The Chicago Bulls Sing the Hits From the 80s

I know this is a joke ad from the Chicago Bulls but I would seriously consider purchasing this album of the Bulls players singing hits from the 80s. I really REALLY want to hear Brad Miller sing “Physical,” and while I dislike Joakim Noah on the court, but when he starts belting “Jessie’s Girl” I’m hooked.

I could also listen to that Derrick Rose, Tyrus Thomas version of “Ghostbusters” for the rest of my life.

Rajon Goes Over the Backboard

Fresh off agreeing to a 5-year $55 million contract, Rajon Rondo and the 4-0 Celtics took on the woeful Philadelphia 76’ers last night. The Celtics ran the Sixers all over the floor, the Celts were kicking so much ass that their stars like Garnett barely logged any minutes; there simply was no need. One of the highlights of the game was this circus shot from Rondo over the backboard which reminds me of the old clip of Larry Bird doing the same.

Larry’s shot took place when I was all of 4, but I do remember seeing clips of it run constantly during Celts games and I spent a hell of a long time mastering that shot. For the record I fucking OWN that spot just behind the backboard.

D-Wade Plays 1-on-5

Dwyane Wade over the weekend scored his 10,000 point in his NBA career, making him the 43rd player in league history to reach that plateau. He celebrated by taking on all 5 Chicago Bull s and making them look foolish.

Manu Ginobli is Batman

You couldn’t script this better; Halloween featured a full slate of games in the NBA, including one between the Spurs and Kings that featured a surprise flying guest, a bat! In the first quarter the flying mammal swooped down onto the court. While the Spurs mascot tried to corral the creature with a net it took the incredibly fast hands of the Spurs’ Manu Ginobili who, with one quick slap, knocked the bat out of the air and to the ground, so it could be removed from the arena.

Ron Artest Blows My Mind

When I think of Ron Artest, I don’t think compassionate social humanitarian, more often I think of his many misdeeds on and off the basketball court. So to counter that image, here is a totally bizarre and weird rap video from Ron Artest for the women of Afghanistan. There simply aren’t words to describe this. Also, don’t adjust your screen, the video is silent for the first 30 seconds.

Kobe, You Left Phil Hanging

Derek Fisher patiently waits so that he can get a fist bump from his coach prior to tipoff for the Lakers’ title defense run, his patience is rewarded by Phil Jackson giving him an enthused bump.  Phil takes a seat and Kobe walks by, assuming that Kobe would want to acknowledge his coach and get the season started on a good foot Jackson anticipates the bump but there is none forthcoming. Phil recovers though and acts like he never even went for the bump in the first place, but we know what actually happened.

JJ Redick Wants You to Hear His Rap Supergroup

I’m very worried, for the longest time I disliked Magic guard JJ Redick, mostly for his Duke past, the constant media attention on him just made me dislike ever having to see or hear him, but today I find myself actually LIKING Redick. I don’t know what’s going on, I must have swine flu or SIDS or something.

Here he is joking around with reporters about a rap project he’s working on with Marcin Gortat and Ryan Anderson that is all very hush-hush until they release their first single, Waste Management.

Peja Spends a Night in Sienna West *(UPDATED)*

Sienna West 2While on her way to meet New Orleans Hornet Peja Stojakovic, porn star Sienna West made this video showing her excitement to meet the Serbian stud just prior to them presumably banging. I had wanted to post it yesterday but the video was taken off Twitter, fortunately, some smart internet folks grabbed it and made a copy of the video so we can all enjoy it.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

I mean, hooking up with a porn star seems fun and all, but when you have a Greek model wife at home I think it’s unfair. You’re getting greedy. Maybe Peja needs to meet up with Steve Phillips at that secret sex addiction maison.

Peja Spends a Night in Sienna West

New Orleans Hornet Peja Stojakovic is married to Greek model Aleka Kamila, who is, to be blunt, a fucking SMOKESHOW, so it makes perfect sense that while in LA on Friday he met up with Sienna West (right)(link very NSFW), an adult film star who tweeted all about their encounter. Now, I believe in being friendly to new acquaintances and I know things work differently in the adult film world, but when someone tweets:

It doesn’t leave much to imagination does it. Of course, today, Sienna’s twitter account seems to be deleted, despite having posted something as recently as 9 hours ago. Then again, there is also ANOTHER account named “therealwest” that hasn’t been updated since June, so it is possible this is all a scam by some bored twitter-nerd. Regardless, now you have an image of this man’s (left) penis in your brain.

Hey Aleka, if you ever want to get back at him, I’m here for you. We can make magic together.

When Shaq Says Jump, You Say How High

71644779KH002_shaq_china_10_35_10_AMFrom Cleveland.com‘s Cavaliers notebook comes this gem:

Before the game, rookie guard Danny Green was busy making a baton on the orders of O’Neal. He constructed it with two tennis balls and a piece of plastic wrapped in athletic tape. Asked why he was doing it, Green didn’t even look up and answered, “Shaq told me to, I don’t know why and I’m not going to ask.”

No matter what he’s doing, the Big Diesel always manages to entertain.

Talk About Ringing the Bell

Pepperdine Sophomore guard Keion Bell has made a reputation for himself for his athletic abilities and in particular his dunking skills. At the team’s opening event on Friday he made his legend just a little bit bigger when he lined up 5 of his teammates and dunked over them.

I could do that I just don’t because I can’t get 5 people to ever listen to me at a single time. Also, that mascot still creeps me out.

My Name is My NAME!

chrisbosh1After nearly 6 months Toronto Rapto Chris Bosh has finally won his suit against a cybersquatting company that had registered the domain “chrisbosh.com” and nearly 800 other athlete’s names.

Luis Zavala and his company Hoopology.com had registered dozens of domains using various NBA players’ names including stars like Deron Williams, Tayshaun Prince, Rashard Lewis, Danny Granger and Maurice Williams using their celebrity to drive traffic and earn advertising dollars, without the players’ permission.

In her final ruling, Judge Florence-Marie Cooper relinquished control of chrisbosh.com to the Raptors star, as well as giving him possession of the nearly 800 other domain names Zavala had registered.

“I am thrilled that I am able to offer the return of these domain names to a host of other athletes and celebrities whose names were cybersquatted,” Bosh said in a statement Wednesday. “I will offer the return of the domain names free of charge.”

B0sh also won $120,000 in April for the violation of his rights under the U.S. Federal Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act in a California federal court.

Of course, cybersquatting is totally lame, and Chris Bosh shouldn’t have his name being used without his permission but I’m a bit confused as to why the Judge gave Bosh possession over the other domain names, why not just return them to the proper people. Sure, he SAYS he’s going to return them, but what if he decides he hates Andrea Bargnani and just refuses to give it back?
