Knocked unconscious according to the recap. Gotta love the commentators though, irritably asking "What is he doing?" as though he's just having a rest.

[dare]

And they continue playing around Melo even if he is sleeping

[Patr1ck]

He definitely turned rubbery after the initial contact with Durant. You can see him kind of wobble a bit and the back of his head also hits Kevin Durant's left shoulder as he goes down.

[shadowgrin]

The refs are stupid. If they thought Melo was being an ass they should have at least called a technical on him. Even if it was a wrong call it might have given the doctors a chance to look on Melo's condition.
J.R. Smith is also/still a grade-A moron.

[buzzy]

I still like how it looks like he's just taking a good nap with big ol' grin on his face at around 2:50

But yeah, horrible decisions by the refs, shoulda called something. Just because it wasn't an move with high impact doesn't mean that nothing's happened.
I just wonder how long they'd have continued to let them play on if the travel on Smith wasn't called.

[Patr1ck]

"The last call, was never whistled, the ball was blocked, not a travel..." or something like that according to the referee in the video.

Absolutely, in a situation like that I think it has to be an automatic timeout and the player tended to. It's potentially a danger to everyone on the court, let alone the player lying on the floor.

that was naaaasty

[Andrew]

Nasty indeed. As for him hanging on the rim, in that situation it can certainly be excused. Otherwise, he could've ended up like Andrew Bogut.

[shadowgrin]

I thought Jao posted a video of Marion and Kidd during their Phoenix days. Forgot they play in Dallas now. Who did Kaman pass it to, don't know who is that.

[deihatein]

Who did Kaman pass it to, don't know who is that.

That must be Steve Blake

[shadowgrin]

Thanks. My memory of current NBA rosters is a bit hazy currently after playing so much legends (default and 2Kshare) in 2K10.

He's so great, they don't even need to spell his name right.

[shadowgrin]

That NBA Players Association thing got me curious...

... who knew James Jones has a head for numbers...

[Andrew]

Just when you thought the 2010 NBA Dunk Contest couldn't be shown up any further...

A 6'2" high school player tops pretty much every entry in the contest, in a game no less.

[JaoSming]

ouch, that was nasty

[Abctest123]

Weird situation in the GS-Portland game:

It's cool to see that finally happen, even though it required some Nellification.

lol

[Murat]

Wtf happened here? So what exactly happened with Melo there?

And they continue playing around Melo even if he is sleeping

Not sleeping, dying.

A side by side comparison between the original Gatorade commercial and MessenjahMatt's re-creation. Due to certain limitations a few things had to be changed from the original commercial, like old MJ's uniform, the court.. etc.

[Andrew]

That's still pretty awesome, he did a fantastic job.
