Dunks From the Rookie-Sophomore Game
If you didn't watch the game or catch the highlights on SportsCenter it's DEFINITELY worth watching this Youtube video of the Highlight of the Night from the Rookie-Sophomore game. The dunks are insane, and check out Melo's facial expression after the James Harden throw down! Obviously, there's a lot of Blake Griffin (for good reason), but a guy with two less ACL's than Blake also has a nasty off the glass slam.

Page 2's recap of some of the All Star parties from Thursday night. I love this kind of crap hahaha.
All 137 Blake Griffin Dunks
A two minute NBA.com video showing each and every one of Blake Griffin's 137 dunks. AMAZING!
Subway and Blake
This is one of the BEST promos I've ever seen. Way to go Subway and way to go Blake Griffin. Looks like I know what I'm doing with my weekend!

More Melodrama
Thankfully the trade deadline is a mere 8 days away which means that the season long Melodrama will finally fade away (at least until the draft). Just to bring everyone up to speed, here's a quick recap of where things stand with each team involved.
Denver - Melo said he would take a long hard look at signing at the extension with the Nuggets if a deal cannot be reached by the trade deadline. They're still taking offers from all suitors and even made their own offer to the Knicks that was turned down by New York, most likely just as a negotiating ploy.
New York - Turned down an offer of Gallinari, Felton, Chandler/Fields, and a #1 pick (as reported here by the NY Daily News) for Melo and Chauncey Billups. Most likely this was just a negotiating play by the Knicks, although I don't think they want to bother with the Billups-Felton part of that trade. Clearly, the Nuggets are just trying to unload some extra salary, so this was a good move by the Knicks given the time still left on the clock to complete a deal. I suspect that if it comes down to this deal or no deal New York will make the deal, but they'll try and make the Nuggets blink first.
New Jersey - Pulled out of talks at the wishes of owner Mikhail Prokhorov. They remain a player in the trade because they still have the best assets available for a deal. Still though, Melo has given no indication he'd sign the extension with them.
LA Lakers - A Bynum for Melo deal was rumored but the Lakers quickly squashed it and then started there seven game road trip 4-0 before dropping the next two. If they continue to stumble maybe this becomes a reality once again but this seems like a big long shot for either side.
Mavs/Rockets - The Mavs may do a rental deal to try and finally win a title. The Rockets appear out of the mix because they'd want Melo to sign the extension with them, something he's given no intention of doing.
The negotiations and offers should really pick up steam over the next week and hopefully Melo will finally come home to New York and team up with Amare Stoudemire for a serious playoff run!

Best Pass Ever?
In case you missed it... this may very well be the BEST PASS EVER made in the history of the game. This is what we imagined (for better or worse) when LeBron and Wade teamed up.

Amazing Video Site
HUGE shoutout to Brendan Kamm for finding this link on Hoopism. It's a collection of 65 of the greatest and/or most memorable shots in NBA history. Just some great stuff, especially in the mid 80s through the Jordan years. Definitely worth killing an hour or so over to scroll through these.
