This Is Our Concern Dude

I will admit, my interest in the NBA is passing at best most of the time. The Chicago Bulls kinda suck, and I actually find myself rooting for individual players more than my own favorite team. LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Deron Williams, Derrick Rose (who is the only reason the Bulls are worth watcing) and Kevin Durant come to mind (among others), but as a sports fan I can't resist a good trade deadline. I especially can't resist one where my favorite team made a couple moves that actually make sense to me. So here is my take on some of the more notable trades. 1. The Bulls get Brad Miller and John Salmons; The Kings get Andres Nocioni and Drew Gooden . I like this move because it actually gives the Bulls someone who can score in the paint. Everyone they have who plays the 4 or 5 for the Bulls is super-athletic with a low basketball IQ and disturbing lack of post moves or a jumper (Lookin at you Jo Noah and Ty Thomas). Brad Miller gives them a solid (but old) option at the 5, ...

This is the screenshot of the most epic NBA Jam beatdown I have ever personally witnessed. I played "Thunder" Dan Majerle for all 4 quarters and literally took every shot with him en route to a 96-31 dirtnap for my friend Matt. Pictures were taken just to prove this actually happened. I was leading 49-9 at half, and I spent the second half trying to reach 100 pts with "Thunder" Dan. Matt may or may not have cried afterwards. Ok, he didn't cry, but he should have. That's fucking embarrassing.

Saw some old video of Tim Legler the other night... Couldn't help it. (Conjures up a Simple Jack impression) His hair makes my eyes rain...

This emerald colored sprite is your 2009 Slam Dunk Champ. This doesn't bother me because of the dunks Nate Robinson did. His dunk where he jumped over Dwight Howard in the finals was downright epic, even if he needed to push off Dwight's shoulder and still rubbed his junk on Dwight's head. He's like 5'8 and jumped over a 7 footer...and then he dunked a basketball. I'm 6ft tall and I can barely touch rim with no one in my way. I also admit that the green jersey to make him Kypto-Nate to Dwight Howard's "Superman" was a nice touch. The thing is... Dwight Howard should have won, but he did his dunks in the wrong order. For his 2nd dunk in the first round, he brought out a 12 foot hoop, ducked into a phone booth, came out in his Superman cape, and threw in a Jameer Nelson pass off the backboard with ease. Between the theatrics and the actual dunk, this was my favorite dunk of the night. He got a 50 on the dunk, which is a perfect score for those uned...
