Random NBA .GIF of the Day: LeBron James be fixing his hair.

"I ain't got no worries," he said. Via: SB Nation
No LeBron, brushing hair towards your receding hair line, will not hide anything. Besides, what you really should be worried about is that expensive bell-boy look you have on. It pains me to say this, but even Dwyane Wade is dressed better than you and he, well he wore this once.

Drunk Kenneth Faried recaps his experience at the ESPN "Body Issue" magazine photo shoot.



That's just a "wee" bit too much information, AMIRITE? (I will never give up an awful pun-opportunity.)

The science behind Stephen Curry's jumper.


Pssshhh, I can do better than that .....on my regular size, 8 foot nerf hoop. Okay, even that is a little bit of a stretch for me, but there is no good reason for ESPN to not do a sport science breakdown of my off-the-wall-360-between-the-legs dunk. I got hops for days, dudes.

Jeremy Lin writes the scripts for ESPN's SportCenter.


If I am correct, Jeremy Lin graduated from Harvard with an economics degree. What is this physics nonsenses coming out of his mouth, and how does that recap a basketball game? There are going to be problems when Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless can't comprehend those big words, Jeremy. And believe it or not, people actually listen and agree with their takes regardless of the fact that it is bias.

Kevin Garnett watches Family Guy before games.

In the latest Bill Simmons Report podcast, Brian Scalabrine AKA the "White Mamba" talked about what it was like playing with Kevin Garnett. Everyone knows that KG is a feared competitor with a mean stare and intensity that can make his opponents feel like they don't belong in the league. He even made his own team mate Glen "Big Baby" Davis cry in a game once. But according to Scal, Garnett actually has a chill bro switch, that allows him to joke around and watch family guy before games. This is a huge surprise, if this is true, I am assuming, that he only watches the episodes that involves Stewie trying to fight/kill someone because what else can get him to that mentality and win those "BAR FIGHTS."

Doc Rivers: "Jason Terry is slow as (bleep)."

This summer, Boston ended the era of the original "Big 3" of the Celtics. With the rise of Avery Bradley last season, Allen had to take a backseat, in a role he was not comfortable with and eventually drove him out of town.

The addition of Terry, became a perfect fit, as the 2009 sixth man of the year, he can provide an offensive spark off the bench that the veteran team was desperately missing. His ability to create his own shot and making it at a consistent high percentage will be key to the Celtic's success. And because you want to know, in a recent interview, Jason explained his technique on creating his own shot.

From the Boston Herald:
... It’s changing speeds and changing pace, and sometimes when you’re slow, you’re quick. I mean, the defense doesn’t know what you’re doing. If you hurry, you run into your defender, and then you’ve accomplished nothing. So I had to slow myself down a little bit but still be quick at the same time.
The best part besides the fact that this made no sense was that Doc River heard it and called out on Jason Terry's bullshit
“He’s in no hurry. Well, he can’t be,” the coach said. “He’s slow as (expletive). 
That just moved Doc up in my non existent extensive list of coolest coaches ever. If you have the time please check out this great piece on Grantland about him, it might just make you move him up in your non existent list too.

Brandon Roy and his knees are back!


You can't hate Brandon Roy. This man, who was reaching his prime at age 28, was forced to retire due to his degenerative knee condition. He lacks cartilage in the bones of both his knees, but it never deterred him from his goal. After taking a whole season off, and undergoing the Kobe procedure, his new German-engineered knees are finally ready to pick up, where he left off.

His knees look great, even pulled off a little up and under layup with defenders in his face. If Adelman can manage his minutes without over-exerting him, I have confidence that the Timberwolves will make the playoffs.

Dikembe Mutombo sent Jalen Rose to get his "adult goods."

These Jalen Rose NBA stories are getting better every week.


Little insights into the life of a NBA player are always amazing, finding out that Jalen Rose had to go to a drugstore at 2 in morning to get Dikembe Mutombo some adult goods repeatedly just made my day. The impression needs some work though, old fella.

Don't ever ask about the bat.
