WNBA Veteran To Play For Russia At Olympics
WNBA player Becky Hammon will travel to Beijing this summer for the 2008 Olympics to play for the Russian team. Hammon, a 10-year WNBA veteran, has no genealogical connection to Russia, but was granted a Russian passport from the country when she previously played for a professional team in Moscow. Hammon's decision spurred US women's basketball coach Anne Donovan to call her a traitor.

Well the NBA Finals have finally begun, and I don't know about you, but I'm glad they're here. The sooner they're here, the sooner they'll be over, and the sooner I'll have my husband back.
So how do you feel about the NBA Finals?

This one-man cheer squad not only got the crowd in gear to get rowdy, he did whatever it took to distract the other team from scoring. He traded in his pom-poms and short skirt for a simple Speedo — in his team's color, natch — and bounced around like a legit cheerleader for a couple hours, directly behind the hoop. Boyfriend made a royal arse of himself in the process, but hey — that's what
crazy fans are for.
Well, March Madness is officially here and, in the spirit of things, I've looked for the best baller I could find to tip off the competition. Of course, when I saw a
smooshy Frenchie displaying such skills on the "court," I knew I had my pick. Clearly basketball's not just for the likes of
Air Bud – it seems like pups of all kinds enjoy chasing a bouncy ball of any size!

I usually don't pay these halftime slam-dunk challenges any attention, but this is too funny to pass up. Watch this fan get a head start on a slam dunk. He may not be much of a ball player, but I bet he's one hellavuh bicyclist.

The mascots at recent sporting events have been
dancing,
falling,
acting like hooligans, and pretty much stealing the spotlight from the main attraction. Perhaps the following pics will get our eyes and attention back where they should be— that is...on the referee's crotch? (Thanks,
eBaum's World!)

I'm not a huge sports fan, but if basketball was played this way, then I might pay a little more attention to it. How many ways can one dunk a basketball? Apparently many.

I just love how mascots are going
above and beyond the call of duty these days. In fact, I think playing mascot is becoming a competitive sport in its own right. Who can outdo the other?

How many dumbasses does it take to remove a basketball hoop from its cement base? Three. How many SUVs?
