Never could I imagine that the two things would meet in one place, but now they have… plus a little Michael Jackson, Karate Kid and Star Wars.

This came out a few days ago, but I just realized I hadn’t posted it here. Definitely worth checking out

He titled the post “Alexis Gentry Rules” which means I can now say that my rad-ness is well documented and scientifically proven.

Here’s a quick snippet of his intro…

Alexis is Alvin’s computer-savvy, writing-whiz, self-described “fan of pop culture” and “geek-speaking” daughter.  She is the founder of a website TrashWire.com and is, perhaps, the only person alive who could convince an NBA Lifer like Alvin Gentry to plug into the latest social networking craze.  On her blog and in article-style posts, she has detailed some of the times she’s spend behind the scenes with her father and the Suns team.  It’s well-worth your time.

As a result, I’m writing this blog as a continuation of my first “Basketball Diaries” post–which has nothing to do with Jim Carroll,Leonardo DiCaprio, or heroin–to detail the action, intrigue and adventure during my most recent trip out to the desert to spend some time with the Phoenix Suns….

As the primary writer for the site, I’m usually too busy writing about which silicone bimbo got the boot from Rock of Love to pay much attention to the wide world of sports, but lately a few sporting events have started to pique my interest.

First, I covered the Super Bowl… or rather, the commercials that were on during the Super Bowl, but that’s a start, right? Then I debated adding some coverage of the Phoenix Suns season because I love watching their games. I decided that covering only one team wouldn’t really give us a “fair and balanced” sports section, and since many of our readers live in Denver, people would start to wonder why I wasn’t talking about the Nuggets instead.

So, in the tradition of my Super Bowl post, I decided it would be fun to cover this year’s NBA All-Star weekend. Next thing you know, I was on my way down to Phoenix to check it out.

Totally the highlight of my week!

While he was on stage, I flashed back to myself as a kid in the early 90s dancing to this song and thinking he was so hot. Then I flash back to myself just a few years ago watching Rob Van Winkle on The Surreal Life and absolutely loving it. Usually anyone on celebreality tv proves their lameness, but he was one of very few celebrities who actually end up looking better after a reality show.

More clips from “Ice Ice Baby” as well as a clip of him doing Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music” after the jump…..
