Busboy Beats NBA Stars At Pop-A-Shot

Jimmy Kimmel has discovered a busboy with an amazing talent. Ricardo, employed at the poplar eatery 'Barney's Beanery', is the master of 'Pop-A-Shot'.... During the NBA playoffs, Jimmy Kimmel has had Ricardo compete and demolish the BIGGEST STARS in the NBA.... LeBron James, Charles Barkley, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom and Carmelo Anthony.... All of them crushed by the 'Pop-A-Shot' skills of Ricardo the Busboy.

After destroying Carmelo Anthony rather handily at a game of 'Pop-A-Shot' after Game 6 of the NBA Finals, Ricardo was led out of the 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' studios and presented with his brand new 2011 Ford Mustang!

Enjoy Game 7 of the NBA Finals tonight! Either the Lakers or the Celtics will be the NBA Champions tonight!

Here we go again.... In keeping with today's basketball theme, Nike has unloaded a few more of those MVPuppets commercials upon us.... So, to keep the tradition.... Enjoy 'Puppets Selling Shoes'.... On a positive note, David Alan Grier provides the voice for the Kobe Bryant puppet, and he is ALWAYS funny!

I'm not quite sure where Nike plans to go with these MVPuppets commercials, but you've seen all of the other MVPuppets videos here..... Why not keep the tradition going.....

I understand the Kobe and LeBron relationship. Two of the best players in the NBA, both very popular and both polarizing figures.... The Kobe and LeBron puppet commercials are pretty funny, and I know you've been dying to find out who took LeBron's new shoes....

I'm not sure if I understand Nike's intentions with the Santa and Blitzen puppet commercials (Yes, I realize I'm a little late to the game with the Santa commercials).... I think someone had some extra puppet making material that he didn't know what to do with.... Who came up with the idea to make a menacing Santa and reindeer who want to throw down on the basketball court?

They're back! The Kobe Bryant and LeBron James MVPuppets are back in two new commercials, including a multi-part cliffhanger that will be continued in future commercials.... The new commercials aren't as funny as last year's batch of MVPuppets commercials with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, and they seem to be geared more toward product placement than promoting the rivalry between the two superstars. Even so, they're worth watching....

The Los Angeles Lakers championship parade is today. So you know what that means.... More of the puppet commercials.

Here's the thing.... I appreciate Kobe and LeBron, their talents and their athleticism. I'm not typically in awe of someone's physical abilities, but a couple of years ago I was listening to a Kobe Bryant interview, and a reporter asked Kobe about a play in the game where he jumped into the air with the ball in one hand, did a 180 degree turn, put the ball in his other hand, and then slam dunked the basketball. Kobe replied with, 'Well, I saw the defender, and I made the decision to switch hands and dunk the ball on the other side so there was no chance it could be blocked.' Of course I paraphrased that, but I just jumped in my office and I was barely able to think about landing on two feet. So, I'm just saying, don't go with him if he tells you that he wants to show you his trophy in his hotel room, but at least get him to sign a coffee cup.

The Lakers have done it.... They're champions.... There are more commercials.... Let all Southern California residents loot and riot!

I was going to wait until Monday to post this, but nothing is sacred anymore.... Ha ha ha! Anyway, here's what I hope will be the last of Nike's Kobe and LeBron commercials.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! You missed the finals!

MVPuppets 4

The NBA finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Orlando Magic start tonight, so I thought I'd go ahead and post the final two Kobe and LeBron puppet commercials. I call them the 'last' two commercials because the Cleveland Cavaliers have lost their playoff series to the Orlando Magic, so I don't think there's any reason for Kobe Bryant and LeBron James to live together anymore. And I haven't seen a Dwight Howard puppet yet.

On one fun note, I did find out that the David Alan Grier provides the voice for the Kobe puppet, and 'Saturday Night Live' actor Kenan Thompson provides the voice for the LeBron puppet.

NBA executives are praying to the basketball gods for a Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers match-up in the NBA Finals. The most marketable thing ever on this planet is a Kobe Bryant v. LeBron James finals.

Anyway, I just found another one of those Kobe and LeBron commercials. It's super short, watch it....

What? A Saturday post? Crazy right?

Anyway, I just found another one of those Kobe and LeBron commercials. Here it is for your viewing pleasure.

A match up in the NBA Finals between two of the greatest players in the history of the sport (Kobe Bryant and LeBron James) seems to be inevitable.

Nike has put together a few videos with Kobe and LeBron puppets... They're hilarious! Here they are.... In the "Chalk" commercial, it looks like Kobe and LeBron live in a house filled with mountains of cocaine.
