5 Things This Sign Says To Me...

This sign is simple, dope and I would love to spin here for free (just let me send drinks to the ladies.)

Here's 5 things this sign says to me.

1. I need to book the first open night they have to DJ!

2. MY WEEKEND/BBQ GOALS!

3. MY RELATIONSHIP/ MARRIAGE GOALS

4. I should have at least 3 t shirts that say this.

5. I should borrow 3 million, buy 5 dive bars between here and Philly...and then Franchise NICE PEOPLE DANCING TO GOOD SOUL MUSIC.

Re-Introducing Nadia Wilkes

Once upon a time.
I asked my dear friend Terri Showers to sing at my annual holiday party.
Terri was busy on a money making gig....however she sent some of her students from Charter Tech in her place.

That night her students shined bright and showed out. Including vocalist Nadia Wilkes.

Since that time I have followed the career of Ms. Nadia Wilkes (as well as several success stories from Charter Tech.)

This morning, I woke up to a post asking about Nadia Wilkes from Pleasantville.
Likewise...several of my friends from the music industry across the country have contacted me....
"Do You Know Her?....What Do You Think? Has She Been On Your Radar?"

I am proud to say....Miss Wilkes like many of her alum from Charter Tech are staking their claim and making the world recognize their talent.


I can proudly say. This amazing appearance at The Apollo will not be the last you hear from Ms. Wilkes. Remember, this is just the first time you may be hearing from her...but by no means the last!

Now I am looking forward to  2 days.

First the day I can get her on The Light for an interview.

The second day, I can't wait till she's too big for my platform, but I will be cheering the loudest when she picks up that first Grammy....(Yeah Terri Showers louder than you too.)

THE 1985/88 SLAM DUNK CONTESTS...A NEVER ENDING BATTLE

3 Things In My World Will Never Ever Be Settled!

#3 What Would Happen If The Incredible Hulk (Marvel) and Superman (DC) really fought (an imaginary battle) for real. (I know I'm a geek.)

#2 Who Really Won The Sugar Ray Leonard Vs. Marvin Hagler Fight (I will be writing about that too.)

The Number one thing that will NEVER BE SETTLED IN MY MIND IS...WHO REALLY WON THE 1985 and 1988 Slam Dunk Contests?

Now before all my hardcore ball fans start yelling Vince Carter...we are not talking about the best dunker ever....

I am discussing the phenomenon that was The Slam Dunk Contests between Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins.

I surmise that if it happened today...Jordan would take home the trophies because through the spectrum of time sports writers and young fans have made Jordan into Paul Bunyan and Big Foot all rolled up into one.

I lived through The Jordan years....

The 1985 and 1988 Slam Dunk Contests happened when Jordan was only "Fonzie" from Happy Days...however Dominique Wilkins was a terror of a dunking machine himself. While the NBA was wondering (for real) whether Jordan was going to be able to assume the mantle of "the next Dr. J"- Wilkins was making his own legend as "The Human Highlight Reel."

When these 2 forces game together head to head in the 1985 Slam Dunk Contests....It would not be much of an exaggeration to say...The Hulk left down, Superman was not available for comment, and perhaps the only event more electrifying was The Thriller In Manilla.

Jordan Vs. Dominique for the undisputed Slam Dunk Crown...

Though Dominique Wilkins won the title in 1985...that contest has RIGHTLY been disputed and still is.

Injuries kept the 2 giants from rematching until 1988.
In 1988...The Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins that entered Chicago Stadium that day would have creamed their younger selves (from 1985) in a dunk contest.

I have been writing for over ten years and have watched this 1988 contest several times...the words still are just beyond reach!

I can give you one word...

CLASSIC!

In the final tally I believe Wilkins averaged 48 and Jordan 49 ....

I am not saying Dominique was robbed (although I have said it....)

However, being as close as it was and the contest taking place on Michael Jordan's home court there was no way he was going to lose.

Also keep in mind MJ never dunked against Wilkins again ever.

I still think Wilkins won...but God knows....it so much of a tie...that gets closer and closer every time I watch it!
