(Photos: Getty Images) The NBA Playoffs started today, and LeBron James was determined to prove his worthiness in the first game of the playoffs. The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Washington Wizards by a 7-point win (93 – 86). LeBron had 32 points, Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 22 points and 11 rebounds, Delonte West made four free throws in the final 15.1 seconds to seal Cleveland’s win. Making two tough shot at the very stretch of the game. LeBron played his hardest to prove to Wizards’ shooting guard, DeShawn Stevenson, that he’s not what Stevenson called him [James], “Overrated”.
Body on Me by Nelly is a newly leaked track from the album Brass Knuckles, set to be released June 24, 2008. The song features Akon. I wouldn’t call it single material, per se, but it’s alrite. I’m still loving Party People with Fergie!
Here West-coast rapper The Game, as well as R&B singer Keyshia Cole, can be heard on his new single Pain from his forthcoming album L.A.X. (Los Angeles Times) in all markets June 24th, 2008! I like the song, it’s like a little homage to all the people that paved the way for them, even Keyshia shouts out Mary J. Blige at the end, even though people say she “bites” off of her which is lame! However came up with that word needs to get shot immediately.
i15, a dynamic trio consisting of Das, 21, Castro, 21 and Flash, 23 reppin’ the West-coast, has a new single/video out called Lost In Love, produced by Polo Da Don. I don’t know if you recall or not but they made a cameo in Soulja Boy’s Soulja Girl video. They are also signed to Zone 4/Interscope Records. Peep the video after the cut! CONTINUE READING
Janet Jackson’s fourth single is “Can’t Be Good”, from her recent album release, Discipline (Island). Not sure if there is a video shoot for this single but Janet is currently in Japan promoting her tour and album.
Serena Williams defeated Maria Sharpova for the fourth time straight on Friday, 7-5, 4-6, 6-1, in the Family Circle Cup quarterfinals. Serena hasn’t lost to Sharpova since 2005. I wonder will this spark a little bit of a rivalry if it hasn’t already. Check out the highlights video up top! Serena feels that this was best match she ever played:
“It was an up-and-down match,” said Williams, trying for her third tour title this year. “I don’t think I played my best. Actually, I played far from my best.”
Ballots for MVP are already in and Kobe Bryant is the winner, but LeBron James agrees that Kobe deserves the award. Lebron recently said:
”I’d give it to Kobe,” Lebron says ”What he’s done this whole year, to carry that team to the No. 1 team in the West right now. He’s playing his best basketball all around. I’ve watched him the whole year. I saw it last summer when I played with him with USA Basketball and the sacrifices he’s made for the team and he’s done that with the Lakers.”
Jay-Z will appear on the remix to Mariah Carey’s second single, “Bye Bye”, from her new album E=MC2. Jermaine Dupri actually confirmed both of these facts, quote unquote:
“The remix for the Mariah record is crazy.” “Young Hov and Mariah crank it up, and myself — a.k.a. Barry Bonds — cleans up.”
