<p>In one of the most powerful dunks in recent NBA history Griffin took a pass off the pick-n-roll from Chris Paul and jumped higher than anyone on the court before tomahawking the ball back and bringing down the thunder on the Thunder&#8217;s center.</p>

<p>NBA star<strong> Kevin Durant</strong> found a game of flag football via Twitter on the Oklahoma State campus Monday night.</p>
<p>The <strong>Oklahoma City Thunder</strong> forward surprised many by showing up to play in the fraternity, intramural game for Sigma &#8216;Who&#8217; Nu.</p>
<p>KD and his massive wing-span naturally dominated the game.  He threw 4 touchdowns and caught 3 interceptions.</p>

<p>No one has had a better NBA Lockout than Durant. He simply gets it! He understands what it takes to be popular and to win people over to his side.  He is also young and not afraid to do the things that interest him.  He seems himself as a regular person and we all benefit from that. LeBron could learn a thing or two from KD.</p>

NBC Sports is reporting that a &#8220;drug-related assault&#8221; took place at Memphis Grizzlies&#8217; PF Zach Randolph&#8217;s home in Oregon over the weekend.

<blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px;">At 12:30 a.m. this morning, detectives with the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office’s homicide and violent crimes unit served the warrant at Randolph’s home, at 1425 SW Turner Road.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px;">Sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. James Rhodes said Randolph was home at the time police served the warrant.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px;">Rhodes said the search warrant came as part of a drug-related assault that occurred at the home early Saturday morning.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px;">A man who was at the home told police he was assaulted with a pool cue by multiple people; Randolph was at home at the time of the incident, Rhodes said, but was not a suspect in the assault.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px;">Assault by a pool cue is some Clue-like gangsta ish!</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px;"><a title="Victim James Beasley" href="http://www.nwcn.com/home/?fId=128161098&amp;fPath=/news/local&amp;fDomain=10202" target="_blank">According to NWCN.com</a> victim <strong>James Beasley </strong>told them that he went to Randolph&#8217;s house to sell marijuana.  Beasley went on to say there was a disagreement about price and that he was then beaten up by several men with (pool) cue sticks.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">Beasley, who met with KGW along with his brother, suffered a concussion in the attack.</p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">The brother of the victim, Robert, told KGW that he and his brother ware extremely &#8220;disappointed&#8221; with Randolph and felt he could have stopped the attack.</p>
<p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">&#8220;I am very, very disappointed,&#8221; said Robert. &#8220;Zach was there and should have stopped it. He could have stopped it.&#8217;</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px;"><strong>UPDATE</strong>: Beasley says in TV interview (<a href="http://www.kgw.com/video?id=128161098&amp;sec=547757" target="_blank">watch HERE</a>) that he tried to sell the weed to Z-Bo for $200.  Randolph thought the price was too high and went on to rip the weed out of Beasley&#8217;s hand.  Then Randolph&#8217;s thugs/friends roughed up Beasley and beat him with pool cues.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px;">Randolph, as stated above, is not a suspect, but with Randolph&#8217;s troubled past this has to worry you.  As a Grizzlies fan this is very bothersome considering that Randolph just signed a massive contract extension in the off-season.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px;">Randolph had his most successful season of his NBA career this past season. Some even dared to call him a superstar for his superb play during the NBA Playoffs.</p>

<p>Kobe was then mobbed on the court by fans before he took off his shoes and threw them to two lucky fans.</p>
<p>Remember back in the day when the NBA was in existence and Bryant would play in front of 20,000 people? Yeah, those were the days!</p>
<p>But who needs TNT when you have You Tube pickup game footage?</p>

<p><strong>Kevin Durant</strong> was back streetballing last night in New York City.  Earlier this week <a title="Kevin Durant Lights Up Rucker Park for 66 Points" href="http://sportscasm.com/2011/08/02/kevin-durant-lights-up-rucker-park-for-66-pointsvideo/" target="_blank">he scored 66 points at NYC&#8217;s famed Rucker Park</a>.</p>
<p>This time Durant was displaying his mad skills at Dyckman Park in Washington Heights, and KD brought Timberwolves problem child <strong>Michael Beasley</strong> with him this time.</p>
<p>Beasley is a time bomb waiting to go off during a NBA game so you can imagine it might get dicey when a whacked-out heckler started going off on him during the game last night at Dyckman.</p>
<p>So Beasley did what Beas do! Beasley yelled back, went over to him, yelled some more in his face, then shoved the heckling fan in the face (Check out the video above!).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s fun to see these NBA players in a different setting and playing these pickup games in the parks, but it won&#8217;t be long before something tragic happens to either the players or the fans.  All it takes is one thug bringing a gun into a game trying to make his name in the papers and be known as the gangsta that killed NBA star X or Y.</p>

<p><strong>ESPN</strong> NFL analyst <strong>Merril Hoge</strong> was scathing in his opinion of <strong>Denver Broncos</strong> quarterback <strong>Tim Tebow</strong> earlier tonight on ESPN.</p>
<p>Some would argue that Hoge was just doing his job while others thought he was just looking for ways to slam Tebow.</p>
<p>Merril slammed Tebow on Twitter in this fashion:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sitting watching tape off bronco offense from last year! Orton or Tebow? It&#8217;s embarrassing to think the broncos could win with tebow!!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Hoge <a title="Hoge Slams Tebow" href="http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/scoreboard" target="_blank">had the following to add about Tebow</a> on ESPN:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;He is awful as far as accuracy goes and what&#8217;s kind of even more disturbing, he&#8217;s probably worse moving and running around with the football and throwing than he is from the pocket,&#8221; Hoge said. &#8220;Can you get better there? A little bit. If everything is perfect, the pocket, your feet are good, all your fundamentals come into place, the coverage is what you want it, you can be successful. But that doesn&#8217;t happen at the National Football League. Rarely does that happen.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Tebow sarcastically thanked Hoge <a title="Tim Tebow Tweets at Merril Hoge" href="http://twitter.com/#!/TimTebow/status/98927763821563904" target="_blank">via Twitter</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hey Merril&#8230;&#8230; &#8216;ppreciate that</p></blockquote>
<p>Then unexpectedly <strong>LeBron James</strong> <a title="LeBron James Twitter Defense of LeBron James" href="http://twitter.com/#!/KingJames/status/98944377707180032" target="_blank">unleashed a series of tweets</a> in Tim&#8217;s defense:</p>
<blockquote><p>Tim Tebow will succeed in the NFL. He&#8217;s a hard worker, a student of the game, a natural born leader and most of all a WINNER! It takes time and he&#8217;ll be nice</p>
<p>Listened to Merril Hoge today on SC and he was just blasting Tebow. The man hasn&#8217;t even play a full season and its only his 2nd year in.</p>
<p>Guys get on that TV and act like they was all WORLD when they played. How bout encouraging him and wishing him the best instead of hating!!</p></blockquote>
<p>James is right though. Tim has been successful at nearly everything he has performed in life, even down to helping give circumcisms in the Phillipines while doing missionary work.</p>
<p>Tebow has just played his rookie year and showed promise over the three games he started. He also showed that he had a lot of work to do as well to complete the transition to the NFL.  It&#8217;s also hard to believe that anyone out there is outworking Tim Tebow in the offseason or in-season.</p>
<p>Nice PR move by LeBron for the deeply beloved Tebow.  But in some ways Tebow is very polarizing and might have taken the polarizing QB mantle from the on-again, off-again retired <strong>Brett Favre</strong>.</p>

<p><strong>Oklahoma City Thunder</strong> superstar <strong>Kevin Durant</strong> went bananas last night at NYC&#8217;s famed Rucker Park during a street ball game.</p>
<p>He absolutely caught fire and couldn&#8217;t miss in the 4th quarter. He was draining three after three before the crowd rushed the court when he hit the last shot of the game.</p>
<p>Durant made 9 out of 11 three pointers and five straight in the fourth quarter. His 66 points was the third most in Rucker Park history.</p>
<p>Check out the video above for a taste of just how dynamic Durant was last night at Rucker.</p>
<p>Durant scored 66 points in the game. No word yet if they were all three pointers or not! <img src='http://sportscasm.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
