Are You F'ing Kidding Me?


Yes, the paragraph alignment is probably messed up in this post, but look who is at fault. If you do not know then you either live in a cave in Mongolia, or you have been a hobo for the last decade (which even I doubt because hobos need self-fulfillment material too).

Adriana Lima has been my favorite supermodel for years now but I think she just lost that top spot to Alessandra Ambrosio.

The reason? Lima is dating this. Yes, that, Marko Jaric. An ex-Clipper and current Minnesota Timberwolve. The dude who averages 7.7 points to go with his 3.8 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game in his career.

Adriana, I can average more assists and rebounds per game. Probably not the points, but I would capture hearts on the court like Earl Boykins.

Teammate Mark Madsen spilled the beans on Jaric's relationship with Lima.

"Ever since he started dating Adriana Lima, he's a new man," Madsen said, laughing. "He's flying all over the court. He dunked! I've never seen him dunk."

Jaric, who scored a season-high 21 points Monday during the Wolves' 103-94 win, took the teasing in stride. Asked if the relationship is the reason why he's playing better, he smiled and said: "Maybe that's the thing, I don't know."

Teammate Antoine Walker didn't know Jaric is dating a supermodel but quipped: "He's overachieving."


For once in my life, I agree with the glutton Walker. According to the article, she even flew to Denver on Thanksgiving and attended the Wolves game the following day against the Nuggets.

What. The. Hell. She should have spent Thanksgiving with me; the chorizo stuffing would have floored her.

I just lost so much respect for this broad. Ugh.

Pat Riley Taking Antoine Walker's Plate Away


General Manager move of the year!

Okay it is not a done deal yet, but reports are out today that the Heat are dealing Antoine Walker and others to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Ricky Davis and Mark Blount.
*Update: Done Deal*


He did what I thought was the impossible, trade off the contract of Walker. I may have already been a fan of Pat Riley before this because of the Showtime Lakers, but he has just elevated himself further in my book.

How do you get a team to take this unmotivated, overpaid basketball player? Riley had called this guy out in the media for being out of shape a month ago, and now he found a taker. Genius.

I know it is not the a groundbreaking deal, or one that has glitz and glam to it. But the fact that the Miami Heat is on the verge of getting rid of Walker is godly.
