NBA iLIKES
OVER the past few years, teenAGE has enjoyed giving you a recap of what has been taking place around the league, so we have decided to introduce a new minifeature, the NBA iLikes. Here, we will give you, our loyal readers, a sneak peek of the plays and stories that caught our eye during the week.
5 Washington Wizards’ point guard John Wall got the better of his opposite number Goran Dragic of the Phoenix Suns as he delivered a huge block on his fast break lay-up attempt.
4 In last Friday’s encounter against the Milwaukee Bucks, LeBron James of the Heat spun between two defenders on the baseline to deliver a monster jam.
3 Brook Lopez of the Brooklyn Nets may have created some problems for his next family gettogether, after he dunked over his opponent — who just happened to be his twin — Robin Lopez of the New Orleans Hornets.
2 JR Smith of the Knicks stole the show on Thursday night against the Portland Trailblazers. After dribbling almost the length of the court, he delivered a change of pace to powerful through four Blazers for a onehanded throw down.
1 Philadelphia 76er Spencer Hawes had a huge all-around game against the Indiana Pacers last week, pulling down career-highs in rebounds and blocks with 16 and seven respectively. He also contributed on offence with 18 points and eight assists. First player to record such numbers since Hall-of-famer Hakeem Olajuwan over a decade ago.
