Small sample size of course, but its just another example how great Kyrie has been thus far.

 

[RipCity32]

IDK who you are trying to prove it to We all basically believe Kyrie is dope

 

[elcheato]

I went through some rough times last season, this is necessary.

 

[RipCity32]

Basically the same reason I praise Monroe when he does well lol.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

That isn't a dunk.

Haha funny that you bring this up.. I never watch basketball nor know anything about it.. As soon as I seen that highlight last night, I said "That was a dunk? didn't even look like one to me."

 

[elcheato]

Meh, it was close enough.

The Dwight Howard superman dunk still gets me though.. Dude threw it 3 feet away from the hoop and won a dunk contest. That's garbage.

make it happen lmao

Are you fucking kidding me?

Analyzing a dunk frame by frame to see if it technically was dunk or a throw in or whatever?? Jesus

Dwight Howard to the Nets

Unless the Lakers are willing to do a Andrew Bynum-Pau Gasol combo, this has become the best deal on the board. I say "become" because this wasn't the case a couple of months ago. However, MarShon Brooks' emergence has given the Nets another tantalizing piece to put into a Howard deal. He is out with a broken toe but that shouldn't bother the Magic, who would be making this deal for the long term.

Because of Kris Humphries' involvement it couldn't be consummated until March 1 and can't be done on the Trade Machine, but the deal is Dwight Howard, Chris Duhon and Hedo Turkoglu to New Jersey for Brooks, Humphries, Brook Lopez and Mehmet Okur. The Nets could actually get a $3.1 million trade exception for Lopez as well, while the Magic would get one worth $3.2 million for Duhon.

In addition, New Jersey can include four first-round picks: Its own picks in 2012, 2014 and 2016, and a pick owed to it by Houston from the Terrence Williams trade. It's the best way to get Orlando out of its salary-cap mess and give it the pieces to rebuild, and obviously it puts New Jersey in great shape with a Howard-Williams core.

Hollinger makes some sense for once.

Bosh: Eeeeh
Iggy: Uuuuugh
Vucevic: Wuuuh?
Bron: The fuck?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Meh, it was close enough.

Yeah that thing was like a jump shot lmao

 

[Pugz]

that was a dunk. not best of all-time. dwights DC dunk was not.

 

[Mexi]

So if I jump from half court, and throw the ball at the rim and it goes in, did I dunk it?

no because blake was above the rim

perk was a dunk
mozgov was a throw in, but it was still a great play
with me though, i still call mozgov a dunk. it's all relative, seriously

 

[elcheato]

Mychel Thompson is starting looool
