Sorry Samit, had to.

Hey, at least I’m a true Yankee fan.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: John Wall’s bounce pass alley-oop to Blake Griffin. No big deal.

(via @jose3030)

Wow.

This video has everything you could possibly want.

Two beautiful John Wall passes

One crazy dunk by Blake Griffin

Zero fucks given by Demarcus Cousins

I watched the first 6 seconds of this video probably 30 times. That was pretty ridiculous.

Uh-mazing.

Del turned me on to this guy Blake Griffin. I mean I don’t follow basketball, but I sure do enjoy a good Top 10. I also enjoy the idea of someone taking down Labron and the Heatles

Good. God.

Jaw. Floor.

“I heard about LeBron James’ little tweet…He’s making a list of people that said something bad about him. Well, I want to make sure my name is on that list, because I thought that little one-hour special was a punk move. I thought them dancing on stage was a punk move…Him joining Dwayne Wade’s team was disappointing to me…If he wants to take that as criticism, so be it. He know where I be. I’m easy to find. I’m on TV every week.”

I’ve been on Team Charles since Charles was a thing and I’ll never not love this man.

Charles Barkley is a national treasure.

EA Sports NBA Jam debut trailer

When I saw the telltale white flash of a loose ball, I giggled like, well, 8-year-old me. The same thing happened when I saw somersaulting dunks. Oh yes.

Not digging the wannabe-Tim-Kitzrow announcer, though.

“
Kobe said that after the Lakers lost game six of the ‘08 NBA Finals in Boston by 39 points, he was alone in the shower, just fuming. He heard somebody walk in and assumed it was one of his teammates, or maybe a staff member. Instead, he looked up, and it was Ron Artest (to this day, Kobe has no idea how Artest got into the locker room).

“I want to come help you,” Artest said. “If I can, I’m going to find a way to come to LA and give you the help you need to win a title.”
”

From: excerpted from John Ireland’s July 2, 2009 blog post titled “Ron Artest to the Lakers?.” (via ncroal) Whaaaaat?!

Big news: Shaquille O’Neal has been traded from the Suns to Cleveland Cavaliers. And he apparently found out about it on Twitter. Here’s the thread, as far as I can piece it together:

*Not in response to a Cleveland tweet, but indicative perhaps of why he heard via Twitter and not, say, ESPN

**Not in response to anyone on Twitter. Presumably it’s that Kareem (you know, the one in Airplane).

I’m Samit Sarkar, an Associate Editor at Destructoid.com. It’s pretty much the greatest job in the world, though the common misconception is that I simply get to play video games all day. It doesn’t quite work that way — but it’s still awesome. (If you want to check out all the posts I’ve written, head here.)

I’m a stickler for proper English — grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. — so if you see any mistakes in my writing, let me know. And if you see mistakes elsewhere, let me know, because I’ll want to point them out here and laugh (à la English Fail Blog). I might even put some on The Grammar Nazi, a Tumblr that I contribute to.

You can contact me at samit [dot] sarkar [at] gmail [dot] com for personal stuff, at samit [at] destructoid [dot] com for Destructoid-related inquiries, or on Twitter (see below). I’m also on Facebook.

Oh, in case you’re wondering, I’m 25 and I live in Long Island. But it’s so much easier to just say New York — I’m only an hour east of Manhattan.

Also, I am a HUGE fan of the 27-time World Champion New York Yankees.
