Coleman Steps on Chase Budinger’s Face

What an obnoxious behavior?! Did Coleman do it on purpose? You bet, he did! The worst part was Coleman collecting high fives and butt pats while he’s leaving the court. And, hear this: Budinger got a technical too, I guess for reacting to this act of physical attack and humiliation. Should he have stayed on the floor and waited for Cole-jerk to wipe his shoes against his other cheek?

If NCAA doesn’t suspend Coleman for the whole year and puts him on some sort of probation (next incident, banned for life), then they would tell the public that they’ve lost their compass.

100 – 0 Loss in Girls High School Basketball

This game still lives in the media. It lives in the political circus. On February 28, Rush Limbaugh mentioned it in his address at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Read more ->

Little Girls and Kobe

A tiny Trailblazer’s fan Taylor taught by her father, I assume, the names of almost all Portland players. And, yes… that Kobe sucks! The only thing beyond understanding is why Aldridge became Pig’s Head – in little girl’s world.

LeBron’s Crab Dribble

LeBron took a “crab dribble” and was called for travel. Here’s his reasoning:

Jalen Rose explains what “crab dribble” may be, or when it’s used in the game, and adds that LeBron’s three steps have nothing to do with the move typically used by big men posting up. Here’s the video:

Here’s Caron Butler giving LeBron’s crab dribble a funny twist. He said: “I couldn’t do it in AAU, I couldn’t do it in college, obviously I can’t do it now.” (Interesting that he doesn’t mention high school.)

Have a look at the funny side of LeBron’s crab, as described by Basketbawful. Definition first:

crab dribble (krab drib’-uhl) noun. A hesitation dribble that is used to effectively mask a traveling violation. Depending on the situation and/or the player involved, the violation may or may not be called.

Usage example: No, no, no, dude. I didn’t travel. I used a crab dribble.

Word history: Crab-Dribblegate began after what should have been a standard, run-of-the-mill regular season game between the Cavaliers and Wizards. But then — shock of shocks!! — the mighty LeBron James got called for…wait for it…traveling.

Now, the video which proves that LeBron didn’t travel:

To make sure LeBron doesn’t do it again, he can use this simple practice drill from Farmington Basketball practice session:

Does DNA Mold Outstanding Athletes

Basketball is going genetic?! There was an interesting article Born to Run? Little Ones Get Test for Sports Gene written by Juliet Macur and published in New York times on November 29, 2008. Yes, they found a gene which makes a kid pre-determined for certain sports. Nobody else but researchers from Australia that sports-obsessed nation. To be a bit sarcastic here: maybe it will help the Aussies establish themselves as a serious basketball nation. More genetic research and it may help them even reach the semis in the Olympics.
