Kareem Reid vs. White Chocolate - Meltdown!

Written by Bobbito Garcia

First things first, White Chocolate a.k.a. DC Sniper put on a show yesterday at Kingdome. 3 after 3 after 3, regardless if it was Pete Mulligan a.k.a. “Just Do It,” Jason “Soul Controller” Wingate, or Kareem “Big Game” Reid. “Count Buckets” (my nickname for him) was draining, mixing, totally unstoppable, absolutely putting the bookbag on for his squad. He had 40 easy, if not more, and the three defenders i just named all played major D1 minutes. Unfortunately, that’s not what will be remembered about yesterday... Kareem got into it, too. Behind the paint, to the saucepan, ‘Reem talked to the crowd like he was possessed by John Strickland. Announcer Taz was saying, “Reem got the twinkle toes!” Yes, he was dancing with the ball. I’d never seen him so animated. So the game became a 1 on 1 clear out session, culminating in Reem vs. the Count. Then it happened. Left wing, in and out simultaneous through the legs to a step back half spin to a jet propulsion left . . . then the signature Reid spin . . . and bong bong . . . White Chocolate knees buckled as he fell to the ground and Big Game’s floater dropped. About 100 people ran on the court. It was mayhem. My man Laprince said it was the best game at Kingdome this season so far. There was still 5 minutes left in the second half, but basically it was over. WC came right back, did a 360 spin while holding the ball over Mr. Reid’s neck then passed it over his ear to a trailer. The crowd said, “Ahhhh!” Kareem may have won the battle, but Chocolate won the war. He could walk out of there with his head up, even if it mixed pretty bad for one play. White Chocolate coming back at Kareem with no fear after getting bopped. That’s why everyone in the stands is on their feet. BounceMag.com No one has commented on this article.
