On the list of things that I believe that I would never see, watching New York Knicks forward Danilo Gallinari singing "Halo" by Beyonce was one of them.
Usually, when I use the words, "Words do not describe the awesome". It is usually in some sort of joking tone.
However, this video deserves to be seen by everyone. San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker and his famous wife, Eva Longoria-Parker busted out in musical stylings of "Grease" with "Summer Nights."
I think I can even hear Olivia Newton-John applauding.
Seriously, what do I have to do NBA teams to prevent you for making these "Faux CD infomercials"?
Do I have to jump off a bridge? Do I have to enduring watching the final season of Lost? Force Myself to watch a Clippers-Nets game? Endure a season "A Shot of Love with Tila Tequila?"
The Sacramento Kings are the latest team to jump on this bandwagon with this offering from their "Best Music Collection".
I will say though, that Jon Brockman is versatile. "Living on a Prayer" and "Careless Whisper", that's impressive.
If we were to be honest with ourselves, the NBA version of "Connect Five" on Christmas Day was like receiving a lump of coal from Santa.
However, the one thing that did make this NBA five-some interesting was the reaction by Lakers fans to a technical foul called on Phil Jackson late in their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
A percentage of the paying costumers at the Staples Center received foam fingers for their attendance and well, when you have unruly Lakers fans and foam fingers, the answer should be relatively simple to figure out.
We here at That NBA Lottery Pick, would like to wish all of you readers a "Happy Holidays".
Whether you will have a Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, a Happy-Belated Hanukkah, a Festive Festivus, and an Exciting "Chinchilli Day". (Hey, made-up holidays that you wanted to just take a trip to Las Vegas counts too.)
Don't forget that the best gifts are given by "Inside the NBA"
Just when you thought it was safe to go into the Christmas holiday without hearing from the Detroit Pistons, you guessed wrong.
The Pistons are celebrating the holidays buy offering you a "Pistons Christmas Classics record" that you cannot refuse. (For my young viewers, that's an old school CD.)
One thing that you have to say about Amare Stoudamire is that he is at least creative in his viral video campaign to himself to the NBA All Star Game in Dallas.
Amare has enlisted the help of actor David Spade to help promote him. In this clip, Amare and David talk about googles and try some on.
Hey, someone stole Bishop Don Magic Juan's glasses!
If you were a Sacramento Kings fan, you were probably already changing the channel away from their game against the Chicago Bulls as the Bulls built a 35 point lead with about 8:50 remaining in the game.
Then something strange happened, the Kings came back and won by the score of 102-98.
No joke, the Kings pulled off the second greatest comeback in NBA history as rookie guard Tyreke Evans stole the show with 23 points and eight rebounds. (For those who care, the greatest comeback was in 1997 when the Utah Jazz came back against the Denver Nuggets by a deficit of 36 points.) I guess that "Paul Westphal" magic hasn't worn off yet.
For Bulls fans, you might have some solace that Vinny Del Negro might be out the door soon and that it was only one regular season game.
For Kings fans, I think that Tyreke Evans pick was good, huh? Sometimes the NBA lottery works in mysterious ways.
UPDATE- Since the internet was in it's infancy in 1997, this is the largest NBA comeback that has game threads from NBA blogs.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the "digital shorts" that Steve Nash creates from his production company, "Meathawk" is better than anything SNL has come up with recently.
In this clip, Leandro Barbosa is warming up his singing voice with Lionel Ritchie's "All Night Long".
