    My favorite moment from the 2011 summer leagues was watching NBA All Stars come together and barnstorm games, and donating profits to charity. While not letting the lockout stop them from playing, NBA players were also selfless enough to donate money to those who need it most, even though they’re not making anything this summer.

    My favourite moment(s) is got to be each morning, waking up, and head straight to the computer to the watch Youtube highlights. Residing in Toronto, we didn’t get the exposure to all those summer games, and highlights were all. I thank the players for putting on a memorable summer.

    I loved watching Matt Barnes’ charity game in San Jose. I was amazed watching Gilbert drain 5 straight 30-footers on 5 straight possessions. “Hibachi” was cooking like he was a Wizard again. Steph “The Future” Curry dropped a triple double, who does that in a charity game!? Basketball Never Stops!

    I loved how John Wall went all out everywhere he balled this summer. Can’t wait to see him on the NBA court tearing it up.

    Thought it was gonna be a Big Pun tee…

  • tdubb Posted: Nov.8 at 12:09 pm
    My favorite part of the summer so far must be seeing Kevin Durant play flag football with some local students. It shows that he actually cares about his fans and that he is very willing to interact with them. A small act of kindness from Durant may be a dream come true to his fans, and he made several fans’ dreams come true this summer!

    The best part of the summer was the way KD balled from city to city, especially his 66 points at Rucker Park. Everyone knows Rucker Park as the place where Wilt and Dr. J dominated, but now we can remember the Durant era and how despite a lockout, basketball never stops.

  • TrillboSwaggins Posted: Nov.8 at 12:49 pm
    My favorite moment of this summer was my boy John “Jumpin Out The Gym” Wall taking names at the CP3 game in NC. Kid played like he was flat out on a mission and even caused LBJ and company to turn their heads. Betta hide your kids, wives, etc. because hes comin for all yall next summer NBA. NOW LETS SETTLE THIS DAMN LOCKOUT

  • Enigmatic Posted: Nov.8 at 12:49 pm
    Yo, same here, Omar!
    I was mad hyped, that would of been ill.
    As for this summer?
    Man, eff this summer.
    Alls I’ll remember bout the summer of 2011 will be the lockout.

  • Austin Posted: Nov.8 at 12:51 pm
    My favorite memory from the summer was the Rajon Rondo no look alley oop pass to Kenneth Faried during the state farm allstar game. The only pass that I can think of that would be close would be the John Wall pass to Blake Griffin.

    My favorite moment of summer basketball was my game at West 4th Street. We won by a buzzer beater 3 pointer in quadruple overtime vs Team 524. Best game I played in all summer!

  • airs Posted: Nov.8 at 1:30 pm
    favorite basketball moment from this summer…hmm
    well, i didn’t really watch any of those summer leagues cuz the opposition/competition seemed lame.
    didn’t have the time to search for these games, online or otherwise.
    i guess, it would have to be when i was playing 2k11, and i was russell westbrook.
    i drove to the lane, met by 3 defenders, and pulled off a between-the-legs dunk on everybody.
    sh*t was wild, son.

  • George Walker Posted: Nov.8 at 1:44 pm
    My favorite basketball moment of this was after the 2011 drew league championship Kobe Bryant showed up the next day and killed it. Just when you thought basketball was done, the greatest in the league comes to Compton to hoop was an amazing moment. #Lakers #LAUNFD

  • Daniel J Posted: Nov.8 at 2:03 pm
    My all time moments in my life are pretty much all basketball related, but this summer I had one that well beat the rest. I’ve played basketball for a long time, and I am good. The only snag in my game is that im fairly short and not that athletic. Anyway, this summer I went to a summer camp for the my schools basketball team. Towards the end of camp we had to play 1 on 1 with everybody and to my surprise, I played amazing and beat almost everybody on the team. This experience helped me a lot while I was trying to make the team. By the way, I made the team.

  • Kenneth Harris Posted: Nov.8 at 2:05 pm
    My favorite basketball moment is when i was playing at an AAU Regionals and my team wasnt even supposed to be there but we ended up playing the number 2 team in the Region and everyone said we were going to get kill but my team perserverd and we played hard and we ended up beatting them 76-80 and moving on in the tournment. We didnt win the tournment but it was so fun that my team went out and showed out. My team is still playing and we plan on going the distance this year.but that was my favorite moment ever and you never know we could pull another upset

  • Levi Posted: Nov.8 at 2:17 pm
    Battle for I-95. It was great to see Philly players come out and represent. Playing as a team and having fun, it was over the top. Lowry, Evans & Warrick all came to play, but nothing beats Lou Williams block on Lebron and him closing out the game. #ShowYaLuv

  • Chase M Posted: Nov.8 at 2:39 pm
    My favorite basketball moment of the summer was a very inspiring clip on youtube, it really changed the way I look at life.

    My favorite basketball moment of the summer is when the Minnesota Lynx forced me to stop hating and appreciate women’s hoops. Seimone and Maya were straight balling. The passion and skill level of WNBA hoops is great. And they play for crumbs compared to their looked out counterparts.

  • Ben Weiner Posted: Nov.8 at 3:47 pm
    Rajon Rondo throwing the best pass of all time to kenneth faried. A no-look alley-oop 3point distance pass… Dude should be a magician if the lockout goes much longer

  • Ben Weiner Posted: Nov.8 at 3:50 pm
    or the lebron james to seahawks rumors… i hate lebron but it would be pretty awesome to have him in the NFL. A physical specimen like him would be the best tight end in football if he gave it time. and also it would’ve been cool to see pat reily’s heart stop

  • JTaylor21 Posted: Nov.8 at 3:53 pm
    Airs, good one. I’m against capital punishment, so this is a no go.

  • Gametimeweezy Posted: Nov.8 at 5:28 pm

  • Whiteout Posted: Nov.8 at 7:44 pm
    HaHa O!! Me too!

  • VanCityBBall Posted: Nov.8 at 9:25 pm
    My favourite part of the basketball year was watching Kevin Durant tear it up in FIBA carrying the USA team to victory. My favourite NBA SEASON moment has got to be when Rajon Rondo got his arm bent in the opposite direction during the playoffs, busted and bruised, but came back and lead the Celtic’s to victory.

  • Nolan Caress Posted: Nov.8 at 9:36 pm
    Me and 2 friends went to a court. We’d played there all summer and nobody else was ever there, until now. There were 5 people and it was small for halfcourt games. We played 3v5, loser leaves, winner gets court all summer (cliche!). Victory gave us the best summer ever.

  • Darius Sadeghi Posted: Nov.8 at 9:43 pm
    My favorite youtube clip has got to be the Golden State Warriors We Believe charity game. Unfortunately I did not get to go, but watching the clip brought back so many great memories of the Warriors’ historic run back in 07. And to see the past play against the future of the bay area was amazing, Steph curry is gonna be something special.

  • J Blackburn Posted: Nov.8 at 10:12 pm
    My favorite basketball moment of the summer is definitely attending the H206 charity game held at Key Arena in Seattle that pitted NBA players from the Seattle area against other players that they called the league. The Seattle team won of course with Jamal Crawford showing off his sick handle and Terrence Williams scoring bucket after bucket. It was just awesome watching NBA action back in Seattle where it belongs!

  • AlexR Posted: Nov.9 at 1:43 am
    Rondo’s blind alley to Kenneth Faried!!! Straight Dope!!!

  • Daniel Dragicevich Posted: Nov.9 at 8:43 am
    My favourite bball moment of the summer has gotta be seeing Patty Miils playin in his hometown league in Australia. Yes he is a star here.. and seeing him play live in front of a mighty 5,000 sold out crowd almost made me forget there was a lockout. Shame the NBA players aren’t doing there downunder tour in my city or that would be bloody nuts!!

  • Ryan Posted: Nov.9 at 10:18 am
    My favorite moment of the summer, basketball related or not, was taking my son to see Team Philly beat Team Melo. He literally stood the entire time cheering and clapping.

  • Melvin Conner Posted: Nov.9 at 10:27 am
    i like the fb page….my favorite momment this summer was when KD had 66 in rucker and my other favorite was when john wall went off at the goodman vs drew league and another one was when kobe took over at the drew league hittin the game winner.

  • Jack Shelton Posted: Nov.9 at 11:05 am
    if your a real basketball fan and SLAM fan and your always on this site like me, this is simple! every moment of basketball being played this summer is amazing! Jwall alley opp and dougie dance,etc. Shout out to the players for keepin the game alive.

  • J Blackburn Posted: Nov.9 at 2:20 pm
    Went over 50 words but couldn’t leave anything out when talking about NBA action back in the 206!!!!!

  • Milo Brown Posted: Nov.9 at 11:42 pm
    My favorite moment is when i was watching nba’s hardwood clasics. it was game 6 of the ’98 finals, and micheal jordan stole the ball. then he did one of the best pull up jumpers I have ever saw.

  • Steph Posted: Nov.10 at 9:58 am
    My favorite moment would have to be when all the players stated their thoughts on the lockout. They said they would want to play overseas by also said they wanted to keep in touch with their fans. It really amazed me on some of the players words on the lockout.

  • Allen Posted: Nov.10 at 11:51 am
    My favorite moment of the summer was Gilbert Arenas’ shoe giveaway. It was exciting each day trying to win a signed pair of shoes from an NBA player. Gilbert’s tweets were also hilarious to follow. It was great to see someone give back to the fans and let them know they are appreciated.

  • Sweetness Posted: Nov.10 at 6:58 pm
    My favorite moment I would be the seeing UCF once of my favorite college teams play in my hometown, this summer. It was one of my first times seeing a Division one team play up close. Even though it was a major blow up, UCF won easily lol but I still enjoyed watching the game.

  • Abe Schwadron Posted: Nov.11 at 12:29 pm
