Hooped Up

While the Washington Wizards announcers giggling like little school girls with ringlets in their hair and the players were chilln’ Shannon Brown was all bidness and managed to pass all five Wizard defenders for a putback dunk off an Andrew Bynum missed freethrow attempt.

Laugh about that announcer man.

All season-long Shannon Brown has been dunking on fools and the “Let Shannon Dunk” campaign has been rolling.

Today the NBA announced he’ll get a chance to show his ridiculous hops in the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest along with Nate Robinson, Gerald Wallace and a fourth player to be determined through a “dunk-off” between Clippers guard Eric Gordon and Raptors rookie swingman DeMar DeRozan. The dunk contest takes place Feb. 13 at American Airlines Center in Dallas.

Check out Brown’s body of work from the 09′-10′ season thus far.

LeBron, what’s the word dude?

If you say that Fox Sports Net West doesn’t go behind the scenes  to give you a different perspective on athletes. That statement would be deemed false. Watch this video and look to the right, don’t worry nobody will judge your sexuality at the end — unless you’re wearing a bedazzled cape while watching this.

What the what??? Fittingly, the name of this track is called “So Yesterday” by Toni Braxton because I had no idea until today that it existed thanks to Mrs. Hooped Up. If your like me and you don’t have a Toni Braxton widget on your iPhone. It’ll be news to you too that when Toni Braxton gets her video heart broken by Shannon Brown who’s messing around on her with Brooke Hogan. Ron Artest is there to grab the defensive rebound aka her heart.

I’m just gonna go ahead and bi-pass the standard Dallas Mavericks jokes on this one, but if you have a few clever ones please share them with the class.

Oh My Damn!!! I already knew Shannon Brown had hops and both Mikki Moore and I were reminded of this fact during preseason. But this put back dunk Brown made off of a Kobe Bryant missed shot, was ridiculous! I have never seen a ball bounce this high in the aftermath of a dunk ever.

See another angle of this crazy dunk after the jump.

If Shannon Brown reads Hooped Up, I would imagine that immediately after cramming this offering down The Birdman’s throat, he screamed “Line your cage with that Birdman!”

At least I know I would.

The man and the moustache Adam Morrison is headed west to the Lakers after Larry Brown got his third trade wish of the season granted.

The deal has the Lakers receiving Adam Morrison and reserve Shannon Brown while the Bobcats receive Vladimir Radmanovic in exchange. Adam Morrison hasn’t worked out for the Bobcats since being drafted 3rd overall in the 2006 draft and Vladimir Radmanovic has been in Phil Jackson’s dog house so often he receiving mail there. 

A quick way to find yourself on the move with Larry Brown is lack of defensive play and Adam Morrison supplied that on a nightly bases as a Bobcat. But, with a deep Lakers squad his strengths can be used sparingly. 

Radmanovic brings some depth to both forward spots for the Bobcats and provides an outside shooting presence as long as he’s not snowboarding.

Currently, the Lakers have a the best record in the west and the Bobcats are 5 games out of a playoff spot in the east.
