The Tricks of the Trade
by Dwayne Carter
Oh Lebron! The recent move by the Miami Heat confirms that we will someday soon have that good ole basketball back with all due respect to the Lakers-Celtics 7 game series. This move reminds me of the days when it was Johnson, Worthy, and Jabbar vs. Bird, Parrish, and McHale, or Thomas, Dumars, and Lambeer. Well now we have Bryant, Gasol, Bynum, and Pierce, Allen, Garnett, and ultimately, Wade, Bosh, and James! Do expect this to become “protocol” to win an NBA title. As for many more teams have and will be stacking their rosters with stars.
I believe that this Miami team will be explosive as intended. Anything less than an NBA championship title will be uncivilized. 72-10 anybody?. Well with Wade at the 1 and Lebron at the 2 or vice versa even, or Mario Chalmers at the 1, Wade at the 2, and Bron at the 3… Wow! Not to mention that I didn’t mention Bosh, who can live at the 4 or 5. Zone defense will be a must against this team. That’s 3 players on the court that commands a double team. Just imagine those guys on a fast break, the defender back peadaling… Wade can take it to the hole or throw it up and you know Bron. Bron is going to get it… or dish it back to a trailing Chris Bosh who will definitely finish at the rim… again, wow! Or how about Wade at the 3-point line, Bosh setting the pick, and Lebron in the passing lane. And if you collapse on them, don’t forget that Chalmers can knock down the shot. I bet that they lead the league in alley-oops. And they’re all young! Scary! Hey, what if Pat Riley returns to the sidelines and it ends up being the Lakers vs. Heat in the finals? Riley vs. Jackson! Epic! Gasol on Bosh, Ron-Ron on Bron-Bron, and Kobe on Wade… wow!
Also, beware of the Bulls. Boozer will fit in well because they’re similar to Utah in many ways. A nice guard surrounded by the shooters. With the addiction of Korrer and Rose should be able to shine brighter. The Bulls led the league in the rebounds last season and I’m sure they will again with Boozer and Noah.
Boston is the team of bad knees! With J. O’neal joining the squad, it adds another big man but his knees are always questionable. So is Garnett’s and now Perkins. But still expect them to do well in the east.
The Knicks are injury prone as well. Not only are their spirits injured from not getting The King, but Amare’s an injury threat as well as Turiaf and Randolph. If they can stay healthy, then expect Amare and Randolph to be beasts in the paint. Raymond Felton is no Steve Nash but he’s a solid point guard. He should do well with Stoudemire. I’m not sure about Orlando in the east this upcoming season. I mean Duhon isn’t exactly a good move but it has potential.
As for the West, Minnesota is stacked now with Beasley, Jefferson, Love, and Milicic. Golden State looks good with Curry and Lee. Though I’m not sure if we can expect Lee to brab all these boards in the west. Too many big men. As for the east is full of guards.
I can’t wait to see how teams stack up next season when those other big name players hit the market. Maybe Melo and Tony Parker to the Knicks? Or Chris Paul and Derrin Williams to the Lakers? They’re gonna have to do something! Good ole basketball.

I like lil wayne’s music and i think he is a great artist but some of the shit he does it ridiculous. I have been on the streets and have lived in the hood and i know the street life. But i turn the tv on for my 5 and 7 year old brother at 7:30 in the morning to cartoon network and i see a show made by lil wayne. Immediately there is cussin and bitch this and bitch that and i can’t believe this is on CARTOON NETWORK AT 7:30 in the morning. Young kids today shouldn’t be hearing that. We all want the shootings and murders to stop and i have been through several of my friends getting brutally murdered and i just think that it is completely inappropriate for him to be teaching the young kids what he is teaching them. That’s all i just wanted to put my two cents in and say that with all of the listeners and followers he has he could be setting a better example.
just gotta show love keep ya head up and hope yuh get tooo read dha letter!!!
MAdD KYdD!
Only 85 days left, can’t wait! Just want to wish you strength and congratulate you for the song “Right Above it” because its freaking amazing, can’t stop listening to it. Young Money Drake and You make an amazing team. Stay strong weezy and good bless you

All i would like to say to you is to keep up the good work in which you have always been doing right from childhood.

You guys in America love basketball…and even in your documentary basketball is always playing in your bus. I’m having trouble getting around to understanding the game, but from athlete to another, sport is an addiction. I played tennis for seven years, though Varsity gets the best of me now, I’m hoping to return to it soon. I’ve never really had an interest in rap music before, but the first time I heard your voice and the words I couldnt help but fall in love with only your music. Im not kidding when I say I’m truely a devoted fan…I know only you.
Sincerely yours,
Chandrey

hey u should music with d12 that would be really sick weezy!!
Wayne I wrote you a letter, I hope you receive. Hope you are doing as well as can be expected where you are . Can’t waite until you are free,love you.
Hey Bud,
I have no idea what you are going through in jail, I hope you are getting the respect that you deserve, but i wanted to let you know that you are inspirational. You have inspired me to be the best at whatever i want to do. Every time I am down on my luck…. I listen to your music. And it gives me that drive to just be me…. I have never been interested in making music, so we are far from the same. However, I love your style, I love your stories, i love your rhymes, And most of all I love the fact that you just took it like a man and pleaded guilty. If I knew you, I would tell you that you have an unrivaled character. It takes more of a man to do that than most people could…. Most of my friends would have got some crazzzzzy ass lawyer and bled the case on forever….I don’t know what I would do.. In alll honesty, I prob woulda done what you did… I am moving to NY soon and hopefully NYPD doesn’t pull me over for blowin weed out of my bus..I don’t think a weed license from CA works in NY… then again, I’m not cool enough to have a tour bus… hahaha.. anways, I’m goin to get my masters out there and I bring your music with me wherever I go…. Like I said, It’s one of the only things that inspires me when I am down. You will be out sooner than you think. The thing that sucks is the good times pass by faster than the bad ones. The bad times will pass
Take care,
NICK

Idk bout them winnin the championship next year cuz like many people have forgotten already the lakers do still exist in the league…Although they dnt have the type of fire power the heat has they have good players that fill certain roles needed to win and defend their championship as proven in these last nba finals…Not to mention the best active basketball player in the nba KOBE BRYANT!…Im not gonna lie and say that the heat dont have a chance this upcoming year to be champs im just sayin that in my opinion the heat need to give hese guys certain roles so that they can be successful.

Mr Carter,
Where do I start….. You are amazing, before I heard you, I didnt believe anyone could have such an impact on ones life, but it turns out it is very possible. Your music is amazing and the meaning behind the beat is deep. I can not wait untill September 27 for when your EP is released… well its September 28 in Australia I think…. anyway…. Well you probably wont ever get to read this but I just wanted to let you know that you have a huge impact on many people’s lives including this 15 year old’s.
