Starting November 1st, NBA’s The Association (think Hardknocks for basketball) will follow the Brooklyn Nets as they try to bring a winning season to their new hometown. There is much anticipation for the Net’s debut season in Brooklyn partly due to Jay-Z’s excellent branding. Even though Jay-Z owns less than 1% of the organization, he is doing … Continue reading
If you’ve clicked this I’m sure you’ve seen John Clayton’s commercial on ESPN, and lucky for us it comes with a blooper reel. Check it out.
Apparently former Celtic legend Brian Scalabrine has turned down an assistant coaching job with the Bulls to work for Comcast New England. Scalabrine will reportedly be the color commentator on some Celtics broadcasts, while doing some on set analysis as well. As hard as it is to believe Scal received “zero” NBA interest from teams … Continue reading
We kind of have some new found respect for Coach Miles here. TheAudioDope loves a good movie quote, and here we have LSU head football coach Les Miles quoting an all time favorite of ours. Coach Miles is referring to LSU’s running back tandem of Alfred Blue and Kenny Hilliard with his “shake and bake” … Continue reading
U.S. olympic track athlete Nick Symmonds did what all men wish they could: exercised while chugging beer. This dude is an animal. In 5 minutes 15 seconds he ran a mile while stopping every quarter mile to chug a beer. Regardless of whether he’s an olympic athlete or not, the most impressive part of this … Continue reading
Saw this last week or something. What a charitable man Kobe Bryant is. He wins gold in London, and moves on to the next one. In this case, its a charity basketball game in China. It basically looks like he’s playing against middle school children, but he puts in 68 points nonetheless. Clearly he’s there … Continue reading
TheAudioDope posted a Foot Locker commercial earlier today that features OKC Thunder teammates James Harden and Russell Westbrook, and now we have one featuring Carmelo Anthony of the NY Knicks. Similar to Nike’s ad campaign with Lebron James and “The Lebrons”, Foot Locker brings us “The Melo’s”. Check it out.
Fresh off their Gold Medal performance with Team USAB at the London Olympics, Russ Westbrook and James Harden of the OKC Thunder are staying in the spotlight. Love these two guys both as players and individuals, so it’s nice to see them getting some endorsement deals. Also nice to see Harden’s famed beard play a … Continue reading
Barbosa looks like Deron Williams here. Get this guy on an NBA roster. Valiant effort by Andres Nocioni. Andres, you almost had him…
Russell Westbrook’s dunk here speaks for itself, but check out Durant after. Seriously dude, have more swag.
While Ryan Lochte may not have out-shined Michael Phelps at the 2012 London Summer Games, he definitely left us with a classic memory The Audio Dope will remember forever. Unfortunately for Lochte, it’s the video below. A dear friend of The Audio Dope (shouts to Lucks) showed us this video of Ryan Lochte interviews and … Continue reading
San Antonio Spurs’ guard Manu Ginobili, currently representing Argentina in the Olympics, was filming a Gillette commercial when he hit this shot. It’s pretty impressive that he’s sitting down the whole time, and I’ve seen a shot similar to this before, but never off the bounce. Check it out.
S/o to my roommate Brandon for bringing this video to my attention. It highlights the 10 best dunks from the NBA’s summer league, and although these games are virtually meaningless there are some monster jams worth checking out. Featured at number 1 is a dunk TheAudioDope posted on here a couple weeks back, where former … Continue reading
If you had no context here you’d think the parents are playing an intense game of Mario Kart. I get that their baby is in the Olympics and it’s probably their proudest moment as overbearing parents, but come on.
By adding Executive Producer of a video game to his list of credentials, Jay once again proves that he can do whatever he wants. HOV’s Just Blaze-produced Public Service Announcement serves as the music for the trailer.
