NBA All-Star

The NBA All-Star starters have been announced and one pick is very shocking:

Eastern Conference Starters:

Dwyane Wade

Allen Iverson (WTF)

LeBron James

Kevin Garnett

Dwight Howard

Western Conference Starters:

Kobe Bryant

Steve Nash

Tim Duncan

Carmelo Anthony

Amar'e Stoudemire

The West's starters are great but the East starters well ?... From all the good guards out there that should have been a starter instead of Iverson. I love Iverson, he is a future Hall of Famer, but he doesn't deserve to be a starter. He hasn't done anything yet this season, but go back to the 76ers that's all. This voting is why a lot of people think that the fans shouldn't get the chance to vote. You never get something like this in the Pro Bowl selection smh... Other than that, the East is looking pretty strong, just hope the reserves are better than this. Some of the East players that the coaches should consider are Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Joe Johnson, Jamal Crawford, Shaq, Vince Carter, Rashard Lewis, David Lee, Chris Bosh, Josh Smith, and Gerald Wallace. This is going to be very tough for the coaches to pick, I'm just happy that I won't be picking.

The West's starters are looking very strong, having the leading scorer in the NBA (Melo), the star in the best team in the NBA (Kobe), and a man who dominates in assists (Nash). Now if you think the starters are huge just think about the reserves that need to be chosen. JR. Smith, Chauncey Billups, Chris Kaman, Richard Jefferson, Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki, Brandon Roy, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Zach Randolph, and Lamar Odom. Good luck :)

Besides the All-Star game (which will be on Valentines Day), the event that I always anticipate to watch, the event that made me fall in love with the NBA is the SLAM DUNK CONTEST. This year unfortunately :( Dwight Howard will not be competing, but Nate Robinson will be there to not disappoint us. Competing with Nate Robinson are Gerald Wallace and Shannon Brown. Now during the halftime of the Rookie vs. Sophomore game, Eric Gordon and DeMar DeRozan will be having a dunk off to see who will take the final spot of the Slam Dunk Contest. I think this way is better because last year's was just stupid; you had the fans pick the players not by how they could dunk, but by their other talents that had nothing to do with dunking. You know I will be watching the Rookie vs. Sophomore game to see who wins and how good they are.

This All-Star may be the biggest one ever. Not because of the players who will be there no, but it will be the place where they will be playing. This years All-Star Weekend will be in Dallas, Texas in the new Cowboys Stadium. The stadium will be holding more than 80,000 fans; that will be the most fans ever to be attending a basketball event. Which means more money for the NBA and Dallas, so its a win win situation for all.

When more information comes along for the All-Star Weekend, I will surely keep yall posted :)

I'm Proud to be a Haitian Dominican

A lot of people never believe me when I tell them my background, they always want to tell me what I am. Even when they try to believe me, they keep asking me so many questions. So this will be the last time I explain my background:

I'm Dominican Haitian a.k.a Domaitian but I was born and raised in Miami. My father and his family was born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and moved to the United States once he was 18 years old. My mother and her father was born in Haiti, but her mother was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. My mother moved to the United States when she was 20 years old and married. My parents have been in America for their whole adult life and raised my brother and I in America.

When people see my mother, they just think that she's a white woman who fell in love with a black man, not true. When people see my father, they call him a black man who fell in love with a white woman, again not true. Skin color has nothing to do with what a person is and what person background is. Just because my mother's skin color is white doesn't mean she is automatically a white person, her father had black skin. And just because my father's skin color is black doesn't mean he's from Africa.

I always here people around me speaking Spanish, Creole, or French and when I answer them back in their language, they have this shocked look on their face as if they never met a person that looks like knowing their language. Once I answer them, they always ask me what school did I learn these languages in. When I tell them that my family knew these languages and taught me when I was little, they get even shocked.

People for some reason are so naive that they think that I'm too light to be Haitian and too dark to be Hispanic. Now it seems like everybody I know has accepted the fact that I am Dominican, but they can't seem to accept the fact that I am also Haitian. People always say that they are no beautiful or successful Haitians out there; well hate to burst your happy little bubbles, but that is not true. People need to understand, just because you're Haitian, Dominican, Cuban, Puerto Rica, French, Indian, Mexican, or whatever, it doesn't define what you will be in the future.

So, for the last time I am Dominican Haitian, born and raised in Miami. I am proud of who I am and what I came from, and it will not define who I am or what I will become of myself in the future.

NFL: PLAYOFFS

The NFL season is over, and the Playoffs have begun. The Wild Card is over and the Cowboys beat the Eagles 34-14, Jets beat the Bengals 24-14, Cardinals beat the Packers 51-45 OT, and Ravens beat the Patriots 33-14 to advance to the Divisional Finals. I twas crazy I think the number 14 as big in the Wild Card? lol... anyways, the best game of the Wild Card week would have to be of course to the Cardinals and the Packers; it started off a little whack I gotta say, but at the end of that game it became so interesting. It was a high scoring almost no defense game, the Cards really fought for that win I gotta say. The game that really got me mad was the Jests and Bengals game; the Bengals are way better than the Jets, but I guess the Jets defense really proved why they are the best defense in the league. And the Eagles, OMG! How do you lose against the Cowboys to weeks straight in a row, I was totally in shock. Not mad at all cause I knew that they wouldn't pass the Divisional Finals.

The Cardinals were the last to play in Wild Card and the first to play in the Divisional Finals, so we all really weren't shocked when they lost to the Saints 45-14. Two words I have to say REGGIE BUSH... Reggie KILLED IT during that game, I think that was the first time since his USC days that I could call him a running back. Kurt Warner did get hurt during the 2nd quarter but came back during the second half. Matt Leinart did get to play, and from what I saw Leinart do, I would have kept him in and kept Warner out. Sadly this may have been the last game that Warner will play. So if it is, Kurt you had a great career and even though you last your last game, you still left with a big bang. FUTURE HALL OF FAMER. P.S. please don't be like Brett Favre and say you're not coming back but then you do, that wouldn't be fair to Matt and you know that.

It seems like every home team that had a bye week won; Colts beat the Ravens 20-3, Vikings whooped the Cowboys 34-3, but only one team didn't win and I really wasn't surprised, Jets beat the Chargers 17-14. It was actually very shocking, not the Chargers lost, but that it was the most interesting game from them all. I'm still mad that the Jets are still here; don't get me wrong they are good, but they are not that good. They keep getting lucky and I just want them to lose already.

Now the Conference Championship is beginning and the NFC Finals is looking very interesting, the New Orleans Saints vs. the Minnesota Vikings. Both teams are the truth and this may be a very high scoring game; they both have great defense but their offense are a whole lot better. If the Vikings lose, this may be Brett Favre's last game. I would tell you guys who I want to win, but I can't cause I like both teams and I want both of them to make it to the Playoffs, I just wish that they were both in different Conferences. Thankfully the best game will be on Sunday at 6:20, so that means everybody will be at home and not at church (LOVE THE LORD)... The other game will be the Indianapolis Colts. vs. the New York Jets, which will also be on Sunday at 3:00. Of course we all know who will win this game... sorry New York but the Colts will win. Yes you guys beat them in the regular season, but lets not forget THEY SAT ALL THERE GOOD PLAYERS!!! Jets were losing during the whole game until the Colts decided to sit all there players down, and then you guys finally won. Which means with there starters in, JETS WILL LOSE!!

The games will be on CBS and FOX. I can't wait to see how these games are going to end. I just want to see who are going to the SUPER BOWL already. Which don't forget SUPER BOWL is in Miami on February 7 and the Pro Bowl will also be in Miami on January 31.
