RARE FOOTAGE: Rajon Rondo dancing (at Brandon Bass's wedding).


This is first and only video evidence of Rajon Rondo dancing and even though it lasted for about 7 seconds, savor it, because it is not likely to happen again.

Learn to speak with a Boston accent with Paul Pierce.


15 years. Paul Pierce has been with the Boston Celtics for 15 years. It's going to be weird not seeing him in green anymore and faking knee injuries (totally joking, please don't hate me). Anyway, get well soon, Celtics fans, learning that you lost your franchise player over pizza can't make this break-up any worst.

Paul George says Larry Bird is still very good at shooting a basketball.

GREATEST MUSTACHE OF ALL TIME. (Jerry Wachter/Getty Images)
In a recent interview with SLAM, Paul George reveals that the Indiana Pacers team president, and one of NBA's greatest players, Larry Bird, can still shoot the lights out of the gym at the age of 56.
SLAM: I believe you had talked about seeing Larry shoot in the gym. 
PG: He picked a ball up that had rolled over. He rolled up his sleeves and made about 15 in a row and just walked out like nothing just happened. It was the craziest thing I've seen. 
SLAM: How did you and the rest of the team react? 
PG: We were speechless. We didn't know whether to keep shooting or just to end practice. It was sweet, man.
Of course he still got it. He is Larry "M----- F------" Bird. This is the man who once played a half of a NBA basketball game with just his left hand, scored 20 of his total 47 points with it, and got the W. He's a bad dude.

Brian Scalabrine wrestles leprechauns at a minor league baseball game.



Had Scal turned down the opportunity to become an assistant coach of the Golden State Warriors, the White Mamba would have easily, easily been the greatest (popular, because you know, you really can't be the greatest at a fake sport) WWE wrestler in whatever it is they call history. Scal is pretty much perfect the fake-wrestler, all he needs some weird gimmick. Maybe a dance? He does do a mean Michael Jackson.

Sorry I couldn't find the full footage of him wrestling short people, I am disappointed too.

Yay, fun. Via: @JonahKaner
Come on you guys, you are freed from the clutches of a Russian Mob, you should be celebrating, just like the wise Ricky Rubio once said, "Change your face, be happy, enjoy."

Ohhh, poor Marshon, don't cry. It will get better in time, hopefully. Via: JonahKaner

Random NBA .GIF of the Day: Farewell, Paul Pierce the Celtic.


Really going to miss you in green, big fella. It's going to be pretty weird to see you retire with a team other than the Boston Celtics. Good luck with the Nets (you guys are totally getting eliminated in the second round of the playoffs, please don't send your Russian mobsters to get me, Mr. Prokhorov).

J.R. Smith does not know of a Jason Terry.

After missing out on game 4 of the Knicks-Celtics series due to a suspension received in game 3 for an elbow to Jason Terry's super wide head (I am talking full-out stretch of the head band wide), J.R. Smith could not recall who he knocked out to deserve the penalty in the first place.

From NY Post:
Smith was asked about Terry’s Game 4 heroics. 
“I don’t know who that is,’’ he said. 
Asked if he was concerned Terry might try to bait him in his return for Game 5, Smith said, “Who’s that? I don’t know who that is. I’m sorry.’’
That's a bit harsh, J.R., but you weren't the only one. I am sure many fans (specifically Boston fans) have forgotten who Jason Terry is. After being brought in to replace Ray Allen to become the instant offense he was as a Dallas Maverick, Terry failed to meet expectations, averaging the lowest points per game since his rookie season.

Hey J.R., if you need any tips to recognize Terry during the game, just look for the guy doing the stupid airplane celebration. You won't miss him. Then again, to do the celebration, Jason has to score first, never mind, just look for a guy with a Celtics' leprechaun holding a championship trophy tattoo on the underside of his arm.

NBA Playoffs Day 4 Round Up - April 24th, 2013.

Miami Heat 98 - Milwaukee 86

Insane, hectic, chaotic, and weird were a few words you can come up with when watching the reigning champs struggle in one of their worst games of the season. The pace was wild to start, and Miami just looked rush. They were trying to take care of business early and it did more bad than good. The Bucks are not a bad team and when you turn the ball over at the rate the Heat was in the first half, they can make it a game. Milwaukee played them close through all 3 quarters, holding LeBron to one of his worse shooting nights, with only 19 points on 6 of 14 shooting, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. Of course with one superstar down, another one steps up. Dwyane Wade had 21 on 8 of 14 and 7 boards, you can't stop them all. The momentum shifted in the 4th quarter, and the Heat, in a blink of an eye, went on a 12-0 run in the opening minutes, creating margin that the Bucks never recovered from. It also helped that the back court of the Bucks combined for 5 of 21 from the field for 15 points. They were just throwing prayers up mid way through the 4th. Only three Milwaukee players were in double digits. Ersan Ilyasova led the way with 21 (9 of 14) and 6 boards. This series is done. Let's move on.

Same category as Dwyane Wade? HAVE ALL OF THIS, MONTA.

New York Knicks 87 - Boston Celtics 71

The Celtics looked old. Their age has always been an area of concern, but they have fought back from way too many battles for us to merely dismiss them. Last night, however, told a different narrative. Boston was absolutely gassed by the 4th quarter. The defense that heavily relied on Kevin Garnett crumbled when he got in foul trouble. It took them nearly 24 seconds to get a shot up in every possession and nothing went in. Everything they worked for in the first half went to waste. The sad part was that, they had the Knicks. They outworked them, forced turnovers, caught them sleeping in transition, and got actual bench contribution. An upset was seemingly possible in the second half, and then this happened.
SO. MUCH. BLOOD. Via: @TheKnicksWall
23 points on 19.4 percent shooting from the floor, the lowest field goal percentage in any half over the last 15 seasons. Make no mistake, the Knicks did up their defense in the second half, but it was in no way that effective. The Celtics just couldn't hit anything. Their offensive sets were a mess. The Knicks' sets weren't much better, relying on large doses of ISO. But they have Carmelo Anthony, who is capable of going off for 34 points (11 of 24) and 4 rebounds. The Celtics, have a shell of Paul Pierce, 18 points (8 of 19), 6 rebounds and 6 assists on a minute restriction. The next game will be played at the TD Garden in Boston, hopefully things will turn around as the Celtics pray to even the series at home.


Golden State Warriors 131 - Denver Nuggets 117

I know the final score suggests a high scoring game, but that's not all the case..SIKE. It was a shootout in mile high city and there was something special about watching the Warriors shoot OVER 9000% (sorry, I had to) from the field to tie the series up at 1 game a piece.

Game notes: Andre Iguodala went off early, with 12 points in the first quarter, and then he completely disappeared on both ends of the floor, finishing with a total 18 points, and 7 assists.

With the injury to David Lee, the Warriors went super small, starting Jarrett Jack, who seemed more content to draw fouls then passing it to the hot hand (Stephen Curry). Jack is great for this team, but he has to show control. Tunnel vision is not going to help you advance to the next round.

Also Harrison Barnes looked great at the 4. 24 points (9 of 14), and 6 boards is a pretty good indicator of his abilities. His speed and athleticism absolutely destroyed his opposition.

Kenneth Faried's return lacked the usual motor. Dude is definitely hurt and should have sat this one out.

After a slow first quarter, Stephen Curry went NOVA for the next three quarters, hitting everything in sight. Especially shots off of those nasty Andrew Bogut screens. He finished with 30 points (13 of 23), 5 rebounds, 13 dimes, 3 steals and one turnover. His back court partner, Klay Thompson, had 21 on 8 of 11 shooting.

This Warriors' win snaps Denver's 24 game home winning streak. The Nuggets have not lost in the Pepsi Center for 3 months until yesterday.

Final note - Golden State shot 65 percent from the field, and 56 from three, something that has never been done in a NBA playoff history. Cool.
