Longest Slam Dunk ? Rick Barry Old School Freethrows

This takes some skill here...

After a lot of bouncing - Longest dunk on of course some kind of Asian game show. Over 20 feet



But this dunk is a unique attempt - I wonder if the building insurance covers this type of activity.
Good effort but I bet he can't do that again




Apparently these old dudes pay money to listen to Rick Barry tell them how to shot underhanded free throws... awesome. I am pretty sure none of these guys take up his method.
I bet every NBA game he watches Barry says - "he would have made that shot if he did it my way..."

Haka Dance All Blacks, Texas and British Style

What is a Haka?
A haka is a traditional dance form of the Māori of New Zealand. It is a posture dance with shouted accompaniment, performed by a group. Wikipedia

The All Blacks National New Zealand Rugby team performing pregame.



Texas High School Haka

At the sound of a tone blown over a large conch shell, 17-year-old senior defensive tackle Alex Kautai threw off his helmet, freeing a mane of curly black hair. He shouted several sentences in a foreign tongue and waved his arms as 93 visibly agitated teammates gathered behind him on the sidelines.

On cue, they dropped into a wide, crouching stance and began the ritual known as the haka. "Ka Mate! Ka Mate! Ka Ora!" (We're going to die! We're going to die! We're going to live!), they chanted in unison as the fans went wild. For the next 60 seconds, the players acted out an ancient battle in which a big hairy man saves the life of a Maori chieftain.

With each phrase, the players slapped their thighs, arms or chests. They stomped back and forth, symbolically thrusting and jabbing at the enemy. At the end of the dance, Mr. Kautai jumped in the air and landed on one foot, his right fist in the air and his tongue lolling out of his mouth as he sneered fiercely. Article A Tongan war dance enlivens football in Texas

Make your own Laka Haka from England where they cant seem to beat the All Blacks.

Did you See? Elephants in the backyard...

Several tornadoes dropped from strong storms moving across Kansas on Thursday, destroying at least one home, causing power outages and spooking a pair of escaped circus elephants in WaKeeney. Clearly by the looks of this website Wakeeney, KS is not taking advantage of the publicity. Another reason not to support circuses - http://www.circuses.com/

Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks

Originally out in 2003 by author Max Brooks, you open this book and you think ha this is funny but then as you read it you kind of get scared. He finds historical attacks of the past - like haitian voodoo zombies rising from the water, attack on fisherman by flesh eating undead... His undead theories are all based on the Solanum virus... not really a virus right?

Celtics vs. Lakers Once Again

From NBA Classics some great moments and great players. These are complete feeds with interesting commercials. The graphics and music are classic.

Laker vs. Celtics Video 1984 Game 7 Finals-
The NBA should run a promo with Larry Bird and Magic Johnson in rocking chairs... They could be like "back in the day, we played with NO air conditioning and fouled hard. What is the "flopping" that the NBA needs to discuss. Back in the day we ran plays and when we won our fans ran on the court like a bunch of maniacs! Besides guys played with migraines and if you got hit in the eye with beer you wore googles!"

Pregame build up

Part 2 - Kareem has a migraine, Beat LA chant in pregame.


Starting lineup start at 2:11
Michael Cooper
Magic Johnson
Kareem Adbul Jabbar
Kurt Rambis
Jame Worthy

Celtics lineup at 3:08
Dennis Johnson
Gerald Henderson
Robert "Chief" Parrish
Cedric "Cornbread" Maxwell
Larry Bird

On the bench Danny Ainge and Kevin McHale

Only 23 Teams in the league back then. Today 30. so you will never see such a stacked full of hall of famers and legends team again.

Man in the Box - Star Wars vs. Sports - Did you see?

This is a funny video from Man in the Box. The world of office cubes and ridiculous coworkers and whose topic makes them a bigger loser - Sports trivia or Star Wars... These guys should be hired by The Office.

Michael Jordan vs. Kobe Bryant Video Same Moves

See more funny videos at CollegeHumor

This is pretty cool video and somebody spent a lot of time finding almost identical plays of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. They both have(had) the same explosive speed to the basket. Is the NBA wishing for a Lakers vs. Celtics Final or what... They could even show the games on network TV if that happened? Last years Spurs sweep in the NBA final was a record low.

Looks like all Lakers games on TNT so the NBA can be happy to showcase the games to 4 or 5 million homes about the same as a Spongebob episode.

Did you See? Clone Wars Coming this Summer

New Trailer for Clone Wars looks intense. Star Wars Clone Wars Video Trailer

I have doubts about the emotion of the cartoon characters because they seem not "real enough"...But I suppose with some of the acting in the latest movies the cartoon characters may be as "real"...

Still a great time period between movies 2 and 3 that explore the mythical Clone Wars.

Sports Book - Online Store - Check it out

Some Good Sports Books... I will be adding - http://astore.amazon.com/httpdidyouseb-20

The best one is "Can I Keep My Jersey" Paul Shirley tracks his NBA, Spanish League, CBA, ABA, Greek League, Russian League journeys.

He really shows the absurdities of NBA guaranteed contracts to out of touch high schoolers and there are some hilarious amd uncomfortable entries detailing his ruptured spleen, battles with laundry machines, and his odd religious NBA teammates.

Also a must read to understand what Oakland has accomplished and what drives the Red Sox and now the Tampa Rays. Moneyball

Tracking Your Fingers with the Wii !

"Using an LED array and some reflective tape, you can use the infrared camera in the Wii remote to track objects, like your fingers, in 2D space. This lets you interact with your computer simply by waving your hands in the air similar to the interaction seen in the movie "Minority Report".

From the mind and website of Johnny Lee Chung

Incredible

After watching these videos you will feel not so smart then if you are like me you think man I can wait to play HALO with this technology.

Celtics Game via NBA Game Cast

For those of us without ESPN... The Game Cast is similar a slightly upgraded Castle Wolfenstein. on a miss the ball bounces high and it says MISS.

So great moments in Hawks History look like this.



I actually thought this was GAME 7! Why can't the Celtics draft guys like Joe Johnson...

Notice the Commercial at the bottom of the game cast - "Meet Your New Go to Guy" It will not be Rajon Rondo anytime soon.

For actual NBA Gamecast on ESPN - here it is http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/gamecast

Plastic Soup = Ocean Owned ....

From PBS. I told you it was going to be random... Did you see this... Oh I know why you didnt see this because it is on PBS...

http://www.pbs.org/strangedays/

If you can stand the slow moving, scary music and overall depressing show this is good stuff to know... However I think they need to market better and title the youtube videos... Ocean Owned, Sick Ocean, plastic bags WTF, etc... Edward Norton is kinda of like Al Gore jr. i.e. - "the world is going to end...let me say again the world is going to end..." and no one is sure to be inspired .
http://www.youtube.com/user/StrangeDaysAction - the views are so low...


"A floating heap of plastic trash the size of Texas floats in the Pacific ocean, containing everlasting by products of our modern life: plastic toys, plastic bags, plastic bottles and more. What can we do? "

Hello - "a floating heap of plastic trash the size of Texas!!!!!!"

from BBC - New "Battle of Midway" over plastics - 30 minutes of cleanup....I am sure you could do this at the beach in U.S.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7314240.stm

Think about this when you large neighborhood store gives you 12 plastic bags for 13 items- "is plastic okay?"

Reporter and Sled / 3 for Effort

Did you see this...

First off - Owned, sled, reporter always funny , you wonder if it is fake - The way he kept going - "reporting from..." but that is dedication.



And I was searching for ... look at this. Basketball dunk gone wrong.

What are the judges thinking giving him a 3?

Is that all you got !

This only has like 12,000 hits compared to 500,000 for just the dunk...but the complete scene of the Ahmad Rashard vs. Shaquille O'Neal circa 1992 is great.

score 1 - 1 !
