Shaq is releasing his tell all book soon; I can’t deny that I am interested to hear what he has to say about a few players *ahem* Kobe. Here is a preview of what Shaq has to say about Dwight Howard…

“Dwight Howard is by himself. If he doesn’t get four rings, I’ll be disappointed in him. There’s no one for him to go up against,” O’Neal says.

“When I was playing I had (Patrick) Ewing in his prime. I had Rik Smits, Arvydas Sabonis, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutumbo. I had Vlade Divac, Kevin Duckworth. I caught some of David Robinson. (Greg) Ostertag. Guys with size. Now, I couldn’t name five centers.”

I gotta admit that Shaq has a bit of a point there…what do you guys think..

Chippa blowin up once again in Hawaii!

On the night he finally found vengeance, eternal validation and the highest measure of victory to wag in the face of anyone who had ever called him soft or mocked his cough, Dirk Nowitzki wasn’t going to let the world see his tears.

So he left the scene of his greatest triumph before a single teammate or coach could grab him for a hug, faster than he’s ever hurdled a scorer’s table to bolt off the floor, all to sneak back to the visitors’ locker room.

To cry alone.

“I could already feel the tears coming,” Nowitzki said in an AmericanAirlines Arena hallway, beaming now as he explained the mad dash at the final buzzer that superseded any urge he felt to dance on the court inside this house of old horrors … or to stick around and find out how it feels to get a congratulatory man-hug from Dwyane Wade.

“I had to recover, bro.”

The Dallas Mavericks had to drag Nowitzki back to the podium of champions Sunday night, so he could hoist the two trophies of his dreams, all because he didn’t want anyone to see him like this, whether they were in the building or watching on TV. He admittedly “cried like a baby” back in 2008 upon clinching Germany’s qualification for the Olympics for the first time in his career, but Nowitzki confessed that he was literally shaking with shock in the immediate aftermath of the Mavs’ 105-95 dismantling of the Miami Heat to win the 2011 NBA Finals.

“It sounds unbelievable.”

When Dirks shot wasn’t falling in Game 6 – missing 11 of 12 shots to start the game – his longtime teammate, Jason Terry, barked into his ear: “Keep pushing. Remember ’06.”

Jason Terry and Dirk Nowitzki, the only Mavericks remaining from the 2006 Finals team, have different recalls of Miami’s series-clinching Game 6 win in Dallas.

Nowitzki said he has never watched video of the game. Terry says he thinks about that loss nearly every day, “sometimes in the middle of the night.”

Dallas lost, 95-92, with Terry missing a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

“I remember getting hit in the head with confetti,” Terry said. “Just watching them celebrate, ride off on golf carts, champagne bottles and all that.

“I remember being back in our locker room, myself and Darrell Armstrong, holding each other and just crying the night away. Something I’ll never forget.”

Now Terry is a champion and can erase that horrid memory in 06;  now he can remember this night where he scored 27 points and helped his team get the title!!!

How do you celebrate the difference?
I love surfing. I have been surfing all my life. Surfing is the best way I have found to express myself in this life. When you have a really good day of surfing there is nothing that feels better than that.

What is a typical day in Keala Kennelly’s life?
I wake up around 7-8 am and make myself a Latte. Then I sit at my computer and check my stocks and check the waves on Surfline.com. If the waves are pumping I slam my coffee and head to Pipeline or Rocky Point to go surf and shoot. If the waves are bad I spend the morning going over work emails and then usually go to the gym or catch up on things around the house.

You’re one of the Original Women that has always been pushing the limit with big waves and you recently won the Billabong XXL Award. How was that experience for you ?

I was really happy to win the Billabong XXL Award this year. I have been nominated a few times but never walked away with the prize. I have spent most of my life trying to change peoples perceptions of what Women can do in big, heavy waves and it is really nice to get some recognition for that.

Aside from Surfing you Dj as well, how is that going for you and what are some of your inspirations?

Music is my other great love. I love to dance and I love to get people dancing when I am behind the turntables. DJing for me is all about creating a good party vibe. DJ’s that have inspired me are Danny Tenaglia, Chus & Ceballos, Eric Morillo, MAW, Cevin Fisher, Mark Knight and Marquez Wyatt.

Any future projects we should be looking out for?

Oh there is always something in the works. I am going to be looking to do some new projects with Billabong when they launch Billabong TV. Keep an eye out for that. For the moment, I am getting hyped up for this years Billabong Design for Humanity Party in Hollywood (June 15th). DFH was no joke the best party I went to last year so I can’t wait for this years event!

Sorry Lebron…You tried to take the cheater road to victory…

Hurley and Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd have launched an exclusive art-inspired t-shirt collection to benefit H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Everywhere). The fashion, art and surf communities gathered last night to celebrate the launch at the Sea-thos Foundation headquarters in Costa Mesa, Calif. Brandon Boyd, Bob Hurley and friends fêted the launch with a cocktail party and art show featuring Boyd’s original works and collection of t-shirts.

A mutual appreciation for surfing, art and music inspired the collaboration between the longtime friends. Boyd, the lead singer of Incubus, is not only a musician but an accomplished artist and surfer. The collaboration fuses his love for the ocean with art and the desire to make a difference.

“We have done projects together in the past but it seemed like it was time we truly put our collective heads together to make a real dent in a situation that affects us all, most importantly the swiftly growing problems in our oceans,” said Boyd in a statement about the collaboration with Hurley. “We start herein as surfers and musicians and are moving forward as stewards of our island.”
