Video: That Jean-Claude Van Damme Volvo Commercial, But With Mark Cuban

Have you seen it?  That ridiculous Van Damme and Volvo commercial with the soft cooing of an Enya song in the background?  If not, watch it here and allow me to remind you that many guys in my generation were influenced by J-CVD, so that we thought  that doing the splits anywhere you wish was way cool.

Then think about whether that video would be any more hilarious if you saw the smuggy smile of a certain of NBA owner as the star of that commercial.  Well here it is. Courtesy of those Dallas Mavericks Media guys.

Oh La La:  If you're a fan of point guards finishing around the basket, I present two such clips.  Starting off, Shaun Livingston with the bouncy-ness on Robin Lopez.

And Damian Lillard with quite the twisty-looking layup.


Ugly:  Both the Bobcats and Bulls shot 36% from the field last night, so that explains all the opportunities that Carlos Boozer had en route to his 17 rebounds.

Double-Doubles:  Monta Ellis has been dishing the ball well this season but last night he got his first double double of the season with points and assists (24 & 10).  JJ Hickson scored 18 and grabbed all the rebounds (19) as the next highest person on his team had 6 (K. Faried).

Ouch: Not a good night for the head region

Steph Curry's head got pancaked by Marvin William's torso (warning: it looks as bad as it sounds).

then Chris Paul takes a Tony Allen shin to the lips.




OtherSome bros wore rockets jerseys courtside at the thunder nuggets game..so I guess this is how Tmac wears a suit...Check out this particularly slouchy Jazz fan..I missed out on the fact that Dave Chapelle looks like he's been working out a little and was at the T-wolves game the other night (thanks James for always finding the goodies).

Video: Kids Interview Knicks About Their Fashion Choices



Just when I thought I knew all about the fashion no-no's worn by current Knicks players (Tyson's red boots, and Amare's Ugg and tights combo), Ryan and Jaylah had to go and reveal that Iman Shumpert owns a skirt or a kilt or both.  Also, the Knicks added a free agent forward this summer that is probably the worst dresser of them all.

A good monday fashion reminder to all that just cus you got lots of money and you live in new york doesn't mean you can dress yourself any better than a kid, as evident by these interviews done by some kids.

Fun:
The demar derozan/rudy gay combo may not be providing lots of wins, but the Raps are entetaining as heck and competing to the final buzzer.




a really nice part of that highlight is Kyle Lowry flying by and smoothly transitioning from put-back attempt to celebration fist-pump.

Heads up Jodie Meeks...


Say what you will about Jennings not being a true point guard, but he sure throws a solid full-speed backboard alley-oop.

Freakin' bad:  None of the Kings starters had more than 9 points, 5 rebounds or 3 assists.

Fantastic:  Jordan Hill was going up against a formidable front court of the Pistons with Josh Smith, Monroe and Andre Drummond.  Hill has been playing like an all star and last night may have been his best game yet, as he logged a career high with 27 points and 17 rebounds.

Also, Steve Blake dished out 16 assists and the Lakeshow won.  So keep throwing your streetball oops, Detroit, our former-backup point guard and former-backup power foward lit you up tonight.

This pass from a Grizzly Gasol



Other:  Jodie Meeks celebrated a three last night by skipping back on defense with his mouth open and directly skyward; I cannot find a photo of this, so if you see it, please direct me to it...As of tonight, Tim Duncan and Ray Allen are tied for 21st on the career points all-time leaderboard...D'antoni probably kidding about Kobe in practice.
