner but I needed time to think about it and process everything. Turns out my path to the pros is taking a detour, Yes that's right, I'm going back to school. I have 4 years of college eligibility left , so I might as well use it. I met one of the new coaches for Dutchess County Community College just playing ball at my old stomping grounds. Who would have thought after all those years playing at San Giacomo park, I actually would have ran into a coach looking for talent. San G was always just the place to hang out with friends and shoot around, City leagues and High School was where I was suppose to show out.

Hopefully this guy is for real, but we've been texting back and forth all day about paperwork and team meetings and everything else that goes with this recruiting stuff. This recruiting process is pretty cool, It's nice to be wanted for something that has been a serious part of the majority of your life. Everything's moving so fast, hopefully my instincts steer me in the right direction and everything comes out good.

Peace

Support Talent

So I'm really into covers of songs, for some reason I usually enjoy the cover much more then original. Something about a new take on an already good song does it for me. Good old trusty youtube produces some unknown talent and let's you hear or see alot of stuff that you never would off gotten of mainstream sites and what not.

This guy here can sing his ass off and he does amazing covers of the most popular mainstream song's out today. Most of the mainstream stuff I'm just not that into, but he gives it a good twist.

His name is J.R.A, he was an American Idol reject a couple years ago, but dude is nice and I believe he has an album coming out soon. I'm not sure if it will have a big release or anything, probably not but I still enjoy his music and would like to share it. Hopefully he makes it big someday, he's nice.

The song I put up isn't even one of his best. He's got alot of Drake covers(including a sick one of Best I ever Had), some Dream, and check out his original song All the Time, he's a talented writer as well.

808's and Pumpfakes

IGN has new info on NBA 2K10

This year 2K will be releasing a mini-game before the actual game comes out. You can make your own player put him through drills and games, and hopefully get him built up for the NBA Draft Combine. If only it was as easy in real life.

"You can design your fader, leaner, drift left or right, free throw and other shots using a list of presets. The same goes for a lengthy assortment of dribbling moves such as spins, half-spins, crossovers and hesitation moves."

When you thought things were getting stale, they do this. YES
