Raptors Demar Derozan Catches Alley Oop from Rapper The Game

There’s always been an overlap with sports and entertainment where, entertainers love to envision themselves as athletes and athletes dreaming of seeing themselves on the big screen.

Well in a summer league in Los Angeles the two worlds collided for a pretty exciting play. Toronto Raptors guard Demar Derozan and rapper The Game participated in a Drew League summer league game. Not often do you get to see a rapper throw a nice lob pass to an NBA player. Check out the video below and see for yourself.

For those wondering, rapper The Game actually was a decent basketball player in high school before injuring his knee.

Deron Williams Tweets Who Adrian Wojnarowksis’ Source Is

With Twitter you can be called out on anything you say, which makes for very entertaining dialogue as well as potential disaster. Reporters now have to answer to those they report on and athletes now have a better way to control their image and message.

Adrian Wojnarowski recently wrote a piece that a league source eluded to Deron Williams not staying with the Brooklyn Nets in the event they were to get the #1 pick in the NBA Draft Lottery and that it would still take Dwight Howard to keep him.

Well word got around to Deron and he took to Twitter to voice his opinion on the matter, throwing out random thoughts on who could’ve been the source that talked to Wojnarowski.

Now what makes this interesting is, even if a league source did tell Wojnarowski some inside information, there’s no way for him to prove it, as a journalist he can’t reveal his source. So all he has to rely on is his reputation for being an objective writer.

In the end, we will find out who turned out to be in about a year when Deron has to make the decision on to stay with the Nets or to move on. In the meantime check out the funny tweets from Deron as he and his followers speculate on who Wojnarowskis’ source is.

 

Billionaire Boone Pickens Tells Drake He’s Wrong

In what he thought was just another innocuous tweet, Drake threw out into the atmosphere that the first million was the hardest to acquire.

Well as a person who has no millions, who would I be to disagree with Drake right? However there are plenty of billionaires who would like to think differently on said mission.

Boone Pickens known billionaire tweeted back at Drake that the first billion is a whole lot harder.

No lie, this really happened, see below…

Boone Pickens tweets back at Drake

Not often you can see someone get styled on for such a throw away statement. What makes this so funny is who would’ve picked Boone Pickens as the one to hit Drake with such a hard right to the jaw? If he’s going to tweet stuff like this, then I’m going to have to hit that follow button on Mr Pickens and you should do the same.

Packers Employee Sells Her Super Bowl Ring

Players play their entire career for primarily two things, money to take care of their family, and to win a championship. When a team wins a championship they’ll usually give their employees a bonus, even better they’ll give them a championship ring too.

Well apparently one Green Bay Packer employee would’ve opted for the money, as team Employee Sarah Pace sold her Super Bowl XLV ring to a pawn shop in Grand Chute, Wisconsin according to ProFootballTalk.com. It was purchased by 71 year old Packer fan Dennis Brucks. As for how he feels about now having an authentic Super Bowl ring he had this to say;

“When you want something relating to the Packers, how can you get any better than this?”

Must be pretty cool to have that type of memorabilia, and couple that with witnessing the Ice Bowl in 1967 live he’s just about done everything there is for a Packer fan to do.

However, I know this has to make some all time greats that never won a ring salty that Pace would sell off their piece of history when they spent their entire career chasing the ultimate goal. Hopefully Pace isn’t going through grave financial troubles and that’s why she sold it. Perhaps she just isn’t a football and just didn’t see that value in keeping it.
