Matt Bonner is the best. He is one of those few NBA players that are real human beings and could easily be related to. I mean it is perfectly normal to love a good sandwich and new balance basketball shoes, even though they don't make them anymore. This video was done in part for the Canada Basketball 90th Anniversary and you might ask why Matt Bonner is part of this despite being born in the States. Well, when he came down to Toronto to play for the Raptors, besides becoming a fan favorite, he met some friends that eventually hooked him up with his now, wife. After obtaining Dual Citizenship (in both U.S. and Canada), Matt has often expressed his interest to betray his birth country to play for us (Canadians) because he loved this country and not totally because he will never make the U.S. squad. I am fine with that, the Canadian team needs all the help they can get, so why not add a 6 foot 10, three point shooter that led the NBA in three pointer percentage in the 2010-2011 season. It doesn't hurt that he can hit shots sitting down and off the walls.

A Video of Matt Bonner hitting trick shots all over the Spurs practice facility.

Brian Scalabrine is an Action Movie Star.
Great to see the White Mamba still in great shape, blocking dudes and dunking. It only makes sense that he uses his remaining athletic ability to film an Action Movie-esque commercial. Even though it is really about a NBA player seeking another sports drink other than Gatorade, only to be banned from such liquids thanks to David Stern. It was not said, but I am sure it was implied. Must be due to "basketball reason," am I right? Anyway we live in a world now, where Brian Scalabrine is filming action commercials and 66 year old Sylvester Stallone kicking ass with a bunch of other dudes on screen, maybe the Mayans were right after all.

Matt Bonner, 2013 Sprite Slam Dunk Contest Champion.
If you are wondering why this is so surprising, go search for Matt Bonner dunks on YouTube and you will know exactly why this is best thing ever. I will even do it for you. Amazed yet? Even though he was once a high school dunk contest champion and stands 6 foot 10, the Red Rocket never dunks in NBA games. And to actually hang on the rim to show off? What is happening to everything I thought I knew about the NBA. I can't take this much all at once, Matt please consider your viewers and take baby steps. We are not ready, but if you are willing, join the 2013 Slam Dunk contest and win it for all the little white kids watching so they can believe again. (Harmless joke).
The Spurs are on fire today.
