Quick clip I stole from Yahoo of Nets Point Guard Devin Harris getting owned somewhere presumably in England by an ex-streetballer named Stuart Tanner. I’m sure a full game might pan out differently but it’s always entertaining to see streetball applied to the embarrasment of others! Check out Streetball.co.uk if you’re a fan!
I was never a Knicks fan, but this shirt by Free Gold Watch deserves a post. It shows an action shot of the classic John Starks lefty dunk over Jordan and Horace Grant in the 1993 NBA Playoffs. It has Starks’ name on the Knicks logo and a faded 2 on the back leaving Starks’ #3 (symbolizing Jordan’s disappearence on the play). Remember the the good ol’ NBA days in the 90’s? I can hear the NBA on NBC theme playing in my head. Scoop this tee over at Become Fitted for $32.00 plus shipping.
David Stern made the decision to fine Paul Pierce for the “menacing gesture” he made towards the Atlanta bench in game 3, moments after Al Horford taunted him when he was bent down on the floor. There have been a number of rumors regarding what Pierce’s hand gesture meant. I’ve heard anything from: “3’s up,” a common Boston slogan; “you still gotta win 3 games,” meaning the series was about to be at 2-1 in favor of the C’s when Pierce threw it up; “it’s only game 3″; and I’ve heard people go as far as to claim it’s Pierce flashing an Inglewood/Bloods flag. Whatever it was supposed to mean, I didn’t see anything too menacing about it. Pierce is one of the quieter superstars in the league and is in no way a menacing or intimidating figure. Stern went overboard. Why didn’t he these dudes?:
Shit, Menino is even throwin it up. That’s gotta show it’s Beantown related.
