Steve Nash Is Better Than You At Life

Steve Nash already proved that he can make more free throws in a minute, more three-pointers in a minute, and stare without blinking longer than you can.

And even though he wasn’t putting on this show to prove his dominance, Nash showed at some Canadian Charity Classic that he’s better at doing tricks with a soccer ball than you too.

You Decide: LeBron’s Block/Foul on Jason Richardson

One video made by a Cavs fan shows the angle of LeBron‘s block on Jason Richardson so it looks like it was all ball (and incredibly embarrassing…) But the other video asserts that LeBron invented the “crab-block” last night…

The best college game of the decade, and the Spurs Can’t Handle Kobe

Syracuse-UConn

We’re not even gonna lie, though, none of us really watched much of the second NBA game last night (Cavs/Suns) — those who weren’t at MSG for the UConn/Syracuse Big East tourney game were glued to the TV watching it. If you missed it, you missed the college basketball equivalent of 300. After the refs waved off an Eric Devendorf three that appeared to give ‘Cuse the win in regulation, the game went to SIX OVERTIMES. Every time Syracuse had a chance to take the lead in the first five OT’s, it seemed they missed the easiest shot possible. One time Paul Harris (29 pts, 22 rebs) had a clear path for a dunk and the ball slipped out of his hands, then another time he had two chances to score right under the basket (with no Hasheem Thabeet around, who’d fouled out) and couldn’t convert. Syracuse finally took the lead in the sixth OT, and knocked down its free throws down the stretch to pull out a 127-117 win … Jonny Flynn was a BEAST for the Orange. He went for 34 points, 11 assists and six steals, hitting all 16 of his free throws and playing something like 67 minutes … Read More »

But aside from Smith, does anyone really believe that this Hawks team is a legit threat? Read More »

Steph Said No to Dwyane Wade

marbury_08_05

Both Dwyane Wade and Pat Riley aggressively pitched Stephon Marbury to join the Heat before he reached a buyout with the Knicks. Despite their efforts, Steph obviously decided that a better chance at a championship was too much to pass up.

“We’ve always had a relationship,” said Wade. “I wasn’t playing GM. We talked about a lot of different things. Of course, we all knew that Boston was a strong thing.” Read More »
