The NBA's “Opening Night” was Tuesday night, but the Association didn't truly return until Wednesday. With 11 games on the schedule, social media was an absolute highlight-fest. Kyrie Irving dropped 50, Ben Simmons had 25, 9 and 8 in a dominant win over the Celtics, Luka Doncic had 34 points and even the Knicks looked promising, albeit in a loss. At times, the excitement was too much to handle for NBA Twitter.
Nobody was more excited than Portland Trail Blazers play-by-play man Kevin Calabro, who brought his fastball from opening tip to the final whistle. His best moment came in the first quarter, when Portland point guard Damian Lillard spun off a Denver Nuggets defender, drove to the basket and threw down a ferocious dunk. Calabro went full Gus Johnson:

What a play. What a call. What a sport! Less than 10 minutes into Game 1 of 82, Calabro is bringing straight HEAT. Save some for the rest of the season my guy!

To those who think they've seen it all when it comes to dunking, you probably haven't seen Isaiah Rivera. The professional dunker recently wowed basketball fans around the world, not with new moves, but with a combinations of tried-and-true moves. The 360? That's so 90s. Same with the the between-the-legs and the around-the-back. But surely no one could do all three at the same time. . . right?

Wrong, obviously. Hence this post. Rivera managed to put all three together and it will blow your mind. Introducing what is possibly the greatest dunk of all time:

Absolutely ridiculous. Also, how about the fact he did it while a pickup game was going on? Hardly anybody noticed or cared Rivera had just pulled off a dunk that Dr. J in his prime couldn't have dreamed of.
Anyway, obviously, the title of greatest dunk of all time is subjective. For me, as a Knicks fan, nothing was better than Joh..

15-year-old Josh Hill becomes youngest player to win tournament sanctioned by Official World Golf Ranking

At long last, after a wild free-agent sundae topped with a geopolitical cherry bomb, the NBA is back! On Tuesday night, banners were raised, Kings fells, and bragging rights were firmly established. And no, we're not talking about Clippers-Lakers. We're talking about what happened just outside Staples Center, when the NBA on TNT crew kicked off another season of shit-talking and general absurdity by welcoming their newest co-worker Dwayne Wade to the fold. Not ones to let another human being's moment get in the way of their hot-air balloon egos, however, Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal used the appearance of Shaq's former teammate to make it all about them, reigniting their eons-old war of words in hilarious fashion. Take it away you stupid, lovable idiots.
