Top 10 YouTube Videos of White Guys Dunking in the NBA

The movie “White Men Can’t Jump” didn’t help the stereotype that most white guys are un-athletic.I have had this blog for a few years and I cannot believe that I have never thought of posting ‘white guy slam dunk’ videos. There have been a lot of pale NBA players have graced us with fantastic dunks. Tom Chambers and Rex Chapman had awesome dunks and helped pave the way for Brent Barry to win the Slam Dunk contest…but let’s not fool anyone, the stereotype still exists.

I scoured YouTube in search of the best videos of white boys throwing it down in the NBA. I picked a few iconic dunks and a couple that have happened recently. Sadly, I couldn’t find a good Rex Chapman dunk video. Here’s the top 10 YouTube videos of “white guys dunking in the NBA”…I added a special video at the end.

Artist Of The Day – The Black Keys

In the past, I’ve done a “Song Of The Day” series, but I’m in a giving mood. In 2010, I did a “Song Of The Day post for “Tighten Up by The Black Keys. I just saw them in concert at the time and they blew my mind. Their latest album, “El Camino,” has been a fixture on my Spotify playlist since it came out in late 2011.

Living the last half-decade in Ohio, I’ve learned to love and support local music. The Black Keys are from Akron, Ohio and the state has embraced them. The citizens of Ohio can look at them and say, “They are one of us.” I hope it leads to more people trying to achieve their dreams.

I’ve got a triple stack of videos for you. All of these videos are off of “El Camino,” an album that every music fan should own. The first video is the official video for “Gold On The Ceiling.’ The video is amazing and captures what it’s like to see the band live and shows a glimpse of them recording the album. Secondly, I have audio of the track “Dead And Gone.” This track is such an emotionally raw track with a drumbeat to match. Lastly, I have the hilarious “Lonely Boy” video. I could watch the dancing guy in the video, all day.

Random YouTube Artist – Tommy Knox

I am always looking around YouTube trying to find funny things, but sometimes I run across some pretty decent musicians that are trying to get their music out to the masses. Tommy Knox is a musician from the Chicago-area that has put his music out on myspace and YouTube. I have actually liked Tommy Knox for about a year. He does some decent acoustic music via a webcam. He does covers of popular pop songs as well as rap/r&b. He also has original music that he has made videos for as well.

Here are links to his

Myspace and YouTube pages.

Song Of The Day – Weezer (Pork & Beans)

Weezer did it again! After their last album, breakup rumors were louder than ever. Alternative Press magazine ran a story about the members of the band not speaking to each other between albums and Rivers Cuomo releasing a solo of B-sides didn’t curb the rumors. “The Red Album” has been swirling around on the net for the last few weeks and it sounds a little different from previous albums, but still predominantly Weezer.

I’ve been a fan of Weezer since “The Blue Album” and will keeping being a fan even if they put out a stinker of an album (“Maladroit). I’ve only seen one Weezer concert, but it would amazing. I would recommend going to a Weezer concert if you have the chance, they don’t tour often and who knows with Cuomo will go back to being a hermit and the band will eventually dissolve.

Here is the video for “Pork & Beans,” you will recognize a lot of random YouTube stars in the video, a true classic.

Song Of The Day – Mae (Suspension)

I like to think that I had a little to do with Mae’s success. I know this can’t be farther from the truth, but after I saw them in concert, I told all my friends. I ended up interviewing the lead singer at a McDonald’s, which was across the street from the venue in Indianapolis. They opened up for The Starting Line, which was also very good.

Mae is a band from the Richmond, VA area. They released two albums on Tooth and Nail, which signs predominantly Christian rock acts. T&N doesn’t consider themselves as a Christian label, since they do sign bands that consider themselves as secular, like Mae and Emery. Their newest album, “Singularity,” was released on Capitol Records. It has a little different sound, more like Goo Goo Dolls than anything else.

Here is an oldie from Mae, “Suspension.”

Song Of The Day – Shiny Toy Guns (Rainy Monday)

I think that Shiny Toy Guns – “Rainy Monday” seems like a good choice for a very rainy Monday. Many of the Opening Day games so far have been delayed by rain. I think the Brewers/Cubs game should be a pretty good one. By the way, did anyone see the Nationals/Braves game last night? I was pretty impressed with the Nationals new ballpark, plus the walk-off in the bottom of the ninth is always a great way to start off a season and a new field.

Song Of The Day – Chris Cornell (Billie Jean)

American Idol’s David Cook just added some much needed juice to Chris Cornell’s solo career. Cornell’s solo album came out last year and it hasn’t sold very well. He was probably looking at a Soundgarden reunion tour, but Cook just sang Cornell’s version of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean.” I know, it’s like a version of a version of a version, but the only thing that matters is that Cook did an amazing job. Cornell should profit from this ’cause his version of “Billie Jean” is on his new album, “Carry On.”

I know all the judges on American Idol praised Cook for his originality and for “going out on a limb,” but listen to Cornell’s version, it’s not any different. Cornell actually sings the song much better, but don’t tell the normal 13-18 year old female watching Mr. Cook on “Idol.”

Here is Cornell’s version.

Song Of The Day – Escape The Fate (Not Good Enough)

Just by looking at a picture of Escape The Fate, one could come to a conclusion that they are a Motley Crue cover band. Their style is even more over-the-top than Avenged Sevenfold’s take on 80’s hair/fashion. Their album “Dying Is Your Latest Fashion” merges a few different genres. Some the tracks are hardcore, but about half of the record sounds pop-punk-screamo. It’s a good album if you are into any of those genres.

They need to buy pants a few sizes larger, I would probably feel more comfortable watching their videos. Their ‘boys’ must be screaming with every step they take.

Here is their video for “Not Good Enough”
