Did you know Jerry West doesn't get royalties for being "the logo" because the NBA won't admit the silhouette is him.
The photo on this magazine cover is also the real photo used in the NBA logo.
This dunk by Michael Jordan is one of the most underrated in contest history.
12 years before Vince's elbow dunk, MJ jumped off 1 foot, pumped it, head at the rim, reversed it & put his arm in the rim. He didn't hang but could have.
Judges gave him a 47!
“One thing that really irritates me is hearing ballers say they should be in the NBA. How they are so much better than Steve Kerr or any guard relegated to the bench. Yo, money, Steve Kerr will give you 50!”
- Kenny Smith
JABARI SMITH JR: “You played against my dad in your first NBA game ever, Sacramento.”
LEBRON: “Why you do that to me?”
JABARI: “You feel old don’t you?” 😂
Earlier in the season, Draymond Green said Dennis Smith Jr will "NEVER" dunk on him because "this isn't summer league bro" and "better luck next time?" Next time happened last night and this is what Draymond did...
The 1st time I heard the name KOBE BRYANT was in 1995 when I was channel surfing & came across this high school dunk contest with him, Cory Powell & Lester Earl on ESPN. After seeing 1 dunk I hit record on the VCR without even thinking about what I was taping over.
The Footage
MON-FRI: Frank Session has a 9-5 job, selling phones.
SAT-SUN: Frank "Nitty" works at the Drew League, destroying NBA players like Denzel Valentine.

2009: Pro dunkers like Kenny Dobbs went viral & became internet sensations with the under both legs dunk.
2016: Aaron Gordon did it when he was "robbed" in the NBA Dunk Contest
2019: High schoolers like Jimma Gatwech are doing it in games!
Crazy...
😂 Funniest thing I’ve seen today is Dion Waiters, Al Jefferson & Eric Gordon’s voice acting in NBA2K.
These guys make Shaq, MJ & KD look like Marlon Brando.
I was showing my daughters some Hailey Van Lith clips & stats and was very impressed with these HS numbers.
37 PTS, 10 REB, 10 AST, 14 STL
46 PTS, 12 3PT
Most impressive: 4.0 GPA
Kyle Korver x Diamond D - Flowin'
The Ashton Kutcher lookalike was a 2nd round pick traded for cash (used to pay a Summer League fee & a new copy machine) and is now one of 3 players still active from the 2003 Draft. The other 2 are LeBron James & Carmelo Anthony.
My favorite moment from the 2018 BILAAG.
Bone Collector calls out “the white guy.”
Mac McClung swats BC’s shot & says, “I play real basketball.”
I crack up in the background.
So how good are NBA players? Jordan Stevens went undrafted, was cut from the 2018 Cavs & will let you know you never had a chance of making the league.
This is awesome. I showed my daughters this vid of 15 year old Azzi Fudd scoring on some of the best boys in the nation at the Steph Curry camp. 10 minutes later, they were walking to the school basketball court.
