Donald Sterling is well documented for his racist behaviors. To counter his negative image and show how much he love Black kids, he paid for this ad in Sunday LA Times. I wonder how they will define “underprivileged”? Will they ask for W-2s? Will they judge the kids and their guardian on what they’re wearing? Sterling’s team thought ahead and won’t have to deal with those questions since this ad is in a newspaper. On second thought, I don’t think he has a team for this publicity stunt. Who but only Sterling would think putting his face next to Blake Griffin is a great idea. And no one bothered to point out March is no longer Black History Month. Sterling is the greatest.

AKA the guy who handed Blake Griffin the slam dunk trophy. He’s a legit dunk champion, unlike Griffin.

The fall of Detroit Pistons started when Ben Wallace left for cash. Joe Dumars stay failing ever since. Kuester is an idiot for not listening to his players and instead shunned them.

Kendrick Perkins was traded on Thursday along with four other Celtics in three different trades. Celtic fans are understandably upset and panicking about the remainder of the season. Fans watched Perkins as a player fresh out of High School grow to become the top low post defenders in the league and a champion. It’s rough on both sides to say good bye to eight years.

Danny Ainge

“We shed some tears today talking to Perk. It was tough. He’s a good kid.”

Kendrick Perkins

“There was a lot of crying, lot of hugging going on,” said Perkins. “And a lot of it was me.”

And Kevin Garnett showing his vulnerable side

Many forget that before KG and Ray Allen fell onto his lap, Ainge has always been a horrible GM. Celtics fans know who to blame if they don’t reach the Finals.

Someone’s gotta interview Shaq about Nate’s departure. The most incredible duo this league has ever seen didn’t last a season. Ainge robbed us all.

Chris Paul put Timmy D on blast via twitter: Tim Duncan be playing some game called #PlantsvsZombies all the time…anybody played that? How is it?

Duncan keeps his conditioning on point with exercise, healthy diet, and playing a tower defense game. More proof Tim Duncan is the biggest nerd in the NBA.

“You’re getting traded! You’re getting traded! You’re getting traded!” -Oprah

One of the craziest trade deadline just ended. Mike Bibby thought he was going to play in the playoffs, he got sent to Washington and will never know how victory feels again. Baron Davis thought he’d be throwing alley-oops to Blake Griffin, Donald Sterling banished him to the worst team in the league for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon. Houston gave up Shane Battier for a scrub Hasheem Thabeet. Houston’s Aaron Brooks switched places with Phoenix’s Goran Dragic. Blazers gave up their only backup center, two no names, two first round draft picks and cash for Gerald Wallace.

Boston wins for the most random and unnecessary trades. Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson got sent to Oklahoma for Jeff Green, Nenad Krstic and 2012 first round pick. Marquis Daniels got sent to Sacramento for cash and second round pick. Both rookies Semih Erden and Luke Harangody got sent to Cleveland for second round pick. Rumor has it they want to free up space to sign Troy Murphy after he gets bought out by Golden State. Congratulations Boston, you now have no front court depth and no longer pose a threat as a great defensive team. If Murphy becomes a Celtic, that will make three new players who can’t defend. The O’Neals are done, they don’t count. All this because they needed a swingman to backup for Pierce and Danny Ainge expected Perkins to walk when he’s a free agent after refusing to sign an extension. And Jeff Green will most likely be a rental just for this season.

Oklahoma is the clear winner in this year’s trade deadline and became a championship contender over night. They add much needed front court depth with Perkins and Nazr Mohammed. Letting Jeff Green go was great for them because they wouldn’t pay him what he wanted, they’re giving that money to Russell Westbrook. I feel sorry for Seattle fans. They got robbed of a future Western Conference Champions and possible dynasty.

And the Oscars goes to Chris Bosh for best supporting Actor. He was the complete package Thursday night against the Bulls, shooting 1-18 and ended with 7 points thanks to free throws. One can see why Toronto would boo Bosh for leaving. They’re starving for talent like him.

Ahh yes the obligatory hip-hop song for your favorite team using Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow” instrumental. This time it’s brought to you by Judge, up and coming rapper, who’s Amar’e's artist. Making a song about your boss, that’s a new level of ass kissing. You know what it is!

Salt Lake Tribune beat writer Brian Smith reported that former Utah Jazz point guard Deron Williams learned he was traded to New Jersey on SportsCenter while in the training room.

Truth is stranger than fiction. I was joking in my previous post and it was much closer to reality than I thought. Jazz front office didn’t even call Deron or his agent. Cold-blooded. Or Karma depending on who you side with. On one hand, DWill seem to be out of control. He needed an ego check. On the other hand, this is not how you treat your franchise player, the face of your organization for the past six years. All I know is somewhere out there on his farm, Jerry Sloan is smirking.
