‘Bow knows this, and ‘bow knows that. Ray Allen introduces his elbow to Anderson Varejao’s balls.
It takes balls to play in the NBA. Literally. (We hear women have their own league called the WNBA in which they play something approximating basketball, only it’s less exciting.) One of the greatest dangers that exists when you assemble ten behemoths brimming with testosterone to compete on the hardwood is that it will lead to testicle-traumatizing cheap shots. Boston Celtics guard Ray Allen was just suspended one game for a low ‘bow he threw at Cleveland Cavaliers forward Anderson Varejao last Sunday.
The extremely fortunate Varejao appears to have saved the lives of his unborn children by catching the elbow with his thighs—either that or his junk is made of leather and steel. Not everyone has been so fortunate. Check out Complex’s assemblage of the NBA’s most awesome, cringe-inducing low blows, and see if you can prevent your balls from retreating into your stomach…

After winning the NBA championship, Beantown is gassed.
A year ago, even haters had to begrudgingly root for the Boston Celtics. After sinking to new lows in 2006-07, honoring recently deceased coaching legend Red Auerbach with a 24-58 record and a franchise worst 18-game losing streak, the once proud Celts organization finally did something right when general manager Danny Ainge teamed Paul Pierce with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Perennial All-Stars who’d given their best years to shitty Minnesota Timberwolves and Seattle SuperSonics squads, respectively, they formed “The Big Three,” a trio of hungry aging ballers who would push their mamas down stairs to win a ring. KG, in particular, changed the culture of the team, convincing guys who’d only known losing to hustle and think of the Celts as a brotherhood (James Posey then added the awkward extended man-hug to the mix).
KG’s borderline psychotic passion and intensity rubbed off on everyone, including non-Celtic fans, who wanted to see him triumph, even if it meant spoiled Boston drunks fans getting yet another title. But now that the Celtics are defending NBA champions, it’s officially OK to hate them again. In fact, it’s the right thing to do. Read on to for five reasons that you should hate the C’s.

To the delight of Jordan Brand jock-riders the XX3 was well-represented during Sunday night's All-Star game. JB branded athletes like Carmelo Anthony, Ray Allen, Joe Johnson, Chris Paul, and even celebrity game MVP Terrell Owens rocked the latest shoe in the Jordan series. For a full recap and to see the East/West player exclusives, check Nice Kicks.
Harlem's all about the flash, right Capo? Last night the Jordan Brand faithful braved the snow storm and camped outside The House of Hoops to lock down a pair of these Ray Allen player exclusive VIII's. A Quentin Richardson colorway also dropped, but we wouldn’t be caught dead rockin' anything New York Knicks nowadays. They went for $140, but now your only shot at getting a pair is hitting e-Bay. Expect to pay big.
