Dream Night of watching the NBA

Last night was a dream night for anyone that's a fan of the NBA. The Living Legend Kobe Bryant played his final game and went out with a bang! Kobe dropped 60 points! Not going to lie....at first the game was hard to watch. Kobe had a few too many air balls and turnovers for my comfort. I screamed at the television "Kobe just sit down!". But, i'm glad he couldn't hear me because he started warming up after that. He went into his infamous "Black Mamba" mode and took over the game.
I couldn't think of any other way to have played the final game of your NBA career. One thing you could always count on when watching Kobe Bryant is he will give you 100% effort every time! I'm a Boston Celtics fan so I know all about Kobe giving every possession his all. It's annoying and heartbreaking when your team would go up against Kobe Bryant but that is the way the game should be played; don't take a play off and leave everything on the court. Ever since I've watched the game of basketball Kobe Bryant was running things so starting today I'll have to look at the game differently. With that said I want to personally thank Kobe for giving us a true example of what hard work and discipline should look like. Kobe can look in the mirror and say he gave it all he could. Kobe Bryant has finished his NBA career with 5 NBA Champions and a sure ticket to the Hall of Fame and the title of NBA LEGEND!

On the other side of the NBA, last night we were able to watch the Golden State Warriors make history and become the best regular season team in NBA history finishing with a record of 73-9. Major congratulations to the Warriors for accomplishing that task. Also, Steph Curry broke his own record of number of made three pointers made in a single season last night as well. Congratulations to Steph Curry! On my weekly podcast FTESWL I said the warriors would break the 95-96 Bulls record of 72-10 and was right so ill take this time to talk my sh*t lol. Seriously though, i'll further discuss the game and Kobe Bryant with my fellow co-host Kosher tonight on our show beginning at 8:30 p.m. Pacific Time be sure to tune in!

Top Ten Motivational Hip Hop Songs

One thing I love about Hip Hop is ITS REAL. Straight RAW! Well at least back in the 90s and maybe early 2000s. But, anyways its storytelling is told with the most vivid details. You can hear the pain and struggle though the words. The pain is what keeps you listening and the story of overcoming the pain is what keeps it on repeat. There isn't anything more motivational than an underdog story. So, here is the BYOD Top Ten Motivational Hip Hop Songs (in no particular order).

1. KANYE WEST FT. JAY Z-NEVER LET ME DOWN

2. BIGGIE SMALLS FT. 112- SKY'S THE LIMIT

3. CITY HIGH-WHAT WOULD YOU DO

4.  SLIPPIN-DMX

5. EMINEM-LOSE YOURSELF

6. NAS FT. PUFFY DADDY- HATE ME NOW

7. EMINEM- TILL I COLAPSE

8. NAS- I KNOW I CAN

9. J.COLE- RISE AND SHINE

10. 2PAC- KEEP YA HEAD UP

Negative to Positive is the name of the Game!

Someone once said "if you want to hide information from a n*gger, then put it in a book"

To start off let me say, I highly encourage reading or listening to audio books. I was never a child that chose books over playing the newest video game but it's never too late to try new things. The reason why I encourage reading books is their is valuable information to be learned from those that have already walked this earth. And I'll be damned! If I miss out on important information because I choose not to pick up a book.

In my latest read "Think and Grow Rich" the author Napoleon Hill shares the seven major negative and positive emotions. Of course, Be Your Own Dad is all about turning your negative into positives so I had to share this information with my #BYODFAM! One must be able to recognize a negative before making a change to a positive.

According to Napoleon Hill, the seven major POSITIVE emotions are:

The emotion of desire

The emotion of faith

The emotion of love

The emotion of sex

The emotion of enthusiasm

The emotion of romance

The emotion of hope

According to Napoleon Hill, the seven major NEGATIVE Emotions (to be avoided) are:

The emotion of fear

The emotion of jealousy

The emotion of hatred

The emotion of revenge

The emotion of greed

The emotion of superstition

The emotion of anger

My advice for today is to recognize the negative emotions listed above and figure out who (or what) brings these emotions out of you the most. That person is a void in your life and a change must be made in order for you to keep constant positive emotions throughout your day. Again, do the same for positive emotions. The person that brings out the most positive emotions for you is a person that you should constantly be around.

If anyone is a fan of the MTV Show Catfish than you have to show love and join me every Thursday at 7:00 P.M. Pacific time on the Catfish Aftershow. You know ima bring it straight up every episode and I need you to comment along.

This episode Michael was being catfished by one of his exes Christina. When Micheal learned it was his ex he was mad and didn't want any type of relationship with her at that point. I agreed with him because she wasted his time acting as a whole different person. If she came honest and correct with him than she may have had a chance. But, much like DJ Khalad would put it "Congratulations, you played yourself!". Check out the aftershow below and comment your thoughts!

This episode was great for the season but a horrible situation to be in. Jala had Jaylin caught in her whirlwind for 3 years! After finding out the truth Jaylin still wanted to be with her. I couldn't! No way,  Jose! Based on the footage on the show I saw through Jala's ways. She's a "playa playa in my eyes. Check out the aftershow below and comment your thoughts!
