Sam Cassell é um tri-campeão da NBA, ex-jogador e atual assistente técnico do Philadelphia 76ers. Ele também é um cara que sofreu uma das lesões mais toscas que eu já ouvi falar - e olha que as lesões toscas não são pouco comuns.

O Derrick Rose, por exemplo, certa vez estava comendo maçãs. Ele tinha uma faca nas mãos porque estava cortando pedaços da maçã para comê-los. No decorrer dessa tarefa, acabou adormecendo. Quando acordou, esqueceu que tinha a faca, esticou o braço para alcançar uma garrafa d’água e terminou a noite com dez pontos no antebraço.

O Latrell Sprewell, outro exemplo, tava dando uma festa no seu iate quando viu uma mulher vomitando no carpete do convés. Sprewell ficou puto, principalmente porque percebeu que a mulher nem sequer havia sido convidada. Quando o namorado dela apareceu, Latrell partiu pra cima dele. O atleta tentou acertar um soco na cara do rapaz, mas errou e acertou a parede. Conta final: quebrou a mão, teve que passar por uma cirurgia e ficou 6 semanas sem jogar.

Charles Barkley, mais um exemplo, foi a um show do Eric Clapton e caprichou: passou bastante loção corporal para ir ao concerto hidratado e cheiroso. Chegando lá, foi acometido por uma terrível coceira no olho e, ao coçá-lo com as mãos sujas de loção, queimou a córnea. Teve que usar um tapa-olho e acabou perdendo o primeiro jogo da temporada de 1994-95.

Para você ver, lesões toscas são mesmo mais comuns do que a maioria das pessoas imagina. Repare, porém, que todos esses três exemplos que eu dei compartilham uma mesma característica: a lesão aconteceu fora das quadras. Não foi esse o caso de Sam Cassell. A lesão dele aconteceu durante um jogo.

Na temporada de 2003-2004, Cassell estava no Minnesota Timberwolves. Ele tinha 34 anos e atuava pela sexta equipe diferente desde que havia ingressado na NBA. Apesar de ter conquistado dois títulos seguidos logo nos seus dois primeiros anos na liga, Cassell passou seu começo de carreira sendo reserva. Ele era uma figura importante nos times que passava, mas não era uma estrela da liga. Isto é, até chegar ao Minnesota. Lá, aos 34 anos, foi pela primeira e única vez selecionado como All-Star da liga.

Na equipe do Timberwolves, ele era o segundo pontuador, ficando atrás apenas de Kevin Garnett, que, naquela temporada, foi eleito MVP da NBA. O terceiro cara do time, aliás, era o já citado Latrell Sprewell, que não vivia o auge da carreira, mas ainda era muito importante com seus 17 pontos de média por partida.

Ou seja, em 2003-04, a equipe de Minnesota montou um dos melhores planteis de sua história e o resultado da temporada reforçava essa ideia: ficaram em primeiro na conferência oeste, a frente de Lakers e Spurs.

Depois de uma primeira fase de playoffs tranquila contra o Denver Nuggets, pegaram o forte Sacramento Kings nas semi-finais e só conseguiram vencê-los depois de sete partidas. No segundo confronto dessa série, faltando pouco mais de 20 segundos para o término, Cassell acerta um chute de dois da zona morta e põe seu time três pontos a frente no placar. A emoção é muita e Cassell resolve comemorar de um jeito inusitado: põe as mãos na frente do corpo e finge segurar algo grande e pesado. Ele então começa a saltar abrindo as pernas pro lado. A imagem é inequívoca: ele finge segurar um saco escrotal imenso, que de tão grande impede que ele feche as pernas. Se popularizava ali a comemoração das bolas grandes, imitada por vários outros atletas ao longo dos anos.

Acontece que - e você já deve ter adivinhado isso a essa altura do campeonato - o Sam Cassell se machucou fazendo essa dancinha. Passou a atuar progressivamente menos nos jogos, até finalmente ficar de fora das duas partidas finais das Finais de Conferência contra o Los Angeles Lakers. Eventualmente, ele teve que passar por uma cirurgia para reparar uma cartilagem no quadril.

Segundo o atleta, a história toda é uma lenda urbana e uma coincidência, a lesão do quadril, segundo ele, não teria nada a ver com a dança. Mas essa não é a história que seu ex-técnico, o saudoso Flip Saunders, conta: “O Sam Cassell acertou um arremesso do canto contra o Sacramento e ele fez aquela dancinha dele das Bolas Grandes e, a partir dela, ele sofreu uma pequena fratura no quadril. Sem dúvidas, eu penso naquela dança o tempo todo. Mas essa é a NBA. Eu cheguei em quatros finais de conferência seguidas, em Minnesota e Detroit, e nós tivemos problemas com lesão em todas elas. O time que vence o título é normalmente o time mais saudável.”

Que coisa, não?

This Guy Never Fails to INSULT!

Even When He's Presumably Trying Not to...

Speaking at the Black Conservative Federation Gala in Columbia, S.C., Friday night, former President Donald Trump made a series of inflammatory comments about Black voters, including suggesting that Black voters support him because of his criminal indictments, that they have "embraced" his mug shot and that he could only see Black people in the audience because of how bright the stage lights were.

"Black people are so much on my side now because they see what's happening to me happens to them," Trump said about his various indictments.

To be clear, Donald Trump, is not some wayward youth who was out one night with friends who robbed a liquor store, and as a result, caught a case. This man grew up and has lived in privilege for most of his life.

He is a one man crime spree... He has 4 indictments and 91 criminal charges against him. Moreover, he is willing to throw the entire nation under the bus to keep from being held accountable for his crimes. He's lived his life on the edge, skirting the law and getting away with it for decades. And now that accountability appears to be on the horizon he's willing to destroy anyone and everything that threatens to get in his way.

He even has the audacity to try to pull his, so called black supporters into his web of deceit and lies. Some of the "Village Idiots", such as Tim Scott, Ben Carson, Snoop Dogg, Mike Tyson, Stacey Dash, Dennis Rodman, Azaelia Banks, Omorosa Manigault, Terrell Owens. Herschel Walker, Shawne Merriman, Latrelle Sprewell, Waka Flacka Flame, Sexyy Redd, Candace Owens, Ice Cube, Lil Wayne. Chrisette Michele, Tina Campbell, 50 Cent, Isaiah Washington, Kodak Black, Lil Pump, and of course head boot licker, Kanye West, might not be insulted by his racist comments or appalled by his outlandish shenanigans, but millions of hardworking, law-abiding black people are not amused by his constant putdowns and backhanded compliments...

I wonder how many of these celebrities would allow, Joe Biden, to get away with making, even one of these kinds of outlandish assertions? They'd be all over him!

As a Black Person Who Doesn't Commit Crimes, Has Never Served Time in Jail, and Doesn't Think Going to Jail is a Something to Be Proud of; I Find These Comments, and Inferences Totally Reprehensible!

I don't really understand all the fuss about Dray punching JP, it happens in every team at least once a year, with guys this competitive fights are bound to happen. It isn't like Latrell Sprewell chocked his coach or all the gun incident with Gilbert Arenas when he was still in Washington. I understand that the times are different now but come on this is normal, he didn't try to kill Poole. The team might have lost confidence in Dray tho so a trade could be in the plans but it is surely not as big as people make it seem

I agree.

The fact that the Warriors have three players who are all in line for a new contract and not enough money to pay them all is the underlying tension IMO

I'm not saying money is the reason Dray punched him, but money is the reason it's turned into such a big deal. Along with the fact that draymond is now a media personality.

[dan6085]

Here are 20 of the most controversial NBA players of all time, along with some of the reasons why they were controversial:

5. Latrell Sprewell - Sprewell was suspended by the NBA for choking his coach during a practice.

6. Charles Barkley - Barkley was known for his outspoken and sometimes controversial comments, including his criticism of Michael Jordan and his admission to gambling.

7. Gilbert Arenas - Arenas was suspended for bringing guns into the locker room and engaging in a dispute with a teammate.

8. Shaquille O'Neal - O'Neal was involved in several controversial incidents, including his feud with Kobe Bryant and his comments about Yao Ming.

10. Karl Malone - Malone was accused of fathering a child with a minor when he was in college and was involved in a controversy over his comments about HIV.

11. Stephon Marbury - Marbury was known for his erratic behavior and clashes with coaches and teammates.

These players were controversial for a variety of reasons, including their behavior on and off the court, legal troubles, and outspoken personalities. While some were able to overcome their controversies and continue successful careers, others were not as fortunate and saw their reputations permanently damaged.

Streetball In Motion

An ode to the AND1 Mixtape & Its Legendary Impact

ESPN recently debuted is 30 for 30 Documentary, “The Greatest Mixtape Ever,” on May 31. Directed by Chris Robinson and Set Free Richardson, the documentary examines how 1990s & early 2000s streetball and the And1 Mixtape transformed basketball culture and took the sports world by storm. I remember in middle school and high school when AND1 first hit the streets. Every kid in my neighborhood was trying to imitate the ball-handling styles of guys like Hot Sauce, Escalade, Spyda, "Skip To My Lou" Alston and The Professor. Even I tried to grab a basketball and emulate the crossovers and dribbling styles I was in awe of. Of course, I'd embarrass myself, by giving minimal effort in practice & being drawn to a brief but pathetic stint as a local hoodlum, but mainly because I never had the skillset to be a basketball player. I always admire these guys and wished I could dunk, have the speed and drive to the basket like these guys. I would get excited and root for any one I'd see from AND1 or street ballers in general make it to the NBA, the G-League or any professional league to show their talents. I like rooting for underdogs, especially street ballers.

Call me biased.

In case you are unaware of what the AND1 Mixtape is, let's go down memory lane for a moment.

In the late 90's, a New York DJ named Set Free had an idea to film footage of neighborhood basketball games and streetball tournaments and add background music to it, and sell it on VHS. This came to be known as the AND1 Mixtape.

To further explain, "And 1" is derived from a phrase used by sports broadcasters and announcers to denote a free throw awarded to a player against whom a foul has been committed while scoring a goal.

As Set Free stated in an interview with ESPN, "Basketball and hip hop have a symbiotic relationship like no other combination of music genre and sport. The history of this mixtape – how streetball VHS tapes, a DJ and streetball players changed the culture of basketball – is essential to understanding that relationship. It had to be told!”

Of course, the rest is history.

Once the VHS tapes began circulating, AND1 went beyond showcased tricks and ballhandling. The company, AND1, began as a graduate school project partnership of Jay Coen Gilbert, Seth Berger, and Tom Austin. The brand started by selling T-shirts out of the back of a car, with catchphrases and trash-talk quotes, attracting street ballers all over the nation. If you go into a store like FootLocker or even a resell clothing outlet like TJ Maxx and see slogans on t-shirts from companies like Nike and Reebok, you can thank AND1 for influencing that style.

Stephon Marbury and Rafer Alston became synonymous with the AND1 brand and brought the brand to a wider audience. Marbury became the companies first spokesman when AND1 came out with its first pair of sneakers. Alston, of course put the basketball world on notice with the legendary, "Skip Tape", referencing his street ball nickname, "Skip to My Lou", showcasing jaw-dropping ballhandling and skillset displays. Both men went on to play in the NBA and oversees, achieving success in their own right.

Other NBA players, such as Jamal Crawford and Latrell Sprewell, were also associated with the brand.

AND1 summer tours even began in 1999, later evolving into the Mixtape Tour with the release of Mixtape 3. Imagine the Harlem Globetrotters, with a street edge. That is the best way I can describe these tours. Notable streetballers such as “Hot Sauce” and “The Professor” would go from court to court challenging other players in one-on-one games. The streetballers who prevailed through the very end of the summer tours would receive endorsement deals from AND1. From 2002 through 2008, the tours were televised live on ESPN. The summer tours began in the United States but soon branched internationally, into more than 30 countries.

They even had their own video game.

Of course, there were those who took exception to this brand and its players. Mostly, the AND1 players, ranging from skepticism to contempt for their arrogance and being "all-flash but no fundamentals" to their superstar mindset and not being team players.

Current and former NBA players dismissed streetball players, saying that the NBA has the best players in the world, and if streetball players were on that level, they would have made it to the league.

Here are some quotes from those NBA players:

Baron Davis: “Are you f*cking kidding me? No way!.”

Lou Williams: “We just trained professionals. We play basketball on days we don’t wanna play basketball.”

Kyrie Irving: “ ‘Yeah we could have played in the league’. No you couldn’t have. You are not taking care of your body. You are not taking the game serious. Everybody jumps high, everybody is fast, everybody thinks that they are the worlds greatest player. There’s only been 5000 something people in the NBA. Total. Ever.”

Iman Shumpert: “I remember Hot Sauce going to the pro-am and getting his a** bust. Hot sauce came down and they was calling that man ketchup by the time he left.”

The question remains, Is there a place for a street baller in a professional league?

Maybe.....if you got the heart, the work ethic, and the mindset to do it. What has been called into question is the mentality, discipline and maturity of its players, going from the street level to the professional level.

This isn't a notion of just, "Shut up and dribble!" rather a reality check. Being amazing at ones craft and cultivating the skillset is one thing, but, to have the heart of a champion and recognizing that this is a team effort, to achieve victory, in a collective manner is something else.

AND1 and its players maybe just mere one-trick ponies to those that have put in the time and effort at tryouts, basketball camps and pushed themselves in front of college scouts during those stressful high school games, but, you cannot deny the amazement, raw talent and showmanship that was on display. Even a scrub like me tried to master Escalade's passing game and that insane crossover by Hot Sauce.

You can dismiss the streetballer all you want, but you can't dismiss its impact on future generations currently playing in the NCAA, NBA and oversees. Presently, over one hundred AND1 High School and AAU teams play across America in various tournaments and leagues.

Its influence is undeniable, even to this day.

That is all.

What Really Happened Between Latrell Sprewell & PJ Carlesimo

Check out this listing I just added to my Poshmark closet: Vintage Reebok New York Knicks White Latrell Sprewell Basketball Jersey 48 NBA.

[tsportsday]

Free throws were harder than 3-pointers for Jalen Brunson on Friday.The New York Knicks guard dropped a career-high 50 points on the Phoenix Suns in a 139-122 win on Friday, making some wild stat line history in the process. The All-Star went 19-for-23 from the field, 7-for-9 on free throws and 9-for-9 from deep.The latter ties an NBA record for the most 3-pointers without a miss in a single game. Only Latrell Sprewell and Ben Gordon (twice) have matched that number.Brunson also had nine assists, six rebounds and five steals, making him the first player to ever post 50 points, five 3-pointers, five assists, five rebounds and five steals in a single game, per Statmuse.Pretty good for a player who shot 0-for-6 from 3-point range in his previous game, as part of a loss to the Utah Jazz.That flurry of numbers came in a wild win for the Knicks, who fell behind by 10 points in the third quarter but roared back with a 33-13 run. Here's how the Knicks scored their first 17 points after Brunson checked back in during the fourth quarter:Jalen Brunson free throwJalen Brunson free throwJalen Brunson 2-pointerIsaiah Hartenstein 2-pointer (Brunson assist)Julius Randle 2-pointer (Brunson assist)Jalen Brunson free throwJalen Brunson 2-pointerJalen Brunson 3-pointerJalen Brunson 3-pointer"I was just playing," Brunson said after the game. "I wasn't really thinking, I was just trying to focus on my mechanics, seeing how the defense is playing, getting to my spot, stuff like that ... The ball went in tonight."Randle naturally made extra sure to get Brunson the game ball, after the lesson learned from this week's Giannis Antetokounmpo drama.In his second year with the Knicks, Brunson is now averaging a career-high 25.6 points per game and shooting a career-high 46.0% from deep. The Knicks improved their record to 14-10, good for fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
