‘I believe that this Miami team will be explosive,’ Wayne says in a post on WeezyThanxYou.com. By Mawuse Ziegbe Lil Wayne Photo: Alexander Tamargo/ Getty Images Lil Wayne ‘s yearlong bid at Rikers hasn’t dulled the superstar MC’s love of sports. In a letter to fans posted last week on his website, WeezyThanxYou.com, Wayne revealed that he keeps up with ESPN as part of his daily routine. Now, like millions of basketball fans, LeBron James’ move to the Miami Heat has excited the incarcerated rapper. “Oh LeBron! The recent move by the Miami Heat confirms that we will someday soon have that good ole basketball back,” Wayne wrote in a blog posted Tuesday (July 20) title “The Tricks of the Trade.” With the Heat’s newly acquired superstar talent, Weezy wrote that he expects the team to bring fire to the court. “I believe that this Miami team will be explosive as intended,” Wayne continued. “Anything less than an NBA championship title will be uncivilized.” The MC also described some ways the Florida team might work the court: “Well with [Dwyane] Wade at the 1 and LeBron at the 2 or vice versa even, or Mario Chalmers at the 1, Wade at the 2, and Bron at the 3 … Wow! Not to mention that I didn’t mention [Chris] Bosh, who can live at the 4 or 5. Zone defense will be a must against this team,” Weezy wrote. “That’s 3 players on the court that commands a double team. Just imagine those guys on a fast break, the defender back [pedaling] … Wade can take it to the hole or throw it up and you know Bron. Bron is going to get it … or dish it back to a trailing Chris Bosh who will definitely finish at the rim … again, wow!” The Young Money star also analyzed a potential face-off between the Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers for the NBA championship. “Hey, what if [former Lakers coach and current Heat President] Pat Riley returns to the sidelines and it ends up being the Lakers vs. Heat in the finals? Riley vs. [current Lakers coach Phil] Jackson! Epic! [Pau] Gasol on [Chris] Bosh, Ron-Ron [Artest] on Bron-Bron, and Kobe [Bryant] on Wade … wow!” In addition to following LeBron’s power moves, the rapper has apparently been keeping tabs on the NBA as a whole and examined the strengths and weaknesses of other teams in the league. “Also, beware of the [Chicago] Bulls. [Carlos] Boozer will fit in well because they’re similar to Utah [Jazz] in many ways. A nice guard surrounded by the shooters,” Weezy wrote. “The Bulls led the league in the rebounds last season and I’m sure they will again with Boozer and [Joakim] Noah.” The MC also dished on the potential performance of the New York Knicks and the Orlando Magic. “If they can stay healthy, then expect [Amar’e Stoudemire] and [Anthony] Randolph to be beasts in the paint,” Wayne wrote, adding, “I’m not sure about Orlando in the East this upcoming season. I mean [Chris] Duhon isn’t exactly a good move but it has potential.” The post suggests that in addition to reclaiming his spot in the hip-hop game, the star is also looking forward to a stirring b-ball season. “I can’t wait to see how teams stack up next season when those other big name players hit the market,” Wayne wrote, capping off the post simply with, “Good ole basketball.” Are you glad Wayne is still keeping up with the sports world?
