When Gremlins Stalk Royalty by Deron Butler

In my last post, in which I mentioned troubled and whack wannabe rapper Lil Wayne dissing the Heat, and getting banned from all NBA games and events, it turns out that "Weasel" Wayne seems to be stalking LeBron James around. How is it that someone, who intentionally made it known to the world that how much he hates the Miami Heat, Dwyane Wade, LeBron, Chris Bosh, and go on record about sleeping with his wife, only to go to 99 Jamz and "apologize" to the city for having done said all those things, and showing your rear end to the city that you now live in? Apparently, Wayne has been doubling or tripling his intake of Robitussin, or he may be out of his mind like he's always been but no matter the reason, it is no excuse (not even for an apology) for this disgrace to humanity to shame our city, and act like he's impervious and that he runs the city. But back to the subject, Apparently, Wayne has been courting behind LeBron James, trying to be his best friend, and get in the same circle with rap mogul, and co-owner of the Brooklyn Nets, Jay-Z. Though Wayne's attempts to be LeBron's buddy may be all ambitious and beneficial to him, it would not be for LeBron. According to sources, LeBron wants nothing to do Wayne. Every time Wayne has appeared in front of LeBron to get in his good graces, LeBron simply turns him away. It's good to know that LeBron does not want to be associated with trash and ignorance that Lil Wayne has brought on for many years. Why would he need Wayne, when he could have Jay-Z? And to quote NBA Legend Robert Parish with the comparison to Wayne to Jay-Z would be moving from "an outhouse" to "a penthouse". So why is Wayne still stalking LeBron like a jilted lover? Sooner or later, that stalking will grow into an unhealthy obsession that will spiral out of control, but of course, this is Lil Wayne we're talking about, his mindset is already warped, and would probably do idiotic, if not harmful things, just for the sake of attention. First, he disrespects Bosh and his wife, then goes to 99 Jamz (who shouldn't have let the roach in the building) to air out a worthless apology to the city of Miami, and LeBron, and now he's stalking him? All this over not getting any dap? As my girlfriend would say "Go play in traffic on the Rickenbacker Causeway!" For homework, I want all you fans to reach out to LeBron on his Twitter account @KingJames, and suggest to him that he should have a restraining order on Lil Wayne. It's just that simple, after all Lil Wayne is banned from NBA games, especially our home games. And if you want to listen to Wayne's sorry excuse of an apology, here's the video in its entirety through this link here. I'm Deron Butler, letting you know that there are no place for whack, untalented, wannabe rappers in the city of Miami.

The Heat Are Back And On A Roll by Deron Butler

It's been a long time, and I know I shouldn't have left you but...It's great to be back. The Miami Heat are off and they are more dominant than they have ever been. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and  Chris Bosh are reloaded with added weapons in clutch 3 point shooter, Ray Allen, and All Star Rashard Lewis. Though Miami had some bumps in the road early on with their defense against teams like the New York Knicks and the Memphis Grizzlies,  the Heat rebounded, and managed to take back first place from the Knicks. As the season continues, Miami looks forward to continue their dominance, and well into the season, teams like the New Jersey Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Lakers, Oklahoma City Thunder, and especially the Knicks are looking to remove Miami from their throne as NBA Champions. For homework (and this is very easy), give time to appreciate the Miami Heat, and everything the players have done this season. I'm Deron Butler, telling that the Heat is just not on, it's scorching!

Brace Yourself...The Super Lakers Are Upon Us By Deron Butler

Well...After many months of speculating, analyzing, and making up several theories in our heads, Dwight Howard has finally, and I mean FINALLY come to Tinseltown, as he will join Steve Nash, Pau Gasol, Ron Artest Metta World Peace, Antwan Jamison and Kobe Bryant to form a super team unlike any other in the Los Angeles Lakers. What's that you say, another super team? Yes, Miami isn't the only team with superstar players wreaking havoc upon the NBA. Boston and San Antonio (as old as they may be) are still effective teams with big 3 players. Then there's Oklahoma City with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and Serge Ibaka as well as The New Jersey Brooklyn Nets with their "Core Four" which consists of Joe Johnson, Deron Williams, Gerald Wallace, and Brook Lopez. You may be asking yourself, why am I listing all the names of such super teams within the NBA, when the main focus (aside from the Miami Heat) is the Los Angeles Lakers? Okay, what if I told you that there was another super team that had formed in L.A. No, not the Lob City Clippers, this was before that. Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone, and Gary Payton would join forces in Hollywood to play for the Lakers, instantly forming an all-star team of grand proportions. While the Lakers dominated the west, they reached the Finals in which they were devastatingly shocked by the Detroit Pistons, who had Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Tayshaun Prince, Rip Hamilton, and Chauncey Billups. While it seemed like their could've been more potential for this Super Lakers team to continue, Shaq just couldn't take any more of Kobe and (stop me if you heard this before) took his talents to South Beach and joined the Miami Heat. A year after Shaq joined the Heat, Gary Payton would soon follow in The Big Aristotle's footsteps, resulting in Miami's first NBA Championship. Comparing the Super Lakers team of the 03-04 season to this Super Lakers team, one may find some similarities to Shaq and Dwight Howard (other than the Superman nickname) but this Super Lakers team have all the potential to be just as memorable as Magic Johnson's Showtime Lakers. But, if history repeats itself, with another failed campaign to win it all, then consider some options or just go back to the drawing board. One thing Miami should take into consideration, if any, is that this Lakers team is going to run the Princeton Offense, where either Kobe or Nash (let's just say Nash) brings up the ball and passes it out to either Pau, Kobe, or Dwight. The Lakers have several options as far as scorers go and how they can finish the play by having D.Howard or Pau set a pick for Kobe or have Dwight or Pau cut in the lane and make a layup or finish strong with a dunk. I can already see Miami facing the Lakers in a highly possible NBA Finals series next year. Just think about all the ratings (looking at you David Stern).  For homework (yes, it's back to school time!), I want you all to take the time to put Miami's starting five (Bosh,  Rashard Lewis, LeBron, Wade, and Ray Allen or Chalmers) against the Lakers' starting five (Howard, Gasol, Metta, Kobe, and Nash) and see how they stack up. As an added bonus or extra credit, simulate how these two teams would play against each other in NBA 2K11, NBA 2K12, and NBA2K13. I'm Deron Butler, telling you that it's going to be Miami vs. L.A. Lakers in the 2013 Finals.
