We hope everyone had a great weekend. As many of you knew, it was NBA All-Star weekend out in Phoenix (not Joaquin, Arizona). Can anyone figure out why the dunk contest kind of sucked? For those of you who saw it: Dwight Howard dunked on a 12 foot hoop, casually, with two hands. Ummmmmm, what? Why didn't Dwight Howard just dunk on a 14-foot hoop instead of trying to foul line it for his finale? People keep doing this every year and fail to realize Dr. J and Michael Jordan did it a quarter of a century ago. Oh well, Nate Robinson, aka 50 cent's little brother, deserved it this year.
The REAL story behind the festivities was the commercial that absolutely killed us during the actual game on Sunday night. The advertisement was for Gatorade, titled "The Quest for G".
Yes, that is our poster child, KG leading a group consisting of:
1. Kevin Garnett
2. Derek Jeter
3. Jimmie Johnson
4. Usain Bolt
4. Misty May and Keri Walsh
5. Alicia Sacramone
6. Bolt's pet Ego
Ridiculous. That's a lot of Olympic medals. We especially love the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar cameo, the JabbaWockeez, as well as Michael Jordan's godlike voice at the very end.
For all of you nerds out there, including us, we obviously got the main reference right away. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of viewing any movies or tv shows of Monty Python's Flying Circus, here is a clip from the movie this whole thing is based off of:
True Story.

How could mention a half court dunk without mentioning this?

Exactly, that was even played out in 1996, which was 13 years ago. The only reason that's cool is because he's whiter than we are.
