Lakers' Xavier Henry Dunks All Over the Pelicans (WOW)

I meant to post this up yesterday but got distracted.  It's good enough that I still had to post it.  It's definitely one of the better dunks of the fresh NBA season.  I've seen a few nasty dunks from Henry already so he is someone to watch for this year for some serious highlights.  The Lakers suck so he should continue to get plenty of playing time all year for these types of plays.  Here's another bonus dunk from a few weeks back. Dude has seriously quick hops!

Jeff Green's AMAZING Buzzer-Beater vs Miami Heat (NASTY)

This is a couple days late obviously but I had to throw it up since I still can't believe this happened.  No one even expected the Celtics to be competitive against the Heat, yet alone win this game.  They probably should have lost by about 20 had the Heat actually tried a little harder and not played to the level of their opponent (a classic old school C's move) but it happens once in awhile when playing a crappy team.  The C's also played great all game and kept themselves in it so this was just the icing on the cake. 

Had Wade just hit one free throw or even hit the rim on the second one, the game is over.  The Heat really screwed this one up multiple times.  I'll take the win though.  There aren't going to be many positive moments like this for the Celtics this season so I will take whatever I can get.  That's three wins in a row, including another solid win against Orlando on Friday.  Who saw that coming!?!?

I almost forgot about Green's sick dunks too.  Dude is finally starting to turn it around.  That's what we need!

"Hello Paul" - Pierce's Introduction to Brooklyn (COOL)

I have to admit that it's been tough watching Pierce and Garnett play for another team this season but I wish them nothing but the best and hope they can both get one more ring before they retire in a few years.  We all knew the rebuilding had to happen sooner than later in Boston but it's never easy to let go of your favorite players, especially those that helped bring another championship to town. 

It's nice to see Pierce embracing his new home in Brooklyn.  I'll be rooting for them all season as my "second team" after the Celtics.  It should be fun to see them playing with more talent around them again with a good chance at getting another ring before all is said and done...

NBA 2K14 Next-Gen "OMG" Trailer (SICK GRAPHICS)

Wow!  NBA 2K14 for the next-gen consoles looks ridiculous!!!  I always thought it would be difficult to improve on the graphics and gameplay of the current sports titles but NBA 2K14 for the XBox One & Playstation 4 looks like it is going to prove me wrong. 

It literally looks like you are watching a live game and the simulated moves and gestures of the players are dead on.  I wanted to hold out on getting a new console to let them work out the problems that new consoles always seem to have but I don't know if I can wait with games looking like this. 

Ben McLemore's Slow-Mo Dunk Show (DOPE)

I didn't know Ben McLemore had hops like this.  These dunks are very impressive for his size.  He's listed at 6'5" but I feel like he's closer to 6'3" at the most.  Either way, he can throw down with authority and it's possible we might be seeing him in the dunk contest this year.  Impressive. 

Brooklyn Nets Mascot Airballs Dunk Attempt & Gets Ball Stuck Under Shot Clock (HORRIBLE)

This might be the worst mascot dunk attempt I've ever seen.  I know it's still only the preseason and everyone is working out the kinks but this is just bad.  I'm pretty sure I could do better with that without even practicing once.  I hope dude gets his act together before the season starts or he is going start getting heckled like the original Lucky at the Garden.  That dude was the WORST!!!

NBA Cameraman's Foot Falls Asleep; Hilarity Ensues (CLASSIC)

Props to this dude for trying to play it off all cool but there is no way you can recover from a sleepy foot when you are carrying a huge camera that probably weighs a good 20+ pounds.  I wonder how long it took for the pins and needles to go into effect and if he was still filming.  There is nothing worse than when that feeling when you can't even move a muscle or else it will feel like you got shot in the leg or foot and you are going to be screaming in pain.  Dude might want to reconsider his sitting position for the rest of the season...

adidas Originals - 'The House of Mutombo' Animated Video (PURE AWESOMENESS)

This promo for the adidas Mutombo shoe is awesome on so many levels.  The crude animation is great but the narration by Mutombo with his awesome accent and deep ass voice takes it to the next level.  I actually think this is perfect, although I'd love to see the long form version like a movie that goes through all of Dikembe's life highlights, including a party where he yells out "Who wants to sex Mutombo?!?!".  Nice work, adidas. 

Here's an awesome highlight video of Dikembe's classic blocks and finger wags which also includes an awesome narration by the man himself.  I can't get enough of his voice and accent.  

Insane Bounce Alley-Oop from Jason Williams During Exhibition in Taiwan (WOAH!)

Jason Williams aka White Chocolate aka J-Will was ballin' outrageous in Taiwan back in June (no idea why this is just coming out now) and threw one of the best and most difficult alley oop passes I've ever seen with this nasty bounce oop.  His creativity is unreal and his execution was even better.  The dunk from former Southern Indiana forward and streetball legend Anthony Pimble was pretty impressive too.  So sick!

NBA 2K14 - Next Gen Reveal (RIDICULOUSLY REALISTIC)

Wow.  I can't get over how realistic NBA 2K14 already looks and it's just in the alpha stage.  2K Sports is not messing around with the graphics for the PlayStation 4.  I can't imagine games being able to get much realer than this.

They might have some work to do on the mouth matching up with the speech and LeBron looks like he has the mouth of a lion but I'm pretty sure they will get it close to perfect by the time this comes out next year.  I will still probably hold off on the new PS4 for at least a year or so but seeing how awesome some these games already look, I might have to rethink that. 

LeBron's 360 Statue of Liberty Dunk in Warmups & Head Above the Rim Oop (SICK)

Here's another nasty pre-game dunk from LeBron.  This one was from Game 7 last night.  Dude is ridiculous.  There is absolutely no reason why he shouldn't enter the NBA Dunk Contest.  So frustrating...

Also, here is that nasty alley oop from Norris Cole during the game.  Dude was looking down at the rim and almost hit his forehead until he pulled it back.  That shit ain't fair!  So nice.  

LeBron James: King of the Flop (SHAMEFUL)

I was starting to come around on LeBron after a few years of hating him after the decision but I'm starting to sour on him a little bit after watching this compilation.  When you are built like an NFL tight end and are stronger than almost anyone else in the league, there is no need to flop like this on a regular basis.  Some of these are so bad and blatant.  He acts like he gets shot when he maybe was grazed and sometimes not even touched.  Just play the game, Bron!  You are better than that. 

Best of Blake Griffin in 2013 w/ Phantom Slow-Mo HD Camera (COOL)

You get a better appreciation for Blake's hops and athleticism with this super slow motion Phantom camera. This dude can't be human. Just ridiculous.

Jeremy Evans' Deep Alley-Oop Starting at 3 Point Line (NICE)

This didn't seem that impressive when I first saw it until I saw the third replay and realized Jeremy Evans was still behind the 3 point line when the pass was thrown. That takes some concentration and serious hops to pull off. Dude can definitely throw down with the best of them. It's too bad Evans still hasn't gotten much PT this year because he could be doing this every night like Blake Griffin and Andre Jordan...

Blake Griffin's Sick One-Handed Alley-Oop vs Knicks on St. Patrick's Day (NASTY)

Someone needs to check Blake Griffin's shoes for trampoline inserts because this is just getting ridiculous! This is definitely one of the best alley oops of his career and that's saying something. It's as perfect as you get for distance, height, finesse and power. Just a thing of beauty. He also looks like he stopped midair and then started floating towards the backboard somehow even though that is virtually impossible. So sick!!!

Ty Lawson's Sick Half Court Alley Oop to Faried (MANIMAL!)

This was a sick play on both ends. Nasty pass by Lawson and an even better catch and dunk by Kenneth Faried. Dude is ridiculous with those hops! Not even fair.

DeAndre Jordan Destroys Brandon Knight On Sick Oop (JUST NASTY)

This dunk is just DISGUSTING! I feel sorry for Brandon Knight because his career may be best known for being on the wrong end of this dunk instead of being known for his actual play. Dude might just need to retire after this because he is not going to stop hearing about this for weeks, if not months and years. It was that nasty! I don't even know why he tried to jump and stop this dunk because he was set up for failure from the start. Just get out of the way and don't embarrass yourself. This has to be one of, if not the best dunk of the year so far. As the announcers said in the clip, this is right up there if not better than any dunk we've seen from Blake Griffin which is really saying something. Impressive does not do it justice. Cot Damn!!!

Blake Griffin's Nasty Windmill Alley Oop vs. Bucks (DOPE)

Some people might complain that the NBA is starting to look like an AND1 Streetball game but I kind of like it. These dudes know people pay to come see them play and they want to entertain the fans and give them their money's worth. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. Jamal Crawford killed it with the unexpected between the legs alley oop and Blake did a great job of timing it and still throwing down a NASTY windmill dunk on the oop. That shit was tight!!!

LeBron's Behind The Pack Pass and Back from Wade for the Oop (SICK)

This was a fairly basic alley oop but LeBron added a little extra flair with the behind the back pass to start it all off. Very nice!

LeBron's Pre-Game Dunk Sessions are Getting Ridiculous (NASTY)

Is it weird that I actually like LeBron again after hating him for a couple of years after "The Decision" and the first few seasons in Miami? After winning a championship, he seems way more relaxed and is being himself and having fun again while dominating the shit out of everyone. He's not even human anymore. I've seen him do these pre-game warm up dunks in the past and I think he even did some when they came to Boston but it seems like he's stepped it up a bit this year. It's almost like he is doing this on purpose to piss off fans that would love to see him in the Dunk Contest. You have to appreciate how much he gets it though and wants to always put on a show for the fans. That's something MJ used to do back in the day. He'd play his ass off even if it was against the worst team because he knew people in the stands paid to see him play and he didn't want to disappoint them.
