Not sure if you tuned into last night’s Cavaliers and Celtics game, but apparently there was more than one James that was giving Boston problems last night. In the video, you’ll see Paul Pierce try to wrap James up for an intentional foul and then make their way into the crowd. But momma James wasn’t too thrilled about someone laying their hands on her boy. She was gonna give them a piece of her mind. That is until James chimed in and told his mom to “sit down.”

Here’s what he said: “I told her to sit down, in some language that I shouldn’t have used. Thank God today wasn’t Mother’s Day. All I could think about is her. I know my mother, we’re good.” 

I sure hope so. I’d be a bit intimidated by her.

By now, you all should have seen the movie Anchorman. And if you haven’t, if you go do so now, no one will get hurt.

But if you’re all familiar with the scene where someone plays with the teleprompter telling Ron to tell San Diego, to well, go do “something” to themselves, all hades breaks loose in the newsroom.

Well, Ernie Johnson of TNT sports did a similar thing to Hall Famer Charles Barkley on their TNT show. During a promo for T-Mobile, he got Charles to fall for the “I’m gonna write something on the teleprompter and make you read it” joke. Sucker. Check out the funny clip.

“You stay classy San Diego.”

If you’ve been watching the NBA playoffs, then you are sure to have seen the split screen commercials that feature two superstars in the NBA playoffs. But this nicely done commercial features the Manning brothers, Peyton and Eli, speaking out on trying to figure out how to gain the love of their father Archie.

Someone’s got daddy issues.

According to Dave Black, free throws were getting too easy, so he had to make shooting a little more creative and challenging. If this guy can really shoot a basketball like this in real life, I’m sure he could find a roster spot on the Sonics.

After watching him  shoot the ball off rafters, it made me think of the ol’ Michael Jordan/Larry Bird Commercials of the past. You remember don’t you? The “nothing but net commercials.”

Last week, Kobe Bryant had everyone talking about how he was able to jump over an Ashton Martin barreling at him. Well, the truth later came out that the video was a fake and that it was done with some special effects. But even with the special effects, it still took multiple shot to get the timing just right on his jumps. So I’ve been told.

Well, the guys down at College Humor have a clip of the first take of the Kobe jump. Let’s just say, the ending is just slightly different.

All things good must come to an end.

The Houston Rockets’ winning streak finally came to a halt last night against the Boston Celtics, as the Rockets were crushed 94-74.

I know a lot of people were rooting for this to keep going, and perhaps extend it closer to the Los Angeles Lakers’ record of 33 games, but in reality, we knew it was gonna end soon. The West is too competitive and the Rockets already squeaked by some close ones.

But maybe in hindsight this was good for the Rockets. They’ll most likely make the playoffs and this loss can get them to focus on the postseason ahead and not just a record.

Maybe during the playoffs, they could start another winning streak on their way to a title?

If you’re gonna dream, might as well dream big.

Coaches always tell their bench players to be ready and stay focused. Their number can be called upon at any time.

And in case of the Phoenix Suns, they have to be ready to run for their lives at any given second, without any notice.

Check out how fast these Suns move from their seat when they see the 350-pound Shaquille O’Neal barreling down on them. Talk about some agility.

Everyone thought that once Yao Ming was lost for the season, the Houston Rockets‘ chances for a postseason run were lost as well.

To our surprise, the Rockets have kept on winning (they are currently riding a 19-game winning streak) and it’s in part to the 7-footer, Dikembe Mutombo, they’ve had on their bench.

Having an extra big man with as much experience as Mutombo is always an upside. He may have lost a step or two and not give the offensive output of Yao, but the guy can still block shots. When you have a tall, lanky guy in the paint obstructing shots, it can only help.
Apparently he’s popular among his teammates too and they love poking fun at him.

Here is a clip of them giving their best Mutombo impressions.

One more thing. Is it me, or does Mr. Eko from LOST look like a younger version of Dikembe? I think it was the bad chicken I had at lunch.

If the Atlanta Hawks are hoping to make the playoffs, then they better figure out a better way to play defense for four quarters. Or score more points. Whatever works best for them.

They did a great job in the first quarter, holding the San Antonio Spurs to five points. Yes, FIVE POINTS. The defending champs scored only five points and still won the game 89-74. How embarrassing is that? Even I can find a way to score five points in a quarter.

Nick drives the lane, spin move around Marvin Williams, reverse layup and a foul, 3 points. Pump fists a la Jordanesque. Goes to the bench for an 8-minute power nap, comes back and hits a miracle 3-pointer at the buzzer. Six points! Nick wins!

I don’t know how in today’s game, a team like the Spurs can’t score double digits out the gates, but I feel worse for the Hawks. How embarrassing is it that they couldn’t hold onto the lead the rest of the game and keep up the intensity. Where’s the killer instinct? Apparently they’re going to need a lot more than Mike Bibby if they’re going to make the playoffs.

I’ll be waiting by the phone with my head band and Jordans.
