Top 10 NBA plays from last night. There are some doosies in there. My fav? The double behind the back from Caron Butler.

James couldn’t get it done against the Bulls. Really, this is just training camp for LeShaq. Let’s revisit them come December.

It was a joy to watch you play; it was in inspiration to watch you work; it was hilarious to watch you sell stuff. [1]

While I never go to the worship services and rarely watch them on TV, I am still excited that the Tigers were victorious in the Big 12 men’s basketball tournament.

Via Basketbawful :: Worst of the Night
Chauncey Billups, forgetful machine: Regarding ‘Melo’s record-tying quarter, Mr. Big Shot said: "I’ve played against some great ones and played with some great ones. That’s the best I’ve ever seen in a 12-minute span. He was awesome. He got us back in the game, got us a nice lead. Single-handedly put us on his back tonight and did what a lot of great players do." Huh. I guess he must have forgotten about this…
That was such an amazing playoff game, one that was on my Tivo for quite a while.

Check out the rejection by LeBron and Wade’s baseline slam. Good stuff.
Highlights US Coasts against Angola
Oh, here is hoping that the US does well against Greece tomorrow. Greece shut down Germany yesterday and beat the US a few years ago.

Don’t really know why I am posting this – but I can. This is my laptop setup at the school right now:
Working in Word 2007, listening and recording music via Pandora’s Jar, and watching the Olympics on NBC’s web-player.
Amazing Comeback in the Mens 400-meter freestyle relay

What is cooler than the US coming from behind to win the gold medal in both the closest finish in history while setting a world record?
Doing it against France, whose team members had been mouthing the US beforehand.
CHECK IT: U.S. men win 4×100m free relay
Now for some commentary: ‘No way’ turns into ‘no quit’ for Lezak, men’s relay team
In the final stroke, Lezak pulled it off. He thrust his right arm for the wall, desperation and determination meeting perfect timing. The lunge beat Bernard by an eye blink. Lezak somehow touched first, as the fans and his relay teammates both exploded.
The winning time: a world-record 3:08.24. Winning margin: eight-hundredths of a second. It was the closest 400-meter relay in Olympic history and the second-closest Olympic relay of any distance. (In 1984, the U.S. nipped Germany by four-hundredths of a second in the 800 free relay.)
And Lezak swam the fastest 100-meter relay split in world history, a shocking 46.06 seconds. His split was faster than Bernard’s by .67 seconds. Smashing.
When you’re the world-record holder but you cannot hold a lead in your specialty, that’s not good. When that happens after you’ve talked smack, that’s worse. At least it took a superhuman swim to beat Bernard.
The Olympics, where I suddenly become enthralled with male gymnastics and find swimming of any sort exciting.
