Amar’e Stoudemire’s Brother Hazell Died In Car Crash

NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire’s brother, Hazell Stoudemire, tragically died in a car accident on Route 27 in Lake Wales, Florida on Monday morning (February 6). Hazell, who was only 35 years old, was pronounced dead on the scene.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the NBA player’s brother was driving at a “high rate of speed” and was not wearing a seat belt when he collided with the rear of a tractor trailer and smashed his car into the big rig. It’s still unclear if alcohol was a factor in the accident.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Amar’e and his family.

R.I.P. Hazell Stoudemire.

The NBA legend is reportedly engaged to longtime girlfriend and Cuban-born model Yvette Prieto. The couple has been dating for more than three years.

Dave Chappelle Booed in Miami

Comedy Central funnyman, Dave Chappelle, phoned in a recent charity performance in Miami – literally.

According to reports, the former Chappelle Show star who was appearing at a charity event put on by NBA great Alonzo Mourning, seemed more interested in checking his text messages than telling jokes.  CNN reporter Roland S. Martin was in attendance at the event for Mourning’s youth charity and chronicled the entire debacle.

[Chapelle]‘s spent more time going back & forth with one audience member, & pretty much stopped telling jokes … He got texted four times during his show and actually checked them … He’s just staring at the crowd & sighing … He’s been on stage 46 minutes & told one joke.

C’mon Dave!  I know you’re not making any money for this show, but at least pretend like you want to be there!

Apparently, Chappelle was more than a little peeved after a fan decided to heckle him during the show and retaliated by giving the crowd the silent treatment.  What is up with the standup comedian community lately!?  Can’t you guys just get on stage and make us laugh, without making headlines?

Dwight Howard Clowns LeBron James’ Hairline

Dwight Howard, the talented yet underachieving star center of the Orlando Magic, is well known as one of the goofier players in NBA history.

On Wednesday, Dwight decided to poke fun at LeBron James hairline in response to a tweet from his barber.

Dwight had been tweeting planking pictures all day, when he tweeted one of himself planking while getting a trim from his barber, Kevin Tyler.

Tyler tweeted to Dwight, “You better stop before your shapeup looks like Lebrons!”

So what was Dwight’s hilarious and disrespectful tweet response to Tyler about James?

Gilbert Arenas Tries to Can Basketball Wives: Los Angeles

NBA All-Star, Gilbert Arenas, claims that former finace, Laura Govan, is exploiting him and their four children, in order to appear on the VH1 reality show, Basketball Wives: LA.

Wait, someone is trying to manipulate an NBA player for money and fame?  Get out!

Govan says she’s simply using the show to get a new lease on life after breaking up with Arenas and giving birth to their son, Aloni, just three weeks ago.

I just wanted to showcase a new chapter in my life… A fresh start, a fresh outlook on life as a single mom.

According to reports, Arenas has filed a complaint with an LA judge, claiming that the VH1 show has no right to use his name or likeness in any of their programming, without his consent.  Court documents filed state that, “The very presence of defendant Govan and the title of the show is an obvious reference to [Arenas].”  Arenas and his attorneys hope that the court will place an injunction on the series, which would prohibit it from hitting airwaves.

This may be a totally mute point, but isn’t this show called Basketball Wives not Basketball Baby Mamas?

Ron Artest Kept His Name Change a Secret!

LA Laker, Ron Artest, is making another big splash in the public eye, but this time it’s not for his on the court antics… it’s for his regular old, normal, being a wack-job antics.  You know, the kind of antics you have to file paperwork for.

According to TMZ, Artest recently filed a petition in LA Superior Court to legally change his name to: Mr. Metta World Peace.

Is it just me or does, “And it’s Peace for three!”, not really have a ring to it?

In a recent interview with TMZ Live, Artest AKA Peace, confessed that he’s been thinking about changing his name for a while, but kept the idea under his hat until he was sure he had found the perfect pseudonym.  The volatile #15 didn’t even share his secret with his own wife!

Is this name change thing really going to be all that awesome when the NBA is stuck in a lockout next season?  You’re just going to be a regular guy named Metta World Peace and that, my friend, is preeeetty lame.

Tawanna Iverson: “Allen Iverson Was Faithful!”

Former NBA star, Allen Iverson, who is currently playing for Besiktas in Turkey, was a good husband and never cheated, says his estranged wife, Tawanna Iverson, who has just re-filed for divorce after 10 years of marriage.

According to court documents, Tawanna and Allen’s marriage is “irretrievably broken”, but she recently claimed that contrary to the rumors, she has never caught her husband cheating on her with another woman during their relationship. The divorce situation is much simpler, the two just grew apart.

“Cheating in the marriage has never been an issue. My decision to divorce has nothing to do with another woman.” Tawanna explains, “Sometimes people just grow apart and it’s just that simple. Many people want this to be more complicated than that and it’s not.”

Hopefully, their divorce also has nothing to do with the rumors the basketball player is broke and heavily in debt. Iverson and his high school sweetheart tied the knot in August of 2001. They have five children together.

Dallas Maverick’s Star DeShawn Stevenson Arrested – MUG SHOT

Dallas Maverick’s star, DeShawn Stevenson, was arrested in Irving, Texas last night for public intoxication.

#92 was allegedly wandering around an apartment complex, not his apartment complex mind you, when police were called to the scene.  Stevenson could only tell the arresting officers that he was “lost” before (not surprisingly) flunking the field sobriety test.

The officers who arrested the 6’5″ guard, claimed they hauled him down to the station because they, ‘felt he was a danger to himself and others.’

If by “others” they meant, LeBron James, then yes, he was.  Ooooh snap!

Stevenson posted his own $475 bail early this morning.

NBA Star Nate Robinson Arrested For Peeing In Public

Oklahoma City Thunder player Nate Robinson was caught in a very compromising position as he urinated on the sidewalk just outside the Barnes & Noble store in White Plains, New York at around 2 am on Friday (June 9).

The 5-foot-9 former slam dunk champion was promptly taken into custody, booked for a public urination violation charge, and released on $100 bail. Nate was ordered to return to court on June 22. Bad luck! Nate could have easily found a bathroom nearby.

Nate took to his Twitter to apologize to the fans. He wrote, “Hey tweeps…I made a silly mistake last night…I apologize for my actions, it definitely won’t happen again! #WorDaApP.” Yep, Nate learned his lesson.

Denver Nuggets Star Arrested for Illegal Scootering

Denver Nugget’s guard, J.R. Smith was arrested by South Beach Police yesterday for operating a scooter without a valid driver’s license.  Yes, you read that right.  Scootering without a license.

This isn’t the 6’6 Nugget’s first brush with the law; Smith’s been involved in two car accidents with teammates in the last five years.

Maybe that’s why he was flying solo on the scooter?

Officers didn’t arrest Smith, but the 25-year-old signed a “notice to appear” and will be notified of his court date at a later time.

Does anyone else feel like this SBPD traffic stop may have been a misallocation of resources?
