Real Recognize Real

Shawn Kemp and Chris Gatling

(April 30, 1992)

Immediately prior to this exchange of respect, Gatling had manoeuvred around Kemp to throw Nate McMillan's shot back to whence it game. Kemp gathered the loose ball and proceeded to throw down the second best poster of this series. You may have seen the first.

It's unlikely you'll see someone in today's game high five the dude they just dunked on.

USA Basketball shocked by New Zealand Haka. Again.

The defining moment of the FIBA 2014 World Cup Group Stage.

This ain't politically correct.

Jersey of the Week: Roy Rogers No. 99 jersey

Roy Rogers played a grand total of 37 minutes for the Celtics wearing No. 99. We believe that this is the first decent internet sighting of possibly the grail-est of Beantown jerseys.

Roy Rogers vs Seattle Supersonics

(April 15, 2007)

Given that you need to go back to 1956 for the last player (Mikan) to wear this number, it receives Jersey of the Week status and some much needed/completely unnecessary recognition.

No one in the league is currently sporting 99 though we kinda think  Mirza Teletovic should be.

Melbourne United sign Jordan McRae

Dunks are back on the menu.

Welcome Jordan McRae, may you be the Bennett Davison this town has been missing.

GIF of the Week: Headshot

The Rifleman was a fiesty character who is best remembered for a memorable Costacos Brothers poster and leading the Minnesota Timberwolves in victory dances.

During his prime in Indiana, he got into a bit of slanging match with Baseline Leaner royalty Mark Price that escalated from a war of words into a more physical exchange. If anyone has got the complete footage please contact us and the authorities.

So, without further delay, GIF of the Week is Chuck "kicking" Pricey in the face while he is trying to take a mid-game nap.

Tracy McGrady blocks Shaquille O'Neal

In June did a small piece on a dunk by Vince Carter from a TOR vs LAL game early in the 1999-00 season.

Whilst this game is best remembered for that very dunk, the Toronto squad included a maturing Tracy McGrady whose highlight reel plays rivaled that of his much heralded cousin - and we're not just talking offensive aerial artistry.

Through the first eight games of the 1999-00 season, T-Mac was averaging 2.8 blocks a game. Against the Lakers, he would only have one. But it was a good one.

Ack that it was clearly a goal tend, but with no call on the play we're more than happy to run with it.

A big thanks to YouTube channel Hastings 66ers (aka The Beverley Turner Channel) for providing this game in full. You may want to check out McGrady punching one on Brian Shaw as well.

Vlade Divac's sexy block on Ron Harper

They've been keeping this footage from us, and you, for more than twenty years.

It is with great pleasure that we present this incredible block by Vlade Divac on post knee explosion Ron Harper.
