NBA = 'Big', de 'Making of' en een clip...

Het 'Thema' van de NBA dit seizoen is": 'Big'.
En veel spotjes die de NBA promoten dragen dus die titel.
Hoe wordt zo'n spotje eigenlijk gemaakt? En welke gedachten zitten er achter?
Spike Lee, een kleine man (in lengte dan) maar grote film-regiseur, vertelt wat er achter zijn spotje schuilgaat, Earvin 'Magic' Johnson (de grootste PG ooit, en een van de allerbesten ooit), Steve Nash en Chris Paul, doen ook mee...

Het spotje zelf:

Spike Lee makes Clippers’ Paul disappear in new NBA ad

The NBA has entered the post-Christmas ad cycle with a strong first effort thanks to director Spike Lee, who makes Clippers point guard Chris Paul disappear in a new spot dubbed “Unbelievable is BIG.”
The 30-second ad features Lakers legend Magic Johnson, Lakers guard Steve Nash and Paul seated at a diner’s booth watching a game between the Clippers and the Grizzlies on television. The visual cuts between the point guard trio and the game action, which is narrated by Clippers television broadcasters Ralph Lawler and Michael Smith. Paul transports back and forth between the table and the game in rhythm with his fakes on the court.
“Chris Paul is on their side,” the voice-over begins as Paul darts on the perimeter, before disappearing in a poof. “Where did he go?”
Paul reappears on a different portion of the court as the voice-over announces: “Unbelievable. He’s in the right place all the time.”
He then transports back to the restaurant, where Johnson asks: “Shouldn’t you be headed to the hoop?”
Paul disappears one final time and returns to the game, finishing a basket at the rim. “He made that all by himself out of nothing,” the broadcast team explains. Lawler concludes with one of his catch phrases: “Oh me, oh my.”
The spot is Ben Golliverpaced well and it arrives at the perfect time: Johnson said recently that Paul’s Clippers are the modern Showtime. Paul’s skills on the ball deserve a little love from the league. He’s led the Clippers to a 27-8 start and has emerged as a top-five MVP candidate, averaging 17.0 points, 9.3 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 steals while shooting 48.0 percent from the field.
Lee was in front of the camera for one of the NBA’s Christmas spots titled, “Royalty is BIG,” in which he talked up the greatness of former Knicks forward Bernard King. Another recent NBA ad starred Thunder forward Kevin Durant and his mother, Wanda Pratt.

Goed spelen...naar toch verlies voor de LA Lakers

Hieronder het postgame interview met Kobe na 'the L' vs. Denver Nuggets.

En hoe ging die wedstrijd dan?
Nou..:
- Nash had 13 Asssists
- Kobe scoorde er 29 (en 18 (van de 22) in Q4)!
- Howard had 23 Rebounds,
een aardig rijtje dus, maar toch...WEER verloren...
De samenvatting:


Steve Nash kwam op 10.000 Carreer Assists, en daarmee de 4e plaats aller tijden.
Interessante vraag: welke spelers profiteerden het meest van Mr. Dish?

Who has Steve Nash assisted most?

January, 9, 2013

Ten thousand assists, the milestone Steve Nash reached on Tuesday night, is a lot of passes. It also means a lot of players on the receiving end of those assists. SBNation.com's Seth Rosenthal joked about the extensive group, but thanks to the wonder that is NBA StatsCube, Tom Haberstroh was actually able to compile the full list of all 124 players Nash has assisted among his 10,005 (and counting) career assists.

You can check out a visual of Nash's most frequent targets below, but here are some highlights:

• The player on the other end of the most Nash assists was, naturally, former pick-and-roll partner Amar'e Stoudemire, the only player to top 1,000 assists (1,155). That means Nash has more assists just to Stoudemire than his replacement in Phoenix, Goran Dragic, has in his entire career (1,124).
• Nash might still be most connected to Dirk Nowitzki (797), who checks in third after Shawn Marion (823). But because Nowitzki has the ability to create his own shot, he never got 200 assists from Nash in a single season, a mark Marcin Gortat reached last season despite the lockout-shortened season.
• The most amusing group might be the 10 players Nash assisted precisely once. It includes not only Dennis Rodman, during Rodman's short-lived stint with the Dallas Mavericks in 1999-00, but also Sam Cassell (who played 22 games in Phoenix before being dealt to Dallas as part of the package for Jason Kidd) and former Dallas and Brooklyn head coach Avery Johnson.
• Naturally, the list also includes one mayor (Kevin Johnson, six; not Fred Hoiberg).
• Lakers forward Antawn Jamison wins the award for longest period between Nash assists. He got 107 as a member of the Mavericks in 2002-03, plus two so far this season with the Los Angeles Lakers.
• Nash has assisted 27 All-Stars: Cassell, Jamison, Johnson, Kidd, Marion, Nowitzki, Rodman, Stoudemire, Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Michael Finley, Pau Gasol, Tim Hardaway, Grant Hill, Dwight Howard, Josh Howard, Juwan Howard, Joe Johnson, Christian Laettner, Danny Manning, Antonio McDyess, Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Redd, Clifford Robinson, Nick Van Exel, Antoine Walker and Metta World Peace.

De NBA komt langzaam op gang...twee interessante teams...

want iedereen kijkt natuurlijk dit seizoen naar The Los Angeles Lakers, wat betreft 'Superstar Cast' een van de beste teams ooit (met Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard en Ron artest aka Metta World Peace), maar in onderstaande oefenwedstrijd werden de Lakers afgeslacht door The Utah Jazz (wat trouwens op zichzelf nog niet zoveel zegt...). Maar ga er maar vanuit dat ook The Jazz, dit seizoen of later, ook een mooie ploeg zijn/worden! Al was het maar omdat Enes Kanter eindelijk weer eens aan een seizoen begint nadat hij een vol seizoen gespeeld heeft op hoog niveau! We zullen zien...
