The Miami Heat's LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are still the top producing threesome in the NBA this year, but not by much.  The defending champion Lakers are hot on their heels, with Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant playing as brilliantly as ever and Lamar Odom enjoying a career year.  Here's the third edition of our The Real Big Three Rankings.

I've always been a fan of books in the vein of Freakonomics and The Wages of Wins, so it came as no surprise that I enjoyed Tobias J. Moskowitz and L. Jon Wertheim's new book, Scorecasting.  Moskowitz, a finance professor, and Wertheim, an author and Sports Illustrated scribe, reveal "the hidden influences behind how sports are played and games are won".  Within its pages the authors use simple charts and data to show a side of sports you've never seen or considered before.  And after reading this book, you won't  be able to watch your favourite sport quite the same way as before.

The top-rated player in the class of 2011, Austin Rivers (Doc's son and future Dookie) might not end up being a better NBA player than his Pops, but he sure can jump a hell of a lot higher than his old man ever did.  Recently he served up an alley-oop facial on an unwitting high school defender

Lee University's high-flying Larriques Cunningham has struck again, this time dunking on a defender in almost the exact same spot as his previous Daily Dunk appearance.  This is the epitome of dunking in someone's face.  Enjoy!
