Drake x Weezy x Kobe Photoshoot for VIBE Magazine

Like we reported in an earlier post, Drake was going to be featured on the cover of the December '09 re-launch of VIBE Magazine. Well it seems that the305 has unveiled some images from the photoshoots. Although this isn't an excuse to avoid buying the magazine, the shots are so bad-ass I couldn't resist sharing them with you. If a photshoot of Drake, Weezy and Kobe wasn't dope, we'd have a serious problem - hopefully the kind of problem that Bryant and the Lakers will have hosting LBJ and the Cavs tomorrow. Anyways, enjoy.

Nike x Undefeated Puppet Ts

UNDFTD hooked up with Nike to create two T-shirts with our favourite puppets depicting classic cultural moments in their careers. Instead of explaining the connection, I'll just show you. And if you're really interested, read the interview with the UNDFTD's KB Lee here.

KOBE! - HEDO!

Alright, last night I sat around the home enjoying the Raptors close encounter with Agent Zero, and Kobe Bryant's miraculious - and obviously reaffirming - last second three pointer to trounce D-Wade's Heat. Kobe vs D-Wade is one of those NBA tilts that draws in the fans and both stars took there teams on there back in the fourth quarter, Kobe just had the last possession - even though D-Wade's defense on that last second shot was great, Kobe just Kobe'd him.

I donno how many people out there have seen Spike Lee's documentary on Kobe Bryant, called "Kobe Doin' Work", but its one of the most detailed basketball docs I have ever seen. Spike films pre-game, halftime, and post-game, mic's up Kobe, gets into the Lakers dressing room and has Kobe do voice over work for a regular season tilt against the Spurs. The camera work is just gorgeous, Spike makes Kobe on the court look like Marv in Sin City, and Kobe explains the mental aspects of basketball perfectly and succinctly. Truly eye opening stuff - Stream of Kobe Doin' Work

Anyways to my Raptors, it was nice to see some defense last night boys, gotta carry it over tonight against the Bulls. Also Hedo showed why Colangelo invested significantly in him by doing what he does best - showing up in clutch time.

Some food for thought; Once again Jose Calderon got destroyed on defense - its very difficult for a team to continue to bailout a player who gives away dribble penetration like Calderon is prone too. So Calderon has started playing off guards and last night was a good example of what happens when you do that to highly skilled point guards - Gilbert dropped 34 by just taking open looks off screens (hitting 5 threes). Personally I've wanted Jack to start all season but Calderon's getting paid so much I understand why Triano wants him to get back to how he played two years ago. Calderon wasn't horrible on O last night tho, and he matches better against Derrick Rose, cause Rose isn't going to hit 5 threes in a night, so tonight should be less embarrasing for Jose.

Also Demar Derozan played very good ball last night, attacking at will. But he got a lot less burn in the second half, and no play in the fourth at all. I understand Triano's got a short leash on the young'in but let him play when he is on. I think Demar would have played better D on Gilbert too, in the fourth it would have been nice to see what a Jack, Dero, Hedo, Bosh, Bargs lineup would have looked like (I really wish thats what we'd start with too).

Anyways Chicago is one of those teams Toronto can usually take, so hopefully the Raps can take two on the road this weekend. Good luck boys, I'll be watchin.

Aww yeeeee

Lebron and Kobe puppets are back for the first of what should be many new commercials from Nike

And watch Kobe's ridiculous in-Dwyane Wade's face-game-winning shot from last night here

Give me a break is right

Kobe Bryant, I hate everything about you. You are unreal and not in the cool way. This shot doesn't even make sense.

I Like Puppets

Back in the summer during the NBA playoffs, Nike came out with a series of hilarious commercials that featured Kobe Bryant and Lebron James as puppets. Right after the Lakers won the NBA championship, Nike and Undefeated released a batch of t-shirts celebrating Kobe's fourth ring. Love the tees; still hate Kobe though.



Although in puppet form, Kobe seems a little more interesting than in real life. Here's the "Ring" commercial:
