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?

Comments (1)Adidas Brotherhood & Dwight Howard Memories
The man who looks like he’s among boys in the NBA, actually among boys. Meh, just another day at the court for these kids. They might remember pumping Howard out of his shorts (0:54) and stuffing his shot (2:07), but they’ll definitely have nightmares of the soaring beast (2:28).

Trust me, this looks a hell of lot better on my iMovie. Oh well.
Props to the NBA and Miss Gossip for the inspiration.
Comments (10)Marion: ‘When You Want Me To Be A Laker?’
Shawn Marion at the 2007 MTV Video Music awards a few weeks back. Is it just me or does this interview make it sound like the Matrix has already been traded from the Suns? I mean, the “I’ll see you in L.A.” line, the cackle cackle cackle, the “wink-wink” high-five … I think we’re in the dark on this one, folks. Shawn Marion is a Laker.
Comments (1)WeTube: Pau Gasol Really Wants That Watch
Another day, another foreign commercial starring an NBA player …
And once again, I have no idea what’s going on here. Not that it matters. Any commercial that ends like a long lost scene from the movie Cocktail is a-ok in my books.
Comments (2)WeTube: Chick Hearn’s 80’s Rap Attack
I always knew Girl Talk sampled from a vast selection of music genres. But mashing up Lakers’ long-time play-by-play announcer Chick Hearn’s calls? That’s just going the extra mile, you know?
Comments (3)Shaq And Shaunie O’Neal Are Fu-Shnickens
As you may or may not have heard, Shaq is on the outs with wife Shaunie. Personally, I didn’t think anything bad could happen to him. Maybe I felt this way because of his massive presence. Maybe it’s ’cause he can pack heat as a reserve police officer, or maybe it’s because you need an elephant gun / tranquilizer darts to bring him down.
Or maybe it’s because he’s Shaq - I just thought the guy was invincible. When they were arguing, I figured he would just crack a joke about Kobe’s schnoz, Shaunie would laugh, and that would be the end of it. I suppose no man, no matter how large, is safe from the wrath of matrimony. Or maybe he should have just shut his mouth at this press conference.
Comments (1)WeTube: Bargnani and Belinelli’s Nike Ad
I’ll admit it: my Italian is horriblio. But if a certain YouTube commenter is to be trusted, Bargnani’s telling Warriors’ rookie Marco Belinelli that he’ll soon be in charge of making breakfast, folding laundry and defending Kobe Bryant. Or something like that.
Comments (14)WeTube: Amare Stoudemire ‘Making It Rain’
If you have no idea what’s going on here — Grandma — this is video of Suns superstar Amare Stoudemire “making it rain” by throwing money into a crowd at a nightclub. Ridiculous? Of course. But at least Amare manages to make it look somewhat classy.
And oh, yeah, he gets his Pac.
