Coping With The NBA Lock Out: Ron Artest Does Stand Up, Delonte West Freestyles, Kobe vs. Bow Wow
Posted by Mikey Fresh under videos[12] Comments
(L.A. Times sports reporter Melissa Rohlin catches up with Ron Artest, a.k.a. Metta World Peace, as he kicks off a stand-up comedy tour at the Improv in West Hollywood on Friday July 8, 2011.)
Well, with the NBA lock out still in effect, basketball fans are nervous. Players are already rumored to be seeking positions on foreign teams. High profile players and NBA officials have been trying to iron out details surrounding contracts and player compensation for months but recently failed to come to an agreement. While we still have plenty of time before the NBA season is scheduled to start, the next one starting on time is highly questionable.
But NBA ballers are finding plenty of ways to keep busy, I mean Paul Pierce is hitting the poker tables, sh*t even exiled New Yorker Stephon Marbury is finding ways to stay relevant. I mean, the guy Jay-Z made famous for getting robbed is getting a frickin statue of himself in Coney Island. The end times are near, my friend.
after the jump check out what Boston Celtics Delonte West and Kobe Bryant have been doing in their spare time…
Video produced by Melissa Rohlin and Nathan Olivarez-Giles of the Los Angeles Times.
When he’s not busy running around with a certain player’s mom or toting heavy artillery, Boston Celtics Delonte West is dropping freestyles. Just don’t tell NBA commissioner David Stern. – VIBE
Bow Wow plays Kobe Bryant 1 on 1 loses a 1000$. Kobe donates it to his Campers. Jermaine Dupri also makes an appearance

Really Mikey? “the guy Jay-Z made famous for getting robbed”? That was corny bro.
Marbury was a HS star at Lincoln in Coney Island, starred at Georgia Tech, and averaged 19 points and 8 dimes in a 13 year NBA career.

Yes, its not an unfamiliar line, (“dont confuse me with Marbury”, I believe) but it hardly made Marbury famous.

No shots Michael. It’s not my place to tell you how to blog on Info’s site (if it were I might point out that starting the paragraph with “but” or including the phrase “I mean” twice in a row seems a little like lazy writing. Or that the Marbury point would typically be an Info postscript and not the second supporting example of NBA players keeping busy during the lockout, because, you know, Marbury isn’t in the NBA and isn’t subject the lockout .)

bow wow got manhandled, and Jamario moon was the guy they set kobe up to play one on one he can jump out the sky no doubt about it he gotta get his weight up though, he made kobe look strong lol rapppers wanna be ball players ball players want to be rappers.
on another note this just reinforces my analysis: ball players live check to check, the lockout just gives them more time to waste it
