Happy Together

Kobe Bryant and his ride or die trophy wife Vanessa hit up the VMA’s. Just another night on the town, Kobe really seems like he got his little act together. Regardless, this broad is pretty much all about the paper, so her ass won’t be going anywhere any time soon.

USA Basketball Winning the Gold

The US Men’s Olympic Team won the Gold:

Order is restored in international basketball. The United States is back on top, but not by that much anymore. Culminating a three-year mission to end years of embarrassment, the U.S. Olympic team survived a huge challenge from Spain, winning 118-107 Sunday in the gold-medal game. After overwhelming everyone for seven games, the Americans led by only four points with under 2½ minutes to play. Then the U.S. proved it could handle a close game that seemed would never come in Beijing. Their prize: the first U.S. gold medal since the 2000 Olympics.

Glad that they finally got their swagger back. Here are pics of Family man Kobe Bryant spent time celebrating his birthday with his wife and daughters Nyla and Natalia during practice at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.

Shaq Loses His Badge

The fallout from a controversial video showing Shaquille O’Neal mocking former Los Angeles Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant continues. It appears the latest consequence of O’Neal’s verbal tirade will cost him his law enforcement badge

O’Neal is a sort of honorary deputy in Maricopa County, Arizona but today Sheriff Joe Arpaio said O’Neal’s use of a racially derogatory word in a now infamous video will cost him his position. O’Neal will be stripped of his special deputy’s badge.

“I want his two badges back,” Arpaio told The Associated Press Tuesday. “Because if any one of my deputies did something like this, they’re fired. I don’t condone this type of racial conduct.”

“Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I don’t think that either conduct should be out there publicly, even if media wasn’t there,” Arpaio said.

Just having Some Fun Wit A Squirt Gun

Shaq put Kobe Bryant on blast in a recent freestyle:

Shaquille O’Neal took the mic at a NYC club last night, unleashing a freestyle verbal assault directed at his arch-enemy Kobe Bryant — blaming his former teammate for ruining his marriage and imploring him to “Tell me how my ass tastes.”

After spending several verses shredding Kobe apart for losing in the NBA playoffs, Shaq drops the line, “I’m a horse, Kobe ratted me out, that’s why I’m getting divorced.”

The line most likely references a comment Kobe made during his infamous 2003 rape case, when he told Colorado police that he “Should have done what Shaq does … Shaq would pay his women not to say anything.” The two became famously bitter rivals after the incident.

There’s another serving of beef for you today. We wonder what Kobe’s ass has to say to this one.

Update - Shaq takes it back.:

“I was freestyling. That’s all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever. That is what MCs do. They freestyle when called upon. I’m totally cool with Kobe. No issue at all. And by the way, don’t forget, six albums, two platinum, two gold. Anybody who knows me knows I’m a funny freestyler. Check the NBA DVD when I was rapping about Vlade Divac during my first championship run. Please tell everybody don’t make something out of nothing.”

MC Shaq the “funny freestyler”? Whateva. Sounds like a punk move for real.
