This one ranks right up there as one of the gutsiest performances in NBA history.
In the 3rd quarter of Game 3 of the Heat vs Celtics playoff series, Dwyane Wade fell down to the floor after a turnover and brought down Rajon Rondo after getting entangled with him.
As Rondo extends his left arm to brace himself, the impact of the fall dislocated his elbow.
If it ain’t broke, why fix it?
Well, Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge must know something that we don’t.
In easily the most surprising trade before the NBA trade deadline, Boston sent its starting center Kendrick Perkins and backup point guard Nate Robinson to the Oklahoma City Thunder for forward Jeff Green and center Nenad Krstic.
This one reminded me of an old commercial for Sprite where a fat kid named Joey Boy attempted to dunk a ball but misses because, well, he’s just too fat and can’t jump high.
Glen Davis looks pretty much the older version of that kid too. Damn, I can’t find a video of that commercial anywhere.
But here’s the epic fail by “Big Baby” which somehow tells us that big babies can’t jump.
This game was one of the most anticipated in the Boston Celtics schedule.
Yes, a rematch between the defending NBA champs LA Lakers and the Boston Celtics are always anticipated but this one was even more special.
On Thursday night’s game, history is about to be made as Celtics guard Ray Allen needs two three-point shots to become the all time leading three point shooter in NBA history.
After missing the last seven games due to an ankle injury, Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo picked up where he left off by filling the stats sheet like crazy with 22 assists, 12 points, 10 rebounds, 6 steals and 1 block in his team’s thrilling 105-103 victory over the league-leading San Antonio Spurs today.
This is Rondo’s 11th career triple-double and second for this season. His 22 assists were the second-most in his career as he had 24 in an October 29, 2010 game against the New York Knicks that was his only other triple-double this season.
In a game against the New York Knicks last December 15, Paul Pierce hit the game winning jumper with 0.4 seconds left to break the New York Knicks’ 8-game winning streak.
As Pierce streaked towards the court emulating an airplane, a joyful Nate Robinson decided to piggyback him.
What followed is one that will forever be associated with “Kryptonate”, a faceplant. Fail.
