2009 One Shining Moment

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

That was a dud of a National Championship game. North Carolina proved what most thought all season. That they were the best team in the nation. Overall these 64 games provided us with some memorable moments. Not overly spectacular, but as always it was exciting and had us watching. To sum ...

Syracuse beats UCONN in an epic 6 OT thriller

Friday, March 13th, 2009

As a UCONN fan this game was so emotionally draining. It had more highs and lows than any sporting event I can remember. Whether it be Eric Devendorf's three that was good, but was overturned to Jeff Adrien's missed opportunities in two overtimes, this game had everything sans a buzzer ...

Dwyane Wade Buzzer Beater and Ariza’s flagrant foul

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

Last night, the NBA had some pretty exciting action going on. Some good, and some not so good. First, the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat played possibly the "game of the year." A double overtime thriller that ended with a disgusting Dwyane Wade steal and buzzer beater.

AJ Price breaks Jerel McNeal’s ankles

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

What a move by AJ Price! In a game where he had a career high 36 points, the scrappy UCONN guard pulled this sick crossover that sent Jerel McNeal sprawling to the floor. The look-down before drilling the shot and the bench's reaction added a lot more flare to the ...

Devin Harris’ miracle half court buzzer beater

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

What a sick ending. Down one point with 1.8 seconds left, Devin Harris made a half court shot to beat the Philadelphia 76ers. What makes it even more impressive is the fact that Andre Iguodala semi-stripped the ball. Of course the referees waved it off. But luckily instant replay was available ...

Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard are showstoppers

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Golden St had the Lakers against the ropes last night, but the NBA Finalists showed the country just how hard it will be to take them out this year. Kobe Bryant was his usual spectacular offensive self, even with Stephen Jackson playing tremendous defense on him. But the highlight of ...

Shaq dances with the Jabbawockeez

Monday, February 16th, 2009

I didn't see a second of the NBA All Star game but heard I really didn't miss much. Everyone said the only real highlight was Shaquille O'Neal putting it down with the Jabbawockeez. If the DJ didn't mix that music I bet you Big Shaq would still be dancing. -H/T Awful ...

Tracy McGrady’s epic fail on a breakaway dunk

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Things could have not gone worse for T-Mac last night. 25 minutes, 1-9 from the field resulting in 3 points. I guess you can basically sum it all up with this play. And this wasn't the first time a Houston Rocket got blocked by the rim, Von Wafer introduced the new ...

Greg Paulus joins the line of Duke players to get dunked on

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Dwayne Collins of Miami posterized Greg Paulus over the weekend. The poor point guard of Duke had little chance against the bigger and obviously more athletic Collins. Wojo Light joins Kyle Singler, Brian Zoubek, and Jon Scheyer as Blue Devils that have gotten hammered on this season.

Trevor Booker lights up Kyle Singler and Brian Zoubek

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

I think I take much more pleasure in watching Duke lose than probably any other team in sports. Why? No idea. But this dunk by Clemson's Trevor Booker over Kyle Singler and Brian Zoubek made me happier than finding out that (spoiler alert) LOST didn't kill off the character that ...
