]]>In honor of that a$$holes' birthday today, here's a timeline of memorable and great moments from arguably the greatest Laker of all-time.
A couple of years ago, Bleacher Report writer Adam Fromal created a nice tribute to the former iVillage writer called "34 Most Amazing Kobe Bryant Career Highlights to Celebrate Mamba's 34th Birthday." Here's his list plus 6 (or more) videos to celebrate each year of Kobe Bryant's life.
If that wasn't a cornucopia of Kobeness for you then feel free to spend the remaining part of your day watching these bonus vids.

]]>The post Allen Iverson Talks About Stepping Over Tyronn Lue In The 2001 NBA Finals appeared first on www.ebooksnet.com.
]]>It's undoubtedly one of the most memorable?moments in basketball history.
It's a moment every baller from grade school to old-man-pick-up games wants to pull off at least once. It's on my bucket list. It's arguably the greatest highlight in NBA Finals history. No, I'm not talking about Jordan's switching hands lay-up, shoulder shrug after six threes or game-winner after a shove. I'm not talking about Dr J's under the backboard reverse layup or Magic Johnson's game-winning baby skyhook. I'm talking about the signature step over Allen Iverson did to Lakers' guard Tyronn Lue in Game 1 of the 2001 NBA Finals -- June 6th of 2001 to be exact.
It was textbook from the get-go with Iverson flawlessly conducting another ankle-breaking highlight by grabbing the ball in the corner, taking Lue baseline, then cutting back by going through his legs and pulling up for the long two. Everything was perfect. From Iverson's smooth move to the way Lue fell behind him. Hollywood couldn't script it any better if they?tried and not even the greatest of actors could have played it out any more perfect. After Iverson drained the shot, he turned around to run back on defense and saw Lue lying right in front of him. So what would you do in this situation? If you are Iverson, you would give the coldest stare you've ever lain on anyone and then proceed to walk over them in slow motion.
As much as we love to celebrate this moment every year as if it was a holiday, Lue doesn't care for the invites and has a pretty funny reply to anyone who brings it up.
Ty Lue's reaction: "Did they put up the anniversary of my championship ring a couple days later?" https://t.co/mNVVjtkOqI

But don't think Lue is a total Scrooge about the play. He did pose for a picture with a guy wearing the iconic moment on a shirt and did get a nice paycheck from the Wizards, thanks to Iverson.
Also worth mentioning about this game is Iverson had a game-high 48 points in the victory and this was the only victory against the Lakers during this postseason.

]]>The post God Shammgod & The Original Practitioners of the "Shammgod" Crossover appeared first on www.ebooksnet.com.
]]>You have probably heard the name Shammgod and seen a "Shammgod crossover" more times than you have ever seen an actual play by the man the move was named after. The same man who taught Kobe Bryant how to improve his crossover. That man, or should I say God, is God Shammgod (formerly known as Shammgod Wells).
Thanks to this new "mini-documentary" from B/R, the world actually gets to see rare footage of the former McDonalds All-American, Providence star and New York legend with a bigger cult following than many of the most popular players in the basketball hall of fame. It sounds odd to say a 45th draft pick -- from the not-so-deep 1997 draft with Tim Duncan (#1) and Tracy McGrady (#9) -- who only lasted 20 games in the NBA has a bigger fanbase than many NBA greats, but via writers, bloggers, TV commentators, mixtape makers, barbershops and great NBA point guards, his name not only continues to live on, it gets bigger and more legendary every year.
In the doc, handle Gods like Jamal Crawford, Damian Lillard and Kyrie Irving talks about the "deadly" move while some of the best executions of the move -- from Chris Paul to Manu Ginobili to Markelle Fultz -- are shown.
"The move itself is so wicked." Says Jamal Crawford. "It's identifiable. You know it's his as soon as you see it. And I've seen people over the years try to imitate it but nobody can make it look the way he does."
There's also an interesting part about Shammgod's first encounter with Kobe Bryant and Kobe's dad asking him to give his son a few tips to make him a better ball handler. Here are a few clips of Kobe and his underrated handles in action.

The Shammgod is kind of like "Coke" and "Aspirin." You will hear people ask for a Coke when they are really asking for a soda and will settle with a Pepsi. People ask for aspirin but will take any Ibuprofen. Long before Shammgod pulled off the move in the 1997 NCAA regional finals vs Arizona, players in other countries were doing the move that's been called the"El Latigo" and "The Whip."
Many crossover connoisseurs credit 80's Croatian baller Danko "El Killer del Perimetro" Cvjeticanin as the inventor of the move but Dragan Kicanovic -- a Cibona teammate of the late great Drazen Petrovic and members of the FIBA Hall of Fame -- was doing it years earlier.
After them, came three-time EuroLeague Champion Dejan Bodiroga, who Carmelo Anthony is a little familiar with (21-second mark of the following video).
So, Shammgod might not have been the first or the "best" to do the move but he made it a household name. And just like Jamal Crawford said, "People over the years try to imitate it but nobody can make it look the way he does."

]]>In honor of Kobe Bryant's birthday today and the City of Los Angeles declaring August 24th (Kobe's jersey numbers 8 & 24) "Kobe Bryant Day," here's the Top 10 Plays of his 20 year career in the NBA.
Think about that: 20 Top 10s and if you asked a Kobe fan to name their favorite 10 plays, there's a good chance they will come up with dunks, passes, moves and game-winners that didn't make the cut in these countdowns.
The other great thing about looking back at these countdowns from his #8 days is to be reminded that Kobe is not only one of the most underrated dunkers of all-time but he's one of the best! Top 10? He's Top 5 in my books.

]]>The post (2007) Jamal Crawford Hits 16 Straight Shots, Scores 52 Points in 39 Minutes vs Defending Champs appeared first on www.ebooksnet.com.
]]>There are two basketball related things I like to bring up every January 26th. One is Jamal Crawford has never been an NBA All-Star. That thought comes up because the NBA All-Star reserves start coming out around this time and I can't tell you how many times I've heard a name and said, "I bet this guy will be a trivia question one day that the casual basketball fan will get wrong." The second thing is Jamal Crawford, along with Hall of Famers Bernard King, Wilt Chamberlain and Moses Malone are the only players to ever score 50+ points with three different teams. That thought comes up because, on January 26th of 2007, Jamal had his second 50-point game. What makes this 50-point game so special is I actually consider it one of the most impressive and unappreciated 50-point games in NBA history.
Let's back up a little.
Four night before this historic night, the Knicks played a Wade and Shaq-less Miami Heat and somehow lost by 18, despite 23 points and 9 assists off the bench from Crawford. The Knicks played the Suns next and again went home losers, despite 29 and 11 from Crawford. The struggling Knicks then had to face the defending Champion Heat again, with Shaq and Wade back in the lineup. Everybody was thinking only an act of God could help the Knicks win this one and that's kind of what happened.
“That was heavenly intervention," said the Knicks Jerome James.
Crawford was a basketball God that night. After missing his first four shots, Crawford went from mortal man to basketball God and made 16 straight shots, including eight 3-pointers! His next miss didn't come until late in the 3rd quarter with the Knicks up by 20.
"The way how Jamal played tonight was incredible," Knicks guard Stephon Marbury said. "That was the best performance I've ever seen inside the Garden other than Michael Jordan."
With such a big lead and Wade going to the bench while waiving the white flag, Coach Isaiah Thomas had Crawford commit a foul with almost seven minutes left in the game so the fans could give Jamal a much deserved standing ovation. He did the get applause for leaving the game with 52 points on 20-for-30 shooting and becoming the third Knick to ever to score 50+ points in less than 40 minutes. But Thomas also got some complaints from fans who wanted to see Crawford go for 60 and/or break Bernard King's MSG record. Considering it was what Crawford called, "the hottest night of his career," scoring just eight points in the next seven minutes wouldn't have been much of a challenge. That is unless the other team took the record-chasing personally and decided to stop Crawford by any means necessary.
On a recent podcast interview with Woj, Crawford talked about that night and said the "old school" Thomas had too much respect for the game to leave him in with the Heat stars on the bench; he also wanted to make sure the Knicks didn't have a repeat of what happened when the Knicks left their starters in the previous year while they were up by 20 against the Nuggets.
I also had the pleasure of discussing this night with Crawford during a 2015 interview with him. You can go to the 31.45 second mark of the following video to hear him talk about the night or you can just watch the entire thing and hear him discuss the other two 50-point games, his NBA records, his passion for basketball, his commitment to his community and realize the difference between a true basketball star and an NBA All-Star.

The game was competitive up until the final minute of the 3rd quarter when Jamal Crawford caught fire and hit back-to-back 3-pointers over (future rookie of the year?) Stanley Johnson. Crawford started the fourth the way he ended the 3rd with a 3 over Dorrell Wright and then had back-to-back and-1 plays.
Wright also caught fire late in the 4th with 5 3-pointers but it was too little too late as the Seattle Pro-Am came out victorious with a 135-124 win.

]]>While promoting his Showtime documentary last month, crossover king Allen Iverson said he thought both Steph Curry and Kyrie Irving had better handles than him. I personally don't agree with his opinion and feel his his "handles" are criminally underrated by people who didn't watch him play in his prime and early days, but I will agree that the two point guards who will be matched up against each other in the 2015 NBA Finals have two of the best in the league.

]]>The post Storytime: Bobby Hansen Breaks Michael Jordan's Ankles appeared first on www.ebooksnet.com.
]]>The basketball gods were teasing Bobby Hansen on this day. It's a common sight in streetball games to see a guy break a defender's ankle and then miss an open shot. Mr. Hansen may not look like your traditional streetballer but he sure felt like one after breaking Michael Jordan's ankles and then missing a wide-open layup back in the 80s.
You are probably thinking Hansen, who only averaged 7 points per game over his career, would be telling his kids and grandkids over and over again about the day he broke MJ's ankles but he actually has a much better and happier MJ story.
In 1991, Hansen was traded to the Chicago Bulls and served as MJ's backup. ?Being the backup to a player averaging over 3o points per game means you aren't going to get much PT but in Game 6 of the 1992 NBA Finals, trailing by 15 after 3 quarters, the always brilliant Phil Jackson decided to rest MJ and put in Hansen. He responded with a three from the corner, then a steal, and played the Pippen role as Pippen played the MJ role along with BJ Armstrong, Stacey King and Scott Williams. After a 14-2 run, the Bulls were down by only three. MJ came back in for Hanson and the Bulls would end up winning the game and another championship.
After the game MJ said, "I'm glad for Bobby Hansen" and Bobby Hansen was surely thanking those basketball Gods for allowing him to finish his career the way it did.
If by chance you are thinking there's no other odd MJ/Bobby Hansen story that I could pull out then let me tell you about the 1990 3 point contest.
Most?people will only remember this as the Craig Hodges vs Reggie Miller shootout but Craig Hodges' more popular teammate Michael Jordan did "compete" in that contest. ?MJ's first-round score was a 5 which was less than half of the second-worst score in the contest and a third of what Bobby Hansen scored in the first round. Actually that 5 is the worst in contest history and it took 14 years until somebody challenged it but Vlad Rad was able to pull out a 6 in the 2005 contest. Back to Bobby, Hansen would get eliminated in the semi-round but at least he could say he did better than Larry Bird and Michael Jordan on that day.

During the 4th quarter of the Wizards/Heat game, 38 year old Andre Miller schooled 23 year old Shabazz Napier with a few of his old school tricks. ?I'm sure many will say this was nothing special because of the screen and Bosh didn't buy the fake pass but we are talking about Dre who is damn near 40!

]]>We are going into the 15th year of watching Jamal Crawford crossover cats and hit 3 pointers (& 4-point plays) in their faces. You would think after 14 years and a summer with Crawford at his pro-am we wouldn't be that surprised or excited about another crossover and 3 but this move from last night's game vs the Blazers was as exciting as the first one I saw when he was back in Chicago.
Crawford had 6 3-pointers total to go with his game high 23 points in the Clippers loss. The best of the 6 might not even be the one above, or his 3 and the foul, but a 3 (1 minute mark in the following video) that he was so sure was money that he turned around and looked at the Blazers bench before the shot dropped. That's confidence. That's Jamal Crawford.
