Check out this video of a punk kid passing the time in some European city, which looks it may be in Italy. If he had channeled his energy in the right direction, he might be a pro by now.

Javon Walker did an interview with TheDirty.com about his recent “incident” in Las Vegas.
“I was just back at my room and at about 5:30 in the morning I got a knock at the door. I opened it and 3 guys with guns were there. They cracked me in the head a few times, knocking me unconscious. They then robbed me of everything I had; my watch, money, everything! Somehow they got me to a car and dropped me off in the street. That’s what happened.”
The rumor was that Walker was at the Tryst nightclub and was spraying bottles of Dom Perignon on members of Floyd Mayweather’s table. Then (rumor has it) there was a confrontation, which led to the robbery and assult of Walker by Mayweather’s crew.
Walker says that he was abducted at his hotel and that the Mayweather story is completely false.
The Boston Celtics won their 17th championship in a 131-92 rout of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Danny Ainge deserves a ton of credit for the work he did over the last year. The Celtics had the worst record in the East last season and Ainge orchestrated the biggest turnaround in league history. He essentially turned this group…
Al Jefferson, Delonte West, Ryan Gomes, Wally Szczerbiak, Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair and Theo Ratliff (along with three first round picks)
…into this group…
Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, James Posey, Eddie House, Sam Cassell and P.J. Brown
KG and Ray Ray came over in trades, while the other four guys were inexpensive free agent signings looking for an opportunity to play for a ring. The Celtics’ ownership group deserves credit for being willing to spend the money necessary to put this team together.
But most of all, Doc Rivers and this group of players deserves credit for a terrific playoff run, especially the last two series. There were some scary moments against Atlanta and Cleveland, but once the Celtics hit the Detroit series, things started to change. Somehow, Rivers managed to take this roster and develop the chemistry to win at the highest level. This was a career-defining win for Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. The trio’s performance in Game 6 couldn’t have been better. They combined for 69 points (on 22-43 shooting), 21 rebounds and 16 assists.
But it was Rajon Rondo’s solid play at point guard that made the blowout possible. The youngster posted 21 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, six steals and just one turnover in the win.
Now the question becomes – will they repeat?
You tell me…
I find it funny that the Lakers are spending so much time complaining about the officials after getting away with this play at a crucial moment in Game 5.
“One game at a time.”
It’s a cliché, but it’s true. What else are you going to do when you’re down 3-1 in a best of seven series and on the verge of elimination? As Kobe said in a pre-game interview, it’s like being in the NCAA’s Elite Eight – you have to win three games in a row to win a title. You have to look at it like an opportunity, not a death sentence.
As Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson made clear during the final minutes, the Lakers didn’t play particularly well in Game 5. Their execution was sloppy down the stretch and if not for a no-call on Kobe’s matador defense on Paul Pierce that resulted in a steal and dunk for Bryant, we might all be discussing how the Celtics’ resilient play led to the franchise’s first title in over 20 years.
Boston had a chance to win the game and the series, but a few bad plays by Pierce (5 turnovers) and Kevin Garnett (two missed free throws and a missed tip down the stretch) cost the Celtics the game. As well as Pierce has played in the Finals (save for Game 3), those five turnovers really hurt. As for Garnett, he was in foul trouble for the entire game and was never able to get into a good flow. Still, two free throws and a point blank tip in? He has to knock those down.
So now the series moves back to Boston, and the Lakers have to take the same mentality. They can’t think about a potential Game 7, they have to do whatever they can to win Game 6. There isn’t much pressure on the Lakers; nobody was expecting them to come back from a 3-1 deficit to make it a series, so they might as well play loose and have some fun. If they can somehow eek out a win Tuesday night, then the whole dynamic of the Finals will change.
