After hearing Ron Artest's last comments (see below) on representing his culture, I wanted to puke!  In short, he explains his erratic behavior as just a part of black culture and that's what he represents.  Correction Ron, your nuts!, and that's what you represent.  I can't blame the reporters for sticking a mic in front of Ron Ron and clowns like him because like Forrest said "like a box of candy, you never know what your gonna get".  Well in this case, No candy!  Just nuts!  To all you reporters that claim to be his friend and the friend of other clowns that spew these stupid things, well to barrow a phrase from the "ghetto"  (Since that's what Ron Ron says he represents) "Grab these Nutz!" and try to talk some sense into them.  Let them know how fortunate they are to be in the position they're in and that there are plenty of us back here in the hood, the ghetto, that are trying to move ahead the old fashion way (Whatever the hell that means these days).  Let's be real, if you say or do some of the things these guys do, you would be out of a job for a long time.

My heart goes out to all the coaches and teachers in the inner cities around the country who are teaching the right things.  These nutz represent no one but themselves.  The good work you (coaches and teachers) do is seen around the league and around the world.

To all sports reporters in Houston . . . Sharpen you pencils, with T-Mac, Stevie Franchise, and now Ron Ron, you just won the "Triple Clown" and maybe an NBA championship . . . maybe this is planet "Ron Ron".

Ron Artest's Comments:

Game Over will be entering into discussions with the Black Barbershop Health Outreach Program.  “Having the assistance of the Black Barbershop Health Outreach Program with Hoopin’ to Health would allow for penetration of the Hoopin' to Health events but more importantly, the importance of the medical message we are broadcasting”, says Eric Hicks, President of Game Over. 

Hicks continued, “their goals and ours are the same, to assist the community in education.  Ours (Hoopin' to Health) in the education of prostate cancer, screenings for early detection, and other diseases that afflict the black community, while their main educational goal is of the affliction of cardiovascular disease on African American men and two of its main causes, diabetes and hypertension.  What our community has to understand is that this is not an either/or decision, each of these are potentially life threatening.  With the possibility of having the Black Barbershop Network involved, we will be able to reach more men and hopefully save more lives.”

Game Over this week officially announces its newest program, the Hoopin' To Health Tour.  "It's something that we have been wanting to do as part of our company's mission to be involved with our community" said Eric Hicks, president and founder of Game Over.  "Our goal is to create awareness and screenings for the African-American male community.  Our community, which is afflicted with prostate cancer more so than any other ethnic group is also in the greatest need to get themselves screened.  Hoopin' To Health's number one priority to lower the amount of deaths due to prostate cancer.  The best way to do so is educate younger men and to have all men over 35 get themselves screened as part of their normal health maintenance.  Prostate health is not just a male issue, but a family issue".

"We are pleased to announce today that we have just gained a commitment from Foundationforscreening.org for them to pay for 1,000 prostate screenings" Hicks continued.  "It's tremendous to have the involvement from an organization whose first commitment is for the health of people"

The Hoopin' To Health Tour is a series of events that will begin with a banquet to celebrate the individuals throughout the New York City community that establish and put on the various tournaments throughout the city.  Three separate tournaments for 35-and-over will be held at three different borough locations.  At each event information will be made available for the screenings.

Clark Kellogg has replaced Billy Packer on CBS broadcasts of NCAA basketball, including the Final Four.  34 years late.  What took CBS so long?  The last several years we've been watching the Finals with the sound low and radio on.  Packer was so full of himself he rivals the two talking heads on a local radio station in the afternoons in New York.  And amazingly the were upset with the tremendous selection of Clark Kellogg as his replacement.

Kellogg for years has been one of the most respected voices in collge basketball and most knowledgeable.  Its too bad they are keeping Jim Nance as the play-by-play voice, which will dull down the broadcast.  It was this point by the talking heads of Billy Packer, that he liked to be a contrarian, to argue points, that made him so valuable.  This is why we'll never miss him.

Packer was never so good as when he had a true basketball mind to blunt his nonsense as when Al McGuire was beside him when they were together for NBC.  Oh, and Billy, basketball exists outside of the ACC.  Believe it or not, the current champ is from the Big 12 (Kansas).  There is basktball past the Mississippi.  Don't worry, you'll have time to look it up.  You won't be busy for this season.  Game Over.

Wow What a trip!  This summer Game Over was invited to participate in the European version of  Last Man Standing, the One-on-One basketball tournament that Game Over helped create here in the United States.

European Professional basketball star Darryl Middleton (Queens, NY) made us an offer we could not refuse.

Game Over was asked to lend the NY street flavor to Platja D'Aro Spain, a nice size beach town 90 miles from Barcelona.  D Middleton and Sports4You Inc. felt there were enough quality ballers in the Barcelona area to show us back here in the states how it's done.  The competition started 9 AM June 28th and lasted all day long, concluding with a Slam Dunk contest and the Finals all in front of a standing room only audience.  The early rounds were no different then here in the US, pretenders mix with contenders. By mid afternoon the place was packed and the battles were in full swing.  Can't even continue this story til I give props to the DJ!  It was non-stop Hip-Hop and R&B.  This kid was off the hook, for a place that speaks 99% Spanish all the music was American, from old school to new, this kid had the place jumpin' for 12 straight hours.  We shot hours of video and what you see on this page is only the beginning.  The Final round and the Slam Dunk highlights will be posted soon.  Big props to D Middleton who will go down as one of the greatest ballplayers to hit the European scene.  (Knick's could have used him)  DM rolled out the red carpet and I had the time of my life.  Props also goes to the entire Middleton family who fed me and fed me and fed me.  (You get the picture).  And props to Sports4you, the company who took the lead on this project and made it a huge sucess.

Can't wait til next year.  And next stop Greece!!
