Hoops coaches strip for a 'Guitar Hero' spot

[From AdFreak]


Here's the new Guitar Hero commercial with college-basketball coaching legends Bob Knight, Rick Pitino, Roy Williams and Mike Krzyzewski yukking it up with Metallica. As Guitar Hero's Risky Business ads go, this one's a distant second to the Heidi Klum spot, though Knight is pretty funny, and Pitino's drumming is amusingly wretched.

Lebron James on 60 Minutes

Cleveland Cavaliers superstar forward LeBron James was on 60 Minutes last night. Check out the video below.


Pretty much this clip right here was the reason I watched the show. Underhanded, half court...no problem.


Is LeBron James the best player in the NBA? He's only 24 years and promises his best years are still ahead. Steve Kroft hits the hardwood with "King James.

Thanks to THE_REAL_SHAQ for putting this on Twitter. We had a good laugh.

This alone gives you a reason to watch the CBI. In the second half of Wyoming’s opening round loss to Northeastern, Adam Waddell gets the ball in transition and takes it to the hole. Unfotunately, he hangs on to the rim a little too long and does a back flip.

Devin Harris' Miracle Half-Court Buzzer Beater

[via Ball Don't Lie]

If you only watch one NBA highlight this season, I recommend you press play below. This is one for the ages, or at least pregame warmups — a lunging half-court heave at the buzzer that I still can't believe I actually watched.

The scenario, with a tip of the cap to Basketball Prospectus: Andre Iguodala's second free throw puts the Sixers up 96-95 with 1.8 seconds left. The Nets are out of timeouts. New Jersey inbounds the ball to All-Star Devin Harris, who pushes it quickly up the left sideline. Iggy reaches in and knocks the ball loose — fortunate to not be whistled for a foul — but Harris recovers the rock in stride, flips a shot from half-court, and ...

Even Shaq is on Twitter

Ok ok, I did it...after months of trying to save myself from its grasp I gave in and signed up for Twitter.

It makes me feel a little better to read this amazing story about two guys meeting The Big Shaq-tus in a diner by following his Tweets. I won't bother you trying to paraphrase the story anymore, just click the link.

Redeem Team 1, Phelps 8

Early Sunday morning the USA Olympic Basketball Team aka The Redeem Team took on 2006 reigning World Champs Spain. The game is really worth watching in its entirety as the game was a battle down to the last minute. With the amount of hype and pressure put on this years Olympic team (not to mention Lebron's guarantee) anything less than a gold would be considered failure.

Earlier in pool play the US beat Spain by 37 points. The USA overcame early foul trouble by Kobe Bryant and Lebron James with a great off the bench performance from Dwayne Wade. The game was close throughout with Spain having solid play from Juan Carlos Navarro, Marc Gasol and Rudy Fernandez. 17 year old Ricky Rubio started at point guard with Jose Calderon out due to a hand injury. It was a 4 point game with 2 minutes left but the USA was able to pull out the victory and our first gold medal in 8 years.
