• Baltimore Ravens lineback Terrell Suggs plans to have a birthday bash Oct. 24-26

The Baltimore Ravens are second in the AFC North with a 3-3 record, but this weekend they’ll be partying like they’re the undefeated Tennessee Titans. Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs and Team Sizzle Worldwide are throwing “The most luxurious party experience to ever hit Baltimore” and they have a website which means their claim has to be true.

I could kinda understand throwing a three-day party with white tigers if the Ravens had a bye week, but they play the Oakland Raiders on Sunday Oct. 26. Even NBA party hound Kwame Brown thinks Suggs is using bad timing. If the Raiders win on Sunday there’s no doubt in my mind that the party is the reason why.

Former overall number one pick Kwame Brown has had a terrible start to his NBA career. Brown has been traded twice, and this season he’ll suit up for his fourth team in seven years. Kwame’s potential has been a gift and a curse. He finds teams that believe in his game only to eventually disappoint them with his play.

Kwame Brown spoke with reporters via teleconference and said a low key role with the Pistons is exactly what his career needs.

“I think I’m in the best situation ever. I came in as the No. 1 draft pick and now there are no expectations.”

“I’m just happy I can come out and just play hard and play smart.”

Smart and play are two words I never use together when talking about Kwame Brown unless it’s ” that wasn’t a smart play by Kwame”. Gotta give KB props though. The brotha knows how to interview. He’s fooled Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson, and now Joe Dumars. Gregg Popovich will probably be the first person to call Kwame after he flames out in Detroit.

And Detroit.. If you don’t know what you’re getting in Kwame Brown lemme break it down for you. You’re getting a guy that can’t catch simple passes, and that blows gimme layups. The good news is Kwame knows how to party, especially if he’s injured and hanging out at a lesbian bar.

Despite what numerous people believe, Kwame Brown is no dummy. He knows that this basketball thing might not work out for him, and he’s thinking about his future.. At least I think he is. Kwame appears to be associated Brown Productions. Their website isn’t very functional but here’s their welcome statement:

This is the official website of Brown Productions, the premier entertainment group hosting all your hottest night club events in the Los Angeles Metro Area. We specialize in entertaining an elite clientele base which hosts your most talked about atheletes and celebrities. Excellence and innovative concepts is what our company is built on. From the V.I.P. experience, to a special Birthday event, you will feel like a star. Come out and join us for an amazing night!

I’m probably not one to talk but they might wanna check their spelling.. The Brown Productions site leads to the Barri Brown/Brown Productions MySpace page. There’s not a lot going on there, but if you’re wondering why the Los Angeles Lakers dumped Kwame Brown, other than the fact that he was Frank Caliendo/Charles Barkley turrabul, it’s probably because he partied too much.

I got these images from the MySpace page. Let’s follow the dates.

First up, the Brown Productions logo:

Next up, the female review on June 29, 2007.

The party was in Georgia, so who knows if Kwame showed up or not. I do know that he was in Los Angeles in early July of ’07 partying at a lesbian bar.

September 28, 2007

Kwame got a couple of his boys involved for this one.. Notice Brian Cook’s not on the team anymore? Two days later….

I understand guys hate reporting for training camp but two parties? Damn Kwame. Take a break.. For a month.

You starting to notice the trend yet? Good. This next one isn’t officially a Kwame Brown party. Brown Productions threw a party with Lakers point guard Jordan Farmar. Jordan obviously wasn’t paying attention to what happened to Brian Cook.

This is the party that featured the Kwame Brown commercial.

Can you imagine how much Kwame would party if he actually lived up to being the overall number one pick? That’s scary.

Talk about coming out of nowhere. The Los Angeles Lakers were able to acquire Pau Gasol from the Memphis Grizzlies for Kwame Brown’s expiring contract, rookie point guard Javaris Crittenton, and first round draft picks in 2008 and 2010. With a healthy lineup consisting of Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum, and Pau Gasol, the Los Angeles Lakers are a really, really legit Western Conference finals team.

No plans for New Year’s Eve? Well you got something to do now. You’re partying with Kwame Brown. That’s right, you get the chance to drop the ball with the man that’s made a career of dropping the ball..I’ll show up if these two things are guaranteed to happen 1) Kwame promises to bring his lesbian bar buddies and 2) this guy shows up and drops a cake on Kwame. I wonder what the boss Kobe Bryant is gonna say when he finds out the team is doing all of this partying.

5 weeks after reconstructive surgery on his left ankle and 1 week since surgery on his right shoulder, Kwame Brown looks good to go.. To the club. He was spotted at the Here Lounge in West Hollywood last Thursday, enjoying himself to the fullest. While primarily a gay men’s bar, Thursday nights at the Here Lounge is for the ladies.

Here are 2 pieces of good news for Laker fans. Good News#1: Kwame wasn’t bouncing around on the ankle. He was playing the wall and dancing with two ladies at the same time. He wasn’t raisin’ the roof or walkin it out, just gettin’ his freak on. Good News#2: This happened after Kobe’s shopping center video rant. KB24 woulda had another reason to talk about ”fucked up situations”.

I’m a fan of the girls that like to party with girls so I’m not knockin’ the former #1 overall pick for this. I’m sayin though, if you mix Kwame Brown, scoring problems, lesbian bar, Michael Jordan allegedly calling Brown a flaming faggot, and Phil Jackson’s comments together, you get one helluva punchline.

I was watching NBA Shootaround on Friday night while waiting for the Warriors/Jazz game to get started. Stephen A. Smith dropped some interesting information:

I’ve spoke to several people in the league, believe it or not Kobe does have an abundance of friends in this league contrary to popular belief and they all said to me, you know what, he is completely disgusted and you can’t even measure the level of hostility he’s feeling towards the Lakers organization right now.

Go on…..

Listen to this.. Kobe Bryant, ever since he resigned with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to everything that I’ve heard he wanted Baron Davis before he got traded to Golden State. They didn’t get him. He had an opportunity to, they didn’t get him. He wanted Carlos Boozer because Larry Miller, the owner of the Utah Jazz, was on the outs with Carlos Boozer, they wanted to move him, the Lakers didn’t get him. He wanted Ron Artest, they didn’t get him. And then even when Kwaaameee Broooown was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for his best friend on the team at the time, Caron Butler, he didn’t learn about it until after the trade was consumated. Having spoken to Mitch Kupchak, the general manager for the Los Angeles Lakers in fairness to him, couldn’t reach Kobe earlier in the day, but I’m telling you everything that I’ve been hearing, if you think for one second that he is in love with Los Angeles, he loves winning more than he loves Southern California. He almost went to Chicago in a sign and trade, tried to force a sign and trade before he signed. You understand? He has absolutely no problem leaving if the Los Angeles Lakers, specifically owner Jerry Buss doesn’t get his act together. Do not be surprised at all if this stuff continues if Kobe Bryant some time around next year is asking to be traded.

 Now let’s be real.. Kobe’s not leaving the Lakers. Mitch Kupchak won’t let that happen. Not that he couldn’t let it happen, he has turned the Lakers  from contenders to first round whipping boys of the West elite, but he’s not gonna let Kobe get away. This has all the makings of a well timed leak of information from the Kobe camp. Like Stephen A. said, Kobe did talk about going to Chicago, and there were also the Suns and Clippers rumors when Kobe was a free agent. He didn’t leave then and he’s not leaving now.

The heir apparent to the Laker ownership throne, Jim Buss (son of Jerry) was on AM570 in Los Angeles this week and said not so fast on the Kobe trade talk:

Bryant needs to be aware that any trade involving him would require the other team to surrender its best player. For example, trading Bryant to Cleveland would cost the Cavaliers LeBron James. Any trade would markedly weaken Bryant’s new team, giving him no greater guarantee of a championship than he has with the Lakers.

Well.. That seems to take a little steam out of the Kobe trade talks, but KB can opt out of his deal in two years. He was asked about that in this exit interview and had this to say:

I’ve been a Laker fan my whole life. I hate to even think about me going someplace else.”

Notice he didn’t say “I won’t go someplace else”, he said he would hate to think about it. If the Lakers front office sits on their hands this offseason, I’m sure Kobe won’t mind entertaining the idea of bouncing.

I would bet the house that L.A. is gonna go out this summer and make a huge deal. Jerry West is no longer with Memphis so maybe he can do some consulting.. Teach Mitch how to pull off some of those miracle deals. I don’t know if it’ll be K.G., Jermaine O’neal, Jason Kidd, or any other name we’ve heard over the past few years but something is gonna happen. I would try to hold on to Lamar and Luke Walton (free agent), but I would trade anybody, ANYBODY, anybody else on the roster to become an elite team. Yes even Andrew Bynum. The young fella has shown some flashes but by the time he’s fulfiling his potential (if ever) Kobe will have some serious miles on his body. Mitch Kupchak and the Lakers don’t have that kind of time.
