Chris Paul Is A Magician
AwfulAnnouncing —
Most of us grew up during one of the best eras of NBA Basketball and because of that I think we're spoiled. Some of us got to enjoy Kareem, Barkley, Olajuwon, Malone, Stockton, Pippen, Malone, O'Neal, Bird, Drexler, Ewing, Magic, and Jordan in our lifetimes. Us NBA heads are enjoying a renaissance of sorts in the NBA and while Lebron and Kobe continue to amaze there isn't a player I've been this excited about in quite some time. Chris Paul is like a combination of Stockton, Magic, and Jordan....but completely different (if that makes any sense). The kid is just out of his ...
'Round the Association: He Might Have Lost, But Chris Paul is Ridiculous
Rumors and Rants —
San Antonio 110, New Orleans 99: They were teetering on the edge of going down 3-0, but the Spurs did what defending champions do: They won at home. I love cliches. In other news, Chris Paul is the best player on the planet right now. Check the vid. That shot is insane. With home-court advantage I don't see how the Hornets lose so long as Paul keeps playing at this unbelievable level. And, just for the sake of dredging up something old that I will never forget about him, so long as he doesn't hit anybody in the nuts. Thankfully this was a great game after the ...
YouTube of the Day: Chris Paul's 'Jordanesque' circus shot
Ball Don't Lie —
Jordanesque. adj. Reminiscent of Michael Jordan. Coined by NBC Sports commentator Marv Albert. The -esque ending means 'like', as found on words like Romanesque and statuesque. Context and source: "That move was Michael Jordanesque!" [See: Paul, Chris] And I agree with Awful Announcing: Doris Burke's high-pitched "oh!" call was damn near perfect. It was like she had just witnessed an angel in a car accident. Shulman and Burke are a solid one-two broadcasting punch.

Chris Paul turns me on
The Postmen // A Sports Blog // Chicago, IL. —
Ahem. I know I’m like four months late to hop on the Chris Paul bandwagon — and, for the record, I have no problem with Kobe getting his — but damnit if I’m going to hold off now. Chris Paul makes me feel special. He really knows me, you know? He knows how to treat a man right. I think I’m in love.
Why? This is a good place to start: ridiculous, entertaining, thrilling basketball ability (vid HT, of course: AA):
That wasn’t even my favorite Paul drive last night. My favorite was Paul’s fake fourth-quarter pass that ...

Sportaphile —
This guy is amazing on the floor. (n/h)
In case you haven’t been paying attention to the NBA playoffs this year, do yourself a favor and check out one of the New Orleans Hornets games. Chris Paul is like a wizard on the court, he gets to the hoop anytime he pleases.

Run it back: Vote for the best play of the second round
Ball Don't Lie —
Was it Tayshaun Prince's game-saving block? Chris Paul's back-to-the-basket flip shot? Kobe's self-oop? Or one of LeBron's many playoff highlights? What do you think was the best play of the second round? Watch the videos, then vote for your favorite below. Prince: Game-saving block. Tayshaun Prince makes a game-saving/securing block on Hedo Turkoglu's dunk in the final seconds of Game 5. Conjures up an image of dad killing a bat with a broom. LeBron: 'No regard for human life.' LeBron James drives for the huge power ...
San Antonio Spurs @ New Orleans Hornets - Hack Game Thread #73
Pounding The Rock —
Well, Spurs fans - we have an almost important game today against an almost division rival. I kid, of course - Charlotte New Orleans Oklahoma City New Orleans took us to the brink of elimination last year before we decided to actually show up for a road game. However, they're dealing with injuries to 2 of their starters. It's hard to take them very seriously at the moment, but let's hope the Spurs do, or it will be a long evening for the Silver and Black.
Even though the great and powerful Manu is back now, Fab is out. I think I speak for all of us when I say I hope he gets better ...
Let’s Do This.
