Kobe got his 5th ring last night as LA beat Boston 83-79 in Game 7 of the NBA finals last night. Bryant didn’t play efficiently but he got it done when it mattered and scrapped to put up 23 points and grab 15 rebounds. That along with Pau Gasol’s 19 points and 18 boards plus Ron Artest’s 20 points (also QUEENSBRIDGE and Ron Ron’s psychiatrist) led the 2010 Lakers to avenge the ’08 Finals loss to the Celtics.

Now the ever present Kobe v. Jordan debate will heighten. Has Kobe caught Michael? Or only closed the gap? What do you think? Kobe or MJ?

Kobe and the Lake Show answered in a huge way last nite with an 89-67 win over the C’s. Kobe did pretty much everything and the stat line showed it…26 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 steals. Unless you’re a big Celtics fan ur probly pretty happy with all that since now we get what everybody wants…Game 7 ! Check it out Thursday night on ABC.

But the fun didn’t stop there. Nate and Big Baby sat down for the post game press conference and covered the drool, the jump, the extra playing time, and Shrek and Donkey. You gotta watch this clip, just click Big Baby & Nate Interview

Just a lil taste of what Akoo is droppin’. There is much much more in stores now and comin’ very soon! So be on watch for Akoo bringin’ the heat this summer!!

City Gear izz startin’ summer off right w/ smokin’ deals for out biggest customers by havin’ a HUGE VIP event this Saturday May 22! Listen for the City Gear radio spots to catch what’s on sale in stores, plus more secret specials Saturday that you gotta go to the store to find out about!

These are the World Cup polos from LRG. They hit stores this week and are flyin’. You better make your move if you want to get one of these…polos $46.99 & shorts $59.99.

That loss leads to 2 big questions:

1) Who wins the NBA Championship in what was supposed to be Lebron’s year?

2) Does Cleveland, one of the most tortured sports cities in America lose “The Chosen One” as well?
I don’t know if Lebron will ever win a Championship. I don’t know that he won’t. This offseason may not mean much, but it could alter the balance of power in the NBA for the next 10 years. That’s what will keep people tuned in to what’s going on. Nobody wants to be the last to know.

If you wanna know more about Lebron and his upcoming choice and what it means, here is a great article by ESPN’s Bill Simmons… http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/100514&sportCat=nba

It’s not too late to get your tix to the Drake Concert, Sunday May 23 at the Cannon Center in downtown Memphis. Tickets are selling for $45, $55, and $65 on Ticketmaster.

Be there to help Yo Gotti celebrate! Get ur passes from City Gear & a fresh fit worthy of tha red carpet. You can purchase V.I.P. passes at tha City Gear in Southland Mall, Raleigh, American Way & Winchester.

Another one of Ken Griffey Jr’s signature models is getting retro love this year, the Air Griffey Max GD II definitely has a faithful fan base. Seen above is a new “Cool Grey” colorway of the Air Griffey Max GD II. This colorway will arrive at tha GEAR in May.

The ATL Hawks finally put away the Bucks in 7 games in Rd 1 and will tip off against the well rested Magic on Tuesday.

The Spurs and Suns will renew their testy playoff rivalry on the West side of things.

In 2nd Rd action already Kobe and the Lakers are up 1-0 on the Jazz.

And the Lebron and the Cavs have a 1 game lead on the Celtics.

And guess where you can find gear like what the King is rockin’ in this pic…yup, tha GEAR!

Dan Williams, East High, University of Tennesse- Big Dan was taken with the 26th pick of the 1st round by the Arizona Cardinals.

Greg Hardy, Briarcrest Christian, Ole Miss- Greg was taken with the 6th pick of the 6th round by the Carolina Panthers where he will join former University of Memphis standout Deangelo Williams.

Duke Calhoun, Raleigh-Egypt- signed with the New York Giants.

Carlos Singleton, Haywood- signed with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Curtis Steele, Centennial, Franklin, TN- signed with the Baltimore Ravens.

Kellen Heard, Wharton, Wharton, TX- signed with the Oakland Raiders.

DajLeon Farr, North Shore, Houston, TX- signed with the San Diego Chargers.

Cassius Vaughn, East, Ole Miss- signed with the Denver Broncos.

Morgan Cox, ECS, University of Tennessee- signed with the Baltimore Ravens.

Jeff Cottam, Germantown, University of Tennessee- signed with Cincinatti Bengals.

Here is a quick NFL draft recap for teams in your area…

Atlanta Falcons

Rd 1 Pick 19 (19) Sean Weatherspoon LB Missouri- Weatherspoon is a tackling machine and will be a productive Weakside Linebacker for the Falcons for years to come.

Rd 3 Pick 19 (83) Corey Peters DT 6’3 300 Kentucky

Rd 3 Pick 34 (98) Mike Johnson OG 6’5 312 Alabama

Rd 3 Pick 19 (83) Corey Peters DT 6’3 300 Kentucky

Rd 3 Pick 34 (98) Mike Johnson OG 6’5 312 Alabama

Rd 4 Pick 19 (117) Joe Hawley OG 6’3 297 UNLV

Rd 5 Pick 4 (135) Dominique Franks 5’11 194 Oklahoma

Rd 5 Pick 34 (165) Kerry Meier WR 6’2 224 Kansas

Rd 6 Pick 2 (171) Shann Schillinger S 6′ 199 Montana

New Orleans Saints

Rd 1 Pick 32 (32) Patrick Robinson CB 5’11 190 Florida State- Robinson lets the Saints move Malcolm Jenkins, their 1st rd pick last year, move to Safety where he should be. This really helps out a thin defensive secondary for the World Champs.

Rd 2 Pick 32 (64) Charles Brown ) OT 6’5 303 Southern Cal

Rd 3 Pick 31 (95) Jimmy Graham TE 6’6 260 Miami

Rd 4 Pick 25 (123) Al Woods DT 6’4 309 LSU

Rd 5 Pick 27 (158) Matt Tennant C 6’5 300 Boston College

Rd 7 Pick 32 (239) Sean Canfield QB 6’4 223 Oregon State

St. Louis Rams

Rd 1 Pick 1 (1) Sam Bradford QB 5’4 236 Oklahoma- The Rams needed a face of the franchise and got it in Bradford. He has been projected as close to a can’t miss as there is in the NFL Draft. Think Eli Manning with quicker decision making and more mobile.

Rd 2 Pick 1 (33) Rodger Saffold OT 6’3 316 Indiana

Rd 3 Pick 1 (65) Jerome Murphy CB 6′ 196 South Florida

Rd 4 Pick 1 (99) Mardy Gilyard WR 6′ 187 Cincinnati

Rd 5 Pick 1 (132) Michael Hoomanawanui TE 6’4 264 Illinois

Rd 5 Pick 18 (149) Hall Davis DE 6’4 271 Louisiana-Lafayette

Rd 6 Pick 1 (170) Fendi Onobun TE 6’6 252 Arizona

Rd 6 Pick 20 (189) Eugene Sims DE 6’6 235 West Texas A&M

Rd 7 Pick 4 (211) Marquis Johnson DB 5’11 192 Alabama

Rd 7 Pick 19 (226) George Selvie DE 6’3 252 South Florida

Rd 7 Pick 47 (254) Josh Hull LB 6’3 237 Penn State

Tennessee Titans

Rd 1 Pick 16 (16) Derrick Morgan DE 6’3 266 Georgia Tech- The Titans lost both of their starting DE’s, and needed a pass rusher badly. Morgan appears to be the most NFL ready of the pass rushing DE’s in this draft.

Rd 3 Pick 13 (77) Damian Williams WR 6’1 197 Southern Cal

Rd 3 Pick 33 (97) Rennie Curran LB 5’11 235 Georgia

Rd 4 Pick 6 (104) Alterraun Verner CB 5’10 189 UCLA

Rd 5 Pick 17 (148) Robert Johnson DB 6’2 200 Utah

Rd 6 Pick 7 (176) Rusty Smith 6’5 230 Florida Atlantic

Rd 6 Pick 38 (207) Myron Rolle SS 6’2 215 Florida State

Rd 7 Pick 15 (222) Marc Mariani WR 6’0 185 Montana

Rd 7 Pick 34 (241) David Howard DT 6’3 298 Brown

Tina Knowles and daughters Beyoncé and Solange have always drawn on the wonderful detail and techniques passed on by Tina’s mother, Agnés Deréon.

With Deréon, they’ve developed a line reflective not only of her Creole influences, but also her daring approach and bold ideas. Beyoncé and Solange have always brought a fresh eye and playful attitude to fashion as they’ve developed their own individual styles. They are the quintessential Deréon girls.
