Weezy F Baby (He strongly suggests you say the baby) shut down in OKC...
So much for a night out with the guys.
All Lil Wayne wanted to do is take in an NBA playoff game with his buddies, but on Thursday night the Oklahoma City Thunder started baller blockin’. “Was going to go to the Thunder game tonight but was denied by the team to be in their arena. Wow. Smh. Go Spurs,” Weezy tweeted just hours before tip-off.
Tunechi is a noted L.A. Lakers fan, but his friend and manager Cortez Bryant is a San Antonio Spurs diehard, so Weezy thought he’d treat his buddy to a game, that was until OKC brass spoiled his plans.
It was Young Money president Mack Maine who tried to score the tickets through a broker, but securing the seats proved to be difficult. “He finally just let me know, they not really tryin’ to sell tickets to him,” Mack Maine told MTV News minutes after the playoff game ended. “They said they’ll give him some tickets on the front row behind, but they’re not really tryin’ to have him sittin’ courtside.”
Then things got even weirder Mack told us. “And then they also sent a message back sayin’ the OKC policy was no special parking and no escort, so he gotta walk in like everybody else,” he explained. “Why would you actually want to cause pandemonium? That’s gonna make it harder for your security.”
Mack explained that he and Weezy were just concerned about their safety and the safety of the fans. It’s hard to imagine that the multiplatinum superstar could just slip in and out of an arena unnoticed. “We’re not no prima donnas, but that’s just common sense, for our safety and the safety of your building,” the Billionaire Minds rapper said. “We were basically just tryin’ to take our brother to the game.”
Chances are Tez wouldn’t have enjoyed himself anyway as his beloved Spurs lost to the Thunder in a blowout 102-82. “Yeah it worked out perfect anyway,” he said.Comment

Re: NBA Off Topic
LOL good. Wish Miami would do the same with Baby's ugly ***. Heat fan my ***.
Wouldn't call the guy an idiot. Yeah he could have named the video better, but that doesn't mean he was putting that ridiculous moment in history on par with things like the Marshall crash.Comment

Re: NBA Off Topic
---------------Anthony Davis’ family wanted him to land with Michael Jordan's Bobcats.
"A lot of disappointment inside my family," said Anthony. "My mom wanted me to go to to Charlotte. I have a lot of good friends in Charlotte. At the same time, it wasn't my call. A lot of guys are disappointed but they have to move on and make the best out of New Orleans."
Davis, who was raised in Chicago, grew up rooting for Jordan and the Bulls.

Re: NBA Off Topic
One random question, when was the last time there was uncertainty about who would be the number 1 pick in the NBA Draft? I'm asking because from what I remember (began watching it since 2008) and since then even before knowing the draft order we knew who was going to be the number one pick.Comment

Re: NBA Off Topic
Kentucky bought a billboard promoting Anthony Davis outside of New Orleans Arena prior to the SEC tournament in March.
The purpose was to sell Davis, and the Wildcats, to New Orleans in preparation for the Final Four at the Superdome next door to the New Orleans Hornets' home.
Little did the University of Kentucky know that its marketing department had done advance work for the hometown NBA franchise.
"If that billboard isn't still up, they should put it back up," Anthony Davis Sr. said about his son.
"I won a national championship in New Orleans, so why not win another one in New Orleans?" said Davis, who was the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four and the consensus National Player of the Year award winner in his only season at Kentucky.

Re: NBA Off Topic
Marc Gasol was terrible until he got to the NBA and even then he required development to become to top-tier center he is today.
Moreover, scouting a European player is easier said than done, the Euroleague rules are a whole lot more different than NBA basketball, heck current Andrei Kerilinko was the MVP! No disrespect to the man, I like him but currently he is a role player in the NBA.
