Seattle may have horrible weather but it's not really a cesspool like Toronto or the whole of Canada for that matter.

When your superstar wants to finish the game, you let him play.
No wonder Byron Scott got his ass fired eventually.

Hah, love how Byron Scottt just laughs at him, but you can see CP3 is serious. I actually watched the Sonicgate movie just 2 weeks ago. i feel really bad for Seattle, seeing how OKC is one of the teams of the future now.

Chris Paul: WTF coach

Byron Scott: ...

Chris Paul: Plz, Plz

Byron Scott: xD

Chris Paul: fu...

Lolz... Also noticed the most popular post. I had similar thoughts on those guys.

I love chris paul. i also like derrick rose, but he's a different type of point guard. i think that chris is a much better person than rondo, and as a player too. he just loves the game. rondo is just annoying.

heh, i just clicked twice to skim through the video and found both misses

Good form. I shoot kind of like that.

Anybody who wants to improve their shot should look at the ~90 degree angle his shooting arm is at before extension and that he extends his arms up and flicks his wrists rather than pushing or throwing the ball flat at the rim. Basically your release angle should have your arm connecting an imaginary line between your where your shoulder and wrist were at before the release. Not necessarily 45 degrees because the arm and forearm aren't exactly the same length. On another note, you should not play in pants and a hoodie, and you should jump when you shoot.

Pdub yea i found that out the hard way.. Its like my shooting ability has decreased..Is that normal to happen after a period of time? I use to always be the best shooter on the floor hands down, but for the last couple of months my shooting has been like Rondo.. Can you give me some tips?

MJ is asked if he can still dunk at age 48 and obliges:

It looked pretty effortless for a guy who's nearing 50.

End part of the video is amusing considering how the Finals turned out, since the video was made before the start of last season.

The footage was pirated before it was confiscated.
holy smoke machine!

Now there's a gimmick for the dunk contest.

[NovU]

I bet that was 4th quarter.

Seems like it should've been a technical on Iverson for that altercation at 3:59, but The Worm was getting hit with a lot of T's that year, so I guess they figured it was somehow his fault.

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:

Proof that flopping isn't exactly a recent aspect of the game, though I'd still say that back then it wasn't the problem it is now.

Also, I still miss that camera angle from right behind the basket.
