Last week, I promised all you big men out there that we would have something special for you and your the express ALWAYS delivers (may be a little late, but it's here!)!!! Anyways, I must apologize for my tardiness. I have the grind flu (itchy eyes, runny nose, stuffy pockets, let me know!!!). I'm sorry!!!! But on with out Throwback Player of the Week!
Rik "The Dunking Dutchman" Smits
All I'm going to say about this guy is that if he we're playing in today's league, he'd average 25 and 9! Need more on him, GOOGLE HIM! Enjoy the video!
First and Foremost, to all you big men out there, I want to apologize for the lack of Power Forwards and Centers in the Throwback Thursdays section. Next week I have a very special big man for all of you guys! As for this week, we're going to feature another point guard who kept on amazing us with his "organized street-ball". Who?! I'm glad you asked! Drum roll please...........
And your Throwback Player of the Week is-Kenny Anderson. Silky smooth handles, amazing court vision and an above average jumper made Anderson one of my all time favorite point guards. His glory years came while he played for the New Jersey Nets from 1991-1996. In his 3rd NBA season, he nearly averaged a double double with 18.8 ppg and 9.6 apg. Those numbers earned him his only All-Star appearance. As the story often goes, sadly, Anderson's career was riddled with injuries, keeping him from reaching his full potential and turning this talented point guard into a journeyman player.
Anderson now coaches The Hombres of the Slamball League (I think it airs on Comedy Central.......if not, IT SHOULD!). Anyways, enjoy the video and comment please!!!
..............Simply Amazing!!!! I would REALLY love to see Phil rock some Kobe's.............
(Editors Note- Last sentence was PURE sarcasm. Anyways, as much as I want to, I can't take credit for this. I saw it on NiceKicks.com) Hope you enjoyed it!
This week, we have a very special Throwback Thursday. Normally, this section is for special players who we remember made their mark on the league, but may be somewhat forgotten.
As I got to thinking about a throwback player for this week, I started to think, "there are special players, but there are also some very special teams". So in honor of the team that brought the circus to the hardwood, this Throwback Thursday is dedicated to the 1999-2004 Sacramento Kings. I mean, of course the greatest show on the court was the original Showtime Lakers and the '96-'98 Bulls (based on Jordan and Pippen alone!), but these Sacramento Kings, under the tutelage of Rick Adelman (now coach of my Houston Rockets), had that certain "spizazzz" about them that you can never forget! I mean, really, what team do you remember throwing 10 precise behind the back passes on one possession?!?! Ok, so maybe I exaggerated a little bit, but they certainly made basketball fun (except for the not winning a ring part. sorry.). Hats off to Vlade "King of Flop" Divac, Doug Christie, C-Webb, Jason "White Chocolate" Williams, Bobby "6th man" Jackson, Mike Bibby, Peja Stojakovic, and Hedo Turkoglu and the Maloof Brothers for bringing these players together. Thanks for the memories.
(Editors Note- Excuse the music on the mix.....I PROMISE it won't get you hype, but the play will! LOL!)
This guy is a true character! If you think celebrations were out of line this year in Cleveland, just imagine how crazy things are going to be this year now that Shaq is in town. Anyways, check out this hilarious video with Delonte West freestyling while waiting for some KFC.
I know you NBA fiends have been licking your chops for some kind of action this summer (I know I have!). Summer Leagues, Free Agency and Stephon Marbury have all kept us somewhat entertained over the summer, but there is NOTHING like re-living some of the moments from the season/playoffs. NBA.com does a good job of that with top 10 lists (dunks, assists, blocks, etc.,), but the great people at SLAM have more than 1-up'd them with a top 100 list of dunks for the 08-09 NBA Season. ENJOY!
