Bobbito in Africa

ROB ONE — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:11:15 +0000

Check out this post from Bobbito Garcia during his recent trip out to Senegal, West Africa. He was invited by the SEEDS Foundation, to coach clinics as part of their ‘Grow The Game’ program. It’s always great to read about people’s experiences when they travel to remote areas. But it’s even more greater to read articles that end up inspiring us. Check out the post on http://www.bouncemag.com/2010/01/19/from-deep-roots-seeds-and-trees-in-senegal-west-africa/. Notice the photo of Bobbito representin’ BBJ to the fullest all the way down in Africa. Bobbito ended up giving his BBJ lid to one of the coaches out there who works with all these kids on a daily (very well deserved). Yo Bob - thanks for spreading the love! Photos: Brian Benjamin.

Lamar X Trevor X Shannon

ROB ONE — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 05:51:04 +0000

I just got back from the Frank and Son Collectible Show this afternoon and it wasn’t a typical Saturday for all the regulars that usually show up. The place was jam packed and you would think that you were celebrating at a Laker parade with the sea of purple and gold in attendance. The reason for the madness…Lamar Odom, Trevor Ariza, and Shannon Brown were there signing autographs. Even a ghetto bird circled around the area. Peep some of the photos.

That Ain’t Right

ROB ONE — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 04:54:39 +0000

You see what happens when you try to be fundamentally sound on defense??? Don’t try to be a hero and take a charge. There’s only a 50% chance the ref will call it your way. I’d rather not take those odds. You might end up getting nutted on! Like Jarrett Johnson did to this guy, who shall remain nameless.

Kobe or No Kobe

WU — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 06:17:52 +0000

A few weeks back Kobe Bryant appeared on video during the popular game show Deal or No Deal. Kobe offered the contestant, Davon Clark (a huge Kobe & Laker fan), 2 tickets to a Lakers home game, a trip to Hawaii to watch 1 training camp practice and 2 exhibition game in Hawaii, hang out with Kobe after one of the games and an autographed pair of Kobe’s shoe (Nike Zoom Kobe III). All Davon had to do was accept the $388,000 deal. What would you do? Davon did the sensible thing and took the deal. Like he said, “Don’t be greedy!” Great job Davon.
