The release of the Lebron video makes him look like a bigger douche.... It wasn't even that bad to begin with. People have been dunked on way worse than that.. He should of released it, laughed it off, patted the young kid on the head and tell him that if he ever makes the NBA then a hell will break lose the first time they play each other.

The Andrews file.... That was in inside job by the hotel and some perv staff. I don't think she can sue the hotel, but she could sue the individual, place follow it up with criminal charges. It would be near impossible to say that the hotel was negligent if they had no idea the peep hole was there to begin with.

The video is definitely not shot from the door peephole, you can tell from the way the room is set up... it's from a wall hole, which means the hotel most likely had no idea and this is an isolated incident. Perhaps an employee knew she was coming and planned it ahead of time... no telling really.

Ahh, I hadn't seen the actual video. I was under the impression the guy was standing outside her door. Makes a lot more sense now.

I went to the relocation event today at the arena. Ended up moving from upstairs to downstairs and got some pretty nice seats on an aisle with only 4 others in the row with us. No one is in front of us either so I have plenty of leg room. I think they were good enough to finally give up my two seats by themselves upstairs but I might still miss them at some point this year.

Anyway I got an attempt at a 3pt shot for $500 out of it. He let me warm up a bit. I missed my first two shots right at the free throw line. I backed up anyway and missed again. Then I drained 3 in a row moving around the world right inside the 3 pt line because they wouldn't let me shoot there as practice. Enough, was enough had to go ahead and shoot....and it just clanked off the side of the rim. Close but no luck. It was fun shooting on the court though.

I had two half-court shots for the same cash at one of the Appalachian State basketball games last year. The first shot I was way short...probably nervous in front of the crowd. The second I felt it was good...released perfectly, straight as an arrow...it it the back of the front side of the rim then the front of the back side of the rim and straight up in the air, and alas, did not fall down.

I was close though. And I practice half-court shots all the time, but wasn't allowed a warmup.

App St. basketball games are fun and cheap, if you are in the area. Its not as crowded as football games but it is very good entertainment for two hours.

I love how they get excited and I love the way they say "Boris Diaw".

Why doesn't he take over like that for the Cats :(
