I’ve said before that NBA players doing trick shows during practice and before games is sort of lame, but Monta Ellis is the exception to that, if only for the reason that he seems to consistently make these impossible shots.  It’s not a couple of lucky chucks here and there, as Ellis has been nailing these sorts of shots all season long.  So of course, his name was left off the NBA’s All-Star H-O-R-S-E contest, because including him would make sense.  At least there’s that awesome slam dunk contest to look forward to.  Oh, wait.
