The USA Senior Men’s Team wins another consecutive game, this time against China. The game took place in Beijing. Although China was at home, USA still came out on top. This game will definitely go down in history. China’s secret weapon, Yao Ming, didn’t affect USA’s performance. Team USA took the victory by 31 points (101-70). Kobe Bryant even compare the night to one he’s never experienced before in his life:
“I’ve never felt an environment quite like this,” Kobe continued “I’ve played in many big games, but the energy tonight was different. I think they knew that history was being made tonight, obviously, it was a proud moment for their country as it is for ours. You could feel the electricity.”
Before Bernie Mac passed on to the other side, he was surrounded by his closest family members, according to his sister-in-law.
His wife, Rhonda, and daughter, Je’Niece, were at his bedside, and his wife’s sister, Mary Ann Grossett, reveals that in his final moments, Mac “struggled for his life,” adding, “He couldn’t breathe.” She tells People.com, “He opened his eyes on his own and looked at Rhonda. She called his name, and he opened his eyes and nodded to her. She smiled at him and told him, ‘Don’t leave me… I’m waiting for you to come back.’ He shrugged his shoulders, and she said that’s when she knew he was tired.
He signaled to her that his body was tired. “(The doctors) were working on him. They tried to resuscitate him two times. One time he came back for about an hour. Then he went into cardiac arrest the
second time.” And Grossett reveals her sister is “devastated”, but adds, “What she will treasure the most is the fact that she was his wife for 30 years - and not only was she his wife, but she was his best friend. She’s going to miss him dearly.” ( SOURCE: WENN )
Mac’s public funeral service is scheduled for this Saturday (August 16th) in Chicago, Illinois at House of Hope.

Cassie, Lupe Fiasco & N*E*R*D* all have their own cover for the August/September issue of Complex Magazine. In the multi cover issue, Cassie will be talking about her upcoming album, training with vocal coachs and the haters. Here is a few questions Complex asked her and responses:
The Internet helped launch you, but it’s also home to extremely harsh anonymous sh*t-talkers. How do you feel about that?
Cassie: I love it.
You do?
Cassie: I do. It’s ammunition. I used to be really offended by it. It didn’t motivate me before; I didn’t get that concept. I get it now. At this point, the ridiculousness of the Internet and the things that people say—it’s funny.
What’s the harshest thing that’s been said about you?
Cassie: “She’s f****ng for checks.” I don’t f**k for checks—I’d rather live on the street.
Soul singer and actor Isaac Hayes has died, according to CNN. Relatives found the 65-year-old Grammy & Academy Award winner unconscious in his home next to a still-running treadmill, said Steve Shular, a spokesman for the Shelby County Sheriff’s Department. Paramedics made attempts to revive him and took him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 2 p.m., the sheriff’s department said. No foul play is suspected.
Isaac Hayes, who is most known for writing the popular theme song to “Shaft,” co-starred alongside Bernie Mac in a new movie titled “Soul Men.” Bernie Mac passed away from pneumonia over Saturday morning.
On behalf of everyone involved with T2W, I would like to express my condolences to the family of Isaac Hayes. Another legend has gone on. He will be missed.
