Kenny Rogers burns Michael Jordan - must see video

Written by Mookie Schiralli on .

This 1989 NBA All-Star Weekend footage is a beauty. Kenny "the gambler" Rogers joins Dominique Wilkins in a 3-on-3 battle against Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas. Of course MJ doesn't turn down his competitive side at all in this show game, but Kenny has some tricks too! Check it out.

No doubt, in his prime, Rogers would've been an NBA superstar. *wink* And did they have to put Rogers on the 'White' team?

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar & Big Bird teach you subtraction

Written by Mookie Schiralli on .

Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Big Bird

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (7'2") looks short next to Big Bird (8'2") -- but only one is a Hall of Fame NBA centre. That said, I think the yellow fella would be pretty good at boxing out in the post. In this video clip from Sesame Street, Kareem and BB teach you all about how subtraction works. Watch and learn.

PS No, "Big Bird" is not referring to Luke Schenscher.

Wilt and Kareem dunk all over each other [video]

Kareem v Wilt

This video is a fantastic example of how dominant Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain were as physical specimens, as they dunk all over each other in some brutal matchups. These guys would certainly make their mark in today's big man-poor NBA.

Angry Kendrick Perkins slaps Serge Ibaka upside the head

Written by Mookie Schiralli on .

Kendrick Perkins is an angry man. I don't think I've ever seen him look anything other than somewhere in the continuum between angry and stoic. Check out this slap he delivers to the head of his Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Serge Ibaka, in recognition of good work.

Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder) put down a nasty fastbreak slam dunk over Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors). This just isn't fair really -- Curry is still a minor, right?

Wilt Chamberlain rare video: amazing leaping ability

Written by Mookie Schiralli on .

Wilt Chamberlain was a remarkable athlete. I think that goes without saying. However, the thing about Wilt the Stilt coming from a bygone era is that so many of us have not watched him in action.

It's easy to dismiss his abilities as not worthy of the current era of superstar athletes. Truthfully, many NBA stars of the past would look like pansies in the modern day. 

Not so with Wilt. This guy was a phenomenal athlete, the type of which has rarely been seen for a seven-footer. 

Check out this rare video of Wilt skying approximately 13 feet in the air to erase shots, followed by footage of him doing the triple jump and high jump.

Retro NBA commercial: 1996 Dream Team Tattoos

Did you know that simply by purchasing a Jell-O cup back in 1996 you could look like a hard-hitting gangsta with your very own 1996 Dream Team tattoo? Tattoo... or applique... same thing, right? 

Either way, this is a pretty fun flashback commercial. Who is that little white guy wearing number 12, by the way?
