Dodge, Dip, Duck, Dive, and Dodge...and Bounce

Ever see something that you immediately want to do, while fully acknowledging that it'll end in pain?

Aside from that one chick at the club, that is.

Welcome to trampoline dodgeball. From ESPN's Page 2:

"It feels like I'm back on the playground in second grade," said dodgeballer Matt Liechty, 34.

Like many trampoline centers sprouting across the country, Sky High Sports hosts monthly trampoline dodgeball tournaments that bring out players anywhere from ages 5 through 55. Picture Ben Stiller in all his Globo Gym glory, mixed with some SlamBall. Six-person teams travel from all over to dodge, dip, duck, dive and dodge for cash prizes worth less than a tank of gas. As players get pelted by youthful memories and big foam balls, Raymond says they're getting quite a workout. An hour of jumping on the trampolines will burn more than 1,000 calories.

The best pick at every spot in the draft

In honor of today's NBA draft, ESPN Page 2 has a great article discussing the best pick at every spot in the draft, from the top pick (they took Shaq over Duncan), to the #60 pick in the second round (Drazen Petrovic). There are definitely some very questionable picks by writer Mike Lynch, such as D.Wade over not only Kevin Garnett, but also Scottie Pippen at the #5 spot. Obviously nearly every spot in the first round has either a hall of famer or an all-star, but the #12 spot is incredibly lacking, to say the least. The best player ever drafted 12th? Mookie Blaylock.

Here are some other notables:

#13: Karl Malone (Utah) over Kobe Bryant (Charlotte)



#15: Steve Nash (Phoenix)



#31: Gilbert Arenas (Golden State)



#37: Nick Van Exel (Los Angeles Lakers)



#57: Manu Ginobili (San Antonio)
