This shizzle is just too sick to not pass along. Word on the street is that these dudes have been working on this compilation for a year+. This is some quality stuff to get you fired up for the upcoming NBA season. Enjoy:

Captain Jack, Don Nelson, Robert Rowell: The Warriors Are MESSED UP!

The most entertaining NBA story of this October before the NBA tips off on the 27th has been the ridiculous saga of our Golden State Warriors. With Stack Jack's recent actions of trade demands, getting tossed out of a game in 5 minutes, and resigning as Team Captain, things have reached a tipping point for the organization and, more importantly, it's fans. The Warriors Management could only lie to us and spin the truth for so long until it became so ridiculous that national sports media had no choice but to get involved. When a team story gets to the point where every NBA fan knows about it and has the same opinion about it, there becomes no way to lie any further. Maybe Robert Rowell and Don Nelson could have kept getting away with lying to the GSW fans. But they can't get away with lying to the NBA community of Players, Coaches, Management, Media and Fans. Robert Rowell and Don Nelson: You've been caught!

Here are a few articles that need to be read by all Nextians. Today's Adrian Wojnarowski article on the situation is a good place to start: CHECK IT

Also, thanks to Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury. He has been critical of the Warriors and all of his articles and blog posts in the months and years past have been confirmed. Even the Sportsguy is linking to his articles on Twitter which, apparently, have crashed the Mercury website more than once. You must peep the 25 fireable offenses of Robert Rowell: CHECK IT

Can things get any worse as a Warriors fan? Probably. Can't wait for Monta to stop playing and Anthony Randolph to demand a trade before the season's over. I think I'm becoming a Bobcats fan.

Free Coffee at 7-11

Dudes, 7-11 coffee ain't that bad. Especially since it's now free until the end of October. My friend Abdul owns a few 7-11's and he told me to post this on The Nextians since we get so many hits. And while you're picking up your free daily joe please support my man and buy a donut or a cliff bar or another cup of coffee or something.

What does this have to do with the NBA? Well just know that Former Warrior Team Captain Stephen Jackson gets his 40's from 7-11 every day. Word.

Gil Zero In TNT Commercial

Gilbert Arenas was fined $25K today for not speaking to the media since Media Day on 9/28/09. Although he was in an NBA on TNT commercial with Dwight Schrute recently. But I don't think he speaks in this one either.



What the heck is Gil-Zero/Gazo Tha Pranksta doing these days? Has he gone back to his samurai roots and taken a vow of silence? I think that Gil is storing up his focus with great discipline and will soon unleash a tidal wave of playmaking fury all over the court of his opponents. Watchout for Gil!

True Hoop on Kevin Durant

The most influential NBA Blog made a stink about Durantula's adjusted plus/minus numbers on Friday and the match was lit. KD twatted his ass off this weekend in response but seemed to miss the entire point of Abbott's post. I don't fault a young KD for sticking up for himself in a classy/tastefully done manner. True Hoop has then issued a must read follow up post on this situation.

Interesting stuff on many levels. First of all, the analysis by True Hoop is great. Secondly, and probably more importantly, we're getting an unprecedented level of communication between blogs and actual sports stars. Durantula doesn't call out True Hoop directly, but he is talking about Henry Abbott's analysis. Don't you just love the new sports media era we are in? Why the heck couldn't have twitter been around when Gil-Zero was going off?

Bad adjusted plus/minus or not, at least KD will be off the chain this year in fantasy basketball.

Francisco Garcia Exercise Ball Accident

Dude, Francisco Garcia was a true sleeper this year in fantasy basketball. Now it appears as if he is going to be out a significant amount of time. Sucks for Garcia, sucks for the Kings, and sucks for Kings fans everywhere.
