Pacers center Roy Hibbert went bed shopping the other day and as you would expect, it’s hard to find a comfortable mattress when you 7 feet tall. Big Roy found one though all right and he looks tiny compared to a 8′ x 9′ foot bed. Good call Roy, the rest of us would get lost in a bed like that.
Dunk of the Night
While Roy might have the comfy bed, his teammate Ian Mahinmi knows how to make opponents feel uncomfortable with this great put-back slam on Jazz’s Gordon Hayward. The announcer’s reaction of “Oh, My” is very fitting.

52 years ago, one of the greatest players of all time in Wilt Chamberlain set the single-game scoring record at 100 points. This feat has stood the test of time and may never be broken thanks to a true talent in Wilt.
YouTube of the Night
Check out this new kid on the block. High school sophomore guard Dennis Smith Jr. from Trinity Christian in Fayetteville, North Carolina has some serious game. You should be excited as this young buck announces himself onto the scene. Smith has crazy handles, hops and the speed to show he’s an elite prospect.
