The Story Of Elevator Ernie Johnson, And A Shirt You Need To Buy
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Ernie Johnson is one of the nicest, most genuine people you will ever meet. Not only that, but he subscribes to the tenet that this site has survived on over the past three years. If you can't make fun of yourself, who can you make fun of?
Well, Ernie did just that when looking back at old footage of himself in a makeshift dunk contest, and a clothing company has even brought back his famous shirt from that night. Here's the background....
Great story, and the shirt you see above is not only available now, but a portion of proceeds even go to The Lymphoma Research Foundation (the disease EJ began battling in 2003).

Dwight, Nate....And Lebron?
Saturday, February 14, 2009
Way for Lebron to go ahead and make everything about him. Nate Robinson and Dwight Howard put on a heck of a show for everyone, with Robinson winning, but Lebron's announcement might have been the biggest highlight....
Dwight Howard was much more impressive overall, and I think the markets their respective teams play in came into play, but not a bad show. In fact, outside of everything that Vince Carter, Dominique and MJ have done, I think that Howard dunk from the side was one of the more impressive dunks I've seen.
But Lebron in a dunk contest? Yeahhhh....sorry Nate "Kryptonite" Robinson.
Vote For Joe
Tuesday, January 06, 2009
There are a lot of "Internet Campaigns" out there these days, especially in the NBA. A lot of them are pretty boring, and re-treads of other people's ideas, but one I'm in full support of is "See Joe Dunk". The Bucks' Joe Alexander is trying to get into the dunk contest, and has been posting various vids on YouTube trying to gain support. Here's a taste with one called "Cookies"....
Good stuff, but in all honesty, all Joe needs to do is show them this clip from the Big East Tournament last year and he's in....
