Ball Don't Lie - NBA

Dime went with "spinning"; I'll call it "twisting" or a "power piroopuette". Either way, you need to watch this sick Sergio Rodriguez-to-Rudy Fernandez alley-oop from the Blazers' monster win over the Heat on Wednesday. Basketball is ballet.

Wow, that took some incredible timing. It's almost like Sergio and Rudy have done this before.

    Your favorite pessimist would probably say: Not bad. Well, the ball just explodes.

    One would think that opposing teams would read the part of the scouting report where it says "Sergio likes to oop it to Rudy on the right baseline often."

    Sick dunk, I'm glad to see Rudy doing well in the NBA, and Sergio is showing the Spanish Olympic coach, why he should consider Sergio next time. Finally Sergio is getting the minutes he needs, hopefully he can fulfill the hype that was surrounding him when he first came to the NBA.

    I was casually scouring Youtube, and there are about 3-4 of these. This is that European style play we keep hearing about.

    Very acrobatic and nasty play!!! Although, I don't know if this is that "European style of play we keep hearing about" seeing as how Americans have been pulling of sick Ally's for decades.

    R U even awake? Rudy Fernandez scored 22 points in 17 minutes vs team USA in the Olympics Gold medal game. Rudy outplayed every american player in just 17 minutes. I think the coach considered him, don't you?
    ET Tom Chambers was doing dunks better than that in the 80's. Chambers wasn't sick, he made others that said "white men can't jump" sick. I bet U R feeling a little sick yourself.

    unbiased-fan, i don't get it. cougar j said that Sergio wasn't considered by the spanish national coach on the spanish olympic team. Sergio was not on the team. Yes, Rudy did what you said, but what does that have to do with Sergio. i guess you are not awake because you think rudy and sergio are the same person.
