The Melo drama is finally over, and surprise surprise Carmelo Anthony is going to the New York Knicks in a 13-player blockbuster trade. In honor of the newest all-star at the Garden, Knicks fans have come up with a remix of Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow.” While the song has been remade for every sports team including BYU, in the Knicks defense it wouldn’t be out dated if the song would have come out when Melo was originally supposed to be traded to the Knicks!
LA Clippers Blake Griffin won the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest by dunking over a car, but he was not the first to do it! In 1995, Marko Millic dunked over a car to win a Honda del sol at an all-star game in Slovenia. Millic played 44 games in the NBA, but at least he won a car.
Donald Trump is calling out Rihanna for canceling a concert claiming she was too sick but performed at the NBA All-Star game the following day. Rihanna was to be paid $500,000 to perform at the Mar-A-Loga Gala cancer benefit in Palm Beach. On the morning of the event, Rihanna backed out saying she was suffering from bronchitis. In actuality, Rihanna was partying in Southern California promoting her new fragrance and attending NBA All-Star events.
Jennifer Hudson was hired in place of Rihanna, but Trump is not letting the no-show off the hook, “For Rihanna to go to the All-Star game and perform after she told us she was sick, that is just a lack of respect,” Trump told the Palm Beach Post.
Sound like to me Trump wants to tell Rihanna, “You’re Fired!”
In the most highly anticipated NBA Slam Dunk contest, Blake Griffin did not disappoint. Watch the Los Angeles Clippers rookie jump over a car. Griffin is the first rookie All-Star voted by coaches since 1998.
