We can pretty much count on the guys from Inside The NBA to provide the nightly comedy for your viewing pleasure. By the way, the “check out the big brain on Brad” line was clearly from the film Pulp Fiction…NOT Fast Times At Ridgemont High, although both were great. All hail Jules Winnfield!

Leave it to Boogie Cousins to break out a crispy pair for every occasion.
Vintage Video of the Night
We thank the guys at TNT and Inside the NBA once again, as this time we take a look at their “All-Decade” Best Playoff Performances from the previous decade.
Living Legend Moment of the Night

The Celtics won their 10th title 46 years ago this week by defeating their mortal enemy in the Los Angeles Lakers. Technically, as a player-coach, Bill Russell became the first African American coach to win a title in pro sports.
Crossover of the Night
Kyle Lowry crossed Deron Williams up something fierce on his way to hitting a big bucket late in Game 5.

Melo might not be in the playoffs, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t still putting in the work. Heading into potential free agency and what will be a pivotal season in his 11th year, it wouldn’t shock us to see Anthony return in the best shape of his career.
Dunk of the Night
Kawhi Leonard throws it down on the break even with the foul during the Spurs’ Game 5 victory over the Mavs.

Prior to the knee surgeries, Penny Hardaway was no joke. Look at Riles…just fuming about Mashburn giving up that baseline so easily.

As one of the comments points out, Pippen is always showing MJ love on his ‘Throwback Thursday’ tributes. As another comment pointed out, wouldn’t you?
