MVPs: Kobe & LeBron - Chalk



Here's a Nike Basketball ad featuring one puppet as LeBron and another as Kobe. Called Chalk for a reason...

You're Only as Good as Your Dance Squad



The Denver Nuggets are up 3-0 on the Mavs and the Nuggets Dance Squad is damn good too. Pretty ridiculous that the cheerleaders are probably the worst dancers in this entire video...

Yao Ming to Miss Rest of the Playoffs


Yao Ming will miss the remainder of the playoffs thanks to a broken foot. The Lakers should start their bench to make it a fair series now.

...and Now We State the Obvious


CLEVELAND (AP) -- A person with knowledge of the choice tells The Associated Press that Cleveland's LeBron James has won the NBA's Most Valuable Player award.
James, who led Cleveland to a team record 66 regular-season wins and the top overall seed in the playoffs, will receive the award Monday afternoon at Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, his alma mater, says the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official announcement has not been made.
James is the first Cavaliers player to win the award.
The24-year-old averaged 28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists this season, his sixth as a pro. He also finished second in voting for defensive player of the year.

Some of the Worst Radio Announcing Ever



So...I'm guessing that Atlanta's radio announcers don't like Dwayne Wade...Usually, home team radio announcer's root for their team. But these guys just found a new low.

When Dwyane Wade blocked Maurice Evans from behind, Holman yelled, "He did not go for the ball, he hit him right in the back and knocked Mo Evans down!" Holman yelled. "Dwyane Wade tried to hurt Mo Evans!" The league apparently disagreed, rescinding Wade's flagrant foul on Thursday.

Later in the game, Al Horford was fouled when making a move to the basket, turning his ankle as he landed and writhing in pain. "Oh my goodness, the Heat have resorted the thuggery!" exclaimed Holman. Actually, no; as Horford later admitted, "I just came down very awkward, that's all." (So awkward, incidentally, that he's been ruled out for tonight's game.)

Joakim Noah's Dunk on Paul Pierce



This made my night :)

And there was this scrap up between two lovers who are trying to be fighters.



If Rondo gets suspended, Game 7 won't be going into overtime.

Ron Artest Remebers that Fateful Night at the Palace



...and Yao is really funny! As Artest left the table, Yao turned to him and said, "I'll see you inside the club."

What happened to the Hornets???


The Nuggets tied an NBA record for the largest margin of victory when they annilated the Hornets by 58 points last night, 121-63. The last time a team was blown out by that much, well...you would have to back to the days of 1956 when the Lakers were not known as the LA Lakers, but rather the Minneapolis Lakers.

Thaddeus Young's Fumble...err Game Winner



If he didn't lose that ball, the Magic would have taken the game into OT

New Philadelphia 76ers Shirts


You 76ers better be careful, or Shaq and his crew are going to come after you for defacing Superman signs. The 76ers should wear their St. Patrick's day jerseys for show.

Ray Allen's Game Winner [Sigh...]



I had the same reaction as KG...except I was mad at Ray Allen.

Kendrick Perkins Smacktalk


Kendrick Perkins should probably focus on getting the Celtics to start playing 2008 Celtic basketball instead of talking smack about Derrick Rose (aka your soon to be Rookie of the Year).

"Everybody has their night," Perkins said, according to the Associated Press. "I know it won't happen again. He'll never have another game like that against us."
