Aaron Brooks in a Phoenix Suns Pre-Draft Workout 06.12.2007

Here's some really nice behind the scenes footage of what a NBA pre-draft workout is like. And it just so happens to be our man Aaron Brooks as the star of the show.

Summer League: Houston Rockets Aaron Brooks scores 28 - 07.12.2007

Summer League doesn't mean much but who cares? A.B. is ripping it up nonetheless. Here's the highlights from the July 12, 2007 game against the Dallas Mavericks' summer league squad.

Aaron Brooks Post-Draft Interview

A.B. comes off pretty well in this interview. Definitely worth watching. The video is courtesy of rocket.com.

Video Highlights from Aaron Brooks' summer league debut 07.10.2007

The video quality is terrible and there's no audio but the highlights are still beautiful. Brooks starts off with a nice assist for a dunk and the foul. He follows that up with 2 threes and at the end you'll see A.B. throw a nice lob.

Brooks Off to a Wonderful Start

In his NBA debut(summer league sort of counts) on Tuesday 07.21.07 Aaron Brooks went 6 of 14 for 21 points and had 8 assists. The Rockets beat the Clippers 90-76. No pictures or video yet but I'll work on it.

The Rockets games Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will all be broadcast on nbatv, so there should be some video from one of the games for me to post. We'll see.

Tajuan outscores the No. 6 pick in the NBA Draft

Tajuan went 6 for 9 from the field and led the USA U-19 team with 20 points, 15 of his 20 points coming off threes, big surprise. USA defeated China 91-75 and the Milwaukee Bucks number one pick in the draft, Yi Jianlian, had 15 points. The seven foot Yi got a little Tajuanesque going 1 of 1 from beyond the arc but that was not enough to topple the mighty capitalists of the west.

Christ Almighty

Apparently while T.P. is off playing with the U-19 USA National Team, Mitch Platt and Ray Schafer are going to be hoopin' for Jesus. They both will be playing for Athletes in Action, a "faith based" basketball squad that tours the world looking to spread the good word. According to the AIA’s website their mission is to “bring Jesus Christ and His message of victory into the hearts, homes, and communities of millions around the world...and to share one message: Life’s greatest victory is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.”

For some reason Sting Ray never struck me as a man of faith. Those wacky shaved lines in his hair and that monster truck he drives just didn't seem humble enough, although that ridiculous spin move to reverse lay up that he insists on doing every time he gets in the game could easily be called a "prayer" of a shot if he didn't make at least one a game.
