• Dwyane Wade tosses Mike Bibby’s shoe into the first row during Game 2 (VIDEO)

  In NBA

  Most NBA players will do just about anything to gain an advantage in the heat of battle, and the Heat’s Dwyane Wade is no exception.  When Wade comes across Knicks guard Mike Bibby’s wayward shoe early in the second quarter of Game 2 of the Heat/Knicks playoff series, he does the only thing appropriate for the situation—he tossed said shoe into the stands.

  Well, the first row anyway.  Being shoeless didn’t seem to bother Bibby, as he made the outlet pass to J.R. Smith (who completed a nice little alley-oop to Tyson Chandler) before retrieving his sneaker. Read more ›

• ESPN’s terrific new ad features Michael Jordan, just not THAT Michael Jordan

  In NBA

  Having an ordinary name that is neither famous nor exciting, I have no idea what it must be like for those people that share their name with a celebrity.  Does it get you perks that would normally be reserved only for the rich and famous, or does it get you nothing but disappointing looks from people hoping that it’s that person that’s not you.

  That exact scenario is the premise of ESPN’s new “It’s Not Crazy, It’s Sports” campaign, and in this commercial Michael Jordan, a man who seems to be the exact opposite of THE Michael Jordan, is met with disapproving reactions from deflated people who were expecting the retired basketball star, only to find a balding, paunchy, accountant-type fellow with glasses and a pronounced lack of hoops skills and tongue wagging.

• Here’s Blake Griffin’s ridiculous circus shot that didn’t count for squat (VIDEO)

  In Featured, NBA

  Late in the third quarter of the Clippers 109-94 win over the Kings, Blake Griffin got away on a partial fast-break that would have led to an easy basket had Sacramento forward Donte Green not flagrantly fouled the streaking Griffin, knocking him to the floor.  As he’s going down in a heap Griffin throws up a prayer of an awkward shot that lo and behold goes in, yet, when all is said and done, doesn’t count for squat because the refs ruled that Green’s foul occurred before the shot.

  Still, fortuitous shot or not, this is just further proof that Blake Griffin is very good at basketball.

  Suck on that, Lob City. Read more ›

   

• Joakim Noah videobombs CSN’s Gail Fischer with some funky dance moves

  In Featured, NBA

  CSN reporter Gail Fischer was on air discussing Joakim Noah’s impressive 19-point, 12-rebound performance against the Pistons on Friday night when lo and behold Noah himself emerges from the Bulls locker room, saunters up behind her and, unbeknownst to Fischer, proceeds to bust-a-funky-move.  End result—a classic Joakim Noah videobomb.

  Not sure where Noah cultivated those dance moves from.  Looks a little like Adam West’s Batusi from the old Batman TV series, as performed by a tall, lanky basketball player of Swedish and French descent.  Also Noah’s wearing more denim than a Canadian kid going to his high-school prom.

• Here’s video of LeBron singing ‘Super Freak’ at Shane Battier’s karaoke event

  In Featured, NBA

  Tuesday night Heat forward Shane Battier hosted his somewhat annual “Battioke” event, a fundraiser featuring Battier’s celebrity friends singing their little celebrity hearts out.  Sounds like it would be a fun night, and any time you can get the chance to see LeBron James don a Rick James wig and sing Super Freak you know you’re in for a treat.

  Unfortunately the only video available at the time of any of the participants showing off their karaoke skills was Pat Riley’s awful rendition of My Girl.  Of course the one everyone wanted to see was LeBron getting his Super Freak on, but no video of the tremendous moment was available.

  Until now. Read more ›

   

• Here’s Samuel L. Jackson announcing the Hornets-Clipper starting lineups

  In Featured, NBA

  Chris Paul made his return to New Orleans Thursday night, his first as a member of the Los Angeles Clippers, so the Hornets went all out for the occasion by having Hollywood heavyweight Samuel L. Jackson announce the starting lineups.  Of course Jackson performed the feat as his most famous movie character, Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction.  What, did you think he’d  just stand there as Samuel L. Jackson and read the players’ names off the lineup cards?

  Pfft, amateurs. Read more ›
