Ok guys , I saw this on a sports highlight show and I just had to find it and post it here. I'm not sure if you guys have seen this already or not but this is just simply sick.

Click at your own discretion but be forewarned that this is the sickest thing I've seen in a long while.

just to be the devils advocate here, when he took off he had already turned his body at least 90 degrees with his back almost to the basket adn when the ball went in he wasnt fully back around so its a stretch to give him a 720. It is however still awesome.

^^lol, honestly I don't really know how they measure that stuff. Some people argued that it should really be a 540. Again, I dunno, I just know it's more than a 360 and up until now that's all I thought was humanly possible.

I saw that earlier today on a Laker forum, that is just ridiculous. That would win the dunk contest at All Star Weekend.

Talking of sick dunks, check out this Kobe one from his old Adidas commercial.

that commercial was sooo fake......in that same commercial they showed kobe dunking from outside the freethrow line and no matter how easy he made that look it takes a lot of elevation and great ball control to be able to do that dunk which iguodala tried once in the dunk contest and knew he had no chance of doing. using computers..they somehow made it look as if kobe actually did that dunk.

Yes, yes its all a big conspiracy, i heard ILM did the special effects.

the chandler trade is as official as it can be, although nothing is 100% until the 12th.

HOWEVER

there is a BIG time rumour going around. It is that the bulls will trade Deng, Chandler, and Tyrus Thomas for Kevin Garnet.

I gotta say, heinrich, Gordon, nocioni, KG, Wallace sounds SICK! However I love the youth of Deng and thomas and while this gives the bulls a couple years to take a championship it doesnt give them the same future as these young guys do.

I think KG will be staying in Minny but anythings possible as the off season has already shown.

A couple more trades are Derek Fisher to Utah for Devin Brown, Keith McCloud and Andre Owens. Also Marquies Daniels to Indiana for Austin Croshere.

A rumoured 3 way trade i heard is Marco Jaric to NO from Minny, Desmond Mason to Portland from NO and Darius Miles to Minny from Portland, dont know how much truth is in this though.

There is no such thing as Spanish Choclatate is there?...unless i guess you consider the Chocalate in Spain to be Spainish Chocolate, in which case Yao would be Asian Chocolate....no, Rodriguez nickname should be Spanish Coffee.......

Rodriguez was introduced to Portland today and they explained the nickname. Its simply because he modelled his style after Jason Williams. He did say, however, that he doesn't try as crazy of stuff as J-Will did in games.

did i miss the discussion about the new ball? or has no-one seen it yet?

You missed it. It was more of a couple quick comments and then we moved on.

One of Bill Waltons quotes thanks to Kool-

During a game that didn't even involve the Rockets: “Yao Ming is the best thing to happen to the NBA in a long time. He is just a beautiful person inside and out. The vision, the creativity, the gentleness of spirit … he has it all.”

Walton 😍 Yao

Hey, are the Knicks and the Kings NBA??? I was sent to shoot the game tonight in Las Vegas. I don't know sh*t about basketball.

^^Yeah, you must be talking about the summer league that they're having over there in Vegas. This is where both drafted and undrafted rookies, free agents and other players who just want a chance to show off their skills or get in shape participate and hopefully impress some of the team scouts that will be on hand to see it.

I hear both Artest and Amare will be participating this year.

ah fair enough... didnt see anything about it.

yea amare has been looking really good in vegas. Besides summer in vegas wouldnt all the players wanna be there? i would.

Mike James is gonna sign with the twovles.

There is supposedly a six team trade that might happen tomorrow. From what I've heard, Iverson might be in it.

There are also reports that the Kings will sign and trade Bonzi to Indiana for Jeff Foster and Sarunas Jasikevicius. I like the trade from a Kings standpoint.

who all is involved the AI deal?

I have no idea. Heard the trade on the radio without any of the specific teams mentioned. Still in the works, I guess.

There is a rumor of Allen Iverson to the nuggets for Marcus Camby and Andre Miller. I don't like the trade very much, but it could get us closer to Oden. 😛 Sixers are also trying to get Al Harrington.

ive heard denver is the front runner for AI
