Is it just me, or did Orel Hershiser make everyone else in that video roughly 40% whiter? He seems to have made one poor caucasian almost transparent.

Seriously, wouldn't the video have been that much doper ,and that much more appetizing to the Warriors, if BD were wearing some old school Coolidge from "The White Shadow" knee pads?

And all in one take. I wonder if the Warriors coaching team and front office knew he was going to be roller skating on asphalt.

@diddly: I enjoyed it when against Florida. I did not, however, enjoy him pulling the "Blackout" against us later in the year.

Georgetown is not a top 10 team. Just putting that out there.

Box out. Box out. Seriously, youve got the two biggest guys on the court, you know they are trying to go for the quick putback on a miss and your center is directly under the basket...

@JohnCocktosten: They don't have the circle for 3 seconds like the NBA does, but he was both feet in the paint, under the cylinder for a good 4-5 seconds with no ball. I know he's the White Savior of UNC right now, but jeez, that's gotta be a penalty.

I don't watch a ton of NCAA BB. Can anyone explain to me how Hansborough waiting under the rim with both feet in the paint for like 5 seconds wasn't some sort of offensive violation in this BC/UNC game?

I really hope Hansborough goes pro after this year so I don't have to hear about him anymore. I think I dislike him more than I did Adam Morrison

@JohnCocktosten: When you are 4-9 in the ACC, any 3 is a big 3 against the #2 team in the country. When you are 7 of 7 behind the arc, you fan yourself.

Is there a premier Big in the league that plays softer then Hibbert? I know hes got 21, but has he really worked for a shot yet?

Marquette up 1, 2.8 seconds left, G'town shooting the last of 3 free throws after the timeout.

Someone forgot to tell the Marquette guy that if you're going to foul up 3 points you're supposed to do it before the guy shoots, not in the act of shooting a 3.
