Nate merely took a three at the wrong hoop well after the buzzer to end the quarter, so it was no big deal. But watching D’Antoni get angry is a symphony of good times. (via @jose3030)

Since we’re pimping M&Ms for free, we may as well also mention that there’s a new Nike ad outside Madison Square Garden featuring the best Greenman since Charlie Day and reserving the spot where LeBron’s future billboard will one day reside forever. (via @jeskeets)

Unlike Dikembe, Mike D’Antoni will shoot you in the face. (from The New York Times via Dime)
“To be honest with you, that’s why you don’t have concealed weapons, because I’d have shot him at that point,” D’Antoni said wryly. “I do like his feistiness, but he just needs to channel it in the right way. And he knows that.”
What the mustachioed man is talking about is Nate Robinson. More specifically, he’s talking about the technical foul Nate picked up after jumping off the bench to talk shit to Amare, who was fresh off a David Lee facial. Amare appears to pay little mind to the little man and is in fact dismissive, something that came to a great surprise to me when remembering the violent fate STAT suffered at the hands of the last fun-size point guard he encountered.

As I reckon most of you already know, this year’s Sprite Sprite Dunk contest will feature defending champ Dwight Howard, former champ Nate Robinson, Rudy Gay and one of either Joe Alexander, Russell Westbrook or Rudy Fernandez, depending upon which of those three wins the fan vote-off.
And while the Both Teamsters Union is officially endorsing the same candidate as we are for the actual All Star Game itself — a write-in vote for All-Starbury — our penchant for nontransparent, democratic elections compels us to at least share with you the campaign ads of the three conventional contenders. (You can vote here.)
Here’s Flying Buck Dunk Master Joe Alexander’s ad, wherein he headbutts the rim:
Here’s singer/songwriter Rudy Fernandez with his smash hit “Vota Me, Por Favor”:
And here’s Russell Westbrook being, ya know, entirely uninteresting:

Jamal Crawford and Nate Robinson were born to play for Mike D’Antoni • Roger Mason Jr. can flat-out ball • LeBron James is making his free throws • Gerald Green might actually not be horrible but he still constantly looks illiterate • Tim Duncan is svelte • Jason Kidd almost has TRIPLE DOUBLES • Jerry Stackhouse still has something left • Chris Duhon, much like both teams, played hard • Derrick Rose will turn this entire League into his own personal Khmer Rouge killing fields • Josh Howard rocks slick blazers • Mike Bibby is important • Dirk Nowitzki just made his first three of the season • Trevor Ariza is a significantly better basketball player than Lamar Odom • Jason Kidd is TRIPLE DOUBLES • Tim Duncan is the only All Star in the League who plays like he has nothing to prove, in a good way • Jordan Farmar made JKidd look stupid • Derek Fisher is somehow more ripped than ever • Gary Payton is an enjoyable analyst • Chris Webber is not so much • Spencer Hawes swatted the piss out of Kwame’s weaksause dunk attempt • Detroit won the trade • Rashad McCants has inked up substantially • Andris Biedrins has moved to number one in my Haircut Power Rankings • Stephen Jackson has testicles the size of ripe melons • Randy Foye, Mike Miller and Rashad McCants should all be embarrassed about that final “possession” in regulation • Stephen Jackson has testicles the size of monster truck tires • Randy Foye, Mike Miller and Rashad McCants should all be embarrassed for every “possession” in overtime • Bobby Brown wants to rock wit’cha, baby. All. Night. Long.
Everybody knows that Bobby Brown's true forte is poker, not basketball. This guy is not impressed.
