Throw It Down Big Fella

In case you've been living under a rock and haven't heard about this video take a look.  It's become a sensation all over YouTube and here's why...


1. The anticipation.  For a second there you really thought big boy was going to slam it home.  Little did we all know that the only thing he'd be slamming home was his face.  Luckily for everyone though there was some protective padding there.  Otherwise, big boy's face is broken, the Atlanta Hawks have a lawsuit on their hands, and this video goes from hilarious to hilarious and "did they really think he was going to dunk it?"

2. The disappointment.  The poor guy just laid there face first on the canvas in utter sorrow and embarrassment.  But, I gotta hand it to the big guy, he competed.  All anyone can ask for is your best effort and he clearly displayed that even when the odds (and gravity) were strongly against him.

Could It Be?

In case you didn't offer up one of your toes, a la Bunny Lebowski "allegedly", to watch the Mayweather-Cotto fight this past Saturday then you missed Floyd "Money" Mayweather's star-studded entourage. If you know anything about Mayweather you would know that it comes to no surprise that he surrounds himself with people who aren't struggling to pay their cable bill. But it does come as a surprise as to how his group of friends came to be (note: WWE wrestler Triple H is not pictured but was another member of Mayweather's escort team). It makes you wonder what these celebrities are up to in their spare time:

A young, confused Lebron



Apparently Lebron James used to spend his time in the cornfields with Kevin Costner. Hey Lebron, "If you build it he will come...but I don't think he will bring your championship ring." Also, I advise that he puts a shirt on for two reasons; 1. It gets pretty cold in those cornfields, and 2. The tattoo on Lebron's back is not only a self proclaimed nickname but its also just a terrible tattoo. But hey, do what you got to do Lebron, I just hope you brought your talents to the ol' cornfields with your excellent body. 

 



Chewy and Wicket make a great battery



And what we have here is a sight to see. Chewbacca straddling the mound pitching to his battery mate, Wicket the Ewok. I'll tell you what, if I drafted Chewy I'd probably start him out in the bullpen and then slowly transition him into the starting rotation. I feel like he would be a four pitch guy with good late life. And for Wicket, no doubt the guy knows how to call a game and I'm sure he can handle a stick. Heck he and his buddies handled the Empire pretty smoothly. I wonder if Yoda is their agent, because he might make Scott Boras look like a schoolgirl. Either way, these two could help out a couple MLB squads.

Redunkulous

Last night in the Heat - Knicks game the Heat proved that the Knicks have no business being on the same floor with them even if it's at the Garden.  However, there was one bright spot in the Knicks' performance.  If you didn't get a chance to see J.R. Smith's dunk then go ahead and take a look below.

After seeing this dunk and some back-and-forth text messaging with a friend, aka Sparky Anderson, I asked myself who are the best dunkers of all time?  I immediately thought of guys like Michael Jordan, Vince Carter, Dominique Wilkins, and Dr. J, but there are many others.  Below I've compiled some videos of the NBA's greatest dunkers of all time in no particular order.  Enjoy and look out below!!

Vince Carter - Half Man Half Amazing, Vinsanity, Air Canada
 

Michael Jordan - Air Jordan, MJ, His Airness




Kobe Bryant - Black Mamba


















Julius Erving - Dr. J, The Doctor















Shawn Kemp - The Reign Man















Lebron James - King James, LBJ


Dominique Wilkins - The Human Highlight Film, Nique















Clyde Drexler - The Glide















Blake Griffin - Ginger Griff
















I'm taking off, you take it easy.
