While the NBA Slam Dunk Contest was a bust this year, the one held at the Russian Cup certainly was not. You'll recognize a few Americans in this video, Gerald Green and James White among them.

Now this is how you dunk - make it look pretty AND win the game at the buzzer. Well played, young Master Smith.
Are you enjoying the NCAA Tournament so far? If so, I'm guessing you aren't a big gambler and/or bracket filler-outer (yes, I am professional writer and I just used the term "filler-outer"). With all the crazy upsets and Cinderella runs this year, everyone's brackets are in shambles. But if you are true college basketball fan, that shouldn't matter to you. Because real fans don't need brackets or wagers to enjoy the tournament.

There was a time not long ago when microfracture surgery was a death sentence for a player. Don't tell that to Amar'e Stoudemire, who survived through multiple knee and eye surgeries yet can still bring the pain like this.

This dunk by Shaun Livingston shouldn't be that surprising. This type of play was expected out of him before cataclysmic injuries took away all the promise we once saw in him coming out of high school. Regardless, even without this back story, it's still a nice dunk.

Here's a link to the final instalment for the Bloguin Basketball Roundtable: Road to the Playoffs edition. I'm not quoted in this one, but the rest of the Bloguin basketball family are wise men, so take a look:
With a little more than a month remaining of the NBA schedule, who do you see as the main contenders? Who's a dark horse? What teams do you think will surprise, and who will disappoint?
Ok... throwing this question out there (primarily to David - who's answered - but others too!): Given thus far we're looking at LA/Cleveland/Orlando, what does each need to do to get over the hump?
My answer would be: - LA. Forget about wins. Forget about offense. Forget about defense. Forget Xs & Os. Get back your intensity, the rest will follow. - Cleveland. Can Shaq/Z a) maintain their health, & b) fit back in upon return? Two big Qs. And a caveat: Cleveland will only beat Orlando if Shaq can control/limit Dwight. - Orlando. Dwight needs to stop having nightmares about Shaq.
Dave Pustilnik (Da Bullseye)
I think the Lakers are just in their own heads right now. It's that late-season lull that a great team always has to eventually put behind them before their intensity returns.
I remember the '98 Bulls went through the exact same thing, which prevented them from winning 70 games in back-to-back seasons. As soon as the playoffs are in sight, all this talk about being "soft" and not wanting it will be long-gone. The keys for LA are to just get out of their own heads and start to play consistent basketball leading into the playoffs (whether they win or lose is of minimal importance), and of course, stay healthy.
There is perhaps nothing as painful in this world of ours as unrequited love. You think you found your soulmate only to discover they want nothing to do with you. Josh Smith - we all feel your pain.

High school basketball player Nate VanArendonk is a murderer..... of backboards. Look what he did to this innocent, unsuspecting backboard during a playoff game in Michigan.
