    I honestly bet Amir Johnson forgot that he had already dribbled as well.

      If so, he remembered pretty quick, because it only took him about 3 seconds to bust out laughing as he ran back down the court!

        Damn, too bad, I was about to give him a spot on the Javale McGee all stars.

          I think a lot of people are overlooking the impact that Mike Malone has had. The Warriors paid big bucks to have him on the bench as the defensive coordinator and it's paying off. If the results keep up, he will not be an assistant coach next year.

          Malone was Mike Brown's assistant in Cleveland and he's the guy who convinced Lebron that, in order to be a truly great player, he had to be great on defense.

                Javale McGee all-stars

                LOL

                I nominate Ricky Davis, even though he's no longer in the league. He deserves a spot.

                      Could be, I dunno. I've heard that he sort of has a grating personality that has prevented him from getting a HC job, but who knows. I was surprised he was crossed off the list in Charlotte and Portland as soon as he was. It's hard to believe he won't get a shot next year.

                      But he's not dumb. I believe he's the highest paid assistant in the league right now. I dunno how desirable the Wiz job would be to him, for example. He might pass on something like that and wait for a more desirable one. Whatever the case, he's put himself in a very good position from a career standpoint.

                      I hope the Warriors can keep him, but right now I kind of doubt it.

                        Quincy Douby scored 75 points in a Chinese league game (highlight video in link)



                        seems like the guy likes to shoot, 9-15 from three and 16-20 on free throws!

                        75 points sounds impressive until you hear that he broke the previous record of 71 points set by the immortal Andre Emmitt, and Douby's teammate Eddy Curry scored 20 points and grabbed 11 points in the victory.

                          I really, really doubt it ends this way, but both the Lakers and Celtics are out of the playoffs right now. When's the last time that happened? Like 1953?

                            Try 1994.

                            It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

                            Division Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
                            Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005
                            NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004

                                Still think the Pacers should give a very hard look at Kenyon Martin and Delonte West.

                                Both would be solid fits. Could trade DJ/Tyler/Pends for young players not ready to play or picks (2nd rounders most likely).
