Mourning Gifted Unlimited

When I revisited The 50 Greatest NBA Commercials of All Time, I ranked the Gang Starr-scored Nike commercial with Darius and Q-Rich at #27. But today, after the untimely passing of a musical giant, it’s definitely #1.

If you’re not familiar with Guru and Gang Starr, become so. Pick up Step in the Arena. Buy Moment of Truth. Download Daily Operation illegally if you have to. The rhyme style is elevated. The style of beats is elevated. But it’s still Guru and Premier — the two men that, together, became the best to ever do it.

You will be missed, Guru.

UPDATE: Listen to this.

Baron Davis once again makes Great Moments history by offering to sell you the beard that’s gonna change your pathetic beardless lives. And it could be all yours for for the recession special price of $29.99.

But wait … there’s more.

Get this — the beard comes along with a free Deron Williams Texturizer Kit. Shop now or forever look like a lady. (via Ball Don’t Lie)

“There are two kinds of people in this world that go around beardless — boys and women — and I am neither one.” – traditional Greek saying

The other day, we finally posted the fantastic video of Baron Davis dribbling through New York.

And just like that, here he is dribbling through China. As part of an 8-bit video game.

Or something. (video via NBA Offseason)

Beardy Runs This Town

Was catching up on some Straight Bangin’ reading today and was reminded of this amazing video of Baron Davis dribbling through NYC that I don’t think I ever posted. And if I already did but forgot, worst-case scenario is that you get to see it for a second time, which is obviously actually a best-case scenario — particularly the track is from J Dilla’s fantastic Jay Stay Paid album that you should definitely buy. Cameos by Common, DJ Clue, Jim Jones and Irv Gotti.
