Kwame Brown posterises Andres Nocioni

By Mookie on | From asternwarning.com

Given that we don't have any real NBA games in progress right now, I thought I'd post a video of a surreal NBA moment.

Check this 2006 footage out as Kwame Brown (Los Angeles Lakers) not only catches the basketball on the break, but also manages to slam it down successfully, all over Andres Nocioni (Chicago Bulls). In addition to these unusual facts, the following is notable:

Kobe passed the ball to a teammate -- he didn't do much of that in 2006.
Is there really reason for a charge call here, or is this a matter of the NBA officials trying to give an advantage to the exciting play? Yes, Nocioni was standing in the "no charge" semi-circle, but he did not move, consequently, I'd call this a no-call more than anything else.

Watching Kwame in action also led me to ask the question: Is Kwame Brown the least talented #1 Draft Pick in NBA history? Take note, I'm not asking if he is the most disappointing (before you jump in and blurt Greg Oden's name), but just whether he is the least talented. I think it's fair to say that Michael Olowokandi is in with a chance in this race, though his best season (2002/03 Clippers: 12.3ppg, 9.1rpg, 2.2bpg) was far better than anything that Kwame has produced.
