Links: Nick And JaVale Show Episode 1, John Wall Vs. Dominican Republic

by Mike Prada on Aug 16, 2011 9:56 AM EDT in Links

Here's episode one of the Nick and JaVale Show, which consists of Nick missing a bunch of dunks. Considering the preview, this was pretty disappointing. I want more of Nick and JaVale together, dammit! [Capital Games]
More JaVale: here's him dominating one the worst pickup games YouTube will ever record. [Capital Games]
Kevin Seraphin says he has two offers to play in Spain and one to return to his old French club team. [Sportando.net]
John Wall says he is going back to school and will take classes online if the lockout ends. [AP]
An update on Jan Vesely's situation. [Michael Lee]
So Wall played in the Kentucky-Dominican game last night, finishing with 15 points, three rebounds and two assists. [AP Recap | Wall's reaction | Impressions/reactions | Photos]
Shelvin Mack apparently showed up to see Wall play. [@BUMack1]
In case you were curious about the trash talk Wall took part in during his Pro-Am game in North Carolina last week, here are subtitles with what he said. [Capital Games]
This was a pretty good look at how Wall's season stacks up against other recent point guards. [Alone in the Green Room, who also did this Nick Young/Jordan Crawford post]
ESPN, for some reason, is ranking the NBA players from 500-1. Such a ridiculous exercise, but whatever, it's their right. Six Wizards or former Wizards come in between 401-500: Lester Hudson (496), Hamady Ndiaye (486), Larry Owens (482), Shelvin Mack (469), Othyus Jeffers (450) and Kevin Seraphin (435).
Wall was 42nd on CBS' Top 100 list. [Eye on Basketball]
Really good story on former Bullet Larry Stewart from the team website. [Wizards.com]
Alyssa Milano is modeling for the Wizards team store. [Truth About It]
TOMZILLA on the split within the owners' group during the lockout. [SB Nation]
This is amazingly stupid on the part of the Chinese Basketball Association. So you're going to turn down all these great NBA players unless they play a whole season in your league when European teams are letting them play for them? Good plan, guys. [Woj]
Hell yes: LeBron James getting the ball stolen, then being dunked on. [YouTube]

Nick Young seems like a genuinely nice guy, but it would suck to have to play pick up basketball with him

Not because of him not passing or anything, but just because of how easily he can probably dominate people one on one and two on two. The guy he dunked on really stood no chance against him whatsoever.

Mike: re: Nick/Javale Show

You may want to update the link because at the end of the video it still says “Coming Soon”.

Anyone else try to read the whole thread

raises hand I tried… until I got to this:

We would be blowing teams away if he could just maintain a strong protected dribble instead of always leaving his feet when he gets in the lane. most of the times, he throws bad passes because his handle is just so weak.

And came to the conclusion that this guy is delusional. He even mentions a game I was at (New Years day) saying that the reason we loss was John Wall’s dribble. Trust me, that wasn’t the reason we lost…

I think he’s found something wrong with Wall’s game and focused so intensely on it he is convinced that it is the reason we were losing games… I guess in all that time of staring at Wall’s dribble, he forgot to watch our defense and Blatche’s offense…

That Lebron clip is GOLDEN

It must be really hard to be a Lebron fan these days. SO MUCH to rub in their faces!

Ohhh my God.

Where is my FACE? I CANT FEEL MY FACE!!!

LeBron wasn't posterized but I don't care

I’m still laughing!

it was enough

He didn’t get dunked on, but he got robbed by a Chinese amateur and then couldn’t stop him with one of those trademarked chasedown blocks. And then the guy scored on him again. Awesomeness.

I'm a Wizards fan. We've been trying to tell you about Lebron for years. Hated the man before it was cool.
