Bread City Basketball


GOOD VIBRATIONS

Classic Knicks set to the classic bar mitzvah dance-off jam. Memories of Hubert Davis and pigs in a blanket. If you from the hood I know you feel me.

WATCHING MICHAEL JORDAN DUNK



SOUL IN THE HOLE

Soul In The Hole is one of the all-time great and most seriously slept-on basketball documentaries. It’s about NYC streetball legend Ed “Booger” Smith and his mentor, Kenny Jones. But more than that it’s just a beautiful glimpse at a summer in Brooklyn, circa 1993. Good early-90s hip-hop track, too.

I stumbled upon the full movie on youtube, subtitled in Finnish and split up into nine parts. Requisite viewing for anyone into: Hoop Dreams, Do The Right Thing, Block Parties, Finnish Subtitles. Whoever put the movie up on youtube turned off embedding, so you have click here to watch all nine parts. Peep it.

EWING JR. CRANKS THAT

Patrick Ewing Jr. showed off his Crank That dance moves at a Georgetown midnight madness rally two weeks ago. How badass is the lighting in this video? Where was that awkward Russian-looking guy in the back when everyone else was watching Soulja Boy’s instructional dance DVD? And am I really the last one to know what “superman a ho” means? Take it away, Urban Dictionary:

A male does a female (ho) in the butt and pulls out in time splooge on her back. Then allows the ho to roll over and fall asleep on her back. The next morning the sheets will be stuck to her back like superman’s cape. Resulting in a superman ho!

Whoa.
