LeBron Almost Half Of Miami Offense

((HT: Sun Sports))

But, they were playing Charlotte...

Here's the effort that was one point short of Carmelo Anthony's season-high of 62


James made 22 of 33 shots from the floor- including his first eight 3-point attempts.
His career best was 56 points back in 2005 for Cleveland against Toronto.

Glen Rice scored 56 to set the Heat record on April 15, 1995, against Orlando, so the Heat record held for almost 19 years...

James had 24 points at halftime then added just as many (well, really 25) in the third quarter...

Carmelo Goes For 62 At MSG

((HT: MSG/NBA))

Carmelo Anthony had a bit of a busy night...

37 in the first half...that ended this way...


And ended this way...


62 points for a record at MSG beating Kobe Bryant and Bernard King...
Well, actually... it ended this way... postgame interviews are like that...


As his 62 was half of the Knicks output in a 125-96 win over Charlotte...
Anthony was the only Knick to shoot attempts in double figures in both field goals and free throws... as a matter of fact, JR Smith was the only other Knick to shoot a free throw...

Just one...

Johnny Manziel Shows Limited Basketball Skills

Uh, yeah, so....um....Texas A&M football quarterback Johnny Manziel, (aka Johnny Football), well, he's back in the offseason spotlight. And at least this time it's kind of funny.

Manziel found himself at Saturday night's Atlanta Hawks vs. Charlotte Bobcats game in Philips Arena in downtown Atlanta.

((note---He's in the ATL preparing to lead his Aggies vs. the Duke Blue Devils in the Chick Fil A Bowl game Tuesday night))

And as what seems to be his (Manziel's) norm, he got a lot of attention.

So much so that he got called out of the crowd and was asked to take part in a "Skills" competition. Which is when THIS happened....

Ooops....(thanks for sharing ESPN)

Charlotte Bobcat Fans Not Happy With Cody Zeller Pick

[HT: Charlotte Observer and sportsgrid.com)

This was the reaction of Charlotte Bobcat fans when Cody Zeller was announced as the teams first round pick.



It wasn't a particularly popular pick to Charlotte Observer columnist Tom Sorensen.

Sorensen writes: But is this what they need? My column is not long enough, this sports section not large enough and my fingers not agile enough to list all that the Bobcats need.
They especially need a big man who imposes himself on a defense. Zeller, 20, was not that guy at Indiana. He was not so tough in the tough Big Ten last season. He was not so tough in Indiana’s meek NCAA tournament loss to Syracuse.

Zeller was projected as a 7-12 pick in the numerous mock drafts.  The Bobcats had a different take selecting the former Indiana Hooiser at #4.

General manager Rich Cho is in full spin mode to the Bobcat fan base.

“The fans are going to love this guy." Cho said.  "He’s a worker. You’ll see why we chose Cody as the fourth pick.”

Bobcats president of basketball operations Rod Higgins added; "“I want to ask them to give Cody an opportunity to show he’s a very good player. To give the Bobcats a chance to help him be a great player. We’re very excited.”

Welcome Back The Charlotte Hornets

According to CBS Sports, it looks like the team that was in existence in name from 1988 to 2002 will be returning to the front of jerseys in the Queen City after all...

The HQ guesses you could call it "bringing Hugo back..."

It was something that the team had considered thinking about...

In an interview with the The Charlotte Observer back in November, current Bobcats-soon-to-be-Hornets major domo Michael Jordan said he was open to the idea of reclaiming the Hornets surname for the team in his town.

"It's definitely an interest down the road, but right now it's the New Orleans Hornets," Jordan told the Observer. "We would definitely entertain the opportunity. That's as much as we can say right now. We've heard the community ask the question, and we would listen."

It also would be important for a bad team to try and find ways to reach out to the community... and this isn't a bad way to start...
Like the fans hadn't already thought about it...

The process should take about 18 months...
