See basketball in Roy Hibbert's point of view with Google Glass.

Have you ever wondered what you would be able to see as a 7 footer on a basketball court? Well, here's your answer.


Basketball rims? Basketball rims.

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.

Random NBA Photo of the Day: What is Paul George wearing?

Why are pleather shirts even a thing? Via: paul_george24
Good heavens, Paul George. Not you too. The 70's green amoeba shirt was a once fun time thing, but this, this is on some Russell Westbrook x Dwyane Wade level fit. Please stop now. You are walking down a dark path.

Roy Hibbert says Tyler Hansbrough hated the "Psycho T" nickname.

Tyler, you have zero chill, bro. (Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
Here's a "fun" fact, Tyler Hansbrough was given the nickname, "Psycho T," during his time at the University of North Carolina, but not exactly for his high intensity play like Wikipedia states. Bro was actually, and excuse my language, bat-shit crazy, so it's no wonder he is not too big of a fan of the nickname.


*Looks up the definition of "Gooch" on Urban dictionary, thinks about it for a second, creates accidental (and possibly traumatizing) mental image, returns to tab.* Yep, definitely staying with Psycho T. DO NOT want to know how "Gooch" came about.

Roy Hibbert does not approve of the Indiana Pacers' summer league t-shirt jerseys.

NOPE. Photos via: @PacersDMB
Seriously NBA, when are you going to take a hint and realize that these abominations you call "jerseys," will never be a thing? I mean even if the NBA players didn't think they were ugly (which they do), who are you trying to sell them to? Authentic t-shirt jerseys would be great, but why would fans spend an extra hundred dollars, when they could buy the same t-shirt at a lower price, with less holes in them. Team 100% cotton.


Thankfully, this is just for the summer league. Roy Hibbert and his team are fortunately not one of the select few that will adopt the t-shirt jerseys in the NBA season. Too bad the same can not be said for the Warriors and Suns.

Roy Hibbert beats his own Gatorade challenge in 4 seconds.


I don't know if you guys are in the loop on this whole Roy Hibbert challenge thing, but in light of the Indiana Pacer's Game 7 loss to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, a six second video of Roy Hibbert chugging an entire 20 oz. bottle of Gatorade on national television made its way on to the internet. And like all things on the internet, when given time, it naturally develops into a global 6 seconds or less Gatorade chugging challenge (duh). The results were hilarious, but in a midst of all the submissions, no official victor was ever declared, that is until Roy Hibbert came on to ESPN's Sports Nation to beat his record by a wholly 2 seconds.

While I am very impressed by Roy's new found "talent", as I nearly choked to death in my attempt, (For the record, I totally thought I could do this with ease — big mistake, I ended up having to clean up about 14 oz. of blue Gatorade off the carpet. I can still smell it right now, along with the chlorine in the cleaning agent.) it's kind of lame to win your own challenge, but also kind of smart, I guess.

Bonus clip: Roy Hibbert gets his revenge on Mike Tyson for ripping paper Hibbert's ear off in the former boxer's appearance on the show back in February.


Roy is such a giant dork. Emphasis on the giant.

Shane Battier referred to his Game 7 benching as eating a turd sandwich.

Gross. But Shane gets two player points for South Park references.
These are real words that Shane Battier said when asked about the Game 7 benching, that reduced him into a lowly personal sweat wiper. From USA Today:
"[...] Obviously as a competitor, it was tough. I'm not going to lie. It was maybe the toughest thing I've gone through as a competitor. Super happy for my team and my teammates. 
"In retrospect, it's OK today. Every now and then you've got to eat a turd sandwich. You eat a turd sandwich and that ribeye tastes really good next time. That's life. That's the way I look at it."
Sheesh, Dookies...AM I RIGHT? (Get it? It's funny because he is Duke alumni talking about poop. /Slaps knee.)

Random NBA. GIF of the Day: Chris Bosh's flop on David West.

Aww, nice try. Via: SB Nation
Oh Chris Bosh, how are you going to dodge the initial hit and then flop? You are so silly. Heart you.

Paul George's Flopping PSA For Mario Chalmers.


Appreciate the message, Paul George. But it would mean a lot more if you weren't caught in the same act just a game ago.

LeBron James jumps into the stratosphere for the alley-oop finish.


Normally, you won't find any breathing lifeforms in the Stratosphere (excluding bacteria, I did my Wikipedia research), because there isn't a lot of oxygen up there, but LeBron James isn't entirely a normal being, he is, after all, a professional basketball playing cyborg, so jumping into the second major layer of Earth's atmosphere (again, Wikipedia) to catch a lob is a thing he can do.

Unreal.

Pacers' Jeff Pendergraph is the NBA's greatest hype-man.


Okay, dude. Maybe you should layoff the energy drinks a little. I mean, what's the use of all this adrenaline, when your job is to warm up the bench all game? 


COME ON, THIS IS BORDERLINE INSANITY. You know, the good kind, if there is such a thing.

Random NBA .GIF of the Day: LeBron James sprints in reaction to foul call.

CHILL. Via: SB Nation
I know, I can't believe there is going to be a Boy Meets World sequel too. It's okay, this is a good thing, guys. Keep an open kind, it can't possibly be as bad as Saved By The Bell: New Class, right? Please, don't.

LeBron James crashes into Shaq's lap.


I know LeBron James can reach up to the top speed of a moving freight train, but good thing the situation wasn't the other way around, because had Shaq crashed into the the stands, someone would have been pulverized. That is unless, they do this...


HAHAHA... Shaq's Suns' days were the BEST.
