Ankle Insurance: Mike Conley Breaks Eric Bledsoe’s Ankles

Eric Bledsoe is normally doing the ankle-breaking, but in this case he is the victim. Take a look a Mike Conley break E-Bleds ankles in the video below. I guess he’s upset about his All-Star snub too.

It was fitting that Dirk passed Elvin on a jumper. Hayes sits at 27,313 for his career. Dirk finished with 14 points against the Lakers to move him to 27,322 total in his career. Now that’s getting buckets, sheesh!

Check out the shot that got him past Hayes.

With all the hype surrounding Lebron James’ recent feelings on his Mount Rushmore of basketball players swirling around, I figured I would take some time to marinate on the thought, and formulate what I feel is the “Rushmore” of basketball greats. Narrowing it down to just four players is so difficult, taking everything from individual stats to awards and championships to longevity into account. I decided to make it easier and do a Rushmore at every position. I’m aware people will be upset by my list but that’s life, can’t win em all. Compare your list to mine and let’s see if great minds really do think alike.
