Nick Young Imitating KG's Barfight

Can't believe I did not see this last year.  Nick Young referencing the infamous KG/Sager Barfight interview after their insane 4th quarter comeback in game 1 of their playoff series against the Grizzlies.

PS why can't Nick Young score 19 points and go 3/4 from 3 for the Sixers?

Your 2013 ROY, Damian Lillard

Damian Lillard is force feeding me my words from my October 8 preview of the Northwest Division in which I idiotically said, "With rookie Damian Lillard out of Weber St. starting at point for the Blazers, expect it to be a long, ugly year."  Though I still stick by my prediction of a 39-43 season for the Blazers (they are 20-21 right now), I could not have been any further off on Damian Lillard.  The kid is averaging 18.3ppg, 3.5 boards, close to 7 assists and a steal per game while playing close to 39 minutes per and shooting 42% from the field and 83% from the line.  Those are Rookie of the Year numbers, period.  It's not even close.  Washington's Bradley Beal has come on lately (because of injuries) but has been wildly inconsistent on the year.  Other candidates are Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Anthony Davis, Andre Drummond, Harrison Barnes and Dion Waiters but none are even in the same stratosphere as Lillard.

Last night he showed us a shocking example of his athleticism and was kind enough to allow Nene to join him on his next poster.  I know Nene isn't European, but I'm filing this in the same category.  Wow.

No Melo? No Problem. Knicks have JR Smith.

With Carmelo Anthony out unexpectedly with a hyperextended left knee, the man with one of the more impressive set of tattoos in the league knew what he had to do... J.R. Smith took out Goran Dragic, the Suns' best player, on a dirty "accidental" foul then went ahead and tied and won the game in the last 11 seconds with two shots that would make Nick Young proud.

Amir Johnson, Making Good Decisions Since... Never.

I can't think of anything I'd rather get shaved into my head than the logo of my basketball team, which happens to be the laughing stock of the league.  Amir Johnson is KILLING it in 2012.

PS Are those business tats?
