The Maloofs: Most Trusted Guys In Skateboarding

The Maloof’s have it all. The Palms Casino is one of the baddest places to blow all of your hard earned money in Vegas. Not only can you play with a bunch of shiny shirt, Ryan Cabrera looking bros on the intimate casino floor, but you can get a $50,000 a night hotel suite complete with a bowling alley and swimming pool. Or maybe choose the MTV Real World hotel suite that probably has a residual sour smell. Then they own a Maloof Productions, which primarily focuses on developing reality based TV shows for the ever so fitting Spike TV. Maloof Productions will soon venture off into film with a company called Maloof Motion Pictures. Maybe they can do a film about bros doing push ups. And finally there were the Sacramento Kings. Once the premiere crap NBA team of the entire league until the Maloofs took hold of them. In a short amount of time, they turned one of the most depressing teams (and cities) into a championship contender (thank you Lakers for never letting that happen).
So what’s next for the Playboy Billionaires from Las Vegas? If you thought they were going to venture into Pogs, you’re wrong. Skateboarding is in their midst and these clever brothers, who I’m sure know everything about skateboarding have decided to take “the sport” to the next level by having the face, Ryan Sheckler of course, promote something never been done before. A $500,000 cash prize in the first ever Maloof Money Cup. No that wasn’t a typo but that’s is just freakin nuts. The event will take place on July 11-13th in my favorite shiny shirt bro region in the world, Orange County California. Someone’s life is about to change and I hope it’s Tommy Sandoval.
