25 Pts, 5 Reb, 7 Ast and the win … Jeremy Lin?? JEREMY LIN!
THE DAILY
Tonight in the NBA.
Song: Madvillian “Meatgrinder”
Kobe Bryant rockin’ some Celtics gear.
Some how I feel like both Lakers fans and Celtics fans are shedding a tear over this, both of them for completely different reasons. Don’t worry Lakers fans, this was during pre-draft workouts. And if you really want to feel good about your fandom, the Celtics passed on drafting Kobe (I’m pret-ty sure of this one) and opted to draft Mr. Shimmy himself, Antoine Walker.
Take a second and imagine just how different the world would have been. Championships, MVPs, and entire seasons would have been altered if Kobe ends up in Beantown instead of Hollywood. What becomes of Shaq? Are Eddie Jones and Nick the Quick enough? Would Kobe have been the star Boston needed to carry on from the end of the Bird era and prevent their 20-year Championship drought? Would Kobe still find delicious playmates to sleep around with? Who knows.
Now only if we can get a picture of Kobe during his New Jersey Nets workout.

Monta Ellis and Corey Maggette engage in the most complex pre-game hand shake of all-time.
I’ve heard that Monta has the most as well as the most complex hand shakes, but this one it ridiculous. It’s so long that it seems like they have to remind each other when to move on to the next step.
I wonder if it comes with instructions…

I’ll accompany this with a mix of the world’s greatest.
“CP3 said the most alley-oops he’d thrown before joining the Clippers was when he played with Tyson Chandler in N’awlins, and Chandler wanted the ball aimed just outside the rim. When Paul arrived in L.A. and talked to Blake, he found out that Blake didn’t want the ball adjacent to the rim. “Instead of throwing right in front of the goal,” CP3 said, “Blake wants it back, really far back.” Paul pointed like a foot outside the rim. (“I try to add some flair to it,” Blake said.)”

Incredible dunk but I can’t tell if that’s LeBron James or George Jefferson?

This only proves that even after winning a championship, some players just don’t know what it takes to win a championship.

More importantly, is Blake “the Quake” Griffin the most ferocious dunker in the league right now? To clarify, do you think players consider him a more intimidating force when rising up towards the basket as LeBron? Or is he simply the master of the “throw down”, arguably a much more impressive move?
Discuss.

It’s okay, Kevin, we all have our own Kyle Krover moment from time to time.

In response to charges of “west coast bias” and in the interests of fostering a broader understanding of rim wreckers, in your face disgraces, and turbo sexophonic delights league-wide, here’s John Wall putting Tyrus Thomas on a poster Saturday night.

This dunk has been reblogged/tweeted/posted more than any other, ever. It even comes in GIF form.
I’m going to go ahead and call the Griffin-on-Perkins dunk ‘The Dunk Seen ‘Round The World’.
