Comments (3)Shaq-Poo
With Shaq struggling to get back in game shape while at the same time fighting crime, it made me think of the other things the multitalented Big Aristotle has accomplished in his career. He’s a glorified county sheriff… whatever. No one can take him seriously in that role. His real shining moments were as a rapper, especially that video with Aaron Carter.
Shaq released 6 albums!? Unbelievable. He did manage to get some pretty decent names on them: Method Man, Eric Sermon, Nate Dogg, Fu-Schnickens, and Warren G head the list, but it seems like his style is perfectly suited for a bunch of 12-year-olds. Any older and his audience would be schnickering endlessly.

The Basketball Jones ‘The Fix’ — Episode 094 (.mp3)
In today’s show, Tas and I discuss argue over Kobe’s one-game suspension: was the slap to Ginobili’s face inadvertent?; what took the league so long with their ruling?; does Kobe think he’s bigger than the game?; and much, much, more…
We also wonder where freshly-waived Eddie Jones will land, if LeBron’s “coasting,” hand out our Whoa Boy fantasy line-of-the-night, and somehow — against all odds — keep our Book It! streak alive!

In today’s show, Skeets and I discuss Marc Stein’s ESPN Power Rankings: Stein’s curse on the Suns; 6 of the top 12 from the Leastern Conference?; the teams we can’t figure out where to rank; and much, much, more…
We also ponder a conspiracy surrounding Gilbert Arenas being voted in as an All-Star, hand out our Whoa Boy fantasy line-of-the-night, and lose our Book It! because, like that kid in your phys ed class who never used deodorant, we stink!

Comments (5)Got Tickets? Take Me As A Date 2 The NBA All-Star Game
I am a fun, funny, hot guy looking for a date to the NBA All-Star Weekend. I’m a HUGE basketball fan who grew up in Canada, right where the sport of basketball was invented! I’ve already got my Segway charged and ready to roll to Las Vegas, I just need tickets to the All-Star game and all the festivities!!!!!
You won’t find a more fun companion for the game and parties anywhere!! I LOVE basketball, LOVE gambling, can drink with the best grade school kids around, and let’s be honest, I’m fucking hot, dude. So come on, bring someone who will REALLY appreciate it! I’ve been waiting 26 years for the All-Star game to be in Vegas, now I just need to get to there!!! : )
Note: I am NOT an escort. This is a good ol’ fashioned date. I will however buck tradition and, as the guy, give you one quick reach around.

Ep. 092: Family Matters …
… and so does this mid-season’s Most Improved Player, OK?
The Basketball Jones — Episode 092 (.mp3)
On today’s show, Tas and I are joined by SportsIllustrated’s Kelly Dwyer to hand out some half-way point hardware (MVP, ROY, Sixth Man, etc.), share a refreshing iced tea, argue about Manu Ginobli, and much, much more…
We also take a call about the Knicks, tell Shaq he’s a wanker, giveaway a DVD box set, and pick a SuperBowl winner.

Comments (1)DJ KD Back On TBJ
I’ll make this quick because I’m busy trying to cement myself as the “Unsilent Majority” of the Deadspin weekend scene, but this is a reminder that Kelly Dywer — from Sports Illustrated DOT com — will be stopping by The Jones studio tomorrow to get drunk, talk basketball and play a shit load of backgammon. He was hilariously awesome the first time around, so you can expect fireworks tomorrow, people. Chemistry soaked. Fire. Works.
Anyway, if you have any questions or comments for KD — like, “Did the FreeDarko commenters intimidate you?” or “Were you pissed that Abbott didn’t thank you with another Jewel clip?” — then send ‘em in.
There are four — count’em four! — ways to do so:
1. E-mail — jones@thebasketballjones.net
2. Call and record a message — 214.5.JONES.1
3. Send an ODEO (it’s sort of working now)
4. Leave it in the comments
Also, our producer JD’s handing over the ones and twos again, so KD willl be shuffling through the milk crates in complete control of the musical beats. I definitely expect some Smokey and the Miracles.
And oh, yeah, you’ll hear this baby early Monday morning. Lates.
