NBA is Back

Here's a few videos to hold you over until Beauty, Heels and Sports returns in January.  NBA is BACK.

Amazing play by the Heatles. Bosh blocks the shot, Lebron saves the ball as its going out of bounds that leads to an amazing pass to Wade he's down court ready to finish.

After a miss shot by Joe Johnson, John Wall rebounds the ball and races down court only to be chased down and met with a big block from Josh Smith.

D.Wade drives pass the defenders to hit the game winning layup against the Charlotte Bobcats.  With Cam Newton, Carolina's star quarterback on the sidelines, Wade turned to Newton and did Cam's signature Superman touchdown pose after making the shot.

Who said Kobe still didn't have it? Even with the torn ligament in shooting wrist Kobe has been putting up 20+ points in every game.  Kobe crossed Raja Bell and went in for the slam in the Lakers game against the Jazz.

With Vince Carter left wide open hitting a 3 as time ran down putting the Mavericks up 102-101 it was sure that the Mavericks would be getting there first win of the season.  Problem is he left 1.4 seconds left on the clock and they were playing against Kevin Durant.  As the the Thunder inbounded the ball at half court to KD, Durant caught the ball turned and shot the ball from well behind the 3 point line with the ball going through the net just as the clock sounded.   Talking about a way to get a victory.

Just a Little Fun

Before heading back to work friends Lebron James and Kevin Durant decided to put basketball on hold for a little while and hold a flag football game in Akron, Ohio.  Team Lebron took on Team KD after KD tweeted earlier this month about participating in a flag football game after a college fan asked him to play for their team.  After KD agreed James later tweeted KD stating that the flag football game sounded like fun and few weeks later the two hosted a flag football game against one another.  Lebron, who played football in high school, seem to be the star of the game on both offense and defense scoring over and over again for Team Lebron, including a few touchdowns after picking off Tony Durant, KD's brother who played quarterback for Team KD, a couple times.  Team Lebron ended up winning the game by one touchdown 70-63 after Lebron picked off Tony again with 2 seconds left in the game.  All fans of Lebron and KD had the ability to tune in and watch the game if they liked as the team was streamed live on Ustream.  Sounds like a lot of fun but now its time to get back to work as the teams opened up their facilities to the players to today and training camps will begin next Friday December 9th.

Kevin Durant Drops 47 points

In a fight down to the wire game against the Minnesota Timberwolves KD dropped 47 points and 18 rebounds in the game this past Wednesday, 1.26.11.  Durant currently leads the league in scoring with 28.6 PPG as he has led the Thunder to 4th place in the Western Conference with a 28-16 record thus far.  After a continuous back and forth in the first four quarters, the Thunder were able to hold off and defeat the Timberwolves 118-117 in overtime.  Timberwolves' Love also had a great night with 31 points and 21 rebounds in the loss.
