Yahoo Sports is reporting the New Orleans Hornets will be changing their name to the Pelicans potentially as early as the 2013-14 season.  Not sure if this a real thing.  Here's a link to ESPN where they are talking about it.

The Timberwolves have put together a smooth jazz promo video for Kevin Love's Coat Drive featuring Love on the tenor sax.  Mmm, so smooth.

This is bizarre and awesome, and I highly recommend you check it out.  It's best coat drive promo video I have ever seen.

Here's a new track from the OKC's Kevin Durant.  I've never heard his stuff before, and I think this is somewhat different that I would expect from him.  Have a listen.

There's a new Foot Locker ad featuring the Cavs' Kyrie Irving out today.  Kyrie goes up for the iconic slo-mo free throw line dunk, gets stuck in the air, and has to find ways to pass the time.

Worth a viewing.

Dwight Howard talks about the Lakers first win of the season after starting 0-3 (0-11 including preseason).  It came against the now 0-3 Detroit Pistons, but a win is a win.

Sam Laird over at Mashable posts about the Pepsi Max videos starring Kyrie Irving as the elderly baller - Uncle Drew.  Definitely an interesting read.  Check out the video too, featuring Kevin Love as Wes and Bill Russell as himself.

"What these young bloods have to understand that this game, has always been, and will always be... about buckets."

-- Bill Russell

Nike Basketball has released a promo video of the new Kevin Durant shoe - the KD V.  According to Nike, the 5 represents the five players on the court, five sides of the nations's pentagon, five corners of a star and what it means to be #35.

My buddy Michele forwards this clip of 1993 Rockets-Sonics Game 7, when inexplicably, a sixth Rockets player joins the play with just seconds left in the game.  

The player, Winston Garland, comes off the Rockets bench and stands open in the corner and briefly moves in for a rebound before catching himself and moving back out of bounds.  Worth a viewing.

The guys at POINT 3 Basketball have been putting together training tips and exercises in videos for ballers to check out.  They have everything from strength and conditioning drills to tips on creating space for your jumper.  

Browse through their Alpha Training Videos.  You may learn something to improve your game.

If you haven't already seen the block and dunk by the Jazz' Jeremy Evans on the Clippers' Ronny Turiaf, it's definitely worth checking out.  Certainly it's the most exciting play of the preseason. :)

A new version of InfiniteHoops on iPhone is available.  This release adds support for the larger screen on the iPhone 5, and it has the ability to add NBA team schedules to your calendar as an In-App purchase.

More stuff is coming.  Download today.

In case all you InfiniteHoops fans want to know how I rolled my ankle last week... it was basically doing stuff like this.

Worth checking out.

"Looking for a pick-up basketball game? InfiniteHoops notifies you when a pickup game is nearby and then displays that game’s location on a map. Tapping on a particular game can allow you to mark yourself “in” or “out” for the game, or even trash talk with potential upcoming opponents."
