Hooped Up

Here is a clip of Michael Jordan shattering a backboard in european play in slow motion like a P.Diddy video. Oh ya, today somebody won a medal in some sport in the Olympics for some country.  

Baaackboard, you made my dayiyay!

A collection of some of the best dunks is good. A collection of some of the worst dunks is better. Here’s Travis Outlaws contribution to the ugliness to kick things off. The rest of the countdown is over at On 205th.

In the famous words of Tony Montana “In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women”. Besides the prize money Dwight Howard won in this years dunk contest he didn’t need, the power he already has as one of the NBA’s elite, and the women he’s already got going his way. The only thing he took that Tony forgot to mention, was the respect. The respect factor has been all but gone until Howard stepped it up this year to finally win, which made this edition of the dunk contest way better that previous years.

Now imagine the creativity that would happen if a few D-League talents had a chance on a big stage to take the dunk crown from guys accepting NBA paychecks. The respect factor would take on a whole new level of importance and guys who need the money, power, women and respect would definitely bring in the next level.

Rajon play is really proving that “Sam I Am” will have a challenge cracking the starting line up. The Celtics supporting cast, has just been getting better and better each week!

Like a “trainwreck” or as the kids say an “Amy Winehouse” the camera lad held on for as long as possible on this one.

Jason Richardson’s hops are just fine, ask Manu.
