That took place one night after Durant scored 66 points at Rucker Park. There is so much to love about this next video, from the two team’s jerseys (orange & red), to the guy on the microphone, to how no one respects the court’s boundaries. The key sequence starts at about the 2:50 mark.

Mad genius Bill Belichick is getting props for his off-season moves, and the odds-makers also like the free agent coups of the Eagles. Of course, they also respect Aaron Rodgers and the Pack, even though they’ve been quiet.
Here’s how they are ranked when you look at the NFL futures on the odds to win the Super Bowl:
New England Patriots: 6.5/1 odds
Green Bay Packers: 7/1 odds
Philadelphia Eagles: 7.5/1 odds
The Jets are at 12/1 and the Steelers are at 14/1.
Check out the rest of the odds and get ready for a fun season.
Braylon Edwards is 6’3” and 214 pounds, he’s only 28 and has been to one Pro Bowl after racking up 80 receptions for 1,2890 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2007.
Given those factoids, the current free agent should be in camp right now after signing a multi-year contract with one of the many wide receiver-needy teams in the NFL. But because he continues to prove that a career in football isn’t among his top priorities, he remains in NFL purgatory. And given this latest incident, he may be there a while.
According to the Birmingham Eccentric, Edwards could end up facing legal trouble for his role in a fight that broke out at a bar in Michigan over the weekend. Apparently two members of his entourage assaulted bar employees with knives and forks and while Edwards wasn’t arrested, two of his cousins have been charged with felonious assault. The bar also claims that Edwards was involved and may have been an instigator.
That sound you just heard was the incineration of any multi-year deal that Edwards was hoping to land this offseason.
Now, let me cover my basis and be diplomatic for a second. Edwards wasn’t arrested, nor was he charged with committing a crime. And in this country, you’re thankfully innocent until proven guilty. Thus, Edwards is innocent at the moment.
But this is also the same man who is already on probation in Cleveland after he reportedly punched a local party promoter in the face outside of a nightclub in 2009. In September of last year, Edwards was also arrested on a drunken driving charge in New York, so there’s a history here. At this point, he doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt from anyone.
Teams were already concerned about his stone hands and his questionable desire. If he winds up being suspended because of this latest incident, Edwards will be lucky to accept a one-year deal at the veteran minimum. In fact, even if he isn’t charged with anything, this incident may be enough for teams to avoid him completely.
I think it’s telling that the Jets were more willing to sign Plaxico Burress, who is five years older and is fresh out of prison, than Edwards this offseason.
Update: Edwards has signed a one-year deal with the 49ers, but the contract is only for $1 million. He will receive $3.5 million if he catches 90 passes and makes the Pro Bowl.
Again, considering he’s only 28 and has a Pro Bowl under his belt, $1 million is chump change. He done screwed up.
NBAPA executive director Billy Hunter believes that the entire NBA season is in danger of being canceled.
“The circumstances have changed among [David Stern’s] constituency,” Hunter told a group of lawyers Wednesday, as quoted in the Baltimore Sun. “In the last six or seven years, there is a new group of owners to come in who paid a premium for their franchises, and what they’re doing is kind of holding his feet to the fire.”
Hunter told an American Bar Association conference that if he “had to bet on it”, he would wager that there will be no NBA season.
“We’re $800 million apart per year,” Hunter said Wednesday, adding, “something has to happen that both of us can use as leverage to save face.”
If the NFL lockout was bad, the NBA’s situation is far worse due to just how far the two sides are apart. The owners aren’t afraid to cancel the season because many of them would save money (i.e. they’re in the red). Many players have saved up in case of a lockout and are even finding work elsewhere. This looks like it’s going to get ugly.
Jordan Farmar, the Nets’ backup point guard, has reached agreement on a one-year contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv of the Israeli Premier League to play there during the NBA lockout. The deal includes a termination provision in the event the lockout is settled and the NBA season resumes.
“I’m very excited to play in Tel Aviv,” Farmar told the Star-Ledger. “I went there as a little kid. My stepdad is from Tel Aviv. I watched Tel Aviv play basketball and football — soccer.”
Farmar, 24, who is Jewish, will initially count as an American on Tel Aviv’s roster. Israeli teams are allowed to dress only four foreign players for league games. Farmar, though, said he will apply for Israeli citizenship “to give (the team) more flexibility, or whatever.”
As the NBA lockout drags on, more and more players are going to play elsewhere.
