// PRESENTED by Samia Khan
This is a story about a girl who ends up “selling out” because she wanted to appear like she belonged at the ESPY Awards after party…(beyond just looking like a Basketball Wife.) And yes, that girl would be me. Samia Khan. Now, before you gossip-lovers jump to conclusions that I got wasted or hooked up …
The other day, I told someone they got played… specifically saying something to the extent of… “He played you like a Laker.” (Loose summary: she had high hopes, was let down in the end… yeah, you get it.) Then, because my mind works in a very tangential sense, I started trailing off and next thing …
What happens when you @mention a former NBA player on Twitter, who just so happens to have gone to your high school? You end up becoming Twitter friends and getting dinner the next time he’s in town. First things first… the NBA player? Bruce Bowen (most notable for winning three NBA championships in the early …
Knock knock. Who’s there? Ron Artest. Ron Artest who? Ron Artest the comedian. Okay okay, I know that wasn’t the best joke you’ve ever heard… but um, that’s because it’s not a joke.

Before I continue…yes, the title of this blog post is a reference to an early-90’s, multi-hit-wonder-of-a-rapper who went bankrupt. Don’t judge me. Please continue reading… How many Winter Olympians are you Facebook friends with? OK now how many of those actually have a gold and silver medal? Now whether I’m really friends with snowboarder Hannah …

I was part the of studio audience during Justin Timberlake’s Jimmy Kimmel taping this evening. It was… magical? I don’t get starstruck. I mean in my industry, you really …
I have like 4-5 other “Khanversation Piece”-worthy stories, but this one can’t wait. OK so, as most of you already know (because of a certain facebook picture/status/tweet,) I met Kobe Bryant yesterday.
