In the meantime, here is a review from Los Angeles based entertainment producer Chrys Yvette  who saw the show  Your show brought tears to my eyes, especially the 

ending. It was a perfect depiction of the Love childhood

 friends can share to help their families understand the 

impact rejection has on every aspect of their lives. Thank

 you for saying so beautifully what one of my dearest

 friends in the world could not say to us before he left 

this earth. LOVE conquers All.

 ending made us warm and fuzzy."

OK NOW TO THE BITZ THIS WEEK



The NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers were honored with a downtown parade Wednesday in downtown Cleveland as the city celebrated its first major professional sports title since 1964.

From reports, a crowd of approximately 1.3 million packed downtown Cleveland  along the 1.3-mile parade route that took more than four hours to crawl through, concluding with a rally at Mall B.
The Cavaliers ended the city's 52-year title drought on Sunday night by upsetting the defending champion Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena 93-89 in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
"I'm nothing without you all. I love all of y'all," James said to the fans. "Get ready for next year."
The downtown parade, with James and Kyrie Irving riding in style in Rolls-Royces, began outside Quicken Loans Arena before heading up East Ninth Street and to Mall B.
The rally ended with Browns great Jim Brown passing James the Larry O'Brien trophy, a symbolic passing of the torch for Cleveland sports icons.
The parade reportedly featured 60 floats and began with a truck spraying confetti into the crowd and was followed by Ohio State coaches Urban Meyer and Thad Matta and the Buckeyes' marching band. Not far behind were the Lake Erie Monsters, who won the AHL's Calder Cup this season.

We wouldnt be surprised if June 22 becomes a Cavaliers holiday for the city. It was even reported that if people had court dates or parking tickets on that day that they were continued and waived respectively because of the rally! Now that is remarkable for the city that depends on fines and penalties.


As far as the ratings, ticketing, and betting during Game 7, the Cleveland Cavaliers clincher scored 30.8 million total viewers — the biggest tune-in for championship series since Michael Jordan last won a ring in 1998.

More money was also bet on Sunday's decisive game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors than any other NBA game ever, according to multiple veteran Nevada bookmakers.

"Not only was Game 7 the most heavily bet NBA game that I can remember in my 29 years, but Game 6 was the second-most," said Bill Sattler, director of specialty games for Caesars.
 It took three times more bets and three times the handle on Game 7 than it did on its most heavily bet game during the regular season (Golden State at Oklahoma City, Feb. 27). Game 7 was responsible for 28 percent of all the money bet -- spread, total and money-line -- on the NBA Finals at William Hill.
The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook said the betting handle on Game 7 also was a record for its shop. And, three hours before tipoff, more than a million dollars had already been bet on Game 7 at MGM's sportsbooks like Super Bowl type frenzy.
Two seats to Game 7 sold for $49,500 each on Stubhub, a non-suite record in the site's 16-year history. It was also the most-watched NBA game since Game 6 of the 1998 Finals between the Utah Jazz and Chicago Bulls, according to ESPN business reporter Darren Rovell.

This game has definitely broke  records on all ends from the win to the parade and one for the history books. But the question now is, will the Cavs repeat? They definitely have a chance.




In other NBA news, the NBA Draft started this week and a shocker was when Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose has been traded  to the New York Knicks. Along with Rose, the Knicks will get Justin Holiday and a 2017 second round draft pick. The Knicks are sending Robin Lopez, Jose Calderon and Jerian Grant to the Bulls.


“Knowing Derrick as I do makes this trade a hard one. Everyone knows him as the local kid who became MVP for his hometown team, but not everyone got to know him like I did. While he is a terrific basketball player, he is an even better person with a tremendous heart,” Chicago Bulls Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said. “I wish him the best of health for the remainder of his career, and I want to personally thank him for everything that he did on the court and in the community during his time with the Chicago Bulls.”



Lets just hope Rose is healthy to play because he was

plagued with injuries during his tenure with the Bulls.







According to reports, Oprah Winfrey Network’s new

 drama “Greenleaf” still looks like a hit, though perhaps not

 as big a hit as it appeared when the show debuted with a

 special preview on Tuesday.
Settling into its regular night, Wednesday, “Greenleaf” drew

 good numbers but was off quite a bit from its premiere. The

 show aired back-to-back episodes at 9 and 10 p.m., which

 averaged 1.93 million and 2 million total viewers,

 respectively, according to Nielsen overnights.

That was off from a record 3 million for Tuesday’s airing,

 which was the top debut in OWN history. Many speculate 

that the big numbers was because  it enjoyed an exceptional 

lead-in Tuesday with Tyler Perry’s e popular “The Haves and

 the Have Nots.” The drama about a megachurch in Memphis

 aired behind a repeat of its pilot episode at 8 p.m

. Wednesday, which drew less than a third of “Haves’”

 Tuesday rating.







The Miami Heat basketball star Dwyane Wade covers the front of ESPN The Magazine's annual Body Issue, and although he's posing completely nude, he admits he had to build quite a bit of courage to do it.
"I had a fear of being naked in front of others and a fear of being judged," he explained. "So to me, overcoming that is the biggest thing. Someone may look at me and think, 'Why would you have insecurity?' Well, this is real life and I'm human, and these are the things that I deal with that many others might deal with."

One of the biggest factors catering to his insecurities was the fact that he had an outie belly button he feared peers would make fun of if he ever took his shirt off. Thus, he spent much of his younger years covered up, refusing to go in the pool without a shirt or show his stomach in the locker room.
He even denied ESPN's Body Issue for the last seven years because of it, only starting to feel comfortable in his own skin four years ago.
"As you go through life, you get more comfortable with yourself," he said. "It's like everything else with life—you change, you grow. People might think it's simple, but for me it was hard to even feel comfortable walking around naked when it's just me and my wife. So the thought of doing it at a photo shoot in front of people [laughs]—it was like, 'No way ever.'"

An outie navel? That was his insecurity? The part of the body that people rarely notices is what he was insecure of. We wonder if  ESPN Mag airbrushed it because it doesnt look that big....Well, it could have been worse, like an 11th toe, a unibrow or a small "organ" LOL


RIP BITZ


One half of P.M. Dawn ... singer Attrell Cordes, who was best known as Prince Be ... died this week. 
Cordes passed away Friday at his NJ home from kidney disease. He was 46. 
PM Dawn, which also included Cordes' brother, Jarrett, were huge in the early '90s. They're best known for their #1 hit "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss."

It appears Cordes was also living with diabetes. A post on the group's Facebook page read, "Prince Be Rest In Peace forever more, Pain from Diabetes can't harm you anymore."
