Just where might Melo be doing the “right thing” next season? That may ultimately be the question and development of the summer.

Who’s Next? Baller of the Night

Jahlil Okafor has been on everyone’s radar for quite some time, but take a look at this year’s Ball Is Life Mixtape as he heads to Duke this fall.

Draft Prospect of the Night

Take a look at the tallest member of the the upcoming draft class, 7’5 Sim Bhullar working out with our good friends over at Impact Basketball. He may need some serious conditioning, but it will be interesting to see if a team decides he is a guy their can re-shape and mold into an impact player.

Looks like Manu is rocking Spurs-colored LeBron’s for the Finals.

We see you, Serge and Russ.

When you go 6-6 in the Finals, chances are you’ll be a main topic of discussion this time of year. Needless to say, Sir Jordan has quite a lot of memorable Finals performances to look back on.

The strip and steal on one end, the shove, and the shot. Truly, a thing a beauty. The only thing missing is Ahmad Rashad whispering “Pure Will”…for those of us that remember those sorts of things.

A few of the lovely Chicago Luvabulls performed with Benny the Bull at a recent event.

Atlanta Hawks “Love Da Kids”

Great to see the Hawks offering such a wonderful experience for the local kids around Atlanta.

Not to be outdone, the Orlando Magic also host an annual basketball camp for kids. Is it just us, or does Bo Outlaw look as though he stopped aging sometime around 1998 or so?

Tweet of the Night

San Antonio-based barber Rob The Official is a talented dude. Whether premature or not, this piece (yes, the man is truly an artist) is pretty incredible.
