			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Good news y&#8217;all, thanks to all the hard work by the crew at WCBias.com (mainly the offseason acquisition of Senior Blogger Pembertonian and the lack of updates from myself), The Bias has cracked the top <em>million </em>Web sites in <em>the world</em>.</strong></p>
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://www.wcbias.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/eva.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-691" src="http://www.wcbias.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/eva-242x300.jpg" alt="Craig Sager wears suits that make Vanilla Ice look cool. Then again, look who he's interviewing. " width="201" height="249" /></a></dt>
<dd>Craig Sager wears suits that make Vanilla Ice look cool &#8230; as ice.</dd>
</dl>
<p>That&#8217;s right, after years of settling for the plus-million category, we&#8217;re up to No. 977,478, according to the latest rankings by Alexa. (Meanwhile, the official site of <a href="http://www.majorleaguewiffleball.com/">Major League Wiffle Ball</a> gets twice our traffic &#8230; yeah there really is a pro Wiff league &#8230; and yeah, we&#8217;re that bad).</p>
<p>Maybe the switch to WordPress paid off  you bloggah bums. &#8230; So what if there are 977,477 sites ahead of us. Watch out Google, we&#8217;re coming. Shouldn&#8217;t have bought up blogger. WordPress is where it&#8217;s at yo.</p>
<p><strong>Speaking of squads that never amount to anything&#8230; </strong>watching TNT&#8217;s broadcast Monday night of the mail-it-in game between the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Lakers, got me thinking: and that&#8217;s always scary.</p>
<p>When I put together that list of the top <a href="http://www.wcbias.com/2009/04/22/seven-deadly-baller-rapper-comparisons/">baller-hip-hop comparisons/look-alikes</a> in The League, I forgot this one: The Craig Sager-Vanilla Ice comparison.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know, like John Legend isn&#8217;t Hip Hop, Craig Sager ain&#8217;t a baller: in fact, Vanilla Ice ain&#8217;t hip-hop, but still: lemme speak.</p>
<div id="attachment_693" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 190px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-693" href="http://www.wcbias.com/2009/04/28/bias-cracks-the-top-million-jazz-suck-sagers-suits-suck/prz-007376/"><img class="size-full wp-image-693" src="http://www.wcbias.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/vanilla_ice.jpg" alt="Vanilla Ice or Craig Sager?" width="180" height="227" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Vanilla Ice or Craig Sager?</p></div>
<p>Sager&#8217;s suits are freaking B-R-U-T-A-L. In fact, before coming up with WCBias.com, this site was almost called &#8220;Craig-Sagers-Suit-Sucks.com.&#8221;</p>
<p>And if you&#8217;ve seen that purple suit Sager wears, you know what I&#8217;m talking about. That thing is straight out of a Vanilla Ice video. Unfortunately nobody is lame enough to have posted both those suits on the Web, so you&#8217;re stuck with these lame photos. And now that I&#8217;ve brought it up, whoever takes the above domain name, owes me $. They don&#8217;t call me B$L!M for nothing.</p>
<p>Speaking of money, tonight&#8217;s game also got me thinking of dough: and how much of a ransom was being asked for the Bruiser Boozer and What&#8217;s His Name Williams.</p>
<p>Where were Carlos and Deron anyway? Seems like a pretty expensive pair of cheerleaders â€“ in fact, they made: hmmmm: <a href="http://content.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/salaries/teamdetail.aspx?team=28&amp;year=2008-09">16 million this year</a>: and went a combined 7 of 20 from the floor in their last game of the year: nice work. Technically, Williams only cost 5 mill. Can you believe Boozer is worth 11.5 mill? Yeah, he&#8217;s not.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t even get me started on the Hornets. Losing by 58!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the hell happened to <a href="http://www.wcbias.com/2008/05/08/the-hornets-play-in-new-orleans-now/">this team</a>?</p>
<p>Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers, and Craig Sager for having the most hideous suits of all time, your Western Conference Champions â€“ &#8217;cause it&#8217;s obvious the Hornets and Spurs aren&#8217;t the teams they once were. Unless Denver does something, I just don&#8217;t see anyone touching the Lakes out West. Sure, L.A. hasn&#8217;t won in Portland in forever, and the Rockets are somehow good without T-Mac, but saying either of those two teams has a chance in LA-LA land is like saying Sager&#8217;s suits are sick: and Twitter&#8217;s cool: I hate Twitter. With a Passion. Did I mention <a href="http://twitter.com/wcbias">WCBias is on Twitter</a>. You confused yet? Good. That&#8217;s what you get in the top mill, baby. Wait &#8217;til we start getting Carlos Booooozer money.</p>

<p>Breaking news my fellow hip-hop heads: <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/danpatrick/blog/62243/index.html">Dan Patrick has found Tupac</a>.</p>
<p>Picture Makaveli rollin&#8217;, with the Chicago Bulls? I guess once Jordan left town, dude figured he could keep it on the low below the Chi-Town radar. Hit &#8216;em up.</p>
<div id="attachment_599" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 138px"><a href="http://www.wcbias.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ben-gordon.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-599" src="http://www.wcbias.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ben-gordon-150x150.jpg" alt="Bull Shhhhh-akur" width="128" height="128" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bull Shhhhh-akur</p></div>
<p>Nice effort Danny boy, but I think Raymond Felton is a better Pac impersonator than Ben Gordon. But we here at the DubCee give you credit for tryin&#8217;.</p>
<p>That said, here&#8217;s the West Coast Bias sports blog&#8217;s favorite baller-rapper comparisons, in honor the great Tupac Shakur, who is chillin&#8217; on a beach somewhere  after his Bobcats went 35-47 and finished 24-games back. Come on <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Suge Knight</span> MJ, bring in some talent would you.</p>
<p><strong>Shaq and That Dude who rapped with Fu Schnickens</strong></p>
<p>Oh, wait a minute. Comparing Shaq 1.0 with Shaq-Fu 2.0 don&#8217;t count. Just had to throw it back a bit. What&#8217;s up doc?</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div id="attachment_595" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 97px"><strong><strong><a href="http://www.wcbias.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nate-robinson.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-595" src="http://www.wcbias.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nate-robinson-150x150.jpg" alt="Mini-50" width="87" height="87" /></a></strong></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">Mini-50</p></div>

<p>Yep, that&#8217;s Shaq	, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIAVegnlNjc">rappin&#8217; about Tony Danza</a>, not being bragadocious: but supercalifragelistic, Shaq is alidocious.</p>
<p><strong>Nate Robinson and 50 cent<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Nate Robinson is a pint-sized 50 cent, right down to the shirtlessness and the tats.</p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_594" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 122px"><strong><strong><a href="http://www.wcbias.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/mo-williams.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-594" src="http://www.wcbias.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/mo-williams-150x150.jpg" alt="Say it ain't Mo" width="112" height="112" /></a></strong></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">Say it ain&#039;t Mo</p></div>

<p><strong>Mo Williams and John Legend</strong></p>
<p>Not exactly hip-hop, but close enough. Plus WCBias contributor RK is president of the Mo Williams fan club. Can you believe Ryantific thinks LeBron and Mo are the best 1-2 punch in the league?<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><br />

<p><strong>Larry Hughes and Juelz Santana</strong></p>
<p>New school but classic at the same time. These dudes look identical, even though I&#8217;m not sure where either of them are these days.</p>
<p><strong><br />

<p><strong>Sam Cassell and Russell Simmons</strong><br />
The next three are our all-time favorites. When he&#8217;s not looking like ET, Sam I Am looks just like Mr. Simmons. Run D Sam C.<br />
