I’ve never kept it a secret that I’m a huge Rashad McCants fan. It should be no surprise, then, that I wanted to pass on this phenomenal ESPN story on McCants by Chris Palmer. Check it out. And remember, real recognize real, so stay familiar.

Check it out. A hilarious spoof of LeBron’s Decision, starring Paul Rudd and Steve Carell.
This is a Forbes story about the Knicks’ pitch to LeBron, complete with the slideshow presentation they gave him. Pretty cool!
Check it out! Three minutes long but well worth it. A fitting “sequel” to the “Cage Match” commercial from the last World Cup.
Two-Player Dunk, For Real
May 19
Courtesy of The Dagger, one of the coolest in-game scenarios I’ve ever seen. Two players alley-oop a ball together. Just watch.
Damn Shannon Brown. Seriously…that would have been maybe the greatest dunk in playoff history, and in the discussion for best of all time. Alas, a near miss…you know it’s a good near-dunk when a miss gets you texting friends and out of your seat. (Video courtesy of Ball Don’t Lie)
I love these UFC Primetime shows. The current installment, for Rashad Evans v. Quinton Jackson on May 29, promises to be the best yet because of the history of trash-talking between the two parties. Episode 1 was exactly what I expected, full of training highlights, ego-massaging, and a whole lot of shittalking.
Head over to MMAWeekly and check it out.

Courtesy of several tweets, links, and hat tips, The ODC has (finally) found video of Jordan Crawford dunking on LeBron James.
This is the video that was allegedly confiscated by Nike after it was caught on tape at the LeBron James Skills Academy. Crawford, a 6′4″ guard at Xavier, drops a two-hander on the King. Here is Crawford discussing the dunk at a point when it would apparently never be seen.
BUT…here is the video, in good quality, of the mystical mythical dunk itself. Witness.

Oh, and I’m also on Twitter, though I’m inclined to follow that sentence with ’sadly.’ You can follow me here.
We're Still Here
Mar 22
In the words of Hacksaw Jim Duggan….”TAKE IT EASSYYYYY!!” Sorry for the lack of articles last week and to begin this week…it’s been kind of a busy week or two, and with no other writers writing the content has slowed.
We’re still here, I’m still the man…just don’t expect every day content moving forward…maybe 3-times-a-week, or more when the mood strikes or the bench produces.
Smiles!!! Xoxo
