if that happened, and stoudamire pulled what he did with nash, would they both get a medal?
Is it truly back? I think that remains to be seen. The slam dunk contest was must see TV back in the day. After watching the special about the 76 and 84 contests TNT showed beforehand, I felt even more ambivelent about this years group. I agree with that, to an extent, and in support of the statement, I wholeheartedly endorse Kenny Smith's callout of Kobe, Vince, and LeBron to come out and show their shit. But it was one hell of a good ride last night. Andersen was just (white, natch) gravy.
I feel kinda bad for Chris Anderson. We all know he can do better than that; he showed it to us last year.
you may possibly find video of the competition if you sort through some basketball torrents. I can't confirm though that the tin contains what the label says.
Three of the dunks here
Thank for the link, holden. All great dunks, but that Amare dunk? All I could say was, "WHAT THE HELL?" as in where did they get the idea for it. I think that's the most entertaining dunk I've ever see. Mad skills on both his and Nash's part. Now, I'm just waiting for someone to try this out during a game =)
While on the All-Star Game, can anyone possibly explain to me the half-time show featuring the country singer in what appeared to be a Confederate army tunic, the black rapping cowboy, and the dancing short midget? I was completely baffled....
after saturday and sunday isnt it clear how much of a racist Barkley is
smithers: Ya, I was fairly confused, but moreso by the "country" they were playing. As much as I'm not a fan of country, that sure as hell didn't sound like country. Guess I'm out of touch with the music scene. petty: I didn't watch Barkley. What did he do that's so blantant?
Smithers I didn't see it but perhaps the act was called Big & Rich? They're part of a group of Nashville newbies with a very different attitude. And the only country act I know of that includes an NBA-sized black rapper.
Yep, that was them.....
it was a "your chocolate is in my peanut butter" moment for me when I saw the all star game halftime show mentioned on the I Love Music forum. Big and Rich placed a couple of songs in the ILM posters' best of 2004 poll.
besides downing the country music singers and dissing the only white guy in the dunk contest. getting his little digs on steve nash and talking about regis and his next guests. he is way to full of himself
You didn't expect Barkley to diss the country music singers and the guy that just so happened to need 90 chances to dunk the ball twice? I started feeling bad for BirdMan after the fourth attempt. After that it was just painful to watch.
that was pretty bad but he was on him before the guy even dribbled the ball
petty-45: Perhaps you're not familiar with some of Barkley's previous quotes. He disses black people too. When he retired from playing, he said, "Just what America needs, another unemployed black man." In fact, Barkley has defended himself on racism charges before: "I always say two things: Black people will borrow money and not pay you back and white people cannot dance. If somebody wants to think that is racist, I said it in humor and jest. If somebody wants to make it into racism, I don't worry about it."
My favorite Barkley quote: A.C. Green was a self-proclaimed born-again Christian (also a virgin late into his NBA career). Barkley yells over at him in the middle of an NBA game after A.C. misses a shot, "Hey A.C. If God's so good, why didn't he give you a jump-shot?"
With that as inspiration I will listen to Daytona today on the radio...I can hear it now: Stofer: Sirius to Broadcast NASCAR Racing Starting in 2007!
