In The Face x 2: Conference Tourney Facials

Dunk Score: 9.8

In case you’re unfamiliar with the Big West and more specifically Cal State Fullerton’s senior guard Gerard Anderson, then you should know that the dude is a beast. Anderson is the definition of a leaper and has already been featured previously in an ITF, after banging on UCLA’s Nikola Dragovic in an (sorta) upset win over the Bruins at Pauley Pavilion earlier this season. During the Titans Big West Tourney first round game against CSUN, Anderson took advantage of a little guy during a fast break, nearly jumping over Vinnie McGhee. Coincidentally McGhee now knows what “Chin Nuts” really are.

LOL: Dwight Howard & Magic Clowing During Pregame

Dwight Howard, White Chocolate and the rest of the Magic squad put on a pretty entertaining pregame show for fans in attendance for their game in New Jersey March 5. These types of displays of unity are common throughout the NBA, most notably in Cleveland, where the LeBron and the Cavs give fans their money’s worth, before the ball is even tipped off. Playing the Nets this season is pretty much a vacation for any team that comes to town.

If you’re a true basketball fan then you can definitely appreciate these type of shenanigans from the variety of legends (of all ages) that the Magic have on their loaded roster. These dudes look like they are having fun, enjoying the game that the get big cheese to play.

There is way too many legendary things to point out so check out a decent log of all the action just in case you missed something after the jump…

Ghettooh: Cuban’s Get Active During Baseball Melee

As you can see, dudes that get hit by pitches in Cuba take that ‘ish seriously. After blatantly getting hit by a pitch, the batter takes off after the pitcher with a baseball bat, while the pitcher does what anybody who doesn’t know karate (or Ka-razy) would have done, broke like the policia was chasing him. I’m surprised that the batter didn’t bing more people with his massive wood (was that gay?) Surely someone will try to blame this (base)brawl on communism or Fidel Castro or both. Via Deadspin

Holler Back: Merlin Olsen Chunks The Deuces

Hall of Famer and Former Rams Legend Merlin Olsen passed away at age 69 Thursday after a battle with mesothelioma (cancer), which is easily one of the worst-sounding diseases known to man. Olsen was diagnosed with the form of lung cancer about a year ago and has kept a low profile in that time. The Utah State graduate, won the Outland Trophy in 1961 and was the Rams’ 3rd overall pick in the 1962 draft. Olsen was apart of the “Fearsome Foursome” the infamous defensive line, that also featured Deacon Jones, Rosey Grier and Lamar Lundy.

A beast in his time, Olsen was known for his compassion on opposing quarterbacks, unlike the original QB Killa Deacon Jones, who was notorious for trying to deliver the wood as a means of exciting his. Olsen gained a greater satisfaction from merely getting the tackle, shutting down the offense and moving on to the next play. In his 15 seasons with the Rams Olsen was selected to 14 Pro Bowls and an was named MVP in 1974. He was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1982

Following his football career Olsen took advantage of being a celebrity in Los Angeles, parlaying his success on the gridiron into a solid acting career, teaming with Michael Landon on Little House On The Prairie and eventually getting his own spin-off, Father Murphy. Olsen had a very successful career as a broadcaster working for both NBC and CBS during his days in the booth.

Guess Who’s Bizzack: Marion Jones Signs With WNBA

After the humiliation of her steroid usage and doing hard time in the clink for lying to federal investigators about juicing and for her participation in check fraud scheme, former track legend Marion Jones is back like cooked crack (as if it ever left) agreeing to a deal with the WNBA’s Tulsa Shock. Jones had previously been training in San Antonio with their WNBA squad, the Silver Stars in hopes of making a return to the sport that she dominated during her college days at North Carolina, winning the Natty in 1994 as the squad’s starting point guard. Now she team up with another former NCAA Champion, with former Arkansas head coach Nolan Richardson serving in the same position with the shock.

Even though the Silver Stars weren’t rolling with Jones she has found a home not too far away and will now train in Tulsa until the WNBA season kicks off in a few months. This is great news for Jones, who served 6 months in prison and was stripped of all her Olympic medals as a result of the steroid scandal. The Shock probably won’t contend for a championship, but it will allow Jones to move on with her life and give her the opportunity to get her shine on professionally in a new sport.

Sick Shot: Kobe Hits 6th Game-Winner This Season

Kobe may like to grab other dude’s meats, but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t arguably the clutchest player in NBA history. With each game-winner, Kobe becomes closer to distancing himself from Michael Jordan in this debate. This game-winner couldn’t have come at a better time, as the Lakers were in the midst of a 3-game losing streak, in desperate need of a win to get that proverbial monkey off their back. Kobe came through yet again and prevented a potential disaster.

Sadly even though LeBron James is securing his title as the greatest of all times, he will probably never be regarded at the level of a Jordan and Bryant in terms of being clutch. This is mainly due to the fact that in order to be a clutch player, your team has to be in a close game. King James isn’t in nearly as many close games as Kobe and the Lakers, and even though they win more of them than they lose, it’s never a good sign when it takes a last-second shot to defeat some of your nastier squads in the league.

WTF! Did Kobe Try To Grab Matt Barnes’ Meat?

Now I’m not saying that Kobe likes men, but this whole grab other dude’s meat thing has to come to an end. A little over a week after getting caught double-poking Andre Iguodala’s wanker, it appears that Kobe was at it again during his game-long feud with Magic forward Matt Barnes Sunday. The pair went at it all game long, getting in each other’s faces repeatedly and both men went out of their way to deliver a few bumps and courtesy elbows, whilst talking an abundance of heat.

Kobe definitely crossed the line during the 3rd quarter when following a Barnes tip-jam Bryant tried to throw his forearm in the generally direction of Barnes’ nether region. Noticing that Kobe’s arm came a little too close for comfort, Barnes reacts almost instantaneously, thrusting himself in Kobe’s general direction and proceeding to get all up in his grill. At first glance it may have appeared that Barnes flung himself in Kobe’s direction after the dunk to gloat, but the reality is that he was pissed that his manhood was being endangered.

Kobe may have just been putting his arm up to shield himself from Barnes’ landing, but after reviewing the video it looks like he makes a conscious effort to hit Barnes in the balls. This move is becoming far too common for Bryant and needs to be addressed. Coincidentally John Amaechi is sitting somewhere smiling, remembering all the “accidental” meat grabs that he amassed throughout his career. He probably has a woody.

In The Face: High School Edition

Dunk Score: 9.7

Now what we have right here is Pierre Warren, a senior guard at Marbury High School in Alabama, banging all over the life of some unsuspecting square. Warren is a beast and at only 6′1, has a boost that you can’t help but respect. Basketball is Warren’s 2nd sport as he is more known for his exploits on the football field, committing to Jacksonville State last month where he will join his older brother Wesley, who is also a member of the football team.

This video claims that this dunk is Warren’s last high school field goal and if so, he definitely went out on top. The dude he banged on was completely demoralized, and appears to fall on his face immediately after getting sharted on. Somebody please wipe that dude’s face asap.
