Welcome to another edition of the weekly sports column, Ballin’ By ya man, AJ ‘AJ Rok’ Woodson.

There is a lot goin on this past week in sports let me just jump right in. Starting with a little NBA  NEWS

FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1999 THE HAWKS ARE IN THE NBA PLAYOFFS

On March 14, the Atlanta Hawks had lost two straight games, were 12 games under .500 and were a half-game out of the Eastern Conference’s final playoff spot. They’ve won 11 of 16 games since and with the Pacers’ loss to the Wizards Monday night Atlanta clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 1999.With two games left in the regular season the Hawks clinched the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference when the Indiana Pacers, the only other team with a mathematical chance, lost at Washington 117-110 Monday night.

T.I.: ‘I know I brought it on myself’

By SONIA MURRAY
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Published on: 04/10/2008 

Late Thursday afternoon Atlanta rapper-actor T.I. granted his first sit-down interview since the convicted felon was arrested for, and pled guilty to, three firearms charges last month.

T.I. has admitted he bought the machine guns and silencers, has 1,000-plus hours of community service to complete, and has been sentenced to an expected 366 days in prison in March 2009. And while the events of Oct. 13, 2007, were off limits, the 27-year-old born Clifford Harris Jr. talked openly about a number of things: from the son he’s expecting to the 24 hours before his life changed.

Here are excerpts from the 30-plus minute conversation the AJC had with him at the Villages at Carver YMCA, right after he spoke to a handful of aspiring teen producers at a FOR ME Inc. workshop:

Q. Who is T.I. — or Clifford Harris, Jr., now?

A. It’s hard to say because a lot of things are the same and a lot of things have changed. I still have a huge amount of passion for what I do. I still have a huge amount of passion for doing what I can for the community. I still have my foundation — remembering where I came from and principles that have been instilled in me. But at the same time I also have an acknowledgement of things that need to be left behind, let go. And also an acknowledgment that there has to be an about-face. A 180-degree turn, in order for us to continue on the path to success.

Q. Do you feel lucky?

Welcome to the inaugural post of the weekly sports column, BALLIN’This has been a crazy busy week in sports, especially the weekend the beginning of the Major League Baseball season, the Men’s and Women’s NCAA Final Four, the race to the playoffs in the NBA and NHL, the upcoming NFL Draft, just to name a few… Let’s see where do I start?NCAA made history as all 4 number 1 ranked teams made it to the Final Four for the first time. Saturday, Kansas defeats UCLA, earning first trip to the national championship in 20 years. Memphis destroys North Carolina. Both coaches seeking their first NCAA title tonight on ESPN. Kansas and Memphis shock the world with their double digit domination over their highly favored oppenents. Kansas will need to find an answer for Memphis’ supersized guards, CDR and Rose if they want to win the national championship. CDR (Chris Douglas-Roberts) 6’-7” and Derrick Rose 6’-3” are running thru this tournament like no backcourt since Rip Hamilton and Khalid El-Amin led Connecticut to the title in 1999. Memphis season is reminiscing of the old UNLV.But with that said,
