Nike Global Challenge: Watch Dominique Pointer's thunderous dunk in traffic
We've hit the dog days of the NBA summer. All the big name free agents have been snatched up. Summer league is over. Training camps are still months away. So, now is the perfect time to reminisce a bit. The Hoops Manifesto has gathered together a stellar collection of Bloguin basketball writers to determine the top ten players all-time for each of the 30 NBA franchises. Next up: the Chicago Bulls.

This video of Magic Johnson's first NBA game is interesting for the basic fact that it's the first glimpse we get of Magic in the pros. But, hidden inside it, is something even more interesting - Kobe Bryant's dad, Joe 'Jelly Bean' Bryant, rising and throwing down a huge dunk on Karrem Abdul-Jabbar's head. If you are only interested in that part, skip to about the 5:40 mark of the video.

Now even the cute, cuddly ones are turning into monsters. Chris Paul is supposed to be a team leader. An upstanding citizen. A shining light in a battered and beaten city. A real swell guy. So what in the name Kobe Bean Bryant is going on here? Cute little Chris Paul is demanding a trade because he wants to win a championship? You got things a little confused here, Mr. Paul - winning a title is not a right, it's a privilege.
Did you hear the news? Michael Jordan is returning as a player to the NBA. The virtual NBA, that is, created in NBA 2K11. Here is the press release I got today from 2K Sports:
Is it July 1st yet? No?! Well, will it hurry up and come already. I, like the rest of the basketball world, am anxiously awaiting the free agency period to begin so I can find out where LeBron James is going to play next year. But, unlike everyone else, I could really care less where he ends up playing (well, maybe I care a little bit), rather I just want this madness to get over with so I can stop hearing about it.
With summer upon us inhabitants in the Northern Hemisphere, you're probably in the market for some suggestions on some good sports books to read this summer (do people still read books?). Well I got one I can recommend - Stumbling on Wins.
