This week, we are giving you two choices for your weekly pwnage award… Because, you know, it’s all about selection. Our first one serves as a little redemption for one Rudy Gay and his dunk contest failure. After trying to hype the crowd by requesting input on YouTube, he went out and got lost in the Dwight Howard/Gerald Green onslaught.
A word of advice: when D-Howard shakes up the world with his behind-the-backboard dunk, you probably shouldn’t do one that’s in the same vein. It only gets lost in the shuffle. However, last night, Rudy redeemed himself by absolutely abusing Joakim Noah, something TBL noticed as well.
Too bad you can’t simulate game conditions in the dunk contest, right Rudy.
For our other selection, The Offside found this gem of Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard and his peculiar goal against Bolton goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen (which might be one of the best names ever). Not much can be said here, so just watch:
If you’re ever struggling to give someone a definition of good and bad luck, just show them this video. It explains the whole phenomenon perfectly.

He put alittle extra on that goal. In slow mo, it didn’t look like it had much of a top spin. The backspin after the block though was lethal.

That sucks, take the shot off the face, then watch backspin crank it into the net. Being a keeper can be no fun sometimes.
