So a lot of shit went down these past few days.

First, in case you've been living under a boulder, the greatest entertainer of all time died yesterday at 50. Now I'm not going to front like I'm Mike's biggest fan. Honestly, while this news saddens me, it really doesn't affect me the way a lot of people are pretending it affects them. I knew MJ through his music, and through that, he will never die. I just hate how all the television stations, tabloids, even everyday people, are jumping on this and putting out all kinds of tributes or acting like this is the worst news to them, when just last year they were calling him being a child molester. Public opinion is a funny thing, isn't it? Regardless, R.I.P. Michael Jackson. Most def a legend.

Moving on, with the draft and the two big trades yesterday, the NBA is definitely keeping things interesting.
My predictions:
- Stephen Curry will be an All-Star. Next Reggie Miller?
- Lebron + Big Diesel will not win a championship.
In fact, they're going to do worse than they did this year.
- Lakers are definitely not going anywhere next year.
- The Magic will continue to dominate in the Eastern Conference,
but they will not be able to stop..
- the C's! 2010 Champions.



Last, but not least, there's a new Flight Club opening on Prince & Lafayette, around Supreme and where Clientele used to be. Check it out here. I'm disappointed that I'm missing this and Sneakerpimps this weekend, but I'll definitely be in the new FC in August with a bunch of dough to spend.
