Just in Case You Forgot...
...Taj Gibson's a man. I guarantee Wade won't be forgetting that anytime soon.
Daily Dunk(s): Taj Gibson
Mr. Gibson got his grown man on in last night's Eastern Conference Championship Game 1. First, he abused Dwyane Wade with a second quarter slam that caused Twitter, Facebook, and my phone erupt in unison; I wasn't near a TV at that moment, but tweets, statuses, and texts from countless people alerted me to what had just happened. This included a text from lifelong Bulls fan TJ: "TAJ GIBSON JUST DUNKED WADE INTO NEXT YEAR".
Then, with the game well in hand in the fourth quarter, Gibson let loose another gem, catching a rebound and dunking the ball so ferociously that it sounded like a gunshot.
It's only been one game, but the Heat may have a problem on their hands.

The "What Are You Thinking?" Game v.1
Welcome the first version of Crooked Straight's "What Are You Thinking?" game.
Today we are going to highlight three Los Angeles collegiate players (read: players, not stars) who all declared early entry to the NBA draft. I doubt any of them will be drafted, which is why they are the first contestants on this show.
This version is a multiple choice version. Match the picture with the description.
A. I averaged 8.5 points this season and had four points and four turnovers in my team's season-ending NCAA tournament loss to Villanova. I did not make nbadraft.net's mock draft board but with hard work and a solid showing at draft camp, I'm looking to climb my way to #60 in the draft. If I had stayed two more years at UCLA, I probably would be a first round pick.
B. I'm a 23-year-old junior and have been compared to the great Vin Baker. They say that I'm undersized to play power forward in the NBA at 6-9, 225 lbs., but I'm already older than Dwight Howard, Andrew Bynum, and Kevin Durant so I should get to the NBA ASAP while I still have my youthful figure.
C. I averaged 4.7 assists and 3.3 turnovers as a junior point guard and choked in my team's previous two NCAA tournament losses. I make it a point to fight one of my teammates every pre-season and I'm not ranked in the top 75 NBA draft prospects. In fact, NBAdraft.com didn't even take the time to rate my skills. See you in June David Stern!
