Hilarious Video of the Night

DeMarcus Cousins really is a charismatic guy when not in the heat of the battle. Donte Greene’s reactions are just as priceless.

Throwback Video of the Night

Hard to believe this past Tuesday was the twelve-year anniversary of the legendary Chick Hearn’s death. Hearn was the voice of the Lakers from 1961-2001 and had a streak of 3,338 consecutive games during that time. If you’ve ever uttered terms/phrases like “slam dunk,” “finger roll” or “triple-double” (or aboutย three dozen other commonly used basketball terms), then you have Chick Hearn to thank.

Tim Hardaway isn’t in the Hall of Fame just yet, but this trio truly was something to watch during their time together.

Only fitting that Magic Johnson and Larry Bird speak on behalf of David Stern at his enshrinement into the Naismith Hall of Fame. While the league was globalized during Jordan’s run (and the ESPN boom) during the 90’s, Stern (himself) would probably credit these two men for really bringing the league into the spotlight during some of their epic battles throughout the 80’s.

Phenom of the Night

Jordon Meyers is a 6’3 guard from the class of 2017 that looks like he could be something special in the making.

Flashback Mix of the Night

Magic Johnson may very well have been one of the most exciting players to ever step onto an NBA court.
