Kobe Jumps Over Pool with Snakes

Another Kobe Bryant Hyperdunk promo video.  The Black Mamba himself jumps over a pool full of snakes and dunks the ball on the other end.

Enjoy!

A great follow-up to his Aston Martin stunt.

Chicago Wins Draft Lottery

After a very disappointing season, the Chicago Bulls finally see some light when the team won the draft lottery, giving them the right to pick the best prospect in the upcoming draft.

“After this season, we needed a break and I think we just got one tonight.” said Steve Schanwald, the Bulls’ executive VP of business operations.

The miserable Miami Heat settled for the second pick and the Minnesota Timberwolves will go third. The NBA Draft day is on June 26 in New York.

The Bulls will almost certainly choose between college hoops players Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley. Rose played the point for the University of Memphis and carried the team within minutes to the national title against University of Kansas in his freshman year. Beasley is a forward from Kansas State University who averaged 26.5 points and and (NCAA-best) 12.5 rebounds in his freshman year.

The 2008 Draft Order:

1. Chicago Bulls

2. Miami Heat

3. Minnesota Timberwolves

4. Seattle Supersonics

5. Memphis Grizzlies

6. New York Knicks

7. Los Angeles Clippers

8. Milwaukee Bucks

9. Charlotte Bobcats

10. New Jersey Nets

11. Indiana Pacers

12. Sacramento Kings

13. Portland Trailblazers

14. Golden State Warriors

Cheap Shot Bob’s Antics

I wasn’t able to watch the Hornets-Spurs game so I had no idea about the Horry-West incident. I logged on to the net and checked out videos to see what’s up with the buzz. So here’s what I got:

After seeing the video, I thought it was intentional given the fact that the Spurs in general is a dirty team (just kidding). Jokes aside, I really think that the bump was intentional. I know it’s the playoffs and hard hit and bumps are bound to happen, but this shot was different. David West played with back problems and Horry was aware of that. West was backpedaling and then out of nowhere, Horry’s forearms lands squarely on West’s lower back. In addition to that, West was trying to deflect Ginobili’s pass and his feet were not on the ground when Horry bumped him. West could’ve easily lost his balance and dropped hard on the floor, risking serious injuries.

Let’s take another look:

Oh and before I forget, the Spurs fans only made it worse. I think they know that their team is rough (or dirty) and they were actually happy to support it. The Spurs fans were chanting “Horry, Horry, Horry” while David West was grimacing with pain. Classy.
