Ron Artest Joking Around During Postgame Conference
Posted by HarleyJane in Humor, Sports, YouTube Video's on May 1st, 2009
After helping the Houston Rockets beat the Portland Trailblazers, to go onto the 2nd round of the playoffs, Ron Artest jokes around with reporters that he’s “been in the stands before”.
It all started in the fourth quarter of the game, when Ron Artest went up into the stands after saving a ball. He didn’t come down right away, because the fans went crazy and all started patting him on the back and cheering him on, similar to a football player jumping onto the wall after scoring a touchdown.
When asked “how it felt to go up into the stands” after the game, Artest said, “well, uh… I’ve been in the stands before….I wanted to soak it in, so I sat down. This guy offered me some beer, when he did that, I’m gonna sit down and enjoy this, he’s not throwing it at me. I was gonna take a sip, but there’s too many cameras.”

College Humor Prank: The $500,000 Half Court Shot
Posted by HarleyJane in Humor, YouTube Video's on March 5th, 2009
Oh man… This is good.
Apparently two friends sit around thinking of elaborate pranks to pull on each other. So, for this prank, the CollegeHumor team goes all out, recruiting the crowd at a University of Maryland NCAA basketball game. He sets up his friend to think he just won $500,000 by sinking an impossible half-court shot. He sells it when the crowd at the game goes nuts, even though they knew he didn’t hit the shot.

World’s Most Amazing Basketball Shot
Posted by HarleyJane in Sports, YouTube Video's on February 5th, 2009
This shot happened in a college playoff game between Guilford College & Randolph Macon on January 31, 2005.
From the sound of it, this was a pretty good game. Both teams are tied in overtime with only 00.6 seconds left on the play clock. A player from Randolph Macon hits a free throw to take the lead. With only a fraction of a second left on the clock, they obviously believe they just won the game. That same player then misses the second free throw….
What happens next is something you will only believe when you watch the video.

While the title is a bit sensational, this really was an amazing, and lucky, shot. It definitely has to rank up there as one of the greatest moments in this history of NCAA basketball. Oh, and in case you are wondering, the name of the player who hit the amazing shot is Jordan Snipes.

The Double Alley-Oop Dunk
Posted by HarleyJane in Random, Sports, YouTube Video's on January 16th, 2009
So I used to play basketball at my highschool, and I also worked for the basketball team at my college. I’ve gone to alot of basketball games, including highschool, college and pro. I’ve seen alot of awesome basketball plays, but I can’t say I’ve ever seen a Double Alley-Oop Dunk.
Wow… The Double Alley Oop dunk just blows me away… especially because it appears to have happened at a high school game.

Air Jordan 2009 – Movie Trailer or Commercial?
Posted by HarleyJane in Random, Sports, YouTube Video's on January 14th, 2009
I found this video on Youtube today. I’m not quite sure if it’s a commercial or a movie trailer, but it’s pretty good brand-marketing for the Jordan 2009 sneakers. The weird thing is that I didn’t see a mention of Nike anywhere, so I’m wondering if they were behind it. I wouldn’t mind seeing it on TV someday.

Video of “Questionable” Calls Against Yao Ming
Posted by HarleyJane in Enlightenment, Health, Random, Sports, Television, YouTube Video's on December 26th, 2008
In a recent NBA game between the Houston Rockets & Cleveland Cavaliers, there were some really “questionable” calls made against Yao Ming. I was actually watching this game, and I can say that there were a few other calls that seemed a little odd. Not just against Yao Ming, but also against a few other Rockets players.
As you can see in the video, the calls were clearly wrong. Especially when you watch the close replay of Yao Ming and Ben Wallace. And then, of course, Yao couldn’t get a single call on the other end.
Check the video out for yourself:
Questionable Calls Against Yao Ming
I don’t know about you, but those calls were pretty horrible. Worst officiating I’ve seen against Yao Ming I’ve seen all year. Here’s the box score from that game. There are plenty of other similar videos showing the same thing.

Yao Ming’s Incredibly Lucky Shot
Posted by HarleyJane in Sports, YouTube Video's on November 1st, 2008
To open the 2008-2009 NBA season, the Houston Rockets hosted the Memphis Grizzlies at the Toyota Center. Led by Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady & Ron Artest, the Rockets ended up winning the game 82-71.
During the 3rd Quarter, Yao Ming attempts a shot in the paint, but ends up getting fouled by Memphis. While the defender was hanging onto his right arm, Yao uses his weak hand to toss up a blind hail-mary shot over his shoulder. He got the basket, the foul, and the extra shot.
Incredibly Lucky Shot by Yao Ming.
That’s what I would call an Off-Balanced, No-Look, Over-the-Shoulder, Left-Handed, While-Getting-Fouled shot of the year… or just lucky as hell. Either way, I’d like to be the first to nominate this shot for an ESPY.
