URBAN MESS MAGAZINE @ BROOKLYN NETS GAME Vs. BOSTON CELTICS (10/18/12)

'BASKETBALL IS BACK IN BROOKLYN!'

It's been 55 years since the Dodgers left Brooklyn for sunny Hollywood, LA. So when the Brooklyn Nets decided to make Brooklyn their new home I had to take a trip to the brand new Barclay's Center. I wanted to make sure to catch a game in their first season and I did! This state of the art venue is AWESOME! Plenty of great food, drinks, and easy access from the local train station across the city. I sat in section 219 row 4. So for $20 in the upper section I decided to bring my camera with me here are the results of the game, cool huh?! Yes, it was cool to see 2 historic NBA franchises playing a game in my hometown of Brooklyn, NYC! I was able to catch great pics of NBA allstars like Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo and other did their thang on the court. Man! This is why I love this game and the essence that it brings to a sport fan like me and others as well and I'm glad it's back! #GOBKNETS!

VH1'S BASKET BALL WIVES CONTROVERSEY OF MAIN CAST MEMBERS BEING FIRED, IS IT TRUE OR FALSE?!

" RUMOR HAS IT "

By now we’re sure that many of you Basketball Wives L.A. fans may have read reports that four of the six main cast members have been fired from the show. Last weekend, TMZ made waves when they reported an exclusive news story that everyone except Jackie Christie and Draya Michele would not be returning for season three of the series because they “weren’t allowing all of their reality to be filmed.” The time has come to set the record straight. We can officially tell you all that despite the widespread reports, none of them are true. There have been absolutely no casting decisions made regarding the next season of the show. Some of the ladies have responded to the allegations, with Brooke Bailey tweeting “Not all rumors you hear are true….Don’t go off of what you hear, but what you see instead,” and Laura Govan also responding “P.S. ya girl ain’t never been fired from ANYTHING in life. eff what ya heard!” We agree with Laura and Brooke…don’t believe everything you hear
