Hooped Up

Just sit back and enjoy this extra serving of — served, courtesy of this Chauncey Billups alley-oop pass that connects with J.R. Smith  who finishes with a 360-slam dunk on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Hey Kurt Rambis, might I suggest that your squad play, oh I dunno — that thing called defense.

When you, me and Silk Da Shocker hear that nude pics of Trina have been leaked on the internet of course we all think, “That’s Cool“. Trina on the other, is probably not exactly Slipping or Sliding with that whole concept.

The former girlfriend / boo of Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin lost her cell phone and some dude decided “Take It To The House” and share some Tina with the world. Some of the personal pictures leaked are of Kenyon Martin too, but unlike Greg Oden and George Hill. K-Mart wisely decided against taking any au naturel self-portraits.

Carmelo Anthony has this spin move to the basket with a pump at the end, absolutely on lock! See how much success the Portland Trail Blazers had stopping this Melo special after the jump at the 0:21 mark, earlier this season.

It’s scary how precise Carmelo Anthony is with this sweet move.

Yes mister announcer guy who’s name eludes me at this moment. Manu Ginobili did catch a piece of J.R. Earl Smith, but the piece Ginobili caught back from Smith was much worse.

Straight Outta Stu Jackson’s office, the B.W.A. tee from K1X gives some shine to the players in the league that take every single game they play personally. NBA fines are expensive, this t-shirt is not.

So buy one goody two shoes.

You should never get credit for something you’re supposed to do, so really the news that Chauncey Billups was named an all-star should really be old news at this point. That’s right, I said it!

Sentimentality had nothing to do with his (David Stern) decision Wednesday to add Nuggets point guard Chauncey Billups to the Western Conference All-Star team. It was more about logic and common sense.

“Chauncey Billups should feel like Obama in the presidential election. This, to me, is a fairly lopsided vote,” Denver coach George Karl said before the decision became official. “There’s some great guards out there. But we have the second-best record (in the West) and the man, in the last six weeks, has played better than the guys on the All-Star team. I think it’s somewhat of a no-brainer.”

Mr. Big Shot is having another stellar campaign as a floor general, averaging a healthy career-high 19.2 points and 6.1 assists with the 33-16 Denver Nuggets. The addition of Billups to the western conference all-star squad, fills the void left by an injured Chris Paul.

People who attended Duke University are pretty smart, so I bet Grant Hill added “dunking in posters or getting dunked on in posters” to the whole “for better or worse, for richer or poorer” part of his marriage vows. That stroke of genius has kept his fine lady off his back after getting served since 1999.

Too bad he kinda looked like Tamia defending Joey Graham on this dunk.

Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin is $38,000 poorer due to a Monday ejection. Martin was fined $35,000 by the NBA on Tuesday for antics involved with his second-quarter ejection against Charlotte. He already had been assured of a $1,500 penalty for each of two technicals.

After receiving the technicals and being ejected by official Ken Mauer with 2:27 left in the first half, Martin slowly walked off the court with a big smile on his face. He mockingly clapped in an attempt to urge on the fans. And he stopped to adjust his uniform.

Martin, often penalized in his 10-year career, expressed surprise after the game in the locker room about the ejection, and said it was among the least he’d ever acted up to get tossed.

If Emeka Okafor is allergic to nuts, this mean put back dunk by Kenyon Martin off a Chauncey Billups miss, most likely caused swelling on Okafor’s back. Make this be a lesson to you kids out there. If you don’t box out, you’ll end up with nuts on your back and a Spalding crown on your head.

When I woke up this morning, I really didn’t expect to see Chris Andersen selling me on buying a mattress. But maybe I shouldn’t be so closed minded, because by golly the Birdman wants me to buy a mattress for a Slamming Price for some Slamming Savings.

If this mattress comes with tattoos and reduces back pain, you have yourself a bargain Mr. Birdman!
