Ball Don't Lie Release Pushed....
A lot of fans hit me up asking when my long awaited movie is going to be released. The answer is, Yes it will be released but there isn't an exact date set yet. It was suppose to be released in June this year but its been pushed back again because of bigger distribution opportunities. So on the bright side, it will have wider distribution and more people will get to see it. While on the bad side we just have to wait a little longer. For fans that ask if there will be an international release, the answer to that im unsure of. I'm sure that it will be in some countries but im not sure exactly where or when. Usually every movie is available on dvd from Amazon.com though and those can be ordered internationally.

`Transformers': Worst-reviewed $400 million hit? Jun. 29, 2009 2:54 PM ET (AP)
By DAVID GERMAINAfter just five days, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is halfway to $400 million domestically, a box-office milestone only eight other movies have reached. If it climbs that high, the "Transformers" sequel will be by far the worst-reviewed movie ever to make the $400 million club. Critics and mainstream crowds often disagree, but "Revenge of the Fallen" sets a new standard for the gulf between what reviewers and mass audiences like.

Juelz On Jay-Z's actions toward Chris Brown Performing at the BET Awards - "That Was A Sucker Move"
After the BET Awards on Sunday, rumors started that Jay-Z refused to perform if Chris Brown also hit the stage and now rappers are reacting. Skull Gang leader Juelz Santana weighed in on the situation "I take nothin away from Jay-Z," he wrote on his Twitter. "I don't wanna sound like a Hater but his swagger was on Zero yesterday. & i just heard thru the grape vine that Jay-Z said he would not Perform if Chris Brown was gonna perform.... SMH Sucker Move I woulda rather seen Chris Brown come out & do his tribute to [Michael Jackson]. It woulda been the 1st time he Performed since ? I know he woulda killed it."
Juelz went on to further bash Jigga. "ok Tweople. Yall do the Math. MJ just did the show as a Tribute to MJ. so not only does he say he down want chris to perform & do what would of been probably the best MJ tribure, but he coulda at least did H-to tha IZOO cuz it has the MJ beat and Put MJ's name in it."

Im agreeing with Juelz 100 on this one....what do you guys think?? -

Michael's Innocence Proven!!!!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
This was almost as shocking to me as Michael's death. The kid, Evan Chandler, who accused him of molestation voices out the truth! It's a dang shame it took this long. Check the article...

RIP Michael
Yesterday's news was super shocking to the world when word was out that Michael Jackson died of a heart attack at 50 years old. I felt awful about the loss being that he was someone I looked up to in a major way in my youth. I remember trying to dance like MJ with my friends and trying to dress like him lol (I know everyone else in their 20's and 30's remeber that too, lol). I remember listening to his music so much and being so moved by it in all different ways. His music would make you happy, sad, inspired, ect....The man faced so much controversy in his life but yet he was so talented. I feel like he had an amazing career but I also feel like it was incomplete due to all of the drama he never got to go out with a bang. Regardless, his talents will never be forgotten. I hope that he is remembered more in a good light then bad when people reflect on his life....

Ball Don't Lie screening tour.......
Ball Don't Lie will screen in over 15 cities this fall coinciding with my streetball tour games and will be set for an early 2010 release. The game plan for the release of this movie has changed a bunch of times but I'm glad that it will get the exposure it deserves when it does come out. It should hit the theaters for a stint upon its release, then be available on DVD everywhere by early 2010. As soon as I have the dates locked down for the screening tour I will post them to the site so check back for that!

Congrats to the Lakers.....
I know I'm late on this one but you gotta give it up to LA for the big win and downright out playing everyone in the playoffs! Kobe was incredible, LO stepped up, and Dfish hit some HUGE buckets in the series. Congrats to my boy Skip for making it to the finals, hopefully theyll be around down the stretch of the playoffs in years to come.....here are the highlights of game 5.

Unfortunate for the Magic.....
Looks like it's going to be tough for the Magic to get back in this series being down 3 to 1. But I have to say game 4 last night was probably one of the best of the finals!!....I'm not really rooting any way in this series because I'm a Kobe fan and I wouldn't mind seeing him get a ring without Shaq, but at the same time I have to root for my boy Skip who btw had an incredible game 3! After watching game 4 tonight I was confused why Orlando didn't roll with skip in the crunch??? I know that Jameer is a super talented player and Orlando invested a lot of money in him. But shouldn't they roll with the pg who got them all through the playoffs to the finals?? Why didn't Orlando foul at the end of regulation instead of letting Fisher get a 3 off?? Have to give Dfish his props though, he hit some huge shots tonight! Kobe was huge in OT as I would expect him to so props to LA for the win. Those were some of my thoughts after watching tonight but it was super entertaining regardless of the outcome! Look foward to the next game, hopefully Magic can make it interesting....

For the Fans all over the world...
A lot of people ask me where they can get a jersey of mine and I rarely have an answer because they're never for sale anywhere on the internet or in stores domestically. I recently was cleaning out my closet and came across a ton of jerseys I've collected from over the years and wanted to give fans across the world a chance to get them instead of giving them away just locally. So I gave one of my boys all my jerseys and merchandise autographed a bunch of them and he put them up on Ebay. Click here to see one of the bids. Feel free to message him and ask what he has in stock. Pictured here are the items I have TONS of.....

Lake Show up 3-2 on Nuggets, lovin it!
Lake Show up 3-2 on Nuggets, lovin it!
This years playoffs have been crazy! If you've been watching you know what I mean. So many game 7's and unexpected outcomes it's been exciting. Truthfully I don't really care who takes the whole thing because my Blazers are out (I stay loyal to my home team, lol). However, I'm a Kobe fan so I want the lakers in this series. As for the east I am a Lebron fan but I gotta rock with Orlando and support my boy Skip who's been doing his thing this year. I was looking forward to a Kobe vs Lebron showdown in the finals but it doesn't look like that's possible so Orlando and LA it is.....Above are the highlights from last nights game 5 last night if you missed the game.Source: Grayson Boucher

Manny Pacquiao fans 'up in arms'
A lot of Manny Pacquiao fans were 'up in arms' when I bounced the ball off Pacquiao's head during the first BallUp game in LA in February. I want to start by apologizing for offending any of Pacquiao's fans for the move. It wasn't meant as disrespect towards him in any type of way. I have the upmost respect for him as a man and an amazing boxer as well. But REALLY I want to let people know that MANNY WASN'T OFFENDED by the move. He has watched us play in years past and knew what he was getting into before playing against us. At the time I was just trying to entertain the crowd and get people on their feet because it was a little flat at the time to be honest. When I first read the fans reaction to the video I had no idea that they would be so upset about the move. NEVER has bouncing the ball off anyones head in an 'And 1' or Streetball game been an act of disrespect. Guys have been doing that stuff for the longest in streetball/exhibition games. I think that people that had negative comments toward me are boxing fans and not streetball fans so I can understand it. But like I said Manny was not offended and we were cool when we spoke at the event before and after the game. So once again I apologize for the offending anyone who thought negatively of the move.

First Blog
Whatsup Everyone! I want to first start off my blog by thanking everyone for support over the years! It's very humbling to know that you fans are such supporters. It truly means a lot when you guys will hit me up on here with such generous and sincere comments. I also want to thank God for putting me in the position I am today and for giving me the ability to reach out to my fans........From here on out I'm still continuing with streetball being that I'm only 24 and still have a lot of legs left, lol. But I'm also really passionate about acting and look forward to capitalizing in that area as much as possible. On my Blog section of the site, I'll be posting anything and everything I have going on with myself as well as other things in the news that I want to talk about. Mainly basketball related things, but it could be anything. I hope you guys enjoy and continue to show love. Thanks again!
