That flop was ok imo. It's not like Barkley was driving to the basket to flop or defending Malone.

Yeah, I'd file that particular one under gamesmanship.

I decided to check out some drazen footage. Admire the greatest that was Scottie Pippen in his prime. Looking back I preferred basketball 20 years ago when it was played quicker, more ball movement & less selfish. Just a pleasure to watch. No wonder everybody ends up loving teams like '02 Kings & more recent Suns.

And yes, I know the Nets played no D, but hey, that's beside the point

And since everybody loves the 1994/95 Lakers with Al-Star Cedric Ceballos and rookie Eddie Jones

Drazen had the balls to go against Jordan.


That Knicks-Bulls matchup reminded me again how John Starks sucked.


Sedale Threatt! Chucky Brown! Elden Campbell when he was still mobile! Even a decent showing by Sam Bowie! Nice.

She could've won the 2010 contest.

Little girl that wants to play basketball. Does that mean she's going to be a lesbian?

1 hour, seriously? I know there's a lockout but 1 hour for that?

You could have saved everyone the trouble of waiting for YouTube to buffer a 1 hour long video (and another 1 hour to watch it) by downloading the video from YouTube and then uploading it to a file sharing site.

You should have posted the only video that matters from that game:

oh God that hairline

He needs to learn a thing or two on how to take care of hair from Dirk.

Well... Here's my video. Just ran into it.

So what do you guys think how the NBA was, last season with the new technical foul rule. Less emotional celebration? Less complaining? For sure, but I don't think it made the league more interesting and marketable.

I wouldn't say it ruined the game, but it certainly didn't enhance it when those petty technicals were called and the inconsistency made the approach look even worse. The league needs to back away from it a little.

I was hoping the league would do something about it sooner than later, but seemingly nothing has been done to correct that I guess. If Stern decides to keep this rule alive, I am thinking it'd hurt a lil his already bad-rep(at least for me).

Anyways, here's a new video... I like how Gomez screams like a bitch. Other than that I don't see anything special from this vid...

It's no news that teen pop sensation Justin Bieber can hoop. His performance in the celebrity game on All Star Weekend last February was quite impressive. But All Star guard Steve Nash apparently didn't get the memo, as Bieber celebrated Labor Day by doing some serious work on his Canadian countryman:

We know the Suns don't play defense, but sheesh. And to add insult to injury, Nash had to watch helplessly as Bieber finished his drive and then got a cute cheer from girlfriend Selena Gomez. Wince.

The only thing Nash can fall back on is the fact that this happened at a charity event in Atlanta sponsored by Ludacris. Too bad Biebs treated the 37-year-old like a charity case.

How nice, Steve Nash went easy defending that girl.

that reverse layup looked awkward as fuck

LMAO That's her mating call

"Let him hold it". The hell with that, that was a disgraceful display.

I don't get it.

I mean, if they were up, it's sensible if unsporting, but when you're down? What?

I guess they figured they weren't going to make up the deficit (in which case they were probably right), so they decided to run out the clock and make a farce of it. I'd still call it unsporting, a case of being sore losers.

I say Props to the coach for coming up with a play that's never been done before.

There's a reason it's never been done before. It won't win too many games when you're down 26-0.
