(Video)Black Mamba Passes The Big Dipper On All-Time NBA Scoring List

Black Mamba scored his 31,420 point in typical fashion Saturday night in the second quarter against Sacramento Kings as he pulled up from the top of the key, hitting nothing but the bottom of the nets to secure the fourth spot on the all-time NBA scoring list passing the late Wilt Chamberlain. Kobe will pass MJ next year as he trails him by only 858 points. NBA all-time scoring list: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 38,387 Karl Malone 36,928 Michael Jordan 32,292 Kobe Bryant 31,434 *Kobe Bryant is the only one on the top 4 list still active

Louisville Guard Kevin Ware Suffers Compound Fracture In Regional Finals

Louisville guard Kevin Ware suffered what looked to be a Joe Thiesman compound fracture in the first half of the Cardinals' Midwest regional final against Duke on Sunday. All Ware was doing at the time was contesting a 3-point shot by Duke's Tyler Thornton; but when he landed on his right leg, it gave way and both Ware, and the Louisville bench knew instantly when they saw the tibia bone in his right leg appeared to be protruding from the skin. The game itself stopped for several moments and you can understand Louisville players were distraught about the situation. Ware asked to speak to his teammates and Pitino called them over. Then he was taken off the court on a stretcher and sent by ambulance to a local hospital. Kevin Ware is from Atlanta, so he told Coach Pitino to win this game so he can go home! WARNING: The video of Kevin Ware’s injury is gruesome.

Jose Calderon April Fools Himself By Going Toward The Wrong Locker Room.

Oops, maybe Calderon is a little homesick.[/caption] Jose Calderon felt right at home Monday night in Toronto as he was making his way back to the Raptor's locker room. One problem, Jose is no longer a member of the Toronto Raptors, he now plays for the Detroit Pistons. As you can see in the video, he is walking with former teammates, giving Raptor's fans high fives, and showing a thumbs up on his way into the tunnel. Then it finally donned on him, with a camera in his face, he was going the wrong way. This would be a perfect Southwest Airlines commercial! Want to get away? April Fools!

Jason Richardson Should Never Bet Again!

Philadelphia 76ers and former Michigan State Spartan's alumnus Jason Richardson lost a bet to Milwaukee Buck and former Duke standout J.J Redick over the weekend. Their former college teams played one another and by now you know the rest. Michigan State didn't seem to put up much of a fight by losing 71-61 in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. Richardson lost the bet and this is his punishment:

Not a bad look!

Oh, and before all of the Michigan State fans out there go nuts, don't worry. Richardson made sure to do this once he finally took the Duke gear off a little while ago:

JRich, that is better than sending it to dry cleaning!

(Video) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Subtracts Big Bird

We all know how much Kareem Abdul-Jabbar stresses education. The NBA Hall of Famer epitomizes the meaning of student-athlete as he is a proud UCLA alumnus. The 7'2" Jabbar made a special visit this past week on Sesame Street to see an old 8'2" friend name Big Bird! Kareem, who loves to teach, decided to educate Big Bird and his friends about SUBTRACTION.

Kareem has been retired close to 25 years now, I'm pretty sure he could substitute teach somewhere in the United States. Only problem he may encounter is if he teaches math, he may find himself without a children because of SUBTRACTION!

MOVE ***** GET OUT THE WAY!

I don't know who to blame, Chris Paul for setting Brandon Knight up or DeAndre Jordan for his posterizing dunk on Brandon who was simply trying to draw a charge. Not only did he fell taking the charge; but the ref had the nerve to call Knight for a blocking foul! Oh, that was the least of his worries!
What is the most humiliating thing that can happen to anybody that plays the game of basketball. Well it sure ain't shooting an air ball. Fans in the stands can shout out air ball, air ball, air ball, that's not a big deal, it's no different from shooting a brick, everybody does it. I can relate to the embarrassment Brandon Knight is going through, I can remember 20 years ago playing high school basketball against the mighty Raytown South Cardinals, who had two beast on their team over 6'9". One of them name Chris Lindley (God rest his soul) received the ball at the free throw line on a fast break. Little old me, standing a whopping 5'9, was going to take one for the team and draw a charge against this locomotive. I stood there and WHAM! My back is supine on the floor and this young man is hanging on the rim looking down at me with a smile. Stars are swirling around my head and the ref call a blocking foul. I laid there thinking ain't this a.... well you know. I sat up and I saw a bunch of my classmates pointing fingers at me as the crowd was roaring. Well I learned a lesson that day..... Get the hell out the way!

As I stated in the beginning, I know how you feel Brandon Knight, the humiliation of being dunk on is by far the worst thing that can happen in the game of basketball, especially if you are a member of the National Basketball Association. Each human highlight move is shown repeatedly on Youtube, local sports news, ESPN, and not to mention if it's a national televised game. The instant replays, over and over, PAUSE IT!......and over again. We use text messages, emails, social networks and talk radio just in case some poor chap didn't get a chance to see Brandon Knight's demise.

Brandon Knight's Demise

Well boys and girls that is what you call "the dunk of the year" by @deandrejordan Best dunk I've ever seen in person. #turnup
