Who That Is? That's Just My Baby Mama.

There was a report released by ESPN yesterday regarding a woman recently arrested at the home of Mavs German Über star Dirk Nowitzki. Apparently this mystery woman turned out to be a former girlfriend of Dallas' marquee player. Her name is Crystal Taylor, a young lady with a rap sheet that aspiring rappers dream about (arrested for forgery, felony and theft) who claims to have known Dirk for 7 years. Now for the big news, Ms. Taylor supposedly had a pregnancy test at the Dallas County Jail. To quote Nas..."What's the result? Not Positive." Well, not if your name is Dirk. I'm sure while he was getting roasted by the committee at TNT for basically admitting that he could be bitched by Denver's Trio of big men that being Daddy Dirk was the last news he wanted to hear. Especially when the wonderful announcement is coming from a woman behind bars whose past might just get you thrown in the can right along with her.

My girl's aunt was talking about this two weeks ago before the story even broke. I was watching Denver punk Dallas down to another victory while my chick was laughing with her aunt and step mom in the background. I heard Dirk's name a couple of times, but it had nothing to do with his skills on the court, or at least not the basketball court. They kept talking about this crazy girl that had Dirk stressing out and had his teammates questioning their star's taste in women. When it comes to this side of the game, women know their shit. Keep in mind this was weeks ago, Dallas was still trying not to get completely embarrassed and Mark Cuban was oddly trying to get jumped by Kenyon Martin's momma and Da Baddest Bitch. Funny how the name Crystal Taylor never made it beyond the walls of that house until yesterday. I've always wished I can change certain tings in history just to see how things would've been different. What if O.J. was white? What if Robert Blake was black? What if P.J. Carlissimo would've attacked Latrell Sprewell? Jadakisss had a good one in his song "What If" asking " What if Peyton was fighting dogs instead of Mike Vick?"

There is glaring evidence of the double standard that exists in America when it comes to African Americans, especially in the main stream media. Imagine if this same scenario took place at Carmelo's crib? That story would've broke faster than a Twista verse. Melo would've had 30 microphones in his face after every game asking questions about his personal life instead of his stellar play in the playoffs. ESPN analyst would've had articles about Anthony's past troubles that had to do with everything except basketball. But this wasn't Carmelo Anthony now was it? Instead, Dirk was able to concentrate on basketball and his personal life was left outside of it as it should have been. He didn't have to answer uncomfortable questions about issues that are no body's business but his. ESPN was nice enough to sit on this story until Dirk took his customary flight home to Germany after Dallas is ousted of the playoffs every year. The same ESPN that rushed to the Dallas Cowboys with a Pacman Jones story last year that got him suspended before the jury was out. Must be nice.
