FIBA Americas 2007 - Day 9

Last night was the long awaited battle of the undefeated between Team USA and Argentina and maybe a preview of the finals. Things get more serious for Team USA here and it's a real test for the future. Important game for Brazil also who needs to win against Uruguay to advance to the next round. The last spot in the semis is reserved to the winner of the game between PR & Canada.

FIBA Americas 2007 Day 8

Highlights from the third games from the Quarter finals round (1 game remaining before the Semis).
Lebron had a great game for Team USA shooting 11 from 11 and scoring 26 points. Melo missed this game due to a bruised heel (he probably hurt himself when he fell after a big dunk in previous game).
Some of the videos might be a bit messed up near the end.
Also, half of the USA game video is highlights and the other interviews.

Sebastian Telfair High School Game

This game is from January 2004. That's one of the games you can see in the Through The Fire movie (that you can d/l from here too).
Sebastian Telfair led Lincoln with 37 points. He returned from ankle injury to post an excellent performance in front of many NBA scouts.
This is raw footage (no commentators, several angles nor replays) but good quality.

You can preview it below or download it from the link underneath the filefront player.

Players' Workout

I know I posted the TMac summer workout before but I wasn't sure about the Lebron one so I'm upping these two again. This might give you some ideas for new exercices for your own training like the one where a guy holds you back with an elastic band which must be interesting to try and probably efficient too. I'm adding a Kobe video as well where you see him messing with iron this summer right before the Americas Championships.

Top 50 Classics 21-30

Third part, it's getting more serious now!
Concerning OGC, I couldn't make up my mind: I could also have put Hurricane Starang or Da Storm instead of No Fear, same thing for Group Home with Suspended In Time, consider it tied with Tha Realness & Supa Star. Actually this also could be said for Nas & Wu Tang, too many hits to choose from...

Nike "Laced" Documentary

Nike Asia made a documentary few months ago celebrating 30 years of Nike Basketball history. For this film feature, familiar faces in the basketball and sneaker cultures such as Pee Wee Kirkland, Benny Gold, Dave Ortiz of DQM, and Bobbito Garcia were interviewed to talk about the different aspects of basketball and sneaker communities. The film goes in depth with streetball, sneaker art, fashion, and more.
I first found this a while ago on youtube divided in seven 5 min long episodes, it's only recently that I thought of packing them into a 35 min vid. Converted to mp4 the video is now 222MB.
I don't know if you can find this anywhere else so for the moment I'd like to call it a bballvideos exclusive, hehe. I hope you sneaker nuts will enjoy it :)

Top 50 Classics 31-40

Voici la 2e partie de mon top 50 de classiques hiphop des années 1990-95 environ (même si certains morceaux sont plus vieux et d'autres plus récents). Toutes les chansons de ce pack sont entières mais je me suis aperçu qu'il y avait des morceaux coupés après 2-3 minutes dans d'autres pack, sorry about that. Aussi, tous les fichiers ne sont pas en mp3, il y a aussi du m4a (ça sent le itunes ça) voire du wma.
Je rappelle qui s'agit d'un classement élaboré à partir des sons que j'ai sur mon PC et non mon top50 absolu (qui serait encore plus dur à faire je pense).

Top 10 - 31 to 40

By alphabetic order:

-Boogie Monsters - The Beginning Of The End
-Common - I Used To Love H.E.R
-Das EFX - They Want EFX
-Dr Dre - Let Me Ride
-Jamal - Fades'Em All (Remix)
-Jay Z - D'Evils

Ball4real vs Tri State Classic

2 years after And1, it was Ball4Real turn yesterday to play at the Kingdome, NYC, against Mousey’s Tri-State Classic. The team included players like A Butta, Best Kept Secret, Mile High or Total Package. Here's the 1st video I could find on youtube so far, 4 mins of play from the first half. Apparently, in the end Ball4Real team won thanks to a last bucket by A.O.

Need A New Streetball Bag?

Well maybe SBA has the right one for you. You can put your streetball gear in it and your shoes on the side. I'm not a connoisseur in sports bags (I'm carrying the same old one for almost 10 years now, lol) so maybe these type of bags already exist. The 2 bags in 1 and the separate lateral bags for the shoes look convenient, hmm I might consider changing mine :p Check them out.




Ball4Real players already got theirs...

Filipinos Ballers

Here is a clip of ballers from the Philippines playing in a gym.
Go to youtube for more videos from the Flip Ballaz.

Dunkalicious Evolution Mix

This is a great mix of almost 7 minutes by LaGrof (the waffl', lol). It's a chronological mix so you can witness the progress Yann & Brice made since 2002. Even if this mix was made with Windows Movie Maker the editing and timing was so good you could think the mixmaker used a more professional one. Anyway, props to him for this mix of the De Blaine brothers.



DUNKALICIOUS - A NEW ERA

And1 Chile Vol.2

Another mixtape but this time from South America. It's called And1 Chile and got a And1 watermark on it but I'm not sure whether it's official or not. It's 30 minute long, it's worth checking if you like watching guys dribbling and trying to pull moves on their opponents.

Top 50 Classics 41-50

I've made a compilation some of my favorite hiphop tunes, some classic stuff from the 90's. I've cut down my selection to 50 which was already a hard task then I tried to sort it out. It would be too much of a headhache for me to make a complete top 50 so I jut made a 10 by 10 selection.

Also, just to make it clear, this isn't my absolute Top 50 HipHop Classics but rather a best of the songs that are on my computer, most of my favorites are here but many are missing too.

I'll make another Top 50 (or 25) from more recent songs later.

Here's the first part:

Top 10 - 41 to 50

By alphabetic order:

-Big Pun feat. Prodigy & Inspektah Deck - Tres Leches

French dunker Guy Dupuis (who won Quai54 dunk contest last month) shuts down the Nike Midnight Madness dunk contest. By streetball.co.uk



There's a 10 min video on youtube also but there are so many missed dunks in this that it isn't worth putting it here, but maxpower31 did a mix of it and only keep the made dunks, watch it below.

Again the between the leg dunk from another angle this time.

MJ DVDs: Above & Beyond / To The Max

MJ Above & Beyond fait partie de la série des DVD sur Jordan à côté des Come Fly With Me ou Playground. Le lien ici est un téléchargement direct mais comme la vitesse n'est pas terrible je vous conseille d'utiliser un download manager pour le choper car ça serait bête que la connexion saute après avoir téléchargé 600 mo et que vous soyez obligé de tout recommencer (je parle en connaissance de cause, lol). Comme d'hab, faites click droit pour enregistrer la cible sous...

Michael Jordan To The Max est un des derniers DVD sortis sur MJ et un de mes préférés. Il est un peu tourné comme documentaire avec Laurence Fishburne comme narrateur. Il y a eu une erreur dans la description du fichier, il ne s'agit pas de MJ beyond the glory mais bien MJ To The Max

Team USA 2006

The FIBA Americas Olympic Qualifying Tournament starts today and Team USA is facing Venezuela as game opener. You'll get the highlights tomorrow here (maybe even the full game) but in the meantime I'm giving you a little taste of Team USA with highlights of the 2006 Tournament.

Innercity Streetball Mixtape

This is a pretty good mixtape from 2005 with appearences by then AND1 players like the Pharmacist, Shane, High Octane. If you like the Pharmacist this tape is for you. It has also interviews in it as well as few hiphop freestyles by the Roots or Jay Z.
Video has been upped in 3 parts by Defamous on sendspace.

PART 3

You still not sure if you're gonna cop this mixtape? Take a peek at it to make up your mind:

German BBL Dunk Contest

This is a video I saw on Germany's Finest site from last January's Allstar dunk contest. I know it's old but I post it because I didn't have any german video here yet. In the contest Fabian "White boy with hops" Greiser and Jared Newson get at eachother. I don't know the rules of the contest but apparently the dunkers does like 20 dunks each. Jared wins at the end.
DUNK CONTEST
(direct d/l from GF site or youtube below)

Shaquille In Beijin - China

Well, I admit the interest of this video is very limited as these are probably some of the worst highlights I've ever seen from a pick-up game, but since you don't get to see Shaq playing, or rather "hanging" with some guys outside a NBA court I decided to post it anyway. I'm not sure how old this is but I assume this is from this summer.



The second video is as much interesting as the first one, this is Shaq nailing all his shots from mid-distance... nah, just kidding.

Stephon Marbury on Mike'd Up

Another youtube vid this time from a tv show where Starbury was quite talkative as always. This is from early July, just after the Randolph trade.

Greg Oden Draft Week Video

This has just been posted, a personal video shot by Greg Oden when he was in NYC for the draft.
Basically this is him talking to the camera from his hotel room.

Nash Charity Classic

Late July Steve Nash held his annuel Charity game in Vaancouver. Here is the lineup:
East: Ira Newble, Fred Jones, Dan Dickau, Drew Gooden, Jackson Vroman, Raymond Felton, and DJ Strawberry
West: Steve Nash, Sam Cassell, Felipe Lopez, Samuel Dalembert, Raja Bell, Leandro Barbosa, and Alando Tucker.

And here's the recap:

Hooked, The Legend Of "Hook" Mitchell

Encore une vieille vidéo que j'ai ressorti de mes dossiers bangbang.tk, c'est un mix des actions de the Hook que j'avais compilé à partir du DVD qui été sorti à l'époque. The Hook c'est le surnom d'un ancien baller de Oakland qui est tombé à cause d'un histoire de drogue et qui est considéré comme étant le meilleur joueur n'ayant jamais pu aller en NBA.

MJ N.C. Debut (Full Game)

Here's a vintage classic college game : Michael Jordan's first game in North Carolina in 1981, that's 26 years ago! You might recognize James Worthy & Sam Perkins in this game against Kansas. Quality isn't great it was ripped from an old vhs tape.

City Slam Season 1 Finals

This isn't the full show but two clips:
THE VERT contest, the bar is set 60 inches, who between Hi-Rizer & Skywalker will jump the highest?...

SIGNATURE DUNK, one last dunk by each of the 4 contestants, this is where you need to display your best dunk and Sky & Hi did pretty well I think.

Hurricane Katrina Relief Game

Je vous remets le petit clip du match de charité organisé par Kenny Smith pour aider les victimes du cyclone Katrina. Avec comme stars entre autres: Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Gilbert Arenas, Amaré Stoudemire, Jermaine O'Neal, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Damon Jones, Steve Francis ou encore Ron Artest. Pour l'anecdote, l'équipe de l'Ouest remporte le match 114-95.

Un autre clip que je ne pense pas avoir posté à l'époque, il s'agit d'un petit concours de shoot en 2eme mi-temps entre T-mac et Agent Zero:

The Notic Vol. 2

For the 2 of you who don't know about the Notic, it's a canadian crew of streetballers and freestylers who released 2 classic mixtapes few years ago.
This is volume 2 here for those who wanna see it again. This version is 400MB in 5 parts and upped on rapidshare, yeah that means you'll have to wait few hours between 2 downloads (sorry about that) unless you can cut and start your internet connection and get a new ip everytime like I do , no waiting time in this case ;)
