I'm Going Home Again (if I was Kanye)

Tommorrow, I venture off to Chicago.

This'll be a first for me and a good look considerin' how much I admire what's going on in the city as far as pop culture right now, and I think that the country's other metropolitan areas should PAY ATTENTION!

Except for the D.m.V...we know what we're doing, yah kno?

So anyway, here are some things I will be looking forward to

- Seeing that statue of Michael Jordan in front of the United Center

[Regardless of the fact that he is the best basketball player of all time, this dude has been immortalized in a mythological type statue, and he's black! go figure lol]

- Spending ridiculous amounts of money in trendy Chi-town boutiques

[NYC and LA hold the specialty fashion down, but Chi-town is right up there with'em I think, and I plan on spazzing]

- I was told there is a district or area in the city that is home to the HIPHOP SUBCULTURE that we have come to know as Cool Kidz, Kidz In the Hall, Kid Sister, modern Kanye West, Lupe and Lupesque artists

[I just noticed alotta those name had "kid" in it, and I say modern Kanye because if you hadn't noticed, Kanye was more Memphis Bleek than Pharell with fashion when he first came out]

- Diving face first into a REAL deep dish pizza [stop being nasty ladies]

Now that's a lot to do in about 2 & 1/2 days, but, I'm Deron damnit....

Let's get it.

I'll be updating frequently during the visit and will offer an AWESOME wrap-up upon my arrival in Tulsa.

"These dude be trippin' cause I'm Jordan they Pippen, mad I'm the Best Ever and they just my assistant."

The Dream Team 08'

So, I know y'all remember the good ole' Dream Team from back in the day a la the Olympic Jordan VII's and MJ, Bird, and Magic playing on the same team amongst other things?



Well, there may be hope for the next generation, to see for themselves what a Dream Team looks like.
So far, here's what the roster looks like....
Lebron James
Kobe Bryant
Dwayne Wade
Carmelo Anthony
Jason Kidd
DERON Williams [you go DERON!]
Carlos Boozer
Tayshaun Prince
Chris Bosh
Dwight Howard
Chris Paul
....and Michael Redd



Now that's the 08' squad...peep the 92' squad
Michael Jordan
Larry Bird
Magic Johnson
Charles Barkley
David Robinson
Patrick Ewing
Karl Malone
Scottie Pippen
Clyde Drexler
John Stockton
Chris Mullin
and top if with Christian Laettner
[some of y'all sitting there going "Who?" but Wizards fans know what's up, and at the time he was the bst college player of the year, equal to Carmelo a la Syracuse so chill]

Now I know that the 08' squad i just smacked by the 92' squad with the first three names, but I think they could do good things, including snatching the Gold with maybe a loss, or two if Kobe goes Game 6 vs. the Celtics on 'em.

But, the impact of the 92' Team wasn't created solely because of the fact that they Hiroshimaed all of their competition [reference to the small japanese town that was wiped off the face of the earth by a U.S. bomb], but more so because of the standard that the U.S. held @ that time in the world.

Bill Clinton was running for president, we had just gotten out of Iraq for the first time after puttin' a foot in Sadam's ass. The New Jack Swing was all the rave in little black neighborhoods, along with high top fades and Mars Blackman commercials. The recession was lifting. Michael Jackson released DANGEROUS! A Different World, the cosby Show, and the Fresh Prince sat atop television sitcom ratings. And McDonald's WAS EVERYWHERE!!! Everything had golden arches on it. And the most awesome game ever created, CROSSFIRE!, was released, or re-released, not sure.

This was an awesome time for Americans, black people especially, we were still educated [STING!] and still had some sort of identity [POW!]. But now, the last thing foreigners wanna see are a buncha bad ass Americans step onto the court with their fancy crossovers and delicious jumpshots, they just wanna throttle us and import they're best players into the NBA, and when the All Star game comes say, "we got more than you do!!!" in a taunting kindergarten voice. So, if this team wins gold, they'll be doing alot more for America's international image than George Bush apologizing for being an idiot.

So i say, go UNCLE SAM's!
Smack Yao Ming in the face and say, "that's how we made it, YAOMEEEEEN!!"
and then throw money in the crowd @ beijing....
and then go to the sweatshops where some of the people in the crowd make their sneakers and kick booty....AWESOME!

**Update**

Earlier I considered putting up my starting 5, and it would've looked something like this:
Lebron @ point to sit on the undersized point guards of the world
Kobe @ the 2 to do his, "Maybe if I go bald they'll think im MJ" thing
Carmelo @ three to Bodymore Murdaland on the 2-3 Zone
Boozer @ 4...yea
and His Dwightness @ the center for some Shaq-like dominance, it's a stretch...i know

but now, I realize my starting five is faulted.
this is my new starting five.
Chris Paul
Chris Paul
Chris Paul
Chris Paul
and Dwight Howard.
He's that good.
He reminds me more of MJ than Kobe ever did, and he has better kicks...
And as the Ghostbuster Parody goes, "KAZAAAAM! KOBeeeeee!"
Lakers suck, St. Patricks day in JUNE bammaz....
