The Beautiful Struggle Live

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 12:50:34 -0500

by Franklyn Calle You may remember him from the Sebastian Telfair “Through the Fire” documentary. Or you may even remember him from his book that dropped last year “The Beautiful Struggle,” in which he gave readers an inside look of what it was like growing up as a troubled and disadvantaged youth in Coney Island. From dealing with the murder of his 23 year old mother at the age of four to growing up witnessing drugs in his household, on the streets and at one point even selling them. And jus...

Browse more photos » In the first quarter of this one, it seemed like maybe it was going to be big fun. By my count, half of the Clippers first ten buckets were dunks, and it just felt like that was how it was going to go, with Sebastian Telfair throwing the ball up at the rim and Blake Griffin and...

Delonte Arrested on Weapons Charge

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:25:00 -0500

Wow! Who would have thought that one season with Sebastian Telfair would have had this kind of influence on Delonte. At least Bassy was just caught with one gun at a time. The Washington Post (and just about everybody else) is reporting that former Celtic (and current Cavalier) Delonte West has been arrested on a weapons charge. Here are some of the details: Delonte West, a guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers, was driving a three-wheeled motorcycle north on Interstate 95 near Route 214 in the ...

Yet Another Fresh Start for Sebastian Telfair - TrueHoop By Henry Abbott - ESPN Kevin grabbed a separate interview with Sebastian Telfair after his session with the gathered LA media.

Yet Another Fresh Start for Sebastian Telfair

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 09:39:42 -0500

Posted by Kevin Arnovitz No kid in the history of high school athletics saw his young career chronicled with more fanfare than Sebastian Telfair. Ian O'Connor's The Jump, and Jonathan Hock's documentary Through the Fire both captured Telfair's senior year at Abraham Lincoln High School in Coney Island, where Telfair was preparing himself to be basketball's next great phenom. Before Telfair ever suited up in an NBA uniform -- he was drafted 13th overall by Portland in the 2...

Bassy on the move again

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:26:12 -0500

Sebastian Telfair is changing teams once again. This time as part of a 4-player deal that sends Quentin Richardson to Minnesota.He'll probably have some decent games for the Clippers... but it's pretty obvious that Telfair is going to be relegated to life as a back-up PG for the rest of his career. He'll be a decent back-up... and he'll probably kick around for 5 more years if he wants to. Or... he'll find a better, more lucrative life overseas.

Stephon Marbury is out of the lineup for tonight's game at the "William"Cats, he did not even travel with the team. He needs more time to cope with the loss of his mentor and more importantly his Dad...............Give the poor guy a break.

Sebastian Telfair really made the most of his night in New York. His $50,000 chain was stripped from his neck and he's now being linked in the shooting of rapper Fabolous. Whatever happened to walking around Times Square?
