Here is the link to Tim Roth's next bid for an Oscar. Love the part at the end where he pimp slaps one of his bro's.

What Happened?
It's understandably been awhile since I last posted. The Celtics broke my heart (hey, if your team was up 13 points in the fourth of a game 7 championship - and lost - you would have to take a breather from sports too). Since the Lakers stole game 7 away, a lot has happened around the NBA.
Let's start with the biggest douche in maybe all of professional sports - LeBron James. Not only did he, "take his talents to South Beach," but he also tore the city of Cleveland's collective heart right out of its chest and stomped on it for good measure. By creating the circus of LeBron mania, he made me like Kobe Bryant more than him (which is hard to do). He disrespected the game, his peer's, and the legends of the past by conducting "The Decision". ESPN also deserves equal blame. Seriously though, can you imagine Larry Bird doing something like this. I can't even see Michael Jordan or Kobe staging something so asinine. In wrestling terms, it was like Hulk Hogan joining the NWO, with D-Wade and Bosh as Razor Ramon and Kevin Nash, only, this is real. One thing's for certain, LeBron has become the ultimate villain in the NBA.
Thankfully the LeBron sweepstakes is over. The Celtics remained contenders next year (and mind you, they're still the Eastern Conference Champs) by signing Jermaine O'Neal to a favorable contract, and re-signing Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Nate Robinson. They also lost defensive whiz Tony Allen. The Knicks continued being the Knicks with their signing of Amare Stoudemire and Ray Felton. Let's see how much Stoudemire likes playing with Felton. At least Knicks fans won't have to see Chris Duhon shoot anymore jumpers.
Like the Knicks, the Bulls were unable to land any of the "Three Amigos", but came away with a top power forward in Carlos Boozer. A very solid signing from a team with a good core, also adding in Boozer's old Jazz teammates in Kyle Korver and Ronnie Brewer. I don't even wanna touch the Cavs with a ten-foot pole - they're toxic right now.
The Hawks, meanwhile, made a terrible decision (even for their standards), not by resigning Joe Johnson, but for resigning Joe Johnson to a six-year $119 million deal. Not only did Johnson disappear in the playoffs almost completely, he has peaked as a player. Since his 25 ppg outburst in 2006-07, his ppg has declined to where he is a 21 ppg scorer - which is fine. His assists have gone down, and he only attempted 3.5 free throws per game last season in 38 minutes of action. In comparison, Paul Pierce averaged 6.1 free throw attempts per game during 34 minutes of action during a season where he focused more on his outside shot. Johnson is a fine player and would have commanded a lot of money from an outside team had the Hawks not signed him. The problem is, they handcuffed themselves and appear to have the same "no defense" core intact.
Out West, Kevin Durant quietly inked a long extension for himself to stay in OKC through the 2015-16 season. Kobe also signed a modest 3-year $90 million extension to stay in LA through the 2013-14 season. The Jazz lost one power forward, but gained another by trading for Minnesota's Al Jefferson. Jefferson should fit right in with point guard extraordinaire Deron Williams. The Warriors also made one of my favorite deals in the offseason by trading for David Lee. Lee on the Warriors is the perfect fit. Expect many 20-20 nights from the lefty power forward. Golden State has also been reported that the team has been sold to new owner Joe Lacob, a Sillicon Valley venture capitalist. He is also a minority owner of the Celtics, and in the case that the NBA approves the deal, will have to get rid of his stake with Boston. Hopefully David Stern allows the deal to go through, and Lacob finally puts a winner in such a good basketball city.
