Heating Up

Welcome back to another installment of the UrbanWord 411.!!!!!

In the NBA the San Antonio Spurs recently took game 1 following a 4th quarter outburst in which the team shot 14/16. Tim Duncan shot 90% for the game and joined some elite company by completing that feat last Thursday.LeBron James left the game early due to severe cramping, however he has stated that he will be ready for game 2 on June 8th. Dwayne Wade played excellent and looks to be able to still compete at an elite level. The AT&T center experienced a malfunction with the air conditioning causing the arena to elevate in temperature above 90 degrees, which some believe may have affected the players. Above you can look at a highlight reel of the Game 1 action.

Congratulations to Miguel Cotto, who defeated Sergio Martinez via 9th round TKO to become the first Puerto Rican to win titles in 4 weight divisions. Miguel Cotto may have just tossed his name into the pool of potential Floyd Mayweather opponents. Amir Khan may get his chance to fight Mayweather in early 2015 in his home land of Great Britain. The fighter has become the biggest phenom from the area since Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton. Adrien Broner has again expressed his desire to fight Pacquiao and a bout between him and Danny Garcia is currently in the making. The next super fight we have in boxing will feature Canelo Alvarez and power puncher ErisLandy Lara in early July.
In the world of music Troy Ave is still an unsigned free agent who may be close to signing a deal soon. Reports have surfaced that the rapper wants at least 1.3 million dollars for his services, however he is willing to compromise if the numbers are right. Hovain, Troy's manager has stated via an Elliot Wilson interview, that labels are hounding Troy to sign however when the time is right the deal will fall through. The G-Unit album and Dipset albums are coming soon as is Meek Mill's Sophomore project. Slaughterhouse recently released a mixtape to generally critical acclaim showcasing the group's lyrical explosions. Personally my favorite member is Joell Ortiz but I'm a biased Brooklyn guy lol. Each member is dope in his own right but I feel like Crooked I and Budden have alot of pain behind their lyrics.
