New York Vinnie is now officially in his second month heading up Le Basketbawl! I got to tell you in a way New York Vinnie is shocked that he has not been kicked out the door yet! There have been lots of people who have been screaming for my scalp! But so far New York Vinnie is still standing and hanging tough! I told you the day that New York Vinnie took over here that there would be days that the people would be out to get me. Because unfortunately most people “Can’t Handle The Truth!” So subsequently some people can not handle New York Vinnie! But you know what the best thing is? They keep coming back!
New York Vinnie can not give a rat’s patootie if you like me or not! It could not Frickin matter to me less! But despite yourself you do keep reading what I have to say! New York Vinnie is like a Frickin Disease he infects your mind! Now I am not out here looking to tick people off just like the Late Great Howard Cosell I am here to “Tell You Like It Is!”
We have received some very negative e-mails recently and we print them all. New York Vinnie responds to each critique. But the funniest thing is nobody ever responds back again! That tells New York Vinnie one of two things. Either I have convinced you my side is right and your side is wrong or what New York Vinnie truly believes that I am dealing with a bunch of Frickin sissy-boys and wussies! New York Vinnie will take on all comers the only problem is nobody ever is willing to take Vinnie on!
It just amazes New York Vinnie how many Frickin fake e-mail addresses he receives from the Haters and the Critics! It just goes to show you how much they fear New York Vinnie! What are you afraid Vinnie is going to find out your Frickin street address and come over and kick the spit out of you? Nah not anymore New York Vinnie’s wild and crazy days have long since passed!
New York Vinnie loves to engage in a debate to make you Frickin think! He has no problems with people who disagree even though chances are most likely I am right and you are wrong! But debate has to be a two-sided contest! And so far New York Vinnie has not found anybody with enough nuts to take Vinnie on! So to all you haters and critics keep the Frickin hate pouring right on in! At least that way New York Vinnie knows you are out there! You know you are hooked you may leave for a day or a week but You Will Be Back!

New York Vinnie likes to think of himself as a flexible kind of a guy. In a lot of ways I am a traditionalist but within reason I am willing to try new things! You know you have to Frickin evolve right? Otherwise we would still be using Frickin Sun-Dials and riding around in a horse driven chariot! New York Vinnie understands that is is no longer 1979 when I was just 12 heading to MSG to watch My Boys the Knicks play. Instead of an organ and fans chanting “Lets Go Knicks” the Frickin music is so loud you can barely hear your own Frickin voice when you talk to the guy in the next seat over! New York Vinnie does not necessarily approve of these changes but I can live with them if you catch my drift.
However every man has a breaking point and your old pal New York Vinnie has reached his! The “USA Today” has reported that the NBA will now allow ad logos to be put on their practice jerseys. This may be the first step in allowing an ad logo on regular uniforms. New York Vinnie has to be honest with you when I saw this article it made my Frickin Blood boil! Is nothing Frickin sacred anymore? Especially in sports?
Starting this upcoming season your favorite NBA team will be able to sell advertising space on their Frickin practice jerseys. Supposedly this is in the connection with the economic hit the Nation has gone through this past year. However in New York Vinnie’s eyes this is just a Frickin excuse to rationalize this crappola!
Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver told the media that the NBA was just at the beginning of exploring putting ads on NBA Uniforms. Silver said “We are operating a diverse business all around the world. “(Uniform Jerseys with Sponsors logos on them) is a well-established practice in other countries. Ultimately, I think our fans will come to accept it.”
Okay now let me tell you what New York Vinnie’s thoughts are on this issue! First of all I don’t know about you but when ever New York Vinnie hears or reads the term Deputy only one thing comes to mind. You got it Barney Frickin Fife! Why would you allow yourself to be labeled as Deputy anything? It’s not Deputy-President is it? It’s not Deputy-Coach right? So already this Frickin Pud Silver is not not coming off too highly to New York Vinnie.
Now Silver lets get one thing straight right off the top Okay? This is the USA not Europe or Asia. Women not shaving their legs or under their arms is well established practice in other Frickin parts of the world too! In many parts of Europe they don’t wear Frickin Deodorant either! But we don’t put up with that Frickin Crappolla here because this is the Greatest Nation On the Planet the USA! Besides when you were a kid didn’t your mom ask you that question that every Mom in America has asked? If everybody else jumps off the Empire State Building are you going to?
Do not try to justify what we do here with what goes on anywhere else there Barney! And drop this lousy idea about the uniform logos. You already had a problem with that composite ball from a few years back remember? This will be twice as unpopular mark New York Vinnie’s words!

As the old song goes “You Got To Know When To Hold ‘Em And Know When To Fold ‘Em” and it turned out Lamar Odom was holding the winning hand. The ”Los Angeles Times” has reported that the Los Angeles Lakers have re-signed their veteran forward for a four year deal that could make him up to $33 million dollars. Odom who was a key member of the NBA Champions this past June had earlier rejected a three year deal and the Lakers pulled it off the table.
The move got Odom a ton of criticism including from your old pal New York Vinnie. But as the saying goes he who laughs last laughs best and Odom is laughing all the way to the Frickin Bank! The Miami Heat were also doing some serious bidding for Odom and Heat All-Star Dwyane Wade flew out to see the forward. But Odom always wanted to stay in Los Angeles and he got the security he wanted with the added year. All and all the Lakers veteran comes up smelling like a rose!
Odom spoke to the media after the deal was announced and told reporters this was always his goal. He told reporters “I always wanted to come back because we won the championship. I’m playing for the biggest brand in the world. And I’m playing with the most fluid, talented center in the world in Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum’s coming back and of course Kobe Bryant.
But to now get an opportunity to play with Ron Artest, a guy I’ve known 16 years, it means a lot. I told Ron Ron a few weeks ago I couldn’t walk away. I still had to fight. Everytime negotiations didn’t go the way I thought, I just took a step back, like them pulling the offer off the table, I just knew I had to fight.”
Lamar My Man you stuck to what you wanted and you won! It does not get any sweeter than that My Man! You have won New York Vinnie’s respect as you showed the world you had the Frickin Nuts to hold out for what you wanted! There are not a lot of folks that would take that risk Lamar! You did My Man and you won Congratulations!
