Like the professional sports world and the majority of the working world, The Basketball Jesus Rankings took Monday off to observe Presidents Day. To pay homage to this momentous annual occasion, after the jump we’ll take a brief intermission to highlight the basketball skillz of our current Baller-In-Chief.

No one knows who this is, but scientists are relatively certain its not Ron Jaworski
Like many of you, I enjoy sitting down to a nice relaxing half hour of video game entertainment every now and then. During a recent session, I got to thinking about which sport translates into the best video games. So, in order to have some kind of objective way to look at this, I thought I might examine each type of game through the following criteria.

I thought it would be fun to do a running blog on some thoughts and comments on the NBA’s festivities between myself and Nate. So, here we go:
Apparently the WNBA is still in business as a few of their players competed in the “Shooting Stars” event.
Is there anything uglier than Leonardo Barbosa’s halfcourt shot? It looks like a 6 year old trying to shoot on the big boy hoop.
The Skills competition does not have Chris Paul, Steve Nash, or Deron Williams but its OK because Mo Williams guaranteed a victory.

This weeks links for the pre NBA All Star Game:
This year’s All Star game features a G-E-I-C-O (H-O-R-S-E) competition where OJ Mayo, Joe Johnson and Kevin Durant will face off on an outside court in a 3 man game. While this brings a new twist to the weekend’s festivities, it still won’t top MJ and Bird.
Keeping with the old school theme, how about a lesson in life taught through dribbling a basketball.
Words cannot describe the hilarity of this picture, so I won’t try.
When the Incredible Hulk gets angry, he turns into Chuck Norris.

Dear L.A. Lakers,
You are a talented team that will undoubtedly make a deep push in the Western Conference playoffs. We however, have some advice for you during your run. Please, get a haircut. We admit that watching a 7-foot center lead a fast break is amazing, but seeing him constantly brush away his un-showered hair out of his eyes is rather annoying. Maybe if he had ears like his point guard, it may help, but i don’t see them growing to elf-like levels. We are not just talking about Pau, but also your future X-gamer Vladimir the snow-boarder, Luke and Sasha. Speaking of Sasha, tell him typically the WNBA utilizes the rubber hair bands. So to help you guys start looking like real professional NBA players, please accept the enclosed gift. We think it will help.
Sincerely,
The Big Ticket, The Truth, and The Savior – Jesus Shuttlesworth
PS. Thank Luke for supplying the ganja for our Championship after party, as everyone knows, his stash is the stickiest.
*editors note: This was written before Vlad was traded, but since Adam Morrison seems familiar with the Flowbee maybe he can help the rest of the team.
Well Congressman, if you are that angry at Citibank, I am going to have to ask you to not read the material I have provided you
Yeah, yeah, I know. Baseball players are evil, shouldn’t be trusted, selfish, they steal candy from babies, kick small children, and laugh at mentally deficient animals. They all refuse to keep the Sabbath holy, yell fire in crowded movie theaters, and remove the tags from their mattresses. In fact, I have it on pretty good authority that Miguel Tejada is responsible for the peanut butter scare, Roger Clemens fastball precipitated global warming, and Barry Bonds is the smoke monster in Lost.

It doesn’t come as a shock to find out that Alex Rodriguez used steroids. I’ve come to expect such things from baseball. The entire steroid era and subsequent investigations are a joke.
I can’t take the sport and all of its characters seriously anymore. A pastime that is supposed to be as American and pure as apple pie is running its reputation into the ground.

Much discussion has been devoted to the greatest NBA shooters. But we’re going to settle it once and for all, and we’re going so far as to crown the greatest shooter in the NBA and the game of basketball.

The NBA All-Star weekend has gotten watered down over the past several years, and it’s well documented. It’s not as bad as the NHL or MLB all-star extravaganzas, but it’s close. We don’t necessarily have the best shooters in the 3-point contest. The dunk contest participants are basically a joke. The selections for the actual All-Star game aren’t really representative of the best players in the league. And the laughable Shooting Stars and Skills Challenge still exist. That itself is proof enough that the All-Star Weekend needs some help. But more than that, I want it to be an All-Star weekend from start to finish.

Another week at number one for LeBron James and another week in the second slot for Dwyane Wade. Kobe Bryant is making his push to the top, but he just can’t seem to get past Wade.
Note: Point, rebound and assist total listed next to the player.
