Michael Jordan vs. Kobe Bryant 1-one-1: Student vs. Teacher

Nice video collection of epic 1-on-1 battles between Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. MJ schools Kobe like a schoolboy in most scenes. teaching him some rare cross-overs, his famous fadeaway jumper and numerous fakes. However, Kobe got better over time. The epic 1998 NBA All Star Game was one of the highlights of their battle and it's also featured in this great collection of Kobe vs. Jordan matches.

Classic.

Next Big Thing in Basketball? - Top Talent Aquille Carr

High-school Point Guard Aquille Carr (Patterson High School) is definitely one of the top talents in US high-school basketball.

The 5 ft 6 player (or "somewhat generously listed at 5 feet 7, in sneakers, including his hair" Washington Post) is incredibly quick, has really excellent ball-handling skills (Steve Nash-like) and the athleticism to dunk despite his height.

In April 2011, Aquille Carr played on the U.S. junior basketball team in the Junior International Tournament in Italy, Europe. He led the team to capture the gold medal and averaged 40.0 points per game.

Watch the two basketball videos - Aquille Carr is top talent and a must-see phenomenon.

When old "Uncle Drew" is entering this basketball court in New Jersey, the other players assume they play a match against an old man - turns out he has rookie of the year skills: NBA rookie of the year Kyrie Irving (Cleveland Cavaliers' Point Guard) dressed as an old man and schools and fools everybody.

Nice basketball prank.

Dunking Legend Shawn Kemp - Reign Man Videos

Shawn Kemp a.k.a. the "Reign Man" was an awesome dunk machine back in the good old 1990s.

He was the Seattle SuperSonics' 1989 1st round pick of the NBA draft and - being extremely athletic and talented - quickly proofed to be a great pic.

This is a great feature by ESPN from 1992. Great basketball reporting. Already 20 years old ...

And another Shawn Kemp video with a series of epic slam dunks.

Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game - Out of reach?

Philadelphia 76ers [Google+ profile] ask whether you think any player will ever score 100 points again?

Sixers players, Doug Collins and other coaches touched on Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game and it's place in sports history. http://on.nba.com/zxtTMd

My take:
"The Big Dipper" is out of reach.
