As discussed previously on SLT and EVERYWHERE ELSE in the world, Lebron James/Nike confiscated all footage of Lebron getting dunked on by some kid who was attending the Nike/Lebron Basketball camp. Well guess what… the video finally leaked.
This is what all the hype was about? He barely got dunked on by some uber-athletic young kid. Is that a huge surprise? Does that mean that this Jamal Crawford fella is better than LBJ? If Nike and the Lebron camp didn’t try and hide the video this would have been a non-story… good call.
This video sucks. I admit it. There is some joke here about how this dog is better than 75% of the draft picks last night but that is too obvious. It is a slow afternoon here at SLTHQ. We are currently practicing our MJ dance moves for SLT’s Memoriam Showcase tonight at Naked Lunch… but this time Hurricane will grab his own crotch.

The best part of this pic is Kobe looming in the background thinking to himself “why can’t I be down with the fellers?”. Hilarious.
But I digress. So Shaq was traded to the Cavs last night for two contracts, a draft pick that will never play in the NBA and a sack of cash. In a classic panic move, the Cavs took on Shaq to defend Dwight Howard because Dwight Howard beat them in the playoffs this year. Here is the unofficial statement that Cavs ownership sent to Lebron after the trade:
See? We will do ANYTHING to get you a championship. And by ANYTHING we mean we will get an aged center who has been known to hog the spotlight and has played for 4 teams in 5 years. Please don’t leave us next year. If you want, we will sign any aging player we can get our hands on. We know that the pick-n-roll is what killed us during the Orlando series, and that Shaq is not even close to quick enough to help with that but we are VERY confident he will convince you that Cleveland is the best.
I really hope this ends badly and Shaq can just retire and be out of our lives for ever. And by out of our lives I mean in a studio and on every single medium so he gets as much attention as possible.
Oh, and just for the record, I bet Kobe’s ass tastes MUCH better than Lebron’s.
Here is what Kobe was thinking during every single question that was asked last night:
“Bite me Shaq”
It was funny to see Kobe celebrate with his teammates… you can just tell that they don’t like him personally. But, he won them all a championship so they should at least be grateful.
Kobe’s NBA Finals Line:
Points – 32.4
Assists – 7.4
Rebounds – 5.6
Steals – 1.4
Blocks – 1.4
Girls Raped – 0
All-in-all just a fantastic performance by the games best player (not LBJ).
So on my B-day, which is next Wednesday Tim Donaghy is to be released from prison. For all of you that do not know who that is probably need not read on. No, just kidding, please come back, I will explain. He was an NBA ref who took bribes from the Mob to affect the final scores of games. He of course got caught and sang like a Arthur in the shower and was sent to prison for 18 months or something..
Anyway, not sure how this happened, but he did not get killed, so that is a good thing for him, but he did get assaulted by a “large hard object” hmmm..ok not a hard object, the report is heavy, but one can only assume what the real story was.
Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy will be released from prison on June 17, 2009. Donaghy, convicted for betting on professional basketball is serving a 15-month sentence at the federal prison camp in Pensacola, Florida. Donaghy’s release date has recently been in question due to concerns about his medical condition. Donaghy was injured during an assault in November of 2008. During the assault, another inmate claiming ties to the New York mob beat Donaghy with a heavy object. Donaghy suffered severe knee and leg injuries that will require surgery. Donaghy will complete his prison term at a halfway house in Tampa Florida.
In honor of the Lakers stepping up like a true championship caliber team and putting the hurt on the Rockets in Game 7 here is the latest installment of the Where Will Amazing Happen? parodies. Did anyone see what happened in the Celtics game? (burn)
The Houston Rockets, without Yao and Tracy, forced the Lakers to a game 7? Really? How can the Lakers blow out the Rockets by 40 in Game 5 then get outscored 27 – 15 in the 1st quarter? If Luis Scola and Aaron Brooks light you up for a combined 50 points you need to reevaluate things a bit.
This guy? Really?
On a positive note, there are two game 7’s on Sunday… Sunday Funday indeed.
I am not really sure what KG is meaning with the “walking fingers” he is giving to Orlando. The obvious explanation is “walk up off this court dog”. But maybe it was “Yo, dog, I am about to walk out of here now that the game is done so if you want to talk meet me in the locker room”. The possibilities are endless. Here is my question… what the hell is KG doing on the bench? Doesn’t he need surgery? Why wouldn’t he get it over with so he can have as much time as possible to rehab? Is he planning to come back for the Cleveland series? Willis Reed type shit? No way they can lose a homepage if he does to do that.
There is a report out (no source sorry) that says Derek Fisher is going to be suspended for Game 3 because he laid a pick (read: laid out) on Luis Scola. What kind of bullshit is this? Granted, it was a HARD pick and fine, he got ejected. But a whole other full game suspension? Why does everyone say that NHL playoffs are the best of the majors? Because the intensity is multiplied 10 fold. That is what happens in the NBA too… you WANT people to play harder. You can’t call meaningless fouls in the last minute and you can’t suspend players for playing hard.
For the record, while I am happy that Artest got ejected because that left Battier to defend Kobe alone he didn’t deserve it. Hopefully Artest, Kobe and Fisher aren’t suspended… hopefully the teams don’t play less hard for the rest of the series.
To quote Simmons… I am getting sick of the No Balls League.
The 2nd Round Western Conference Playoff series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets begins tonight. I am a homer. This is a fact. But if I wasn’t, I don’t think I could come up with any scenario that the Lakers don’t win in 5 or 6 games.
The Lakers have a CLEAR edge at PG, SG and PF and a much stronger bench. The one thing that scares me is what Artest will do in the series. He is one of the best all around players in the game. If he is asked to d up Kobe, which I think he will be, h
I am gay for Artest and still wish the Lakers pulled the trade for him a couple years ago. He is just fantastic. He is as good a defender as Bruce Bowen but just not a dirty (brawl in Detroit excluded).
Another match-up to watch closely is Yao v Bynum. Tons of people are saying Yao has the edge here but I just don’t buy it. Bynum is turning into one of the premiere defenders in the league and is quick enough to d-up Yao in the perimeter to squash those easy j’s that Yao gets.
So on my B-day, which is next Wednesday Tim Donaghy is to be released from prison. For all of you that do not know who that is probably need not read on. No, just kidding, please come back, I will explain. He was an NBA ref who took bribes from the Mob to affect the final scores of games.
