EPIC FAIL: Handshake

I don't know if it's prerequisite to make a handshake after a freethrow but these guys just have to overdo this gesture

At least Kevin Love has someone, check out Gary Neal's imaginary teammates...

AWARD WATCH: All-NBA Teams

We are nearing the end of the regular season, I think we should try to pick our All-NBA teams. I know there is about 10 games or more left but what the heck I'm giving out my teams. I don't know how this PER rating is but it looks as though I can based my teams  on this.

                                    1st Team                               2nd Team

PG                              Derrick Rose                             Chris Paul
SG                             Dwyane Wade                           Kobe Bryant
SF                             LeBron James                           Kevin Durant
PF                             Kevin Love                             Amar'e Stoudemire
C                               Dwight Howard                        Tim Duncan

You know what, since I'm feeling generous, I'll thrown in my All-Defense Team as well:

                                     1st Team                               

PG                              Chris Paul

SG                             Dwyane Wade                     

SF                             Ron Artest                          

PF                             Kevin Garnett                   

C                               Dwight Howard 

No Love for Double-Double

Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves moved past Moses Malone for the NBA record of consecutive double-double. Love now has 52 straight games with a double-double, surpassing Malone's 51 set in 1978-79 after the merger of NBA and ABA. But Kevin Love's feat took him only two-third of a season while the Hall-of-Famer Malone accomplished it in two seasons.

Yet people are saying his record is a fluke. I mean give the man a break for what he's done on a relatively poor team.

But that streak now is dead as K-Love ended at 53 with a loss Saturday with GSW. I guess, Wilt's record is really unbreakable.
