I see you, Noah.
Kevin Durant won the NBA's H.O.R.S.E. tourney yesterday, something I totally missed. For his troubles, he won a trophy (plaque?) with a mini pony on it. I need to get one of these made for the person who submits the best future MPotD.
Picture ripped directly from Deadspin this morning. Not even ashamed about it.
Last month, there was tons of hoopla surrounding a fake Twitter page that claimed to be from Shaquille O'Neal. It ended up being exposed as a farce, but it forced the real Shaq's hand, and made The Big Aristotle open his own, official Twitter page. You can read it here.
The Diesel is using a combination of text messages and computer typing to update his ever-changing status, and it's apparent that he made the right career choice. Writing isn't his strong suit, but he did throw out some support to a certain, beleaguered Steeler via text message.
November 30 - Did u c hit dat hit yan clark put on wes walker
I'm guessing "yan clark" is Steelers safety Ryan Clark, whose hit was just defended by league official Mike Pereira.
See, Shaq didn't find the hit dirty enough to get mad at Clark. If only everyone else in the world would just listen to Shaq Fu.
Jerome What?
Jerome "The Bus" What?
I'll admit, Ray Allen has always been one of my favorite NBAers. This just ups his coolness in my eyes.
A TMZ photog hounded Ray after leaving a club in L.A. Said photog didn't know Jerome Bettis' last name, causing Allen and his crew to stop what they were doing and harass the ignorant paparazzi. Bennis? Bennett?
Ray was on my shit list recently. As much as I hate Boston, I was cool with watching both Ray and KG win a ring (PP, too). Despite my love for the individuals, they still helped Boston's ego expansion (if that's even possible at this point) with the championship. But the main thing...I'll still bust out NBA 2K7 on the 360 just to play with Seattle. Ray, Rashard Lewis, Chris Wilcox, Squatch. I tried last night and Ray Allen let me down. Big time. Like 2-12 on threes or some Larry Hughes-type nonsense. I swore a lot.
Luckily for Ray, he was caught on video defending Steelers legend Bettis. I shall forget the brick after brick simply for this two minute long glimpse into Allen's life.
Thank you, TMZ. You have restored my faith in Ray Allen.
I needed to post this video because, well, its amazing.
I die every time I see him THROW the ball through the hoop. No one should be that tall or be able to jump that high.
Smiles all around when they show the side view.
Who said the dunk contest was a joke?
NBA-what? I probably just lost a whole buncha readers.
Pittsburgh and NBA aren't readily associated entities. Unless, of course, we're talking about Kevin Pittsnogle and the Xplosion, or the defunct Pittsburgh Ironmen.
PSaMP just found it interesting that the Memphis Grizzlies hired The Notorious B.I.G. as their new General Manager. In fact, Biggie held the same position in the Celtics organization prior to taking the job in Memphis. Its amazing! I'm learning new stuff every day!
