Jason Kapono Pulls A Chuck Woolery
I pulled a Bill Simmons in posting this. I felt like getting Raptor fans all riled up that Jason Kapono can get a shot off (a made one!) in 0.22 seconds, while T.J. Ford can’t get a tip in .5. I love at the end how Jordan Farmar tries to take some credit for the pass, but Kapono wants all the thunder. This has all he’s got Jordan, let him have it. But, honestly, bringing hundredths of a second to the game clock only seems like a logical evolution.

Comments (3)Watch Tas Melas On ‘Full Court Press’
While we patiently wait for the Nielsen ratings to come out, jump over to Raptors.com to watch a super-short version of ‘Full Court Press’ starring The Basketball Jones very own Tas(sos) Melas. Be careful though … that collar will getcha!
(Great work, Tas.)
Update: Here’s the direct link.

Spectacular. Old, but still spectacular. I watched this over and over. Best part: LeBron at the end.

Comments (4)Baron Davis: No Shame
Hey Gil, move over! The new King of the Internets is here! I’m at a loss for words right now. BD kept me laughing for 3 minutes strong. And, how smooth is he on roller skates? I always knew he could play any sport he wanted, even if he didn’t want to answer me. At the beginning of the vid, I thought Baron’s nips were blurred, but a little areola doesn’t bother Boom Dizzle. Too much, man. Too much.
(Huge Fedora Tip, Brian L.)
Comments (15)No Show Jones
This just in: The Basketball Jones will not be podcasting today, Tuesday, March 4th due to issues involving wild bears. We’re sorry but we will be back tomorrow. The People’s Book It! will continue this evening.
Instead, check out the vid below. Who knew ball claws could be cool?

That would be a hell of a souvenir.

Comments (1)In Gilbert Arenas We Trust
This is a man that will tell it like it is, hold nothing back and be there to show you the way. Therefore, he would make a horrible President. From all the basketball geeks, get well Gil. You’re officially the new and improved Shaq.
Comments (7)Shaquille O’Neal: Losing A Step Even Off The Court
Shaq may be the star of this ad but he has nothing to do with the funniest parts - either the kid picking his nose or the jockey slap-attack. Where art thou Shaquille?

The reason Andre Miller will be traded soon. Louis Williams.
