I'm gonna miss Barack's basketball participation once his term is up. I've enjoyed him filling out brackets, speaking on the NBA and overall the fact that he's a true fan.
 
Whenever I see Dwight Howard or Jameis Winston trying to be funny it just doesn't work. I am reminded of the line from The Dark Knight, by the mobster Gamble --"Enough from the clown."
look at him, tell me he's not hilarious

Arguably the most memorable dunk contest was Jordan vs. Nique, both in the same conference.

So I'm not sure why they implemented a format where two dunkers from the same conference can't go head to head.

Also not sure why they implemented a format where the best dunker only gets ONE individual dunk. Makes no sense
 
wat do u mean

LeBron James weighed in on when Kevin Durant will really start feeling the pressure to get over the hump and win an NBA title. LeBron is all too familiar with the media and fans hovering over you, scrutinizing you, until you win a title. And even after you've won, the pressure builds again about when the next title will come. 

So when will KD really start to feel the heat?
"When I retire,”  James said. “When I retire. They’re still talking about, am I going to win a third? You know…”

“But I think, for him, obviously he’s an unbelievable player,” James said. “And I’m one of the guys that just don’t,I don’t believe that winning a championship defines your career, you know. There’s so many greats that never won, and it’s unfortunate that they didn’t.”

“But I don’t know when he’s gonna start hearing it,” James said of his friend. “I hope he doesn’t. I don’t think he should have to go through that. What he’s been able to do for that city of Oklahoma City, what he’s been able to do for his teammates is amazing. And we’ll just see what happens with it. He’s going to be in contention every year because of the player that he is, and they’ve got a great team. And we’ll see what happens.”
LeBron and Durant have been going back and forth all season, on the court, with spectacular performance after spectacular performance. Whether or not Durant truly starts to feel the pressure to win a title might come this year, if OKC fails to at least reach the finals. One things for sure, everyone would love  to see these two pitted against each other for LeBron's third straight, or KD's first.
