The Head Fake By Billups In Pistons - Celtics Game

Last nights head fake by Billups my not of been the play of night, but it sure did revive what was at one point one of the best rivalries in basketball. Though, since that head fake or pumps shot made me think of how important is in today's game.

Rather if it was the head fake/pump fake or not. The shot fake is almost a lost art these days while you can find a few that are excellent the importance it can have on a game as seen as last night in the Pistons vs. Celtics can be a lot.

Check Out This Jumper

There is a person on the earth that can literally jump over cars and practically does it for a living. That’s right please let me introduce you to a soon to be if not already famous car jumper by the name of Chris Bryant.

Chris Bryant is 23 years old and enjoys jumping over cars and is very good at doing it. Not only has this young man from Akron, OH become famous very fast by jumping cars, but now thanks to The Ellen DeGeneres Show!

Bryant has been appearred on the DeGeneres show a few times, and just today was his Nike Debut commercial that you can see at Ellen DeGeneres website. Ellen when interviewing Bryant the first time best described him as a human grasshopper. Though, I know many people especially basketball players would like to have hops like him.

T.J. Will Be Just Fine

A few nights ago T.J. Ford of the Toronto Raptors was face raped and thrown to the hardwood on Tuesday’s game by Atlanta Hawks Al Horford. The scene was an ugly one to see which you check it out the video footage of Al Horford fouling hard and T.J. Ford getting carried off on a stretcher.

Ford was carried off on a stretcher and all the questions started to fly especially with T.J. Ford’s history of long injury list. Though, everyone can rest assure that T.J. Will be just fine. It even looks like T.J. Ford could be in the line up as soon as this weekend. Though it was interested to hear what others around the world of basketball had to say about this foul.

“Toronto didn’t fight?” he said, watching the ugly replay. “Nobody on Toronto did nothing? That crazy.” — Gus Garcia-Roberts
