More Pistol Pete Videos

After the shooting tips and drills last week, here are 3 new Pete Maravich instructional videos to improve your game. Again, despite its old school look these videos contain some useful tips and some exercices that aren't that simple to perform (go and try the dribbling drill on the floor and see if you can do that ;)

Cavs vs Celtics, October 26th

Great game in HQ from a couple of days ago, nice teamwork from the Celtics. KG got a triple double, I didn't know he was an assist guy.

The Gigasize link didn't quite work so I've re-uploaded the game on... Filefront. I know the chances are high that the file gets deleted within few hours but that's the only place I could put it. So good luck getting it. And yes, if you get redirected to filefront homepage, don't bother asking: this means the link is dead.

American Gangster

After watching the flick with Denzel yesterday I felt like taking a little break from bball and bring you the latest Jay Z album "American Gangster" inspired by the motion picture (but not the soundtrack, it's an all-new Jay Z material).
This is "raw, uncut & authentic hiphop" with no real radio songs (except maybe "I Know" with Pharrell), no Beyonce duets here ;) only few featurings with Lil Wayne or Nas. Make sure to check out Falling with Bilal too.

Shooting With Pete Maravich

Pistol Pete Maravich ... the name still rings in the ears of basketball fans across America. College basketball's all-timeleading scorer ... NBA All-Star ... and finally the youngest professional inductee into the Basketball Hall of Fame.

In 1987, old Pete Maravich made this 40 mintue video to instruct young people on how to proper shooting fundamentals and techniques.
I know it looks like some vintage, old school stuff but don't be fooled by that as you might find some usefull basic tips to improve your shooting skills.

Warrirors Hawai Training Camp

During the Warriors' final preseason game against the Lakers in Hawaii, Baron Davis agreed to wear a microphone while sitting on the bench. Because he was gracious enough to do this, we were able to catch a glimpse of the kind of teammate he is. Watch also Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson dancing to Soulja Boy's song.

Rockets-Sonics Highlights

Here are the full highlights (9 mins) of last Saturday's game between Houston and Seattle.
T-Mac was the leading scorer with 30 points, Durant led the Sonics with 25.
Francis only got 6 points but I put that pic anyway because it was cool.

I've added some new music by Fat Joe, Jay Z & Lil Wayne over the highlights. Enjoy.

Germany's Got Game

This isn't new, as you can tell from this mix from few years back. You can see the influence of the first And1 mixtapes on this video but they didn't just copy/paste the And1 moves like many did at that time. I found this video on an old CD Paul Gudde sent me back in 2003 or something.
Paul is a german streetball and was a pretty famous at some point doing tournaments in the UK and stuff like that. He sent me this while he was living in Paris. I haven't heard of him recently. Anyone knows where is he now?

Best Damn Unforgettable Plays

Okay this video is not only about basketball but sports in general but it doesn't mean it's not interesting right? ;)
Here is the first part of the Top 50, from 50 to 26. I'll upload the second part next week.

I've put the intro on youtube if you like to see what to expect.




TOP 50 Unforgettable Plays (50-26)

New Streetball Legends

This is originally an hour long mixtape DVD (ripped by BBV team) released in 2005 but I chopped it down to 17 minutes removing all the -boring some some- interviews. The BBV releas was 700MB big, this one is 200MB with streetball (indoor though) action only.

Description:
"On tour for three years, today's hottest streetballers have toured the
world to bring you some of the most fascinating moves ever seen on the
court. As seen on ESPN, Nike Freestyle commercials, MTV's "Who Got Game?"
and many other streetball documentaries, these players are now featured on
the most action-packed dvds to ever come out. The New Legends of Streetball
tm. features ballers such as White Chocolate, How High, Flite, Big Swoal,
I'll Be Right Back, Black Ninja, Get Up, Elevator, and many,
many others. A Must Have DVD."

Best Plays: Dunks, Passes & Blocks Of The Year Mix

Here's a little mix I just made, actually no, it's an ESPN mix called 3Ds of the year, I've just edited it a bit and added some music to it (from Channel Live & Hell Rell).
These highlights from last season were really short so I couldn't edit them the way I desired and synchronize action with music, but I still have to make my Team USA mix and I'll try to put more work into it, right now I'm just too lazy, lol.

Toronto Raptors vs Real Madrid

I was supposed to post the T-Wolves vs Celtics game but when I spit the file in two (so it would fit in Megaupload) I realized the sound was really out of sync, it was very annoying to watch. So I decided to put this other game instead.

Calderon and the Raptors (without Bosh) take on the Real Madrid. Tight game.

Chicago Bulls vs Paris Racing

Ten years ago, in October 1997, MJ and the Bulls faced the french team PSG Racing at the Bercy Stadium as part of the McDonald's Championship game in Paris.
The french team featured french stars like Stéphane Risacher or Richard Dacoury and was coached by Božidar Maljković. The Bulls were missing Pippen and Rodman but Jordan was there, that's what matters right? ;)

Suns Intrasquad Game

Last Saturday the Suns had their annual intrasquad game to prepare for the preseason.

"Nash was his typical steady self, compiling 15 points and nine assists, but the difference-maker for Team White was Boris Diaw.

Diaw’s offseason training looked like it paid off, posting 21 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and three steals on 9-of-14 shooting. More important than Diaw’s stats was the bounce that he displayed around the court. Suns fans can expect a return to form for Diaw, who has worked himself into great shape.

“I love that guy,” D’Antoni said about Diaw. “Every time he touches the ball he makes a good decision.”

Fifth-year guard Marcus Banks also looked sharp, scoring 17 on 2-of-4 from downtown. Raja Bell added 14, but the player who stood out the most was reserve forward/center Sean Marks.
The 6-10 New Zealander registered 11 points and 11 boards, but more importantly, was an active presence in the paint. On one play in the first half, Rawle Marshall elevated for a tomahawk slam and Marks swooped over to stuff him cold about three feet above the rim. It was the highlight of the night, but not resting on his laurels, he sprinted to the end of the court to finish the play with a thunderous flush."

Spanish Dunk Contest

Here is the Slam dunk contest from the Supercopa held in Bilbao last Saturday.
The 3 contestants made few good dunks but it was mostly a contest between James Singleton (former Clipper) and Victor Claver (pictured) as Vega's dunks aren't really impressive.

Lebron James & Kanye West @ SNL

Lebron James was the host of the 33rd season premiere of Saturday Night Live last weekend.
He plays in several sketches you can download below (5 out of the 7 he did), Kanye West did one also about him being a cry-baby when he doesn't get an award. I'm also adding Kanye's performances. Oh yeah, it has nothing to do with bball or hiphop but that music video with Iran's president was quite funny so I'm adding it too :p
