Chris Bosh, playing in a game for the first time since he was hospitalized with blood clots on his lung, didn’t need much time at all to shake the rust off in the Miami Heat’s preseason opener against the Charlotte Hornets.

The Heat have a lot of hype around them, and Bosh is delivering on that, and a between-the-legs pass to teammate Dwyane Wade for the score. It’s the kind of stuff we haven’t seen in Miami since the Big Three era.

Blake Griffin Disagrees with Shot Clocks

Warming up for the Los Angeles Clippers’ preseason game against the Toronto Raptors, Blake Griffin may have been too turnt for his own good, breaking the shot clock while practicing his dunking.

Someone tell these guys it’s only the preseason. Actually, never mind, don’t tell them anything. This is good.

It didn’t take long for Gerald Green to show Heat fans what he can do with the ball in his hands and his feet off the ground. The dude can fly, and he’s going to be doing a lot of this in Miami this season.

Kobe Back

Kobe Bryant hasn’t played in nearly nine months, and now he’s back! Yay! Kobe! Oh, wait, Kobe… no… don’t do that… no… Kobe!

(Don’t worry, he made pretty much the exact same shot later on. Of course.)
