Chris Bosh working hard in Miami. Watching a video like this makes me wonder why there was ever any doubt where these guys would sign as free agents.

Brandon Jennings, Nick Young and other NBA players spend their off-season just like you would think they do, by playing a lot of basketball.

A lot of those off-season sessions have taken place at the HAX in Los Angeles this summer. Check the video for more.

It’s good to see Shaun Livingston ball out like this and this might also be the first time we have mentioned Nick Young on this blog.

The Off-season Blog Mailbag

Welcome to the NBA Off-season Mailbag.

This is where you, the readers, get to join in on the bloggin’ fun. We receive a lot of emails from our loyal readers and we try to answer all of you in a timely fashion (WE PROMISE!). We get all kinds of random emails with all kinds of cool links, interesting reads, and intelligent questions and we thank you guys for you loyalty and devotion. 

Some of your emails have been so good we have decided to start a weekly post dedicated to you, our readers. 

We will take our time every Monday (I know, today is not Monday) to answer or post two or three of our favorite emails from that week. 

This weeks most interesting emails:

From reader Jonah: A British dunk contest featuring Team Flight Brothers. (Check out the cartwheel dunk at 0:40 mark, redunkulous!) (LINK)

From reader Mixie: Allan “The Triggerman” Caidic drops 54 points on the NBA Legands team in the Philippines in a game where he shot 14-of-26 from downtown. (LINK)  

That’s all for this week. If you have any questions, suggestions, or links feel free to email us at Playoffsblog@Gmail.com

This is John Wall getting schooled Wednesday in the opening day of Boost Mobile Elite 24 camp in Venice, Calif. by Austin Rivers (aka Doc’s son and a top recruit of the class of 2011).

After Rivers blows by Wall for a layup, he then proceeds to pick his pocket on D.

A little tip, you better hurry up and watch this video before J-Wall pulls a ‘LeBron’ and it mysteriously seizes to exist.

Melo Gets Into The Mike Wise Twitter Mess




Carmelo, I have a Mr. Stern on line 1 for you. Something about a pending 10 game suspension.

*post edit: obviously all of this is fake. DUH. Of course Carmelo doesn’t have a receptionist answering his phone for him. Absurd.

Fear the Internet-Based, Vaguely Intimated Wrath of LeBron
This was from early August — it’s still relevant, I swear — back when ‘Bron ‘Bron gave some wicked ignoramuses their comeuppance via Twitter.  Holly Anderson of SBNation took his initial tweet and ran with it, delivering some gems (including the above) that I’m 94% sure James himself considered at some point or another.  If only he didn’t have such a stellar PR corps.

Does anyone remember the Virginia Squires?

More important, does anyone remember when Ice and Julius Erving were on that team (in ‘72) together? And then the next year Doc went to the Nets, devastating what could possibly have been the greatest duo of the seventies? 

Does anyone remember when Ice and Pistol Pete Maravich faced each other in H-O-R-S-E, and Ice couldn’t finish (as per usual)?

Does anyone remember how Ice would refer to himself in the third person, long before a certain [active] #23 started to?  (The Iceman is also a better nickname than The King; sorry, it’s an irrefutable fact.)

I hope you remember, because a player like that should be hard to forget.
