Self-explanatory, really. And that’s why it rocks. (via @jose3030)

Inside the NBA
We all know that Dwight Howard is a walking comedy act. He’s usually slightly too wholesome and includes a little too much singing and/or dancing in his antics to really make me LOL (laugh out loud), but he’s one of the four or five most personable dudes in the League.
And here he is doing a fantastic impression of Charles Barkley.
Maybe SNL should have called up Supes to host instead of airing that turrrible, turrrible episode they had with the Chuckster a few weeks ago. It wasn’t so much Charles being bad as just poorly written skits, but still. How they didn’t have a skit where Kenan Thompson played Barkley (which he does rather well) while Charles played … I dunno … anyone else — Mahatma Gandhi, maybe? — I will never figure out. I was watching that almost-mediocre “Reel Quotes” one near the beginning and thinking “not too, too bad … guess they’re getting the bad ones out of the way early” unbeknownst that that would be the best thing in the entire show.
At least they did a good job stimulating the wigmaker sector of the economy though. Charles must have donned 12 different unkempt hairdos. Gotta give em propers for that. (video via The Baseline via Ball Don’t Lie)

Thanks to the NBA-friendly folks over at Undrcrwn, you can now download a computer desktop honoring the 2009 Playoffs fallen teams. Thus far, we’re talking about the Pistons, Spurs, Hornets and Jazz, but check back maybe as soon as tonight for an updated version, which he plans to keep up on all the way through the Finals.
Let’s all hope Chicago isn’t the next logo we see. (via Dime)

Since we’re kicking off week two of March Madness tonight, it seems an apt time to mention that everyone and their moms have a bracket-styled contest in which you can witness the wonders of Web 2.0 first hand by voting on some arbitrary matchups.
Ball Don’t Lie is rocking its NBA Bedlam Tournament, which has thus far featured inspiring contests like “Spurs Beards vs. Luis Scola’s Hair,” “Baller-in-Chief [Obama] vs. Marbury’s Head Tattoo” and “Inside the NBA vs. NBA TV Gametime.” The fact that both Steph and GP/CWebb are both not only losing but getting blown out like Chattanooga just further proves my theory that I’m watching an entirely different NBA than most people who may theoretically be reading this sentence.
Zoner Sports has it’s own version of Madness going on, and this one actually includes me somehow. Their “Best Sports Blog Names Tourney” features an array of well-known sports sites like Kissing Suzy Kolber, The Sports Hernia and Mr. Irrelevent in addition to the Both Teamsters Union’s own Both Teams Played Hard. Despite the #12 seed I was given, we mounted a first-round upset over some site called “Pittsburgh Sports and Mini-Ponies” and now look poised to take down #2 seed “Five Ounces of Pain” to advance yet again. Thanks for the votes, voters. I play solely for stats not championships, so I can’t say I really care all that much about winning this thing. But for poetry’s sake, it would be kind of dope to see an Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Sheedtastic Supremacy in the Final Four, pinning me against Ball Don’t Lie. And, yes, if that does occur, I will guaranSheed victory. Vote early and vote often, Both Teamsters.
In vagina-ier news, NBA.com has its “Dance Team Bracket,” where you can vote on which NBA franchise has the best team of future strippers dancers. (via Heels on Hardwood)
Conversely, our girl ticktock6 over at Hornet’s Hype is running the “First Annual NBA Hot Baller Tournament,” where I presume the ladies and the gays can debate beefcake matchups like Popeye Jones vs. Tyronne Hill.
I think we all know who would walk away with the Belt of Sheedtastic Supremacy.
