IMPORTANT NOTE: DeShawn Stevenson Has An ATM In His Kitchen
by Andrew Sharp on May 30, 2012 11:15 AM EDT
Having an ATM in your in kitchen is...
A) Completely unnecessary and ridiculous
B) An expensive way to avoid all those pesky surcharges
C) Far and away the most hood rich kitchen accessory of all time
D) Kinda brilliant, when you think of how convenient it'd be
The answer is all of the above, of course. DeShawn Stevenson is the best. Great outfit, too. But DeShawn got me wondering about option B, so I did a little digging.

VIDEO: Metta World Peace Promotes Mental Health As Only He Can
by Andrew Sharp on May 29, 2012 4:27 PM EDT
A Hall of Fame YouTube description right here:
Armed with a 40 pound Curling Stone, Metta World Peace transforms into Metta Man™ to complete a backboard shattering triple slam dunk after a wild free fall skateboard ride through the skyline of New York to promote Mental Health Awareness ...
Obviously.
The Celtics Technical Fouls Were Ridiculous, But Mostly Depressing
by Andrew Sharp on May 29, 2012 11:34 AM EDT
Midway through the second quarter of the Heat-Celtics Game 1, the refs just started calling technicals on everyone. Or everyone on the Celtics, to be exact. First on Ray Allen, then on Kevin Garnett, then on Doc Rivers.
This was so stupid.

Before The Conference Finals You Should Probably Watch This Video
by Andrew Sharp on May 25, 2012 2:29 PM EDT
Here's Pat Riley interviewing Michael Jordan 20 years ago in 1991. Can you imagine an NBA where Jordan never won a title? Where he decided against playing for the Dream Team?
This is a pretty awesome time capsule.
I'd never seen it before, and as the stakes get higher for guys like LeBron, KD, and Tim Duncan, MJ himself provides some pretty great perspective on what it all means.
For more context, check out Justin TInsley's piece at The Sports Fan's Journal.
Everything You Need To Know About The NFL's Collusion Defense In Less Than 100 Words
by Andrew Sharp on May 25, 2012 12:19 PM EDT
From the NFLPA's press conference Thursday:
Reporter: "What would you say to the owners contention that you guys signed off on the reallocation letter, and that should basically render the lawsuit null and void?"
DeMaurice Smith: "I guess the first thing I would ask is, 'It doesn't sound like you're denying the existence of collusion, now does it?'"

Why Can't We All Play In The NBA?
by Andrew Sharp on May 24, 2012 3:00 PM EDT
"There's a lot of sitting around and waiting because I don't really want to do anything on the day of the game in order to save energy. If you think about it, during a normal 82 game season including playoffs, preseason games, and two-a-day training camp days, I spend almost one-third of my year either in the gym or waiting at home or a hotel. I'm pretty much shut off from the rest of the world for one-third of the year. I'm just realizing this. I need to get out more... I'm watching Superbad on FX right now. McLovin just got punched at the liquor store."
Sure, Nick Collison takes some of the sex appeal out of the NBA lifestyle right there. But then think about how much of your life you spend in an office staring at a computer like some impotent zombie. Wouldn't you rather hang out in Five Star hotels all day taking naps and watching Superbad? Really, Nick Collison's description just stokes the flames of our burning jealousy toward him and every other pro athlete. This is just bulls**t. Why can't everybody play in the NBA? I want to go watch Superbad at the Four Seasons. RIGHT NOW.
(For more from the always-excellent Collison, check out this piece from GQ.)
Kanye West Is Making A Movie
by Andrew Sharp on May 24, 2012 1:35 PM EDT
Cruel Summer is the story of a Lamborghini car thief who falls for a beautiful blind Arabic girl who’s father will let them marry if he can help her see. So he (Kid Cudi) does using strings that lead her around palace to play music. To make the film, he needed 20 camels, 100 extras, and around 20 Lambos. (via)
You how know we're gonna solve the problems in the Middle East? With a mummified Kid Cudi, and a genre-busting anthem called "20 Lambos/20 Camels". That's how. The movie's meant to be experienced on "7 screens, 3 on front wall, 2 on side walls, 1 on ceiling, 1 on floor." Which... God Bless Kanye West. For everything. It'd be weirder if his movie WASN'T about a Lamborghini car thief giving sight to a blind Arab girl.
The Best Photo Of The Playoffs
by Andrew Sharp on May 24, 2012 12:19 PM EDT
At first you notice Lou Williams looking petrified and think, "Whoa wait a second, that is NOT how you play defense in the NBA Playoffs." But make sure you also pay attention to the girl behind Keyon Dooling who may or may not be a zombie. Whichever star you prefer, best photo of the playoffs, hands down.
The Kobe That We Used To Know
by Andrew Sharp on May 24, 2012 12:05 PM EDT
You didn't have to taaaaaake that shot,
Just drive the lane and dump it off to either Pau or Bynummmm,
Those two guys are reeeeeeally tall,
And when you keep it for yourself we never score enough,
You didn't have to hogggg the ball,
You're triple teamed so kick it out to either Blake or Sessionnnns,
I know that they don't shooooot so well,
But you're really not the Kobe that we used to know,
You're really not the Kobe that we used to know
This Kobe video is the best Kobe video.

Never Forget Latrell Sprewell
by Andrew Sharp on May 23, 2012 3:26 PM EDT
From the New Yorker:
He had a Afro, was wire thin, and didn’t so much dunk the ball as attack the rim like some kind of velociraptor who wanted to tear it off and take it elsewhere to eat. I imagined him cackling as he ran back on defense. It was a bit frightening.
This tribute to Latrell Sprewell is fantastic for a lot of reasons, but most basically, it's great because we forget about his best years way too often. Everyone remembers the choking incident that terrified middle America at the turn of the century, but remember how awesome he was with the Knicks in the '99 playoffs?
THAT was some truly terrifying s**t.

FYI, These Need To Be Made Immediately
by Andrew Sharp on May 21, 2012 4:34 PM EDT
I'd watch pretty much all of these -- from Hungry Hungry Hippos to Monopoly to Chutes and Ladders -- and they'd all be a thousand times better than Battleship. Just wish they'd have made a poster for the Steven Seagal thriller about an ice fisherman in Alaska fighting against environmental terrorists. Don't Break The Ice, y'all.

Hey, So What's Adam Morrison Up To These Days?
by Andrew Sharp on May 21, 2012 1:33 PM EDT
He's become the merchant of death? He's the first-ever NBA vampire? He hates his dad and just wishes the world would leave him alone? #AllBlackNailPolishEverything? What do you think?
Let's all hope the Nets sign him this year.

How Did Andrew Bynum Stay Healthy This Year?
by Andrew Sharp on May 21, 2012 1:10 PM EDT
Over the past few years whenever anyone would tout Andrew Bynum as the Next Big Superstar on the Lakers and in the NBA, in general, it always came with an asterisk.
"If he can stay healthy..."
And as the years passed that "if" loomed larger and larger, as Ethan Strauss explains at the Classical today:

The New Nike Soccer Commercial Is As Awesome As You'd Expect
by Andrew Sharp on May 18, 2012 9:31 AM EDT
The greatest thing about Nike commercials is that even if you don't like the sport they're advertising, they make you wish you did. That's next-level awesomeness. So whether you're a soccer fan or not, it's probably worth taking a few minutes to check out Nike's latest offering.
The ad features Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Wesley Sneijder, Franck Ribery and countless other stars. There's even a LeBron James cameo. Check out the video after the jump, plus a behind-the-scenes look at how they made it.
Somebody Make It Stop
by Andrew Sharp on May 17, 2012 2:11 PM EDT
We can do it, everyone. Together, we can all agree to stop using the words 'swag' and 'swagger'. It's official now, those two words will ruin pretty anything you attach them to, including anything/everything related to LeBron, and these free playoff shirts the Pacers are handing out tonight. In fact, someone needs to go light that shirt on fire. It's the first step, you guys.

The Dream Team Book We Always Wanted Is Finally (Almost) Here
by Andrew Sharp on May 17, 2012 12:14 PM EDT
We've always wanted a Dream Team book. There's never been a better collection of Hall of Fame sports talent in one place at one time, on one court. And the players had personalities to match. And they were in Monte Carlo half the time. And... Yeah, we've always wanted a Dream Team book, even if we didn't know it.
Luckily, Sports Illustrated's Jack McCallum put together just that! It won't be released until July, but you can pre-order it here. And today, he released the prologue on his website.
After the jump, three highlights from the prologue to whet your appetite.

'Good Game, Daddy,' Said Chris Paul's 2-Year-Old Son
by Andrew Sharp on May 16, 2012 10:21 AM EDT
From the AP's Clippers-Spurs recap:
Clippers' All-Star Chris Paul needed no reminder that his wretched performance contributed to the Spurs' 108-92 victory over Los Angeles in the opener of the Western Conference semifinals on Tuesday night.
He just needed to deliver the message to his kid.
"Good game, Daddy," Paul's young son told this father in the locker room.
"No, bad game," Paul answered. "Daddy had a bad game. Daddy couldn't make a shot."
Do you see what you've done Gregg Popovich? Are you happy now, Spurs fans? Chris Paul's son just found out his Daddy's not invincible, life's not just one big party full of laughter and triumphant press conferences, and now WE MAY NEVER SEE THE BLAKE FACE AGAIN.
Isn't growing up the worst?
