Somebody needs to take the National Geographic audio and dub it over a Kobe highlight reel.

Watch for the #2 dunk where Kobe does the behind-the-back dribble then reverse slam.

The Slumdog Price is Right

This sort of summarizes what I saw in Slumdog Millionaire

Who is the ballest of them all?

The Orlando Magic topped the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals Game 1. The L.A. Lake Show closed out the Denver Nuggs in the Western Conference Finals Game 1. Both games were epically close and ESPN Classic worthy. 

And, both games featured teams that were respectively led by one of the five starters from last Summer's USA Olympic Gold Medal winning basketball team. 

Which star had the best Game 1 in their conference final?

Which teams will win their series? Who do you want to see duke it out in the NBA Finals?

Basterds Cannes Hype

"Rather brilliant."

-Showbizz411's Roger Friedman

Sherlock Holmes

Penny Hardaway

Back when Shaquille O'Neal was playing for the Miami Heat he compared his career with All-NBA guards to the Corleone brothers. Shaq said Dwayne Wade was Michael, Kobe Bryant was Michael and Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway was Fredo.

But, to really understand Penny's everlasting impression on basketball just have Craig Sager ask King Lebron James,

"You know I've never patterned my game after anybody, but I can receive flashes of Magic and some of Penny Hardaway one of my favorite players."

Nike wants Bron v. Kobe.

Freedarko chimes in,

"The Celtics, the little defending champs that could, won tonight on a Big Baby buzzer-beater. This might be the series that goes seven and really builds some suspense. But could it ever, really? There's a cloud of doom hanging over these games, like, sure, one team will eventually triumph, but neither one has a prayer of matching Cleveland. It's lambs to slaughter, and this foreboding makes it almost too painful to watch. Even if it goes seven games."

-Bethlehem Shoals

Unless of course KG comes back.......

Who was more clutch?

Carmelo Anthony's last second trey to beat the Dallas Mavericks and take Denver's series advantage to a 3-0 or Glen "Big Baby" Davis with the low-post J that tied the Boston Celtics-Orland Magic series at 2-2?
