Scottie Pippen Talk about “The Patrick Ewing Dunk” Video. A ton of people, not you because you read this blog and know your Shtuff, do not know that Scottie Pippen is one of the best dunkers of all time. He was overshadowed by his Airness, but he is one of the best 50 to ever play, and he could levitate holmes.
In this clip, we see Scottie P reminisce of his dunk over Patrick Ewing. The Hapless Knicks were not like the Hapless Knicks of today. The Knicks of the 90′s had HOF’ers, coaching, defense, role players etc… They just could not get past the Bulls, so I still call them hapless. The “2000′s” Knicks had as many titles as the “1990′s” Knicks.
Anyways, check out this dunk. Listen to what Scottie has to say, and then just for good measure, check out Michael Jordan’s dunk over Patrick Chewing. Yep, I did it again. I am still trying to overshadow Scottie, but watch both vids, and you will see that Scottie holds his own.
Editor’s Note: Today jamjam365 brings you the second edition of the Stacheketball NBA Playoff Predictions for 2010. Those at the top of the heap are easy to predict, rather, we’re looking at the contentious positions here: the final four seats at the table. We present to you the last four teams who will make the Eastern Conference playoffs and the four who will miss out — accompanied by a fine dose of themed ’80s music! You can check out the Western Conference predictions here.
Best in the East : Last Four In
Milwaukee Bucks(Waylon/Brandon Jennings “Trouble Man”, Highwayman Tour edition)
Thanks to the Salmons trade with the Bulls, they now have a finisher in the paint besides the rookie Jennings. They will be a threat for an older, slower team (don’t pretend you’re not listening, Boston)
Toronto Raptors(From the Great White North, the Bob & Doug & Hedo and Demar mix)
With Turkoglu and a now-veteran Bosh, expect these guys to “Take Off” if the shooting holds up.
Here are my top ten winners at the NBA trade deadline. The first five are Talent Winners; they upgraded their squad for the stretch run. The second five are the Cap Winners, they downgraded talent or mortgaged their future via deals which lowered their payroll and will help with the pursuit of Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, or other top-tier free agents.

In case you missed it amongst the trade deadline hoopla, Tracy McGrady is now a New York Knick. And it looks like those NYK uniforms suit him. He burst back onto the scene last night with 26 points in his Knicks debut. Check out the video.
[I'm bringing back the And Now For Something Completely Different column idea, hopefully to run every Thursday afternoon. The focus each week will be on a different unconventional player, coach, team or strategy. Want to suggest a subject, or give me other feedback? Talk to me on Twitter or by e-mail.]
This week’s subject? Nene, of the Denver Nuggets. Interestingly enough, Nene wasn’t originally his name; that was Maybyner Rodney Hilário. He picked up the nickname “Nene” (baby in Portuguese) when he was a child, supposedly because he was the youngest in his family and in his group of friends. He started playing soccer growing up in Brazil, and apparently didn’t take up basketball until he was 14. Since then, he’s rose through the ranks, playing for the Brazilian national team in the 2001 Goodwill Games and playing club ball with CR Vasco da Gama. He was drafted seventh overall by the Knicks in 2002, but was immediately traded to Denver with Marcus Camby and Mark Jackson for Antonio McDyess, Frank Williams and a second-round pick.* Continue Reading
Why do Dominique Wilkins and Patrick Ewing Hate Isiah Thomas. Well, they hate him because he “Debos” the last Minute Maid when you are playing 1 on 1. What’s up with that?
