As seen all over the internet (props to @bubbaprog at Deadspin for tweeting about it), Miguel delivered a flying atomic leg drop during his performance at tonight’s Billboard Music Awards, seemingly injuring at least 2 fans in the process.  One chick gets straight booted in the head with the left foot as he drops the hammer down on the other girl’s neck with his leg.  The best part?  He continued the performance as if nothing happened.  Check out the video and GIF here, with some WWF style commentary:

If you like old school, bruising basketball, then this Memphis/San Antonio series was made for you. These two teams are extremely similar. They both have very good point guards, wing players that know their roles, and big men that can dominate the game.

This series comes down to two things: 1. Can Memphis keep Tony Parker out of the lane? 2: Can San Antonio matchup with Gasol and Randolph without playing Tiago Splitter?

Miami was the best offensive team in the NBA this year. Indiana was the best defensive in the NBA this year. The Heat really struggle to rebound the basketball, while the Pacers are known for dominating the glass on both ends of the floor. On paper, the Pacers have the perfect team to beat the reigning NBA champs, but it s much easier said than done.

This series comes down to one player: Dwyane Wade.

The Golden State Warriors were the feel good story of the NBA Playoffs this year.

The Warriors, who were led by a core of young players and a second year head coach, upset the third-seeded Nuggets before losing in the Conference Semifinals to the second-seeded San Antonio Spurs.

Even if David Lee had been healthy for the entire playoffs, I’m not sure the Warriors would have been able to beat the Spurs.

San Antonio’s veterans exposed Golden State’s inexperience on multiple occasions, and in the end, the Spurs were just an overall better team.

However, the future is bright for the Warriors franchise, especially if they have a great offseason.

Marc Gasol’s game was transformed immensely since he entered the league in the 2008-2009 season.

Gasol started out as just a big body off the bench, and has turned into the Defensive Player of the Year and an NBA All-Star.

He has developed a sweet midrange jump shot, some solid post moves, and a basketball IQ that is higher than any other center’s in the NBA.

While his transformation on the court has been remarkable, it fails to scratch the surface in comparison to the transformation in his appearance.

Let’s take a look at the progression of Marc Gasol’s appearance throughout the years.

New England Patriots’ star Tight End Rob Gronkowski is about to go under the knife again. For the fourth time he will undergo surgery on his forearm. Doctors have inserted a metal plate into his arm and there was some sort of an infection growing on the plate. They removed the plate, and now next week they will insert a new one. The Patriots are tight lipped as usual with Gronkowski’s injury, so it is hard to say what to expect as far as a return for the Patriots’ superstar.

So apparently yesterday Texas Rangers infielder Ian Kinsler put on a sliding clinic that Willie Mays Hayes would have been proud of.

For all the little leaguers out there, this is NOT, and I repeat NOT the way you want to slide headfirst into third base or any other base.

Between Erin Andrews and Jenn Brown, I’m mad at myself for not going to Florida.  The University is apparently a hotbed for gorgeous women who love sports.  While EA was a cheerleader at UF, Jenn Brown played softball from 2000-2004.  She’s legit.  Check out some photos of this week’s Total Sports Babe, Jenn Brown:  Read the rest of this entry »

With last nights 88-84 loss, Kevin Durant and the top seeded Thunder were eliminated from the playoffs.

Last season, Oklahoma City reached the NBA Finals before losing to the Miami Heat in 5 games.

The Thunder’s chance of making it back to the finals took a serious blow in the first round when Russell Westbrook tore the meniscus in his right knee. Without Westbrook, the Thunder just didn’t have enough offensive firepower to get past Memphis’ tough defense.

Russell Westbrook might be the most scrutinized player in the NBA. He averaged 23.2 points, 5.2 assists, and 7.4 assists per game this season, and was stilled ripped apart by virtually every basketball analyst out there after every game.

However, after watching the Thunder play without him, I’m pretty sure that Westbrook’s haters are all hiding under rocks now.
