Video: Spike Lee talkin' about an old Knick

Spike Lee could narrate himself eating pumpkin pie and it'd sound exciting.  But the NBA chose for Spike to share about back in the day when he couldn't afford court side seats and the Knicks were kicking butt not with Melo and gang but with a fellow named Bernard King.

Well, Spike only sits courtside nowadays and the only Bernard in the league is that 27 year old rookie on the Mavs.  However, the Knicks are in first place and royally kicking butt, so I guess that's why this video was made in the first place. 

The mega-old knicks are dominating the League and the most braggadocious Knick fan of them all is subtly gloating.  Makes the idea that today the world was supposed to end a little believable dontyathink?

Video: Mavericks Win the Holiday Song Singing Game

During this time of every year, the PR reps for most NBA teams convince their millionaire employees to sing a song or two to wish their fans happy holidays.

Since I am personally a huge fan of NBA players trying really hard to be smooth while singing off a teleprompter, I have been torn about how many of these videos I should post.

However, this year these teams have really stepped up their holiday music videos, including to my memory the first Hannukah song ever sung by a collection of NBA players.  So I've selected, based on my expertise of off-key singing, the best holiday songs by your favorite NBA teams.

Third Place: a shout-out to Omri Caspi, Amar'e Stoudemire and our gefilte fish-loving friends. 




Second Place: some teams have tried to up the ante with the production of their videos, such as the technology savvy Warriors and their fancy backdrops:


First Place: The team that takes top prize for most hilarious holiday song has to go to the Mavs.  How many teams can boast a Christmas carol featuring a crooning German, a hilarious American who iss kind-of German, southern drawled OJ Mayo, scatting Shawn Marion and of course a Jim Carey doppleganger coach who isn't too shy to bust a move. 


Happy Holidays friends.

Video: Blake Griffin's Latest Kia Commercial

Took a break to try to get a pair of the xi's and scan my google reader and found the latest of the KIA Optima commercials.

Hope y'all laugh at BG doin' the gangnam on the stationary pony.

Blog Update: Entirely Unacceptable Excuse, Again

I know for the second post in a row, I am taking time out to mention that there will be no blog updates.  Unacceptable, I know. Shame on me  For the rest of the week, I will be prepping for my last Java project / taking my final (that's later today, so wish me luck if you can get over being upset at me).

Not completely a Santa Clause with only bad presents, I do have some good presents or in this case good news.

1)   Power Ranger-Kings: Lots has changed since the last PR that I put out. Some of you guys have gone from the weak green rangers sans the golden shoulder pads and transformed into the smooth-talkin' white ranger with the golden shoulder pads.  If you don't understand this reference, I'll explain it in an up-coming post along with a run-down of each of the teams in the league.

2) Wrap Up of the First Mini Game("League Pick'em) and Introduction to the Second League Mini Game: We have had about 6 week of pick'ems and I wanted to announce the overall winners and give out some prizes. I will touch base with commishner, Traveling Tim about scheduling a banquet where I can give those out or perhaps just a breakfast at Dennys.
