Melo and The Wire
B More love.
I don’t know how in the world Sam missed this–I’m pretty sure there’s a clause in his SLAM contract that forces him to mention The Wire every 2.5 hours–but we’ll cut him some slack just this once. It hasn’t been the best of times for him lately.
Jordan Brand hosted a special dinner for ‘Melo the other night in Denver to celebrate the M3, and the Baltimore native invited several cast members of The Wire (aka the best show on the television) to the party. Carmelo has never made it a secret how much he loves the gritty HBO drama.
Melo and the cast–I counted Snoop, Omar, Bubbs, Marlo, D’Angelo and Wee-Bey among those who attended–kicked it and posed for pictures. Melo’s mom and wife (LaLa Vasquez) came out to celebrate as well.
Pictures from the event are just below:

Is it just me or does that look like some ATL hawks on the court in the second last picture? Or a half time show either way good to see ‘Melo throwing parties while he should be playing. Just letting Camby get the old time bomb body some points before he snaps something. Not hatin’ i love Melo. Hint Hint Zeke one forward in a team doesn’t hurt.

Someone from Jordan Brand asked if I would mention this on this on the site. You beat me to it. So here it is. Also we’ll have a special Wire-NBA separated at birth later today.
I can’t wait for Strahan and TIki to retire, when people will just start ignoring them. Just like Sehorn.

LaLa has some chalupas. Don’t really remember those on Direct Effect. Wonder if Melo’ payed for em or if I was just oblivious at the time. Just curious. And Mutoni, whaddya think about Nate Dogg’s missed dunk last night. Or traveling violation as the ref called it. That shit was hilarious and then having Zeke point straight to the bench. And the Knicks won!! I’ll be damned. Guess Nate doesn’t think dunk contests (in the middle of games, no less) are bourgeois.

nate is a clown, but i still love him. i was more concerned about one of the cavs’ announcers saying that the fact that francis missed two freebies in a row down the stretch was newsworthy to be on the front page of the newyork times. i hate league pass sometimes…

AP says:
almost didnt recognize Bubbs….Melo couldnt get Snoop a seat closer to the game?

RefNDaHouse says:
Correct term is “Tig-ol-bitties!!!” Melo is definitely going to pay for them (she’s pregnant, right?!)

Yo, Mutoni, I could’nt agree with you more on the League Pass announcers. The ones for the Cavs and Bulls are some of the worst. The Knicks and Nets have pretty good ones though. The Cavs announcer last night was ready to bumrush Balkman for a good hard foul he gave Lebron that prevented him from getting and And 1. It was a textbook example of how to foul a great finisher and the announcer was calling it a cheap shot. I hate the biased home team announcers. Oh, yeah, the ones in Portland are pretty bad too.

The Strahan comments don’t seem that bad to me. Sometimes sportwriters are gossiping suckers who instigate to create stories. Just sometimes.
Nov.30 at 11:37 am
allenp says:
One more thing, that AP story is slanted, and it’s the story everyone is reading. As a journalist, that’s not an objective or fair story, it’s pretty much painting Strahan as a bully.

Sam Rubenstein says:
Francis was shooting 94% from the free throw line I believe before he missed those two. It was a joke, an extremely corny one.
It’s not that Strahan said anything so bad. I’m just sick of him talking. He hasn’t played in 3 weeks. We’re 0-3.

It’s good to see Bubbs out of character because you cant help but to feel sorry for him when watching the show.

Max Airington says:
Whoever does Bubs makeup deserves an Emmy. Whenever I see him in public, I still expect to him to look like, well, Bubs.

What’s really good with Lala’s breastisis. She got implants, didn’t she?? I wonder if Snoop is really like her character in real life. And don’t Marlo look like a young 50 Cent, Michael a young Lloyd Banks and Snoop a young Lil’ Romeo. And i hope they bring back my man Avon next season.

Max Airington says:
I listened to an interview with David Simon on NPR, and he said Snoop is exactly as she is in life. I told you she merc’d a nicca. You could be next if you keep pressing her….

marcel mutoni says:
can’t say im surprised to hear that, max. i loved her reaction after chris killed michael’s perv dad.
Nov.30 at 4:07 pm
Max Airington says:
Was it ever really established if Michael’s dad was a perv or not? I couldnt tell. If not, then Michael is just evil.
Nov.30 at 4:12 pm
Omar says:
Nah, Michael’s dad was a perv. You could tell when Chris asked him if he liked boys and he replied “You do what you have to do in jail to get by” or something like that. And call me a savage, but i’d date Snoop. We could rock each other’s clothes and on top of that, she’d be the bread winner in the relationship. I need a PS3, but can’t afford one right now.
Nov.30 at 4:21 pm
Max Airington says:
Yeah but, couldnt that have just meant that Chris was probably raped in jail? Kobe certainly isn’t giving you guys a PS3, and Snoop does fit your new criteria for women. But she might clown you for having a job. “Here lie a couple of NY boys, who came too far south for they own f*cking good. Where ya Yankee pride at now, f*ckin b*tches?”
Nov.30 at 4:22 pm
marcel mutoni says:
im pretty sure there’s one need she couldn’t fulfill for you, omar.
Nov.30 at 4:28 pm
Omar says:
Man, i bet you them NY boys she clapped up wasn’t from Brooklyn. Sheeeeeee-it! She don’t know what us BK boys are capable of. And i don’t think Chris got raped in jail. Where the hell did that thought come from? We talkin about Michael’s dad who said he had to do what he had to get by in jail. Maybe Chris was abused as a child and that’s why he felt Mikey’s pain.
Nov.30 at 4:40 pm
Omar says:
And really though, what was Melo thinking getting engaged to Lala? She looks HURT! My mama always said, “If you wanna know if a woman is really beautiful, imagine her with a bald head and you’ll get your answer.” Imagine Lala with a baldy.
Nov.30 at 4:41 pm
Max Airington says:
NY’ers kill me, figureatively, acting like they can’t get got out of town. Thorough is thorough, wherever you’re from. Anyway, I thought Chris might have been raped in jail cause like you said that’s what Michael’s father admitted to doing. Chris may be hard in the street, but inside if they want it from you, eventually theyll get it. I think Tyson could get it in jail. But you’re probably right about the perv thing, since it wouldnt make much since otherwise.

If LaLa was bald she’d look like Slick Watts.

Omar says:
Who was the more gangsta right hand man - Webey or Chris? I got my money on Webey.
Nov.30 at 4:49 pm
Max Airington says:
Yeah, when he took those extra murders for another fish sandwich, he went into the Gangsta Hall of Fame-which you need to create by the way….
Nov.30 at 4:51 pm
marcel mutoni says:
you’re nuts. chris all the way. he may be harder than his boss when the smoke clears
Nov.30 at 4:52 pm
Max Airington says:
Youre high as hell.
Nov.30 at 4:53 pm
Max Airington says:
And theres still no excuse for saying that.
Nov.30 at 4:56 pm
Matthew says:
If LaLa was bald, she’d still have those tig o’ bitties.
Nov.30 at 5:27 pm
Omar says:
LOL. Lala’s big o’ titties. That was too funny. Yeah, you right Max, i might have to make a Gangsta Hall of Fame. And yeah, so what Chris is harder than Marlo. Webey was harder than Avon. That’s how it goes. Taking all those cases made him the legendary right hander. Now that’s the epitome of a soldier. Right now Chris is going soft. Lookin at Michael like a little brother and all. When the smoke clears, Chris might just bitch up.
Nov.30 at 5:44 pm
Max Airington says:
I see both you and Mutoni have been smoking, whatever, together. Chris is not harder than Marlo. Marlo made his bones killing state’s witnesses. And remember Donnette? But Omar has seen the whole season. Maybe something else happens….
