Eerily Fascinating: Video Shows Kobe Bryant and Micheal Jordan Similarities

Okay, this is incredibly cool, but really creepy at the same time.

Someone took the time to comb through and compare highlights of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant and edit them together.

That editor found that the similarities between the two was to say the least startling....

And quite honestly, we find it amazing. But it really does explain several things. If you are of a certain age and loved basketball like Kobe does, you probably modeled a lot of the things you did after the G.O.A.T...

This video proves it--

Brian Scalabrine: NBA Player and Comedy Genius

Look Familiar

((ht: csnne.com))

This folks, is one of the best pieces of Sports satire we may ever have read.

Brian Scalabrine, career 12th man for numerous NBA teams is returning to one of the teams he played for in years gone by: The Boston Celtics. Only this time it's as a broadcaster.

Ever the comedian and good-natured guy, Scalabrine decided to sit down with a writer--(ok, himself) and write a letter to the good people of Boston to explain his decision to come "home"....

Quoth the Scalabrine:

"I've learned a great deal in my time spent with four franchises...actually five if you count my stint in Italy because of the lockout. What was the purpose of the lockout again? I will always think of Chicago as my third home and Oakland probably as my fourth home...but not like downtown Oakland, more like the suburbs"

And yes, if you read the letter, which is too lengthy to post in it's entirety, you'll understand exactly who he is spoofing.

The "White Mamba" comes home--courtesy CSNNew England is RIGHT HERE\

Yes, he did...

We have nothing but respect for guys like this. Guys who are thankful for the opportunity to live out a dream and self-aware enough to have fun with it.

Can't wait to hear him call a game...

Check out the "Scallenge" a segment from a couple years ago when the "Mamba" took on the challenge of some smack talking fans:

Your Late Night Outburst Not Safe For Live TV

((HT: CSN California))

It was a long night for the Chicago Bulls in their 29-point loss to the Sacramento Kings last night as they got run over at Sleep Train Arena...

But, it wasn't as quite a long evening for Joakim Noah as he grew more and more disenchanted with the officiating...

See, he didn't make it to the end...


But, he did make an apology later after the game...
So, there's that then... and all is okay...

NBA ICYMI: Noah, Perkins Disagree On Locker Rooms

((HT: ESPN))

The Oklahoma City Thunder are out of the blocks on fi-yah...

Winning 13 in a row to start the season matching the mark of their predecessors, the Seattle SuperSonics...

They just need a third scorer and they'll compete in the West for the conference title...

Any-hoo...

The Thunder knocked off the Chicago Bulls last night 107-95 and Thabo Sefolosha brought Joakim Noah back to the Thunder locker room since they're close friends...

Kendrick Perkins saw this as an opportunity to get into a shouting match with Noah in the room...

Scottie Pippen Questioned After Allegedly Decking Autograph Seeker (Update)

((ht: tmz.com))

--Update at bottom of story--

So there's this. NBA legend and former Chicago Bull, Scottie Pippen spent part of his Monday in a Malibu, California police station answering questions over an altercation with an alleged autograph seeker.

According to TMZ.com, Pippen got in a confrontation with a man who asked him for an autograph. The report says Pippen punched the guy in the face, then repeatedly kicked him, knocking the guy cold.

But Malibu police did not arrest Pippen on the scene.

The report says Pippen was named a "Suspect" in a felony assault among other things. You'd think that if anyone saw what happened that would be enough, but we could be wrong.

Read the TMZ report from Monday afternoon RIGHT HERE

So...if Pippen didn't beat the crap out of the guy who did? Has anyone else been named a suspect? If not, then why is Pippen only a "Suspect"? Yet the LA County PD says that Pippen was involved in the altercation...hmmm...

All legitimate questions, but unfortunately, the primary reporting source on the story is TMZ, whom we wonder if they posed said questions.

Update 6:45pm est--According to the Chicago Tribune, LA County Police say Pippen has been very cooperative and is not being charged because "There's more here than meets the eye"

That would lead one to believe that Pippen would have been defending himself. Though many questions remain to be answered.

((HT: CSNChicago))

No, it wasn't on the air, silly...

If was off the air after Gill got into a rather-heated discussion with B1G Ten Network analyst Tim Doyle over the following observation from last night's Bulls-Nuggets game...


Doyle and Gill went up against a wall and drew blood in front of Chicago Business Report reporter Danny Ecker- who was an eyewitness and wrote all about it.

Gill has been temporarily removed from the show, "Sports Talk Live," until everything is examined in due course.

"We're looking further into the incident that took place in our newsroom earlier today," said CSN Chicago news director Kevin Cross in a statement. "Until the investigation is complete, Kendall Gill will not be appearing on our air."

DEVELOPING: Derrick Rose Done For Season

Rose to Miss Rest of Season with Torn ACL: MyFoxCHICAGO.com

Yes, Will Ferrell introduced the Chicago Bulls last night

He was there, supposedly, to introduce the Chicago Bulls. And the game was promoted as 80's night.

Last nights Chicago Bulls at New Orleans Hornets game featured a "Guest" P.A announcer....comedian Will Ferrell.

Ferrell known for some great comedy movies and some "duds"...stepped out to center court and let the crowd in New Orleans know who was playing.

In the case of the Hornets, it was kind of needed.

Anyway, here's your video: (thanks CSN Chicago)
