Video: Rockets Broadcaster Removes Headset, Yells at Refs



(post comes courtesy of the good folks at AOL Fan House)

Matt Bullard is the color commentator for the Houston Rockets, and, as you can see in this excellent photo taken of the man butchering Adam Keefe back in 1999, he once played for the team as well. It's safe to say that Bullard bleeds Rockets red, so it's not surprising that he's a little more emotionally invested in the games he's calling than he probably should be.

Witness Saturday night's game against the Trail Blazers, where, after a questionable call goes against Houston in the fourth quarter, Bullard actually removes his headset to berate the refs from media row.

Listen at 24 seconds when the announcer says ""You got to stop going for the flops! You guys are terrible"

Talk about being a Homer....

Kevin Durant's Got NEXT



The Durantula, Kevin Durant grabbed the honor of being ESPN The Magazine's NEXT athlete for 2010 in the publication's annual NEXT issue. A NEXT athlete is described as a future leader or trailblazer in their sport. The first issue of ESPN The Magazine was a NEXT cover with Kobe Bryant, Eric Lindros, Alex Rodriguez and Kordell Stewart. Other NEXT athletes include Adrian Peterson, Yao Ming, LeBron James and Derek Jeter.

In a recent NBA.com article he spoke about what it means to be NEXT, how he is probably always going to be skinny and why Beyonce is the greatest of all times "Kanye shoulder shrug".

Black Mamba Strikes Again

Just in case you live under a rock, here is Kobe's game winner against the Heat last night.


Thunder-cats Krumpin'

Did I ever mention that our players are pretty good dancers? Young Thundercats Kevin Durant, James Harden and Jeff Green get down to Chris Brown's "Transform Ya". KD has some pretty good krumping skills.

King James as the King of Pop

So last night Joakim Noah decided to call LeBron out for his celebratory dancing on the sideline during the game. Some say it was in poor taste and applauded Noah for standing up to the King. The truth is whether you like it or not, these are the Cavs. Always have been, always will be. Dancing is how they bond.

Check out the infomercial they did to Michael Jackson's greatest hits. I think Jamario Moon was getting it the best. What do you think?

Dance Party Friday in Cleveland. Woot Woot!



And One: Nets Grab First WIn




What's the best way to get your first win? Live in denial. That's exactly what Kiki Vandeweghe did. NBA.com's John Schumann writes in his most recent column.

Before Friday's game with the Bobcats, new Nets coach Kiki Vandeweghe walked into his office as though he didn't have a care in the world. He seemed a little amused by the pre-game media process, and he looked like he was getting ready for a Friday night dinner at his favorite restaurant, not an NBA game.

He did realize his team was 0-18, right?


So how did the New Jersey Nets celebrate their first win you ask? At The Jersey Shore of course. Fist pumpin' like champs. Friggin' A man! WOOOO!
