warum » and a woman on the night that Pistorius fatally shot Steen

Q: Did you have a jersey as a kid that you wore way too much? MP: Oh yeah, I had a Penny jersey. Penny Hardaway. Man, I think I wore it until the number came off. I thought I was Penny (laughs). Q: Who was your basketball idol growing up? I guess it was Penny Hardaway? MP: He was one, but growing up in Michigan, having the Bad Boy Pistons. Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars were my idols, but also Magic Johnson. (photo: Getty Images) Q: Morris Peterson game-worn headband sold for $100.00. MP: Oh, what!? Q: How much would you have paid for an Isiah Thomas game-worn headband when you were younger? MP: Well you know what? The cool thing about being an NBA player is you get a chance to meet some of the coolest guys. So, he would just probably give it to me (laughs). Q: Youre widely considered as the most popular Raptors player ever. The ultimate fan favourite. Why do you think you connected with this city and its fans so well? MP: You know I wish I could say what it was. But I think the city and the fans appreciate blue collar work ethic. Michigan and Toronto kind of remind me a lot of each other in terms of the people. We got great people who go to work every day, punch in, work hard, punch out and go home. So, that was kind of my mentality stepping on the floor. I think if you look at what Canada stands for, with hockey and being tough, I think I kind of reminded them of a hockey player (laughs). (photo: The Windsor Star) Q: Three memorable moments stand out for raps fans when they think of MoPete: the blind folded layup, the crazy buzzer beater in Washington, and the first time back at the ACC as a visitor, you were introduced in the starting lineup and you went to centre court and kissed the logo. Which was most memorable for you as a Raptor? MP: I would have to say coming back and kissing the floor. Because that was a spur of the moment thing. I just wanted to show my gratitude and my love for the city, and the fans I grew with. They got a chance to see me grow from a kid to a man. And over my career we had some good times and bad times, but I just wanted to show my appreciation. Q: What was your favourite Raptors "look"? You have the purple pinstripes early days, purple front black back days and then the red and white canadian look? MP: Well, I think it was when we had the red jerseys, being at Michigan State at the time we didnt really have a lot of different jerseys. So, when I got to the NBA everybody had alternate jerseys, so I was looking for the red one. I also wanted to wear the Huskies jersey one time. And I think they did one time, but that was after I left! And I was sitting there thinking to myself, "Oh man, I was the one who told everybody we should wear those!" (Laughs) (photo: Richard Lautens/Toronto Star) Q: Whos jersey would you rock on this years Raptors team? MP: Ouu, theres a lot of guys on the team I would rock. Kyle, I would rock all of them, you know Kyle Lowry is a tough point guard, T-Ross, DeMar. But I gotta stick with the wing players. Q: Will Vince Carter get his number raised in Toronto? MP: I think it will, Yes, sir…. For sure. Q: Former Raptors teammate, Jalen Rose, just did a ncaa tournament style bracket for hip hop groups on his podcast. In your opinion, who should win best hip-hop group of all time? Final Four was Wu-Tang, NWA, Outkast and A Tribe Called Quest. MP: WOW! Oh man. Wow, thats tough. But I would have to say Outkast may edge Wu-Tang, only because, and Im going to use players terms here, they had more experience at the time (laughs). But no, I would probably have to go with OutKast. (This video is NSFW) Favourite YouTube video? Well, I do like to watch old basketball highlights. But I would have to say (thinking). You ever see that one where the little boy bit his brothers finger? Charlie bit my finger. Ya, thats one of my favourites cause I got kids you know, so when they saw that, they always wanted to watch it. Can you go BarDown? Absolutely. When I was in Muskoka not too long ago, we had to do a scavenger hunt and I had to put the puck in the corner of the net, like an accuracy challenge. And I put in the corner, but it was probably the hardest thing Ive ever done too. And I think I had my eyes closed (laughs). Nicolas Otamendi Argentina Jersey .

"Im scared of u sometimes and how u snap at me and of how u will react to me," Reeva Steenkamp texted Pistorius, in a message read out in court by police Capt. Francois Moller. In another message, Steenkamp wrote to the double-amputee runner: "I cant be attacked by outsiders for dating u AND be attacked by you, the one person I deserve protection from." The messages suggested both lovers were experiencing emotional insecurity, though the exchanges revealed in court reflected prosecutors efforts to portray Pistorius as an aggressor with a short fuse, matching earlier testimony from a former girlfriend who had said he sometimes shouted at her. In one message, the runner indicated Steenkamp had not told him the full story about smoking "weed," or using drugs, while she defended past conduct with the declaration: "I wasnt a stripper or a ho," a slang term for prostitute. The court adjourned with Moller expected to return to the witness box on Tuesday. He has not yet revealed if police recovered any phone messages or communications from the night of the killing on Feb. 14, 2013. Moller said that from Steenkamps phone he obtained more than 1,000 exchanges with Pistorius on WhatsApp and other phone messaging applications. Moller said he received as evidence two BlackBerry phones, two iPhones, two iPads and a Mac computer from Pistorius house the day after the shooting death of Steenkamp. The data on Steenkamps phone would print to more than 35,000 pages, said Moller. Of the fraction of exchanges between the couple, he said that about 90 per cent were what he called normal and "loving" exchanges. In Steenkamps message about being scared of the athlete, she also added: "You make me happy 90% of the time and I think we are amazing together." She goes on to talk about Pistorius snapping at her about chewing gum and talking in an accent, and then writes: "I just want to love and be loved. Be happy and make someone SO happy. Maybe we cant do that for each other. Cos right now I know u arent happpy and I am certainly very unhappy and sad.dddddddddddd" The long message was sent after the two attended a friends engagement party and apparently left early because she said he got upset and jealous. As Moller read the message, Pistorius, who had been looking at a book of the compiled messages, closed his eyes. Tears fell to his lap. He wiped his eyes with a handkerchief and regained the composure he held through most of the day. The runner apologized for his behaviour in replies to Steenkamps message, according to the testimony. Moller also read messages exchanged after a shooting incident at Tashas restaurant in Johannesburg about a month before the fatal shooting. Boxer Kevin Lerena and Darren Fresco, a onetime friend of Pistorius, testified that the Olympian asked Fresco to take the blame for a shot that went off after the loaded gun was passed to Pistorius under the table. In the phone message exchange, the 27-year-old runner explained to 29-year-old Steenkamp: "Angel, please dont say a thing to anyone ... the guys promised not to say a thing," he wrote. She then replied: "I have no idea what youre talking about ;)" Pistorius has pleaded not guilty to a firearms charge related to that episode. Earlier Monday a neighbour testified that she heard gunshots as well as screams from both a man and a woman on the night that Pistorius fatally shot Steenkamp. Anette Stipps testimony matched some evidence given by other witnesses who said they also heard a woman screaming around the time that Pistorius killed Steenkamp before dawn on Valentines Day last year. According to Pistorius, he thought Steenkamp was in bed when he fired his 9 mm pistol. He did not describe any woman screaming. The defence has countered that neighbours actually heard Pistorius screaming in a high-pitched voice after he shot Steenkamp. Pistorius has said he shot his girlfriend by mistake through a locked toilet door, thinking she was an intruder in his home. Stipp said she heard what she thought were gunshots on the night of the shooting, and then heard the "terrified, terrified" screams of a woman. Stipp recalled looking out from a balcony at two houses with lights on in the gated estate where her family and Pistorius lived. "There was definitely a female screaming for quite a period," Anette Stipp said. She said she also heard a mans voice. ' ' '
