And the BeyHive stinging that followed (FOR HOURS) was nothing short of legendary. Hit the flip for a look back at quite possibly the greatest BeyHive dragging ever.
NBA Coach Popovich Says What Blacks Have Experienced Is ‘Our National Sin’ As disappointed as we are in the terrible choice of words our nation’s President used Wednesday to commemorate Black History Month we are incredibly proud to see that there are white people eloquent and intelligent enough to address the reality of race in America. Listen: I asked Gregg Popovich what #blackhistorymonth means to him, and once again, he spoke #Spurs #NBA https://t.co/gH9urn2hYU — Jabari Young (@JabariJYoung) February 3, 2017 San Antonio Express reporter Jabari Young spoke with the Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich about what Black History Month means to him and boy do we agree with what he had to say! Via ESPN: “Well, it’s a remembrance, and a bit of a celebration in some ways. It sounds odd because we’re not there yet, but it’s always important to remember what has passed and what is being experienced now by the black population. It’s a celebration of some of the good things that have happened, and a reminder that there’s a lot more work to do. But more than anything, I think if people take the time to think about it, I think it is our national sin. OUR NATIONAL SIN. A country whose material wealth was born out of slave labor — people stolen from their native lands, taken to a strange place, separated from their families, treated less than human. We can’t agree more. Can you. Pop continues by challenging people who feel it’s divisive to even discuss race: It always intrigues me when people come out with, ‘I’m tired of talking about that or do we have to talk about race again?’ And the answer is you’re damned right we do. Because it’s always there, and it’s systemic in the sense that when you talk about opportunity it’s not about ‘Well, if you lace up your shoes and you work hard, then you can have the American dream.’ That’s a bunch of hogwash. Hogwash is a good way to put it. Especially when you have people like Ben Carson and Bill Cosby who seem to believe that everyone can achieve anything despite the challenges put in front of them. Pop knows better. Pop knows all about white privilege and isn’t afraid to talk about it: If you were born white, you automatically have a monstrous advantage educationally, economically, culturally in this society and all the systemic roadblocks that exist, whether it’s in a judicial sense, a neighborhood sense with laws, zoning, education, we have huge problems in that regard that are very complicated, but take leadership, time, and real concern to try to solve. It’s a tough one because people don’t really want to face it. One of the best parts of Pop’s commentary is when he calls out Trump for all his lies and disparaging comments about President Obama and how much his rhetoric is responsible for perpetuating racism in this country: And it’s in our national discourse. We have a president of the United States who spent four or five years disparaging and trying to illegitimatize our president. And we know that was a big fake. But still, [he] felt for some reason it had to be done. I can still remember a paraphrase close to a quote “investigators were sent to Hawaii and you cannot believe what they found.” Well, that was a lie. So if it’s being discussed and perpetrated at that level, you’ve got a national problem. I think that’s enough.” Seriously… He touched nearly every aspect of the conversation about race in this nation that we ALL need to be having on a regular basis. What was your favorite thing about what Popovich said?
Tennessee Titans lineman Quinton Spain Robbed By Random Hookup Careful who you bring home this weekend, ballers! With Superbowl LI coming up in two short days, and all the ballers and women who love them descending on Houston as we print this…a cautionary tale comes from Tennessee Titans lineman Quinton Spain. Spain thought he was going to have a typical night of fun with an attractive young thot he met out at an Orlando nightclub while on an out-of-town visit last week. The two apparently hit it off very well at the night spot, and decided to take things back to Spain’s hotel room. According to NYDN , once there, the woman made Spain a drink. Spain tells Orange County deputies he drank up…and has no recollection of what happened next. What he DOES remember is waking up later on and discovering that two of his gold chains, one worth $60,000 and another worth $13,000, and a $40,000 Rolex watch were all missing from his room . As was the woman, naturally. SMH! Well…we doubt ballers will stop bringing randoms back home for a good time. But maybe they’ll at least put their valuables in a safe or something before they do… Instagram

Rapper Pleads Guilty To Attempted Promoting Prison Contraband; Moved To Upstate Jail After Inmate Tried To Stab Him Rapper Bobby Shmurda admitted he tried to smuggle a shank into jail under a deal that will have him serve 1.3 to four years at the same time as his current sentence for conspiracy and weapons possession. The “Hot N***a” rapper Thursday pled guilty to one count of attempted promoting prison contraband – a nonviolent felony – telling Bronx Supreme Court Judge Marc Whitten that he did indeed try to bring a “sharp metal object” into New York’s Rikers Island jail in 2015 before cops caught him. “Is it true that on that date…that you did, in fact, possess a white latex glove balloon wrapped in tape with a sharp metal object?” Judge Whitten asked. “Attempted, yes sir,” Shmurda responded. The plea was part of a deal to make most of the charges from the incident go away. Prosecutors said Shmurda’s gal pal, Kimberly Rousseau, passed him a “sharpened metal object” during a jail visit to Rikers Island last year. They then said he lied about the incident to the Grand Jury. Rousseau has since pled guilty to promoting prison contraband. Shmurda could’ve gotten seven years just for the perjury charge had the case gone to trial. Under the deal’s terms, Shmurda can’t appeal the sentence, and he’ll be barred from voting or serving on a jury once he gets out. The 21-year-old has been locked up since late 2014 on charges of criminal possession of a weapon and conspiracy. In that case, prosecutors alleged he was the leader of the GS9 street gang, which terrorized Brooklyn with drug sales and shootings. He has to serve at least six years and will be eligible for parole in 2021.
