ESPN Video: LeBron James' Free Agency Decison
In case you've been under a rock for the past 12 hours and somehow missed this....
Cavs owner Dan Gilbert apparently didn't take LeBron's decision too well!
And neither did the Cavs fans. <-- Man, there must have been a lot of (Miami) heat coming off those burning #23 Cleveland Cavaliers jerseys! Anyway, onto more weighty issues....

K'naan and Young Canadian Artists Wave the Flag for the World Cup & Haiti
The above version was made especially to be the official theme song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa this summer (in July?). MAJOR!!!
But then this new version just dropped last week as well:
"K’naan’s “Wavin’ Flag” is one of the standout tracks from his Troubadour album and has become something of a phenomenon thanks to its timely message of strength and solidarity. Now famed producer Bob Ezrin has brought together top Canadian performers for Young Artists for Haiti, and the group’s rendition of the song takes it to new heights. Performers include K’naan, Nikki Yanofsky, Justin Bieber, Jim Cuddy, Emily Haines, Hedley, The Arkells, Drake, Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne, Jully Black, Sam Roberts, Kardinal Offishall, and more."
Click to BUY the "Wavin' Flag" song on iTunes HERE.
I ain't gon' front, I was semi on K'naan when I first got aware of him but this song is a fantastic feel-good anthem that deserves all the attention and success it has been getting. K'naan has really grown into his self as an artist and I only see him getting bigger from here. Dude is a great ambassador for hip hop and I see him potentially becoming a major global superstar. Yeah, I said it: believe it! Canada, STAND THE F-CK UP!!!!

Hey Rio, good luck with those 2016 Olympics... (Part III & IV)
"Eerie evening for Brazil as power outage plunges future home of the Olympics into late-night blackout." Apparently similar incidents in the past were the result of cyber attacks! [Daily Mirror UK / CBS 60 Minutes]
"Brazil's president promised to battle drug traffickers who launched a weekend of bloody chaos that killed 21 people in Rio de Janeiro just two weeks after the city won the 2016 Olympic games." [Latin American Post]
D'oh! #NoShots at Brazil of course! :/

Video: Amazing Hockey Goal Scored by a 9 Year Old
A friend of mine sent me this earlier yesterday:
I'm not much of a hockey fan even though I'm up here in Canada, but that was SICK! As incredible as that was though, I don't think they needed to repeat it like another 5 times over!
