Letter to Lebron

It was all a dream, we watched you from when you were a boy. You became a man before our eyes. "This kid could be special" we said.

We cheered you as you walked across our stage. We wished you luck as you shook the commissioner's hand. "Your in the big leagues now kid."



Your first game, first dunk, first triple double, we watched it all. We bought the shoes, wore the jerseys. We were all witnesses.



When you came to the Garden we cheered for you. You weren't one of us, you weren't from our city, but we cheered for you. Even though you beat us, we cheered. It broke our hearts but we cheered you.



You said you loved our city, you wore our flag, you watched our bombers. You told us you would love to play here and we believed you. It was only a matter of time. You would be our champion, the King of this city. The A -Rods, Eli's and all else would bow to the return of the King. You would have gone down a legend. Your statue would reside in front of the Garden forever and for all to see. You would be 23, OUR 23.



Then it all changed,



Your taking you talents to South Beach?! You betrayed us. Cleveland would have cut is deep, Jersey would have made us jealous, but you chose Miami, the enemy. You said you wanted to win now. Well to clutch what you covet what must you give away?



You gave away our respect. We were ready to hold court for the King, but you turned out to be just a Jester. You lied, you said you loved this city, you said you were the chose one. Well you chose wrong. You choose to play second fiddle because you knew you couldn't get the job done yourself. Magic would never, Larry Legend was appalled. We want you to be our 23, but your not NY material. King James is now the Fresh Prince of South Beach.



Don't feel sorry for us though,



Although you proved you couldn't make it in this town, a new leader has emerged, Standing tall and talented, ready to accept the challenge of restoring our city to the glory days. His passion has made us believe, his dedication has inspired us. He knows it won't be easy, but we're behind him. The city is behind him, the team is behind him.



Just like he came, others will come. Those that know what this city means to the game. Players have emerged that embody the heart of the city, they are driven by the ballers from Rucker to Roy Wilkins, from W. 4th to W. Farms. There is life after Lebron. It starts tonight at MSG.



Yours truly,

NYC Basketball

Letter to a black girl.

Dear Black Girl,

What have we done to you? Where did we go wrong? Is this all my doing? Did I hurt you like this? What did I do to make you think you had to wear fake hair, fake nails to impress me? What did I say to make you think that I didn’t love your dark skin? Why do you wearing that make up on your face? Did I tell you that you weren’t beautiful? You are, you don’t need a mask from MAC to be. Did I tell you that you had to wear the tightest jeans and the lowest cut shirts for me to notice you? I always notice you. Who told you that your most valuable asset was your ass? Who said you had to shake your ass to get attention? What made you think I wanted you to look like a Barbie doll? Barbie is fake, you are so real.

Why are so angry? Did I do this to you? I don’t want you to be a bitch, I don’t want a diva, I want a Queen, that’s what you’ve always been. Why do you argue with each other and put each other down? You are sisters you’re supposed to uplift each other. I’m sorry I hurt you, I know I lied. I know I told you I loved you than I broke your heart. I was young and a fool. I didn’t know it would make you never trust me again. I thought it was cool to cheat on you. I thought it was cool to treat you like a hoe. I didn’t know, I thought you would get over it. I’m sorry those men touched you when you said no. Is that the reason why it’s so hard to touch your heart? You don’t have to be a freak to make me like you. I always liked you, just they way you were. You didn’t have to change to satisfy the world. I just want you to be who you’ve always been.

With Love,

Black Boy

This post was some loosely inspired by "Diary" by Wale feat Marsha Ambrosius

I say loosely because my mind jumps so nothing is ever really inspired by one thing, carry on.

Why Don't You Have A Man? I'll Tell You One Reason Why!

It's been a long time. I shouldn't have left you, without a dope post for your mental. Let me be the first to wish you all a happy turkey day. If you don't eat turkey then....well you should be smacked quite frankly. My apologies for the slight hiatus, I had to get my shit together. I've been observing the foolery that has been transpiring though. Much to discuss we have....

Those that know me know I love to give advice. One because I'm nosey and I want people to tell me their business and Two, it's another opportunity for me to give my opinion. Well last night one of my BBM buddies comes seeking knowledge from the Royal one. She wants to now why she's still single. In fact, most of our conversations comprised of her complaining about some dude that isn't showing interest or how she hates seeing couples because she's jealous.

My advice was typical but excellent nonetheless. I told told her to turn to the Knicks game.

"Why?", was her response

"So we can watch."

" I'm not really a basketball fan."

"So what sports do you watch?"

"Ummm, none. lol"

Aha! I think we have found the problem. It's an issue that single women and cuffed women seem to take different sides on, which is pretty telling if you ask me. The issue isn't basketball, but a unwillingness to interest yourself in in the interests of the person you're interested in. I'll use myself as an example. This week I watched the Bad Girls Club reunion(that bitch Leah is crazy).

Now, let me make this very clear; I HATE THE BAD GIRLS CLUB. I loathe it, I detest it. So why would I sit through the reunion of a show that I can't stand? Simple, because women like the BGC. Since the reunion I have been able to spark countless conversations with the opposite sex by just mentioning that I saw the show. It was a common ground that we could meet at. The formula is as follows:

Women Like X

I like Women

Therefore I like X

Women, single ones more specifically, either don't get this or aren't willing to get with this. Instead of complaining about how much guys love Call of Duty, why don't you pick the damn game up and see what it's about? That way the next time they mention it, you can drop a little nugget of knowledge about the game and spark up a conversation. The same concept is true when dealing with children, if you want to connect with a child, learn about something they like. My mother was able to sit and discuss the Power Rangers with me at length, and we were closer because of it.

No one is asking you to become the next Phil Jackson. Or to log as much Call of Duty time as we do. Just enough to get the lines of communication open long enough for you to switch to some of the sappy sh*t you like to talk about. Is that so hard? Girlfriends do to, maybe that's why you aren't one.

Basketball Jones; 5 reasons you can't miss this NBA season

It feels like Christmas! Another NBA season is upon, arguably one of the most anticipated seasons ever. There's betrayal, drama, revenge, all the things that make you females watch dumb ass shows like bad girls club. This season is just as much about the stories off the court as it is the game on the court. For those who aren't in the know, here are some of the big stories that will be played out over the upcoming NBA season....

1. The Miami Heat; The NBA's super team. This summer Miami hit the jackpot by acquiring the reining MVP of the league, Lebron James and one of the leagues premier big man, Chris Bosh. Bosh and James will be joining Miami's superstar Dwayne Wade. Expectations are through the roof for the heat, its championship or bust. It won't be a cake walk though, the entire NBA is gunning to bring the these guys down. The Heat is on.

2. LA Lakers; The 2 time Defending Champs, lead by the best player on the planet today, Kobe Bryant. The Lakers are looking to do what only legendary teams have done before, 3 peat. One more ring will also give Kobe Bryant a total of 6, the same number is that guy that played in for the Bulls. Can Kobe fight age and injuries and catch Air Jordan?

3. The Boston Celtics; With all the attention on the Heat and the Lakers, the Boston Celtics have been flying under the radar. People seem to have forgotten that the Celtics came within a few minutes of beating the Lakers for the Championship despite not having their entire team. The Big 3( Garnett, Allen, Pierce) plus PG( Rajon Rondo) are healthy now and are playing with a chip on their collective shoulders. They also made a very BIG addition to their team. The men in green are seeing green and are out to get the respect they deserve.

4. Where will Melo Go?; Carmelo Anthony, one of the NBA's top 5 players is on the move. He is in the last year of his contract and has made it clear that he isn't staying in Denver. All the talk is that Melo is on his way to NYC to lead the Knicks back to the promise land, but that's what everyone said about Lebron James this summer.

5. Kevin Durant ; At only 22 years old, Kevin Durant proved this summer at the World Basketball Championship that he is the real deal. Leading team USA to a perfect record and WBC gold. Durant has quickly ascended to elite status in the NBA, amongst the likes of Kobe and Lebron. Will Durant lead his Oklahoma City Thunder deep into the playoffs and challenge the Lakers in the West. Will the scoring leader wins his first MVP award?

Keep your team strong; The 5 people every man needs in his life

Voltron, what a classic. Before I start with today's post I wanted to clear something up for the one or two sociopaths that decided to comment on the last post without reading and fully understanding what was said. I was not in opposition of Spoon abstaining until marriage, I was suggesting that, for multiple reasons, she not let that be known to every males she comes in contact with five minutes after meeting them. What you do with you're body is your prerogative. I don't judge, neither should you. On to the next post...

Contrary to the "born alone, die alone theory," Tha King believes life is a team sport. You can go at it alone, but you're going to lose. Will Smith said that you are the 5 people that you spend the most time with(smart guy), if that's true than I need to get the hell away from my aunt.

When it comes to men, who are expected to have uphold certain moral standards and meet the expectations of countless people, the type of people you keep around you is that much more important. A man needs people that can keep him in check, provide him with perspective, inspire and excite him. If you understand the type of people a man has in his life you will better understand your role in that man's life. I've narrowed it down 5 types of people;

1. The "Old Head"; Commonly known as the father figure, sadly so many men don't have fathers so this role is often filled by an older brother, older friend in the neighborhood. In the worst cases it's filled by a mother. The old head is critical to the growth of a man. He should be one of the first people that the man consults about difficult situations and decision that he is faced with. The old head should be able to give his unbiased, uncensored opinion without any fear of offending the man.

2. The "Young Gun"; The old head gives the knowledge, The young gun receives the knowledge. Again this since the father son relationship is so often not present, a man may take his little brother, nephew, cousin or kid in the neighborhood as his young gun. The key to this relationship is that it has to be mutual consent, you can't be someones old head if they don't view you like that.

3. "Mama"; Or Grandmama, or auntie, or girlfriend who thinks they are the boss. This is the person the man goes to for comfort and security, after a man has made the tough decisions with the help of the old head, he goes to mama for the unconditional love and support. He also goes for that home cooked meal and free laundry service.

4.The Rival; The name speaks for itself. This is the man's antagonist. The person he views as his equal. The rival constantly challenges the man, knowingly or not. The rival pushes the man to demand more of himself. When self motivation fails, the rival, and fear of losing to him(or her) is what keeps the man going.

5.The Muse; This is the person that inspires the man. The muse makes the man want to follow his dream, be a better man, accomplish a goal. Like the rival, the muse often times don't know they are the muse.

Take a look at the men around you and see if you can't identify each of these people in his life. Also take a look at your relationship with that man. Maybe you are one of these people.

Did it all for the nookie

Let me be the last to wish you a happy Columbus day. We owe a lot to Mr. Columbus, the spread of disease, the destruction of multiple cultures. Most of us were just happy to have the damn day off though.

How important is sex in a relationship? Tha King recently met a young lady by the name of.....let's call her Spoon. Spoon and I are both avid sports fans and two of the 20 people that actually watch the WNBA.(Side bar- Did anyone see Diana Taurasi and other athletes posing butt ass naked in ESPN the magazine? If so you should. Fun for guys and girls.)

Rather early into our conversations Spoon revealed that, although not a virgin, she was abstaining from sex until marriage. Naturally I had to question her reason for doing so. Spoon claims that sex is not important to a relationship and that she wants to meet someone interested in her and not her vag.

Tha King applauds the nobility of what she's trying to accomplish, however being the devils advocate that I am. I'd have been remiss not to point out that by taking such a hard stance on premarital sex, she would largely limit the number of bachelors for her to choose from. Why not leave your options open and consider everyone, weeding out the ones only interested in blowing her back out.

Spoon would not budge, she sees sex as merely an form of expressing ones feelings for another and that it can just as easily be expressed in other ways such as "gifts, candle-lit dinners and watching "The Hills" together.(Chuckle) Spoon claims she is satisfied in a relationship with out having sex. "There are other ways to show you care for someone than pounding their vagina for 5 mins." She says.

Needless to say, Spoon and I aren't on the same page. So I leave it up to you good people who had the patience to read this long ass post. Is what is the role of sex in a relationship?

Questionable; 5 questions that I've asked myself this week.

Wake me up when September ends...I love that song. Green Day is in tha King's top 5 bands. That was all completely random but I felt like sharing that. Anyways, the following 5 questions have come from conversations I've had with various people in my life. enjoy;

1. Why don't black men read books? Of course this doesn't apply to all black men, I myself an am exception. For the most part though black men aren't reading. As a whole we stand to gain so much by picking up a damn book every once in a while.

2. Why won't more women take the time to learn about sports? Ladies I can personally guarantee that your man will want to spend lots more time with you if you can compare and contrast the bullpens of the Yankees and the Devil Rays. ( how many of you reading even know what a bullpen is?)

3.Why are there still adults that claim they don't give head? If you're 18 or over and you still claim that you don't give head you should be stoned. Oral sex is the ultimate display of a desire to please your sexual partner. If you don't have that desire then you don't need to be sleeping with the person in the first place.

4.Why are so many black/minority people in nursing school? I understand it's a great profession and you can make a boat load of money, but why not be a Doctor? Why not aim to run show instead of being a step below?

5. Why do women refer to sex with 2 men at once a threesome? For the most part in these situations the 2 men are not touching each other, they're fu*king you. This is called a train sweetheart.

I'm So Wasted.

Ladies and Gentleman, meet Braylon Edwards. Wide Receiver for the New York Jets and quite possibly the dumbest muthafu*ker walking the Earth today. Why you ask? Last week Edwards was arrested and charged with DUI. Police say Edwards was twice the legal limit in NYC. While stupid on it's own, this is especially dumb considering that the NFL provides it's players with a free car service of situations like this, they simply call and a luxury car with a firearm wielding driver takes them where ever they want to go. Add that to the fact that Edwards good friend and ex teammate Donte Stallworth is currently sitting in a jail cell serving time for vehicular homicide after striking a pedestrian while DUI. Edwards was riding in the car that night, all the more reason he should know the consequences of this actions.

Edwards is the latest poster boy for a much bigger problem. Acoholism is getting out of control in this country. Every weekend millions of people hit the bars and clubs and get "wasted". College students, middle age, even teenagers are drinking. The hoodrats just sit and drink at home, which is completely ridiculous to me.

While it's a problem that affects everyone, it seems that the Black community compunds the problem by hopping in their cars and attempting to drive. Tha King himself is guilty of this once or twice in my life. I can recall a time when I got into the car blacked out and woke up in front of my house. Lucky for me the most high decided to give me a pass that night, I could have just as easily not woken up at all that night. The worst thing about drinking and driving is that it puts other people in danger. If you wanna kill yourself go ahead, but there are innocent people walking the streets. Ask Donte Stallworth.

Use your head people, you shouldn't have to drink in order to have a good time. If you do than maybe you're not as cool as you think you are. If you're gonna drink though, take a fu*ckin cab! You just spent 150 dollars at the bar, can't you spend 130 instead and hop in a cab to go home?

Status-Quo

It’s seems that everyone on the planet has Facebook these days. What started out as a fancy way for college kids to copy homework and talk about tests has no become the largest social networking site ever. The creator is filthy rich and is having a movie based on him. Over past year and a half, Facebook has begun reached a new demographic; ignorant ass people.

Look at your timeline, for every positive, thought provoking and clever status update, there are probably 5 utterly f*cking ridiculous updates that make you want to delete the friend that it came from. With hundreds of friends and the potential for millions of people viewing wouldn’t you want your status, the tiny peek into your mind, to represent you in the best way possible?
Well you’re in luck. Tha King has been in this Facebook game for years, it’s made me an animal. There’s rules to this ish, I wrote me a manual. Follow my lead and you’ll avoid all the common status pitfalls.

1. No Relationship drama; No one wants to hear about how happy or unhappy you are in your relationship. Keep your drama in house. Oh, and for the women who like to brag about how good their man is in bed or how he’s the best boyfriend ever, all your friends that just liked your status are trying to sleep with your man. Good job genius.

2. No drunken status; this includes any status made while drunk or hung over. How you have the whereabouts to log onto Facebook and update your status, while you’re “so wasted that you can’t stand up” is a mystery to me.

3. Pure examples of ignorance; I just read a status that said “Can’t wait to get into my bed, clothes my eyes and go to sleep.” C’mon son, now we know who’s not smarter than a fifth grader.
4. Hoodratism Example “dese bum bitches out herre ain’t got shyt on me. I’ma five star dime bitch. Only dime bitches on deck ova here.” Translation; You’re a hood rat.

5. Creepy Hookup status; Well all know a guy that posts status updates such as this; “Sexy ladies hit me up if you ready for a real nigga. OOVOO- MYMEATISBIG, Skype- IEATDABOX” Facebook is not a dating site. Maybe you need to reevaluate why you can’t meet women in person and have to resort to the internet.

6. I hate my job status; you’ve got it all figured out don’t you? You can talk shit about your job and your boss because you use your middle name as your first name and shortened your last name. Your boss will never find you right? Did you stop and think about the BIG ASS PICTURE OF YOURSELF ON THE PAGE!? Or that you friend requested 2 of your co-workers last week? Start looking for a new job now.


Of course there are others, but these are the six important guidelines to avoid being a Facebook douchebag. Good luck (3 people like this)

She got that good hair.

What is good hair? I’m sure everyone knows what hair is, but good hair? The definition changes depending on who you ask. For women it seems that the definition of good hair is the shiny and flowing mane of straight hair. Problem is only about 20% of the world’s female population has this hair naturally. So the rest are left to try and figure out how to obtain this good hair. Black women have the most difficult time trying to recreate this style of hair, because it is almost the exact opposite of the hair they actually possess. So day after day Black women perm and process, chemical this, chemical that. For what? The two most logical reasons would be; to appeal men and to gain some sort of acceptance from women of other races, neither of which make the least bit of sense.

Let tackle the first one, men. Being part of the penis baring population, I believe I speak for the majority when I say. Hair is not on the list of top 5 things that man looks at when checking out a woman. Hell it’s barely in the top ten. We notice it of course, but never in history as a man uttered the phrase; “She’s great, but I could’t date/sleep with/ mess with her because I don’t like her hair.” Truthfully all that we ask is that you keep it nice and presentable. Ladies ask your men, would he trade in your head of flowing fake locks for a set of larger breasts or a fatter ass.

As far as women of other races are concerned, if you’re a black women you’ll never be accepted completely. There will always be something that you lack or have too much of in their eyes. Your hair is right? You’re too fat. Lost 30 LBS? You’re too dark. High Yella? You’re too loud. Accept that you’re not like them and you never will be. It doesn’t make you in less of a woman, it defines you as one. More power to ladies ditching the fake shit and rocking their doo how it was meant to be.

Beating around the Bush

For those that don't know, the person pictured above is Reggie Bush. Don't recognize him? Unfortunately he's gained more mainstream notoriety like this;

For those that don't know, 5 years ago when Kim K was just the big butt white b*tch that hangs with Paris Hilton,Bush was the best college football player in the country at the University of Southern California. USC games turned into theReggie Bush show as he weekly put up gaudy numbers and embarrassed defenders. Bush led the USC Tojans to the national championship game, along the way receiving college football's most prestigious award, the Heisman trophy.

Fast forward 5 years. Bush is coming off a Superbowl win. Kim K is.....what the hell is she anyway? A professional professional athlete fu*ker? All would seem well in Reggie's world when along comes in NCAA(National Collegiate Athletic Association for my estrogen infused readers.) They have been investigating Bush and have come to the conclusion that while he was in college he was receiving gifts from sport agents. This violates NCAA rules for student-athletes, making him ineligible to play.

The NCAA's purpose is to "Govern competition in a fair, safe, equitable and sportsmanlike manner, and to integrate intercollegiate athletics into higher education so that the educational experience of the student-athlete is paramount." That sounds nice, in reality what the NCAA does is exploit student athletes and schools for billions of dollars while at the same time preventing the players from making any money. The NCAA makes truck loads of money showing college football games on TV, through ticket sales, merchandise etc. So why is it that they prevent the student-athletes that are making them so much money from being able to make a few dollars on the side? If the player takes money for an autograph, a picture, a jersey, or anything else he his in violation of the NCAA rules. I could go on, but back to Bush

USC, his school, was fined millions of dollars, lost scholarships and had to erase all the wins and records they set that year. As a result, the have banned Bush from ever returning and wiped out all record of him ever attending. The Heisman trust, the group that awards the Heisman trophy, was set to vote on whether or not they would strip Reggie of his Heisman. Bush saved them the trouble and decided to return the trophy on his own.

More power to him if you ask me. The NCAA is one of the most hypocritical organizations in this country They make billions but don't let the players make a dime on the side? A large amount of college athletes come from impoverished areas and low income households. They view sports as a way out and a means of supporting themselves and their families. So why is it so bad if someone offers a kid a few thousand to sign some autographs or take a some pictures? As far as Bush's school is concerned, stop acting like you didn't conveniently look the other way while all of this was going down. If Bush drove an old Honda one year and next year is driving a Lexus, you might want to look into where he got the money for it from. You are not the victim.

At the end of the day Bush is being made the poster boy for a problem that takes place all over the country. Athletes in dozens of schools are getting gifts and receiving special treatment, to make it seem like Bush was the only one doing this is unfair, he's just the most famous. Although Bush has given back his Heisman, the amazing things he did on the field while at USC cannot be erased. Trophy or no trophy, Reggie Bush is the 2005 Heisman winner.

Of Mosques and Men

Tha King was a confession to make. Since I started this blog I've strayed away from more serious social and political topics. The main reason being that it seems like the sex and relationship related topics are the more popular, but I didn't start this blog to be popular. Going forward Tha King is going to make a concerted effort to incorporate all types of blog posts.

Every time I turn on the damn TV its Mosque this, Mosque that. For those unfamiliar with the situation it is as follows; The owners of a portion of land in downtown Manhattan are interested in building an Islamic cultural center. This portion of land happens to be two blocks away from the Ground Zero site. Needless to say, this has relatives of 9-11 victims and the conservative right wing upset. They claim that its disrespectful to the victims and are protesting the building of the cultural center.(Notice I keep referring to it as a cultural center and not a mosque, there's a difference) Various politicans including President Obama and Rudy Guliani have chimed in with thier two cents since the conflict came about.

Tha King believes this line of reasoning is pure bullshit.

First off I'd like to inform the masses of politicians that have weighed in on the subject that there is a concept in our very own Consitiution called the seperation of church and state. In other word, shut the f*ck up and mind your business. I give President Obama a pass because he is the leader of our country(supposedly) and he is expected to give his opinion on all hot button topics. That being said, he didn't have to champion the Islamic cause either, especially since 40% of the country think he is secertly a muslim anyway. Say your peace and keep it moving brotha.

Now, if the owners or the people in charge of this property(Not sure if its public or private owned) wish to build their Islamic cultural center two blocks from ground zero that is their perrogative and they have every right to. The arguement that it's disrespectful to the Ground Zero site is ridiculous. The attack on 9-11 was by a group of radical madmen who happened to be muslim. In no way is it reflective of the Islamic people as a whole. To those who believe otherwise I pose this question; Would you oppose a Catholic Church being built 2 blocks from a playground because of the preists that were asscused of sexually assulting children?

Although Tha King believes that the owner(s) of this property have every right to build their cultual center, they need to be aware of the reprecussions. The attacks on 9-11, be it fair or unfair, stur up anti-Islamic sentiment. A cultural center 2 blocks from ground zero would be a prime target for vandlism, protest and the like. We live in the real world, these things exist and have to be taken into account. I wouldn't go and build a Boston Red Sox museum across the street from Yankee stadium.

As with everything in the world. A little decency and respect for other's opinions and beliefs would go a long way in resolving this conflict.

Bringing Sexy Back; The 10 Sexiest WNBA players

Remember Love and Basketball? Tha King believes that Sanaa Lathan was at her all time sexiest in this movie. Why you ask? Cause she could ball! The female athlete is one of the sexiest creatures because they appeal to all sides of the male psyche. Who isn't turned on by some intelligent sports convo with a beautiful female?

This is why Tha King has always been a silent admirer of the WNBA. I first got introduced to it by my Grandfather, who was more than tickled by the fact that there were women on television playing ball. Watching them was probably more action than he'd gotten in quite sometime(just got a terrible visual, moving on) I quickly realized that the game of basketball is the same no matter who plays it. What a WNBA game lacks in high flying dunks it makes up for it with excellent teamwork and intensity. These bi*tches can ball, bottom line.

As with every sport, females ballplayers often get a bad rap; They can't really play, they're all lesbians, they all look like this:

Tha King feels it is my duty to inform you that none of the above are true. There are plenty of heterosexual, sexy women in the WNBA that can actually ball. So, just in time for the start of the WNBA playoffs. Tha King has compiled a list of the 10 most smashable WNBA players. Feel free to add to the list if I left someone out or you disagree.

DISCLAIMER; If you haven't figured out by now, Tha King is African American. As such, his tastes in women reflects his ethnicity. In other words, you won't find too many snowbunnies on this list.

10. Kamesha HairstonA little too high yellow for my liking, but a cute face and nice smile nonetheless. She reminds me of an actress or someone but I can't put my finger on who.

9. Diana TaurasiI Always catch a lot of grief for this one. I think she is a cutie. Who doesn't love a girl with freckles? Not to mention the fact that she may be the best female basketball player on the planet. I think that's pretty sexy. She looks like she has a little black in her, if she doesn't Tha King would be more than happy to put some in her.

8.Candice Wiggins She has that cute school girl look, until you get her on the court.She led the nation in scoring her last year at Stanford university, that means shes sexy, can buss your ass on the court AND is smarter than you.

7. Renee Montgomery

Love that smile, she looks like a cute little chipmunk. Oh, and her jumper is mean. Her college team went undefeated en route to the national championship How many dudes can say that?

6. Lauren Jackson

The big Aussie. No matter what your taste you gotta love this girl. If for no other reason but the sexy Australian accent. The WNBA and women's college basketball need to adopt this style uniform. I'm sure it would do wonders for ratings.

5. Cappie Pondexter It's fitting the she plays in New York now. Cappie has the big city swag and the game to match. They call her Lady Kobe, but she looks a hell of alot better than Kobe does in heels and short shorts.

4. Jennifer Lacey

Don't know much about this one, she's adorable though. I'd have a heard time sticking D on her, probably because I'd be thinking about sticking her with the D. I kid I kid


3.Chantelle Anderson

The apparent doubles as a model because her pics are all over the place. Dark skin, nice smile, great body and shes fast. I meant on the court, get your mind out the gutter.



2. Brianna January
She was the inspiration for this list. Tha King was enjoying his court side seats at the Liberty game when I noticed her. She's a feisty defender. I'd like to know what else she's feisty at.

1. Candace Parker

The things I would do to this women. She epitomizes the sexy female athlete. She is the only player, male or female, to win a collegiate championship, an Olympic gold medal and a professional championship in the same calendar year. She is the face of the WNBA and what a beautiful face it is. Did I mention she's only the 2nd player in WNBA history to dunk in game? Yep, she'll throw one down on that ass. That's fine though, Tha King will put it down on her ass any day of the week. My only criticism of her is that she married that ET looking clown Sheldon Williams.

Ballin Like the Lakers, Keep heat like Miami (Fu*k Lebron James)

Tha King has gotten 3 inquires about the blog on 3 consecutive days, a sign that maybe I should put down the Call of Duty for a while and starting writing. Today was a typical morning; wake up, pee, sports center, oatmeal and tea, Facebook. While doing my morning FB stalking I came across the following status;

"If u are still walkin around with a sidekick...let me ask u a question? what loop r u n?(I think that's supposed to be are you in)bc a nicca wanna kno."

Aside from this person writing on full keyboard like they are texting, which pisses me off, this status encapsulates one of the biggest problems in Black society( for the record, when I say "Black society" I mean African Americans, West Indians, Africans, Hispanics and Asian people from the hood. All you mofo's came from a black person, even if you don't want to accept it.) We're constantly judging people by the things that the own. I'm sure other people do, but the problem is that black people do it with dumb shit.

How many times have you heard someone say something like, "If you don’t have true religion jeans your a lame." Or maybe "Your wack if you don't got that new Blackberry." Since when does the type of jeans you have own determine your personal wealth. I can say with confidence that I've seen just as many loser with True Religion jeans and Blackberries as I have without. So we go out and we work overtime, borrow money and do whatever we have to do to get some True religions(200+) and the newest blackberry that you had to pay full price for because you wasted your phone upgrade on the sidekick you needed to be considered cool 2 years ago. So now you've spent damn near 700 bucks on jeans and a phone and guess what? Diddy or Jay-Z or whoever the hell we follow has just announced on Hot 97 that he has the HTC Evo now and if you don't have one you’re not ballin. Great job jackass, all that money and you’re still not ballin.

When the type of phone, sneakers, jeans and car that you have say more about a person than their job, family and education? All of these item to make you appear rich but you go home to a one bedroom apt shared by 4 people in the projects. Way to spend your money wisely. If you think your TR's, your iphone and your benz make you any more than just a nigga with a nice car in White America than you better think twice. They probably think you stole it all. Fool.

Start judging people by what’s in their head, not what's on their ass.

Patience!!

See? I told you I'm trying for consistency. 2 posts in 2 days, Pat me on the back people. Hard to believe Easter is upon us. Congratulations to all those dedicated people who gave up something for lent. Your 40 days are nearly complete. If you cheated, well your going to hell. I kid I kid.

With the warm weather fast approaching, the hordes of single men are going to be on the prowl once again(those that took the winter off). For those that are lucky enough to meet a nice young lady over the summer, or two or three; that's your prerogative, Tha King would like to school you to a mistake that so many guys make in there attempt to make their way into a women's pants. I can guarantee all of the men reading this have made this fatal mistake at least once. What mistake you ask? Your doing it right now....

Lets say you meet a young lady at the (insert location here). You exchange numbers or twitters or whatever the heck people exchange these days, and you get in a few nice conversations. The young lady agrees to go out on a date with you. So you arrive, on time, dressed good, smelling good. You pick up your lady and off you go. The date is great, you two clicked and you had a blast. You pull up in front of her apt and she invites you upstairs.(Your thinking to yourself, "SCORE!" negative) She offers you a drink and you sit on the couch and talk more. The talking leads to a touch. Which turns to a rub, then a kiss. Next think you know your making out. You reach you had around the small of her back and begin to lift up her top......BAM! You get rejected and get the Mutumbo finger wave to boot. This is going to happen with 70% of women.

Your reaction to this cruel rejection is key if your every actually gonna get any from her. You can't make up an excuse to leave two minutes later, you can't delete her number from you phone. You CAN NOT go into cocky mode and shrug it saying "Fine! I didn't want you anyway." What I'm trying to say is persistence and patience begin with a P, just like Pu$$y. If you act like a dick your definitely not getting any. Stay, talk more. Call her the next day, take her out again the next weekend. If you don't hit it on the 2nd date ITS OK.

As guys we let our arrogance get in the way too often. The first rejection doesn't mean you not getting any. It just means she doesn't want to come off as that chick that gives it up the first night(the exception being that last 30 percent, of which 20 will let you hit that night and the final 10% who will let you hit it in the car on the side of the highway on the way from the restaurant.) If she hasn't given it up by the forth date get the hell out of there.

Exposed

Another long overdue post. I'm finding it hard to devote time to sit down a make a quality post with all the other things I have going on. Hopefully once Tha King get some kind of routine back in his life the post will start coming regularly again. Now down to business.

"They say two wrongs don't make a right." One of the oldest cliques in the book. First of all, who is "They" and who made them so damn knowledgeable about wrong and right? Is there ever a time when a wrong is justified by an even greater wrong? Allow me to tell you the story of my young friend Cuba. Cuba is young college student who up until recently was in a committed relationship. For reasons unknown to Tha King, young Cuba came to the conclusion that she was missing something in her relationship and decided to find that missing something in the bed of another man.

All was well and good until Cuba's boyfriend found out about her unsavory activities. Needless to say he was none to pleased. In fact he felt the need to seek revenge on his scandalous significant other. Over the course of their relationship, Cuba's boyfriend had amassed an impressive collection of pictures and videos of young Cuba in some....compromising positions. Mr Cuba decided these were the perfect means with which to exact his revenge. He made a webpage(I'll try and find the link) with all of Cuba's personally information, the details of her infidelity, and the pictures and videos that until recently were for his eyes only. Needless to say Cuba was completely humiliated as her photos spread thought her entire school and out into cyberspace, forever accessible to the public.

This brings up a rather interesting issue. While the male reaction has been firmly supportive of the actions of Cuba's boyfriend, The opposite sex has cried foul. They say that the punishment was cruel and unusual and that if he felt it necessary to retaliate he could have done so in a less drastic way. Tha King believes this is bullshit. First off, the guilty do not get to negotiate their punishment. Your guilty, you should have considered the repercussions beforehand. In this post Jazmine Sullivan, Lorena Bobbit, bust your windows out world, all's fair in love and war. I believe there's a line in that song that says she had to do something to make him hurt, same applies in this situation. What women fail to realize is that infidelity is just as hurt, if not more, to a man. Its a devastating blow to ones ego. At the time the man in question needed to make Cuba feel the way he did at the time, helpless.

So, did the punishment fit the crime? Guys, would you have done the same? Something different? Nothing at all? Ladies, if you discover your significant other is an infidel what is your method of retaliation if at all?

Too Little To Late; why your wining and dining on valentines day may have been a lost cause.

Another snowy, shitty day in the city. Does anyone else see the irony that Dallas Texas was covered in a foot of snow for all star weekend , meanwhile in Canada at the winter Olympic games there's a shortage of snow. Crazy, but I digress, I'm sure everyone had a nice romantic valentines day with their boo. Flowers, chocolates(which didn't arrive until Tuesday. Fuck you proflowers.com) and love, what better way to show you man/woman you care?

For all you once a year don Juan's that think you can show out once a year on the 14th allow me to bring you back to reality. Women are simple creatures with short memories, your whole elaborate Vday plan well be completely forgotten by March 14th. Women need to be reminded on a daily basis that you love and cherish them, much like you constantly want to be reminded that your putting it down in the bedroom(when according to most chicks, your not.) So to all my fellas out there, the flower store is open year round( If you don't know where the flower store is because you've been buying your V-day gifts on the side of the highway service road from the Indian guy then there's no hope for you.) bring your girl some flowers, take her out to a nice restaurant just because. You make think its corny but there are 4 other dudes on the side willing to do all the corny shit you won't do if it means they can get into your shorty's pants.

This is a two-way street ladies. Get your shit together. That lingerie you break out once a year is not cutting it. There are chicks out here that will dress up every night for the D that you take for granted. Be a freak for your man or lose him to a chick that while be his freak.

Love isn't a once a year thing people. Its 24/7, 365. Act right or you'll be spending next valentines day in your PJ's eating ice cream out the container watching The Notebook. You've been warned. KING OUT.

I Hear The People.....

To my new subjects; welcome, you can check some of the old posts to see what we about over here. You might be offended by some of the ideas expressed on this blog, If you are I'd like to let you know that from the bottom of my heart, I couldn't care less. That being said, lets get this show on the road.......
