Tommy Heinsohn kisses Maria Menounos



For those of you that do not know, Access Hollywoods/Today Show's Maria Menounos is a huge Boston sports fan.

Recently, she attended a Boston Celtics game and help commentate with the guys from Comcast SportsNet New England.

Then, smooth player and play by play analyst Tommy Heinsohn went in for a smooch with Maria and received it.

Man, if this is a parallel universe, I'm not liking what I am seeing.

The Best of Charles Barkley on Inside the NBA



For those of you that missed, "The Best of Inside the NBA" that shown during NBA All Star Weekend, here is the clip featuring the best of Charles Barkley.

Honestly, you might need a twenty clip to eclipse what Charles Barkley means to Inside the NBA.

Kobe Bryant goes below the belt vs Andre Iguodala



In the National Basketball Association, there are many ways to commit a foul against an opposing player from tripping an opposing player to pushing them in the back and even impeding the players progress to the basket.

Well, Kobe Bryant decided to add "attempt to grab your opponents privates" to that list.

In their Friday night affair versus the Philadelphia 76ers, Bryant fouled Andre Iguodala in the fourth quarter. Upon further inspection with the replay, Bryant left hand appears to grab Iguodala's privates where the foul occurs.

In the words of Inside the NBA, Bryant put his hands in Andre Iguodala's cookie jar.

Jason Kidd Flops into Mike Woodson



During yesterday's Mavericks-Hawks affair, Jason Kidd pulled a "Michael Adams" by running into Atlanta Hawks head coach Mike Woodson to draw a technical foul nearing the end of the fourth quarter.

It appears from the video that Woodson comes out onto the court to bark an instruction to a Atlanta player and then appears to step back trying to avoid Jason Kidd. Then you can see Kidd lean into Woodson as he tries to call a timeout.

The free throw actually ended up affecting the outcome of the affair as the game went into overtime where the Mavericks claimed the victory.

Many people might want to beg the question whether the play was legal or not but you have to give it to the wily play of Jason Kidd to get the call.

I have a feeling that Mike Woodson will be standing inside the coaches box from now on.

Spencer Hawes and Paul Westphal "Bump It Out"



Allegedly, there was a feud between Sacramento Kings coach Paul Westphal and Kings center Spencer Hawes when Hawes was inactive for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Well, that was put to rest as they decided to celebrate Spencer's return to the line-up but "Bumping it Out".

Magic Johnson Does "The John Wall Dance"



Recently, Earvin "Magic" Johnson was in Kentucky on Thursday as the celebrity "Y" for the Kentucky chant in their game versus South Carolina.

However, Magic decided to add a little english on the end of the song by doing the patented, "John Wall Dance".

That was pretty good but I think Kige Ramsey did it better.

The Day That Brian Scalabrine Got a Spray Tan

There are many words to describe this story about Boston Celtics reserve Brian Scalabrine but I'll let the audio and pictures do most of the talking.

Scalabrine previous did an interview on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston stating that if he received 250,000 All Star Votes for the 2010 NBA All Star Game, he would get a spray-tan live on-air.

Somehow, Scalabrine received more than 250,000 All Star votes and below is the audio and pictorial proof of the tan on the "Toucher & Rich Show."

NBA Invokes "Straw Chewing Ban" AKA The Caron Butler Rule


The one thing that I do know about Caron Butler is that he loves to chew on plastic straws.

Well, the NBA has just announced that his famous habit has been banned from the playing area.

We get more from NBA Fanhouse:

Butler was said to go through roughly 12 straws a game, chewing on them during play and on the bench until they got stringy. He cited an teenage start to the habit, explaining that chewing the straws calmed him down. The habit (or addiction?) stuck.

But now, as first reported by Mike Fisher of DallasBasketball.com, the NBA has ordered Butler to stop chewing straws on the court.

Fisher presents the news with incredulity, but there's a fairly simple explanation: it's a safety issue. That's how NBA spokesman Tim Frank explained it to FanHouse Thursday morning. The ban covers game play; Butler is free to chew to his heart's content on the bench.
The rules itself essentially bans Butler from chewing straws on the court mainly because what if there was NBA straw-related incident that injured him or another player.

(The HORROR, The HORROR, THE HORROR)

I do get the NBA's position on this; chewing on plastic straws can be dangerous to one's health especially if he trying to drive to the basket on a lay-up line where a possible piece of plastic shrapnel could hit someone in the eye. (Hey, if a hot dog can do it, a straw could defintely do it.)

I guess that Tough Juice might have to find a new habit when he is on the court, may I suggest, lollipops?

How Cool is Don Nelson? He Takes His Players to Bars


Golden State Warriors head coach Don Nelson is only a few wins away from being the all-time winningest coach in NBA history.

However, you probably didn't hear this story about Nelson and a couple of his players chilling at a local bar after practice.

We get more from CSN Bay Area's Matt Steinmetz:

After the team’s noon practice, Nelson took rookie Stephen Curry, second-year shooting guard Anthony Morrow, D-League signee Anthony Tolliver and a couple coaches to Smitty’s -- a downtown Oakland bar -- for some quality time and shuffleboard.

When Nelson was asked about his “bonding session” with the players the following day, he seemed a little taken aback.

“You’re not supposed to know about that,” Nelson said.

When Nelson was told that both Morrow and Curry posted about the day’s activities on Twitter, he was a little more forthcoming.

“Actually, I was out of money and I needed some cash so I took the young guys out and shot a little shuffleboard with them in the afternoon,” Nelson said. “And took their money.”

Thursday wasn’t the first time Nelson has taken players out to play some shuffleboard to Smitty’s … a couple of years ago he corralled Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson and ventured to the Grand Avenue gathering spot for an afternoon session.
Oh that Don Nelson, what a hustler.

For those of you out there saying, that he should be reprimanded for taking his players to a bar after a practice. All I have to say is that there are worst people in the world than Nelson, at least he's not Tiger Woods.

Vince Carter Trick Shot: Hits Sitting 86-Footer

Here on That NBA Lottery Pick, we have featured many trick shots made by NBA players during their shoot-arounds and practices.

However, this clip of Orlando's Vince Carter might be one of the most impressive ones that I have seen.

Vince decides to hit a sitting 86-footer from the other side of the gym.



That shot breaks fellow teammate Dwight Howard's world record shot set at the 2010 NBA All Star Game.

I have feeling that the Guiness World Record people are on the phone.

Lebron James and his "Crazy Handshakes"

One thing that I do know about Cleveland Cavaliers star Lebron James is that he has a wealth of crazy handshakes that he performs prior and during games.

This clip shows Lebron performing some pre-game handshakes before a match-up between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Detroit Pistons.



On some level, I'm impressed by Lebron handshake know-how and I think I know the reason why they drafted Danny Green.

Deron Williams "Human Chain" Nike Commercial



If I learned anything from the movie "Gremlins", is that when something is multiplying, it's a good idea to stay out of it's way.

In this latest Nike commercial, Deron Williams will multiply before your eyes.

Now, just don't feed him after midnight.

Josh Howard: DNP - Hangover


Before the NBA Trade Deadline, The Dallas Mavericks moved Josh Howard to the Washington Wizards.

There has been a trickle-down rumor that the major reason why Howard was moved to Washington was his personal behaviour while he was with the Mavericks. Recently, a story has come out that Howard was once "too hungover" to play in a game.

We get more from Tribal Pursuit:

Multiple team sources said Howard missed the Mavericks’ Jan. 20 win over the Washington Wizards because of a hangover after a night of partying.

Howard refused comment.

That reaffirmed the Mavericks’ intention to move forward without Howard, who did not start another game after sitting out against the Wizards, when he missed the morning shootaround and did not dress for that game. The Mavericks, who were already shopping Howard and wanted to protect his trade value, announced that he had a stomach illness.
Howard has had a rather tumultuous time with the Mavericks which includes a rap sheet of marijuana possession, street racing, and a national anthem controversy.

It's nice to see that he will get a fresh start in Washington but the next time, if your too hungover to play in a game, just pull a Jamie Foxx and "Blame it on the Alcohol."
