So Kobe hits for 45 in the Lakers opening night game against the Rockets . . . and they still lose!  Is there any question why Kobe wants out?  And for those that said Kobe was going to play soft unless he got traded, well, we think that has been answered, unless of course going off for 45 is "soft".

Taron, the Second Place winner received $50.00, a Game Over double-drawstring bag filled with T-shirts and a hoodie, and two tickets from Game Over to watch the Knicks battle the 76ers at the Garden.  He also performed outside the Garden with a new Spit.   Check out his video.

But that was just Round One.  Its history.  Now onto Round Two, where the stakes get larger, the Spits get more competitive, and the prizes greater.  Its not too late to enter Game Over's newest creation, Spit Ball.  But there are new requirements for Round Two - 1. You must include at least 4 Hall of Fame players from any sport.  2. You must use the term Game Over or gameovernyc.com in your Spit.  And 3. You must include your hood in your Spit.  Extra - for bonus points include one line in Spanish.  Send in your video of your Spit when you got it down or contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it  

Can you believe it?  The NBA season kicks off tonight with the defending champs San Antonio Spurs (seems like they win every year) hosting the new-look Trailblazers without No. 1 pick Greg Oden (knee injury - out for the year).  The Jazz are at the Warriors and the Rockets play the Lakers, with or without the services of Kobe Bryant.

So, who wears the crown at the end of the season?  Do the Spurs repeat?  Does LeBron take the Cavaliers to the promised land?  Or is it the restyled Celtics with Kevin Garnett?  What about our hometown heroes, the Knicks and Nets?  Knicks are looking good as they get ready to open Friday against The King and his Cavaliers on Friday.  And the Nets take on the Bulls Thursday night.

Finally, its here, the NBA.

The people have spoken , The Spit Ball on line poll tells the world that T Gauge is the man in round one.  T G, who started out in third place just a few weeks ago blasted the competition.  With well over 1100 votes T G ran away from the pack in the last 2 weeks.   We must admit when we received his DVD we were surprised.  His flow was smooth and his delivery showed us, that like a real player he put in the time.

We really like his use of ex-NBA players and the fact he kept his Spit positive with out attacking anyone.

Enjoy the game this week (NY Knicks vs NJ Nets), but remember this is only Round One, you still have a ways to go.  Oh yes and get your new Spit ready for game day outside the Garden

In second place is Taron, Fire!  That's all we can say.  Fire!   This young spitter did his thing.  It's a funny thing about Taron's Spit, when we shot it on location we had no idea it was so tight.  Only when we got back to headquarters and viewed his video did we realize we had a contender.  Taron's melodic flow carries a beat without music a rhythm of it's own.  Just the other day we got several Emails telling us that they felt Taron had skills.  We thank all Emaliers for their comments and encourage all of you to hit us up at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and let us know what you think.  Taron will get to see the NY Knicks take on the 76ers this week with a friend.  We will contact you shortly.  Be ready Wednesday, son.

This brings us to G-Wiz.  Here at Game Over we consider G-Wiz the man!  Ya see he got the whole thing started.  When we started Spit Ball we did not know how many votes to expect any one contender would receive.  G-Wiz blasted out the box with over 100 votes in just a few days.  It was at that point we knew we had something here.  Wiz, without knowing,  raised the level of everyone's game and set this comp into motion.

You got some Game Over Gear coming your way.  We will also be contacting you shortly.  You will also move onto the next round so get out your pen and paper and start on your next creation.

This brings us to J Styles, a.k.a. Lady J, one of 3 ladies in the Spitball Comp but the only one to finish in the top 4.  Who would have thought a female would be reppin' Brooklyn?  Well in Round One that's just what happened and we love it, in fact we salute J Styles, Latrice and Jasman for holding it down for the lady spitters.  J Styles will move onto the next round where the prizes get bigger and better.

This week we will let you know who the others are that will be moving on with the top 4.  The guide lines for Spit Ball are the same as before with just a few new twists.  1. You must include at least 4 Hall of Fame players from any sport.  2. You must use the term Game Over or gameovernyc.com in your Spit.  And 3. You must include your hood in your Spit.  Extra - for bonus points include one line in Spanish.  Send in your Spit when you got it down.

From day to day anything can happen.  One day your on top of the world and the next day . . . well, you fill in the blank.  When we left you on Friday G-Wiz, a.k.a. "Ghetto Wisdom",  was in a battle with T-Gauge for the top spot.  Taron was on the outside looking in, over the weekend the Taron fan base made the push for their man.  Taron is now in a solid second with a little over 24 hours to go until the first round prizes are announced.  Click on the results button and see for yourself.  Yo wiz, you going out like dat?  Now for the fourth spot, message to J Styles, Jasman21, Cam and Latrice, it's time to make a move.  Fourth place is up for grabs and might put in the running for some kind of prize.  Well for the rest of you spitterz, the legendary Doc Ice will have the power to grant immunity from elimination so you may live to spit another day.  See Ya!  Remember get at us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

T Gague -vs- G-Wiz,  J Styles-vs-Jasman 21, Taron in the middle with Cam on the creep-up.  That about sums it up, but it ain't that simple.  As we saw last weekend  anything can happen, things change very quickly around here.  One minute ya down by 2 and in the blink of an eye you get the steal the basket and the foul . . .  GAME OVER!  Now if you think you got what it take to win this whole thing . . .
