I thought the season hit it's lowest possible point when the Cadavers lost 26 games in a row.
Then, when the Cadavers snapped that streak against the Clippers, I genuinely thought I couldn't possibly witness a worse NBA-related moment. Maybe ever.
I was wrong. God in heaven help me, I was wrong.
Bonus and totally not made up quote directly from the AP recap: "He has the softest hair," marveled former Los Angeles Laker Rick Fox, who patted his West teammate Bieber on the head during the game.

Scottie Pippen rejects Justin Bieber
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zb64y6Nvs0
Magic isn't surprised! Discuss.
Jalen is wearin the best kicks on the court and is somewhere waaay in the backround. Discuss. This is why I hated the NBA for 5 years after I turned 16. This commercial horseshut ruins any credibility this weekend has.
I know, I know, this is the All Star break, and America needs to reassure itself that Bieber is the worthy centre of its attention, but even so... from an international perspective, this type of rubbish brings the NBA back 10 years every time it happens. Way to dampen the opening to the AS Weekend. I mean, over Pip? COME ON!?!?!?!?!
I personally, can't wait for Twilight to fall out of fashion so I can relentlessly tease its current fans.
vertically challenged???????
PS: they called the wrong kardashian to the game, homes...
That does not compare with the Cadavers/Clippers Bawful.
you can have some fun captioning this one.
My girlfriend (who I lovingly call German): "Wow, that's terrible. Doesn't that just make you lose respect for..."
Me: "Life? Yes. Absolutely."
German: "I was going to say NBA, but life fits better."
Giving the celebrity game mvp to an undeserving participant must be a tradition. Last year's winner was Rapaport, even though Common actually played a good game.
By the way, was there ever one of these games where the wnba players didn't play like they were at the half-way point of a lazy 9-month offseason?
vw:lacricer, like a Clipper's japanese sports car.
Also, Bieber was like the celebrity game equivalent of crappy shooting Jason Kidd in the ASG. Offense atleast flowed somewhat with him out there.
I really hate my life.
I ran the rookie-soph game through Lacktion Bot 5000 and did not get any results. :/
Baron Davis - "Oh, hi" http://twitpic.com/41p1b6
Baron Davis' face is the best part of this http://30fram.es/1dx
Also Blake, i liked your dunk better when Marko Milic did it. He's white. And a Slovenian.....

At least this video always cheer me up though:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zb64y6Nvs0&feature
I think Westbrook's girl did too!
I found it to be very...pure in an evening that is sort of overall kind of a slog to get through at times.
First off, if 'this shit' set the NBA back ten years every time it happens, the game would've uninvented itself.
Second, this is the celebrity all star game. It's not the "Let's make Scottie Pippen feel good for blocking a tiny kid" game. By which I mean: this game is about promoting the NBA to people who aren't like us. Scottie Pippen isn't going to get news like Bieber, and that's what this is about.
And last, who gives a shit? Kid was good enough to play alright with some much taller dudes.
Scoring for Griffin's side I think it should have been a tiebreak between Griffin and Derozan on the first round, because the first dunk of Derozan was not really a 44, it was worth a 48. The first attemtps of Griffin, if made, would have been worth 50 points, though.
Ibaka did his best but the others are really sick leapers, I was watching the show here in Spain and the commentators couldn't stop saying that Ibaka deserved more and Ibaka was the best and stupid things that showed they had never made a dunk even in a garbage can.
Griffin's first round dunks were monster dunks although they weren't what he exactly did in his first tries, Derozan dunks were unreal, very difficult, and McGee's dunks were completely new and challenging, too. Ibaka only had a chance if the others were below their level.
Anyway, in the final round, Griffin was the fair winner, both dunks were unbeliavable. The first dunk is actually dangerous, it's not only a vertical leap, he's also jumping sideways to catch the ball off the backboard and throw it down to his elbow, a no-brainer 50. The 2nd one is a great dunk too, Marko Milic jumped over a car over its middle section, okay, but it was a convertible, he already had the ball in his hand, and he took a longer running start. Griffin actually had to catch the pass thrown from the car and he dunked it with both hands.
About McGee, his first dunk was great, but I didn't like how he gave up after Griffin's parade. I think he knew he was going to lose because the winner was determined by online voting, but he was doing a deserving and original contest and his last dunk was like Darrell Armstrong's layup.
That's it.
I also have to say that the online voting screwed up the not-NBA dunk contest, stealing the prize from T-Dub in favor of Young Hollywood (because he's from LA).
And the three-point shootout was disappointing, I save Allen and Jones, and Pierce in the final round, but what a piece of shit we were given. It'd have been better a shootout between Steve Kerr and Kenny Smith from mid-court.
from what I understand McGee was going to do something similar to Ibaka's stuffed animal dunk, and didn't have any back-up plans. I still think McGee was robbed though, Griffin's dunks were impressive - they all were, to an extent - but McGee actually put some thought into his dunks. which is rare these days.
also, he made Dwight Howard jealous.
Also I thought it was interesting that Dr. J kissed Mcgee's mom on the lips when she was schmoozing with the judge's panel. The crowd roared with shock when that happened. lol I thought Mcgee was gonna yell "get off my momma!"
It's a pity that McGee didn't already had a B plan, he couldn't win with a dunk like the last one. One more dunk in the same line and now I would find myself saying that he had to be the winner.
I think that the "steal" fits better with Derozan by the reasons explained above.
Would the organization bring a car to the arena and a gospel choir to not use them?
I thought it was obvious the dunk contests are at least a little planned. Like they would let Dwight not do to the superman thing, or Nate jump over him, or this year let product placement go to waste.
ASG prediction: LeBron is gonna jack up a lot of shots thinking that'll get him MVP like always.
Woot.
Meanwhile, the Maloofs are talking about setting up shop in Anaheim. :facepalm:
...
...I'm a terrible person.
east played like ass and still almost pulled it out. Game got interesting late
Not to be a dick but was Bob Pettit actually any good or was he just a decent white guy playing against other bad white guys in the 50's?
I am now going to exhibit self-control and restrain myself from making a Stevie Wonder comment.
Wild Yams:
The splitted screen is something I see in Spain with motorbikes and F1 races, but the action is long enough not to lose relevant things, if something's going on they don't screw it up with that. In basketball they sometimes interview a coach but they wait to do it at the end of a period. They like to import the American example, though, so I expect it will be done even more :S
Interstate....Bob Petttit scored 50 points in leading the Hawks past the seemingly invincible Celtics which included Sam Jones and Bill Russell to win the NBA Finals. He could average 25 points and 10 rebounds NOW.
It drives me nuts when people dismiss the 50's and 60's like the guys don't compare to now. Most kids today think a blocked shot is when someone swats the ball 100 feet out of bounds and beats their chest. Meanwhile Bill Russell's shot blocks were when he deflected the ball to a teammate then races up court to complete the fast break. You tell me which of those is more productive than the other.
Also, if players are "so much better" now...how come no one ever uses the skyhook that made Kareem Abdul Jabbar famous? How come no one can shoot from half court like Pete Maravich? How come no one passes like Bob Cousy or Magic Johnson?
Somewhere in the last few decades fundamentals were replaced by street ball. Maybe that's why Ray Allen will probably never be topped in the 3 point shot because no one bothers to practice (see Allen Iverson) fundamentals other than a select few.
Someone should come up with a competing blog and call it basketbawesome.

Uh-oh 12-year-old detected
Just because you watched Justin Bieber play basketball, doesn't make you an expert in basketball. What part of Bieber's performance was MVP worthy? For that matter do you even know what MVP stands for? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you don't.
Khayes sorry but I still believe the 12th man on most NBA rosters these days can go back and spank most of those 50's and 60's guys, even with their "devastating sky-hooks" and intimidating overhead set shots, but we'll have to agree to disagree since obviously it can never be resolved. I've watched old footage though, it was mostly bawful...
Btw great Steph Curry pics lol
I might be a bit late... But that Steph Curry/Pedobear picture was PERFECT. Summed up my thoughts completely.
Well done.
These fuckers are not good at basketball. I'm talking all-stars like Hal Greer, Sam Jones, and Billy Cunningham are painfully bad to watch. Wilt is not into the game mentally from what I'm seeing. Make all the arguments you want, I could take a scrub from today's NBA and he would shit on these guys. They were great in their time and nothing more.
But I'm watching this game through the eyes of an early 90's baby. Sue me.
Interstate, you had to be DAMN good to crack the NBA with only a certain number of teams back in the day. Think of if the NBA contracted 18 teams and had to redistribute the talent, there still would be all-stars jobless.
Also Red Auerbach's teams were in such peak physical condition that they'd probably run every modern team off the court now. You think Lebron James, Kobe Bryant or anyone besides Jason Kidd (who played the fast break with the Nets) would be able to literally sprint back and forth for 48 minutes AND contend with the greatest shot blocker the game has ever seen?
