There are surely many ways to botch a trampoline dunk at an NBA game, but a fan at Portland TrailBlazer's game show us smashing one's head into the rim is a particularly brutal and embarrassing variation.
Then think this poor guy has to take the LONG walk back to his seat & for the rest of the game listen to people laughing while think "I’m now a you tube star" NOT your way to be famous for five minutes but I’d rather this than being in the big brother house........
So like alot of NBA fans at this time of year only means one thing ALL STAR WEEKEND & the best part of that would be the dunk contest.This years line up on paper looked nice (even though it was mean to boost one LeBorn James this year). Nate Robinson, Shannon Brown, Gerald Wallace & Demar DeRozen. The dunks started but nothing to make you stand up & wake up & shout & that's my point. What happened to spark? meanwhile the D League dunk contest(like the 2nd division in football)was a WOW each dunk..
Next year things need to step it up! Maybe NBA Vs The D League? Get the X factor judges to mark them? something. But props goes to nate for winning for the 3rd time which hasn't been done before. not bad for a 5'9 player
I saw this story over on TheRapUp....Apparently those nasty blacks are ruining the good old game of basketball, so one "canny" boxing promoter in Augusta USA has come up with an ingenious alternative to the NBA. Imagine a league where the players just play the "good, old" type of bball, where the players are all "wholesome" characters. Well you could be part of this, oh, well as long as both of your parents are caucasian!
I guess it could work, I mean just looking through some comments on related YouTube videos there are a few valid points made, there would be no guns in dressing room lockers, no nappy headed hoes at games (hold tight Don Imus), instead of dunk competitions they could have lay up contests!
Well let's hear from the man himself...big shout to Donald Trump's barber who has done a sterling job on this dudes syrup too.
So there you go...would this ever be a popular idea? What would be the equivalent if we switched it around? A blacks only swimming club? hmm...what happened to Eric the Eel?!
From back in the day watching Spike Lee aka Brooklyn & Michael Jordan "it's gotta be the shoes" ads to The Nike freestyle ad & even the latest Hyperize 80s Rap group spoof & the Nike 6.0 skateboard ad with Ice Cube Nike always seem to understand there audience & are just funny to watch.
This is no different, Lebron & Kobe puppets with Krs 1 as Santa, take on a trash talking Lupe Fiasco as Blitzen
Enjoy
There's a reason Patti LaBelle offered to sing the anthem in exchange for two tickets -- although she ultimately passed, unable to get out of a prior engagement. There's a reason you couldn't hear the PA guy after he said, "a six-foot guard, from Georgetown, number 3," as the crowd roared & lost itself,
THE ANSWER IS BACK IN PHILLY.... (said in the style of the Rock)
Sad to say that A.I's former team the Denver Nuggets weren’t feeling as sentimental & dealt the Sixer's there 10th loss in a row. Some reports say this was Iverson's last chance at playing at this level!! I disagree all he had to do at his retirement press conference was put his ego in check & say “I just play my part to help a team towards winning a ring” & his phone would have been ringing with offers.
So Halloween has passed and seems to be getting bigger and wilder every year (in this country at least). I'm sure a few of you had some crazy costumes and maybe even pulled some funny stunts. For the best trick of the night though we go to the NBA for a game played on Halloween between Sacremento and the San Antonio Spurs.
So the Spurs are up by 3 points in the first quarter, Sacremento are on the attack, when the referee blows to pause play because a bat (how apt) has flown onto the court. In no time at all after play is held, Manu Ginobili swats the bat out of mid-air before picking it up and handing it to an official! If you don't believe me check the video and pic below.
As a precautionary measure Ginobili has been vaccinated for rabies but it is not thought that he has caught anything (apart from the bat). There are mixed reports about what happened to the bat but it looked pretty dead to me.
First things first, just in case there's any dyslexic West Ham fans reading, calm down...this is NBA Star Kevin Garnett's name on a Chelsea shirt, not Alf Garnet..we know he loved the 'ammers!
So...as far as mashups go i'd give this one a "hmm it's ok". Putting aside my dislike for Chelsea my main criticisms would be...
1. This is last years shirt
2. I would have liked something a bit more to be done to the shirt, not just Garnett's name and number
3. Sorry i just can't put my bias aside...if this was Liverpool i'd probably love it!
(click picture to enlarge)
On the plus side though i'm liking the subtle details on the trainers such as the shirt number and the team emblem. Would I wear them though?....No!
I'll hang on for the Usain Bolt x Liverpool FC
Hip Hop & basketball go way back like the 8 track or if your younger VHS.
Rappers want to be ballers (Master P, Snoop & The Game to name a few)
Players want to try there hand at the Hip Hop Game (Shaq, Kobe,Chris Webber)
So the clever people at Nike made a throwback Rap group from NBA players (just for the advert) & got it produced by non other than Dj Quik (not even explaning if you don't know who is is shame on you) & Called them "Hyperizers"
Fog Raw is Mo Williams
Velvet Hoop is Kevin Durant
Chief Blocka is Andre Iguodala
Ice-O is Rashard Lewis
baddest advert out there at the moment don't you agree??
With the NBA finals all done & dusted (well done Kobe Magic coaching staff what were you thinking) the attention now turns to the draft & Trade mayhem & this year didn’t disappoint.
First off the big trades Shaq has moved to the Cavs to Quote “Get a ring for the king!” Vince Carter has moved to the Magic & with that Hedo Turkoglu said no thanks & moved the Raptors. Ron Artest & Trevor Ariza swapped jerseys Laker & Rockets(I would have love to have heard kobe reaction when he heard that news) Rasheed Wallace has decided late Sunday night to join the Green three at the Celtics. This should make for an interesting year for the East.
On a lighter note Shaq sings (well Britney Spears lip sinks) to Akon after signing for the Cavs.
Enjoy
Six 3 aka The Coach!
