It's why they are on the verge of winning th...

Im backkkkkkkkk!! Last Saturday... Isn't the weekend when you're suppose to rest?? I'm up early and I'm on the grind! I'm letting the league know now, next year I'm out for revenge! I kinda have a lil bit of a chip on my shoulder, so I'm waking up each morning and working hard?hey, its my JOB right! LOL Shout out to my boy Tew from FTB and everyone involved in helping support the RSOA scholarship fund. Last week we had a "Teamplay" fundraiser that went really well, I want to thank everyone who came out and supported the cause. To all my fans, camps coming up soon so make sure you check out RSOA.net for all the details. Ya Digg!! Last Sunday was definitely not my day of rest. Me and the Mayor of LA kicked it for during annual brunch for "LA's Best", haha your boy is one of LA's Best! LOL. This after school mentoring program that serves more than 50,000 inner city kids is especially close to me because is was a member when I was a kid so I always enjoy helping the cause. I cant help but support a special organization that's close to my heart. My boy Forest Whitaker received the humanitarian award, he's a great person, just an all around standup guy. I have nothing but love for Forest and respect him for what he has accomplished. Forest when I need some acting lessons I'm coming to holler at you! Sunday night I was fresh to death and headed to the Sports Spectacular, man I look like Denzel in this suit! The event is an annual event that raises more than $1 million each year to benefit Cedars-Sinai and the battle against birth defects. I got the call a couple months ago that I would be one of four athletes honored. Gabby Reese, Mike Strahan and Ray Lewis, were the 3 other honorees, a great class to be included in and extremely humbling. Derek Fisher also received an inspirational award. He and his family truly have a story that touched the hearts of everyone who has heard it. Big shout out to D. Fish and his fam! It was great to have all of my family and friends there with me. Cash was able to present me with the award. Yo, I'm about to be uncle Boom!! LOL. It doesn't get any better than that. I got that shirt for you Cash. LOL. I want to thank Terrin Christensen for being a true hero and helping me out on stage. Hey Steve, does the Aston feel like the Luzco Dragon Racing car? Maybe we will trade. My night ended with me and Snoop freestyling?HUH! I mean what else do I need to say. Soooo, this weekend I decided to chill. I stuck to my regular workout schedule and really just chilled around the house. I took a dip in the pool, you know in L.A. we have the perfect weather for that and kicked it wit the fam, my favorite thing to do during my free time? hey my summer is going just as planned!

DEREK FISHER AND ME

A Serious, Personal and Potentially Life Saving Story.

Derek Fisher Is a Father First, and a Jazz Player Later

Mon, 14 May 2007 17:53:11 -0500

Derek Fisher took over last night's game against the Warriors, scoring 14 points in the 4th quarter and 21 overall. Even more amazing is the fact that he's playing so well while his daughter suffers from "an advanced case of retinoblastoma, a cancerous tumor of the retina found in about 300 children a year." It's an incredible story and even if you're not a Jazz fan, it's hard not to be a Derek Fisher guy.
