Yes, I should note tokyo alerted me to the Maloofs’ presence in Lil Wayne’s video. I would not otherwise have known. Honest.

Oh yeah

I meant to comment on that on StR. I was shocked when I saw thw Maloofs in Wayne’s video. I wonder if they provided the hookers?

Probably

I think they’re included in the $6,000 burger combo meal.

In Larry Miller's defense

He’s pretty damn street for the state of Utah.

In my opinion*

they’ve all jumped the shark. Their vote on the Seattle SuperSonics franchise sealed the deal for me.

Bastards. If I didn’t love basketball so much, I’d boycott the NBA..

Incredibly savvy smart businessmen buy an NBA franchise and begin claiming they were duped into buying a money losing business? Puhlease.

I wish I was as stupid as they are, I would be able to retire at a fairly young age.

Pfftttt!

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. It's simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get tangled, you tango on

I was one of the 70%

and had the Maloof’s not been such doofus douche’s during the whole process I would have one of the 30% who voted for it.

It's a proud day to be a Kings fan.

But I think the Maloofs are about as “street” as THIS.

Nice one LPA

The Malloofs may be as “street” as that, but they aren’t quite as “street” as This

insanity runs in families

i am sure the maloofs have already warranted the attention of every law enforcement agency at the local and federal level, now they readily aline themselves with yet another person of questionable reputation, whatever happened with sports heroes, and businessmen your son could emulate? These two just don’t care…....
