Chris Bosh Video Bombs Another LeBron James Interview.


You can't blame Chris Bosh for constantly video bombing his teammates. After all, he once used to be the franchise player on a team in Canada. He must miss the media attention he once drawn, but it is okay, he is willing to be the under-appreciated third fiddle as long as the Miami Heat continues to win. Who cares anyways, don't you want to keep seeing Chris Bosh do weird things?

The Los Angeles Lakers' defense summed up in 15 seconds.

The 2012-2013 NBA season hasn't been too nice to the Lakers since the beginning. After acquiring two All Stars over the summer to join forces with another pair of All Stars, the Lakers were sure favorites to win the Championship. Fast forward 3 months later, they are 17-25, riddled with injuries, players are unhappy and no one knows what to do. It's simple just to say their issues are dependent on defense because they are ranked 20th in the league in defensive rating, allowing an average of 107 points a game to their opponents, but there are definitely problems that goes beyond their struggles on the court. Poor Steve Nash was left alone to fend for himself.


Even Kobe, who has been surprisingly optimistic so far this season, has finally broken. BROKEN.


Soak in it Laker fans, this is the face of a man drowned in sorrow. Once the Lakers fail to make the playoffs, which will happen because they have tough schedule ahead of them and will need to win the next 31 of their upcoming 40 games, just to secure a playoff spot. The majestic Kobe will crumble and the inner pathological monster in him will crawl out. Killing every single one of his teammates, and coaches before taking away his own life. Okay, that won't happen but there will be changes in the organization, hopefully it doesn't involve duffel bags.

Javale McGee Presents: A Very Javale McGee Dunk.

Via: @cjzero
Last time on Javale McGee Presents, I showed you guys a Washington Wizards tribute throwback performance by Javale. Showing the mishaps that he is notoriously known for. However, once in a while we get plays like this. Where he does something so spectacular and totally unnecessary that leaves you speechless and question whether it was in fact a good or a bad thing. Obviously he got those two points, but was it worth popping one of the veins on George Karl's forehead in the process?


If you are wondering why he placed his finger on top of his lips, it is because he has a mustache tattoo on his left index finger that he uses to let you know that "Pierre", his alter ego was responsible for that dunk. Yea, he is a weird dude.

The Round Up - January 23rd, 2013.

Stats Rundown

Gold Rush: The Golden State Warriors are not kidding around. Stephen Curry validated his All Star candidacy today by straight up outplaying Russell Westbrook. The 13 year old had 31 points on a rare 11 of 27 shooting night, where he was cold from the three, hitting only 3 of his 14 attempts. He also had 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and a shimmy on his knees to rub it in the face of Westbrook.


Bad Russ had the worst night of his life, going for only 10 points (3 of 16), 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Kevin Durant however, picked up the slack with 33 points (10 of 17), 5 boards and 9 dimes in the loss.

Note: The Warriors are the only team that has defeated the Heat, Clippers and Thunder, so maybe they could make another miraculous run in the playoffs.

Carl Landry's legs folded at the sight of an incoming Kevin Durant and I don't blame them.


Feathers: Josh Smith has longed for a night where he actually scores the basketball with efficiency. His dreams came true today against the Bobcats, he had 30 points (15 of 24), 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 blocks in the win because the Bobcats are the Bobcats. The only reason that this wasn't a blowout, was due to Ramon Sessions dropping 27 points to keep the game closer than it really should be.

Oh Canada: The Toronto Raptors did it again, after building a 15 point lead in between the third quarter, they blew it again and allowed the Miami Heat to comeback for the win in overtime. Jose Calderon led Toronto with 17 points from 5 of 6 three point shooting. While LeBron James grabbed his second triple double of the season with 31 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. Dwyane Wade chipped in another 35 points on 13 of 19 shooting and 7 assists to put the Raptors into extinction.

Don't call it a Comeback: Trailing by 17 early in the third quarter, the Chicago Bulls rallied 28 points in the 4th to outscore Detroit's 14 to take the W at home. Joakim Noah was huge late in this game, saving the ball from going out of bounds and into the hands of Marco Bellinelli, who drew a three point play to win the game.


Replacement: Filling in for the injured Tim Duncan, Tiago Splitter went 10 of 11 from the field for 25 points and 7 rebounds in the victory over the New Orleans Hornets. His teammate, Tony Parker added 24 points (10 of 18), 4 rebounds and 13 assists. No biggie, he does that in about every game.

Ripped in another City: The Indiana Pacers suffered a 20 point defeat to the Portland Trail Blazers at the Rose Garden. LaMarcus Aldridge had a game-high 27 points on 12 of 17 shooting and 6 rebounds. The future Rookie of Year, Damian Lillard got 20 points (9 of 16) and 8 assists.

Highlights

Fancy: Ricky Rubio doesn't care that you are in the way, he will just pass the basketball right through you.


Stampede: Nate Robinson got really hyped after doing good things for the Bulls.

Kevin Martin gets fouled by a ghost.


Damn it Antoine, not again.


This is Kevin Martin's second warning, which means he has to pay a fine of $5,000 dollars to the league. Good going Antoine, one more time and Kevin Martin would lose 10,000 dollars.

Jeff Teague wants to be the best rapper on the Atlanta Hawks.

It seems like every NBA player wants to be a rapper these days. There are definitely a few standouts in the music making, namely Stephen Jackson and Iman Shumpert, but aside from those two, no one really had a successful rap career. But that doesn't stop little Jeff Teague from dreaming.

From Tom Lorenzo of SB Nation:
"If I didn't play basketball and love it like I do I would be a battle rapper," Atlanta Hawks point guard Jeff Teague tweeted out just days before the start of the 2012-13 NBA season.
"So, you want to do rap battles," I started, as Teague began to laugh. "Are you the team's best rapper?" I asked.
And before he could even answer, from three lockers away, Ivan Johnson chimed in with a declarative, "Oh, hell no!"
Teague smiled, adding, "Lou Will does videos and stuff. I don't know if I can compete with that.
Johnson made sure to reinforce his point that no, indeed, Teague isn't the team's best rapper, with yet another "hell no" still from three lockers away. And when I asked Johnson if he wanted to take claim to the rap battle title, Johnson laughed and said, "No, I'm more of an R&B dude."
"He listens to Sade," Teague said,..
You are looking at a man that self proclaimed to be a R&B dude and loves Sade. Something that I would never imagine, but hey, if he says so, you have to believe him. Other wise to will be the seeing the bad side of Ivan Johnson that no one dares to confront.

As for Lou Williams, I checked out a few of his songs, it is actually not bad. He does in fact have music videos, if you call him rapping in a black drop, half naked, a video. You will find Lou rapping about the common themes, culturalized by modern hip-hop. So if you are into NBA players talking about money and getting women, you can give him a listen.

Glen "Big Baby" Davis Wants His Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Now.

Glen Davis doesn't kid around when it comes to food. He might be one of the goofiest guys in the NBA, but you don't ever want to tick him off by not preparing the sandwiches he requested for. If you want to live, you will have to sacrifice a few of your groceries. Legend has it that every day, a giant baby will rise from his slumber and request food from the good citizens of Orlandogard. Citizens are asked to prepare a different meal 12 times a day and if they fail to comply to his demands, men will be lost.


FEED HIM. FEED HIM NOW BEFORE HE RAMPAGES THROUGH YOUR VILLAGE AND EAT YOUR CHILDREN.
