Gotta say that I’m getting real excited about the cast the BALL DON’T LIE team is putting together. I am beginning to see the film. It’s cool to watch all this after reading the script and book for so long. Brin Hill, the director, is putting together a nice look for the movie. We’ve got a shot at doing something really special here. Taryn Manning was a real good look for Hustle & Flow and I know she will be great as Baby in our flick. Evan Ross was good in ATL. I love The Wire, so the chance to work with Idris Elba as Dante is great, too. We’re putting a nice little run together. Now, all I’ve good to do is get some of my boys parts in the film and we’ll be all good. Hey, Brin, are you getting all the reels off youtube? Holla at me about the cast, people, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Puerto Rico turned out to be a good look for the tour…. We had a “crash-the-court” at one of the biggest housing projects down there that was absolutely crazy. Air Up There shut it down by getting at least 10 dunks while we out there… Among the dunks he unleashed, he came with his signature 360-between-the-legs - It was off the chain…

The game on Saturday down there was one of the best international games I’ve witnessed…. It was team AND1 vs The Puerto Rican team which included some pros from PR, a handful of open-runs contestants and legendary DJ - ball trick kid - Bobbito. The Crowd was absolutely on the whole time… They were on their feet the whole game and were mad high energy. This was AND1s first game in PR ever.

My boy AIR UP THERE brought it.

de la’s boy Marquee is constantly putting AND1 on blast, and we’ve had our differences in the past, but I’d like to accept his invite to sitdown and get stuff straightened out… So, when my foot’s healed, I want to get on the court with him and see if he really has skills or if he’ll just be looking at my back when I take his ass off the dribble…

Easy. Fess #12, AND1.

What you doin in LA with Phillipinos and Eses
Latinos and Chevys, down by Pico with Fredrico?
I answer all your questions but then all y’all got to go
Now the question I ask is how bad you want to know.

‘Cause that’s Sticky’s world and I’m Sticky… Are you Sticky?

Whatup, your boy is down here in Puerto Rico, getting ready for our game tomorrow at the Puerto Rico coliseum. Like I said, I’m still rehabbing my injury for another 3-4 weeks before I can play for real. Getting my workouts in out here and spreading the good AND1 word. I figure if my foot is 90% healed as it is, then there’s no reason to start playing again and risk reinjuring it again. So I definitely won’t be back in action ’til November when we head to Japan for 2 games over there.

I talked to brin, the director of our film, and he told me that he’s starting to make decisions on what actors will be in the film. He said he’s been thinking about different actresses to play my girl in 3 Stones Back (BDL) and my comment back to him was: Is She gonna be hott? Lol. Because seriously it don’t matter who it is to me, I’d just like it to be attractive girl if I’m going to be acting as if I’m love with her onscreen, you dig? And, she better be a good actress.
Other than all that, I’m just looking forward to filming this movie as soon as we’re able to.

Things are real good now and are only going to get better. I’ll keep y’all updated on upcoming things soon. Easy! STICKY #7 in the book, #3 in the script.

I’m in Puerto Rico with team AND1. Still rehabbing the foot, so I’m here doing promotion for AND1. Unfortunately, I can’t play for another month, but I should be ready to go for our week-long trip to Japan in November (That is unless we’re finally shooting this flick). Talked to director brin hill last night and he’s making some real nice progress on the film. We’ve circled a couple other actors and, if we have our way, we should have a real decent cast around me soon. It’s been a frustrating summer not being able to play, but I’ve gotten a chance to work on the script a lot and I really can’t wait to be Sticky on the screen. It’s coming, man, can you feel the ground swell? One, Sticky.

For those of you who have read the book and know the world of Sticky inside out, who do you think should play Sticky’s mentor on the court, Dante?

I know brin is dropping the dude that we’ve cast as him tomorrow, but I want to see what all of you think…  The choice is real nice, I hope some of you all think of him…

Holla… The Professor AND1 #12

Here’s a nice little layout from Becket’s…

There are a lotta opinions out there on who should play my girl in the film… Matt has been posting pictures of potential Anh-Thus on his blog and people have been responding. Who do you think should play Annie? If you don’t know who Annie is, then you better pick up a copy of the book and stick your nose in it… If you get the new printing, you’ll even see a quote from me on it. Hit me with your thoughts on Anh-Thu, maybe we can push brin in a real nice direction… Holla.

The Professor AND1 #12.

Hey people, I just got back from vegas and nyc, where I was repping AND1, but not able to play on my foot yet. The NYC game was hot and the folks showed a lot of love to team AND1 and to me. It was great seeing the guys storm the court at a couple famous runs in the city and finish out a great summer real strong. I’m trying to rehab my foot and am about to see a therapist to get his opinion on everything. We’re hoping that The Professor will return to the hardwood in time to be healthy and bringing it for the September 16th game in Puerto Rico. Haters stop sleeping and thanks to all the fans who have been supportive while I’ve been on the shelf. The Professor AND1 #12.
