In case everybody didn’t catch it, Cavaliers No.1 overall pick Anthony Bennett had his first double-digit game last night. It was definitely a long time coming and as this fan hilariously points out, it was a big moment for him.

A normally cocky guy like Pistons’ Brandon Jennings doesn’t usually throw around praise like this. But after seeing Kevin Durant get the best of LeBron James in their match-up tonight, even Jennings has to pay his respect.

Highlight of the Night

So who knew the older Plumlee brother would be this good? Not only has Miles Plumlee taken over a starting job with the surprising Suns, but Plumlee also got to throw down a hard slam over Bucks’ Larry Sanders tonight. Definitely best to get out of the way Larry.

These are just Knicks’ J.R. Smith’s walking-around shoes too. Everybody would love to lace up these Jordans for just a game to show off.

As Superbowl weekend nears closer, lets all take a look back and remember that one of the most exciting NBA players of all time in Allen Iverson was once one of the most exciting on the gridiron as well. Check out Iverson as he dazzles even his opponents playing football back in high school.

Since we’re on the topic of Iverson, do you know he has a cousin that can ball too? While only playing limited minutes at Memphis as a freshman, this high school highlight mix shows that Kuran Iverson has loads of potential and athleticism that his cousin Allen once had. It doesn’t hurt being 6’10” either. Keep an eye out for Allen’s little cousin going forward.
