Surprise! I’m still alive! I don’t think I’d ever gone this long without updating the blog, so I figured I better throw a little somethin’ new on here before all of my people out in internet land start to get worried, or find another blog to read. So, here we go, the third installment of the illest plays on Youtube with fewer than 25,000 views. Let’s begin with Tracy McGrady…
Yeah, I know you’ve seen him do it… but you saw him throw it to himself in the All-Star game, or maybe the one against his cousin VC and the Craptors. The one against Toronto was probably the best of the bunch, but this one wasn’t too shabby. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that Shammond Williams is pretty much that dude when it comes to the off-the-glass lob. Yeah.
Next up, I’ve got a play that I actually witnessed live on a prehistoric 15-or-so-inch TV around the time that I was just beginning to become a fanatical NBA follower…
Before I got waaaay into the NBA I was a huge fan of the AND1 Mixtape Tour. I think this play helped to convert me from the streets to the hardwood. Andre Iguodala’s reaction says it all.
How ’bout a little Stephon Marbury? Sometimes I forget that he was actually a half-decent NBA player just a few years ago, and a pretty damn good one up until a few years before that. Here he is with a pass that I’m not sure I’ve ever seen another NBA player make…
My favorite thing about this play, though? Tim Thomas sighting. Duh. I love how he just threw it up over his shoulder as if he didn’t even care if he made it; as if Starbury’s dish was so spectacular that it had shut the game down.
Next up, it’s another Marbury clip. This one is a little less incredible, but a little more vintage…
I’m proud to say that I have the jerseys of both the disher and the dunker in that video. Yes, their T-Wolves jerseys. My #5 Celtics jersey is a Gerald Green, and my #3 Knicks jersey is a…………..ok, that one’s a Marbury.
I’m going to break the rules a little bit with this last play. This one has 39,000 views–about 14,000 too many–but seriously, has anyone ever seen this before? It’s not even from an NBA game…
I’d never seen that sh!t. Nor had I seen a lot of the plays from this video. Can we get Blake Griffin involved in some International play? I feel like he’d be extra beastly with those foreign goal tending rules.
There you have it, five plays to inject a little basketball into your summer day. Hopefully they fill your daily requirements.
