Allen Iverson finally shook his shadow and shook up the NBA Finals. Hounded by unheralded Tyronn Lue, Iverson scored seven of his 48 points in a one-minute span of overtime as the Philadelphia 76ers stunned the Los Angeles Lakers with a 107-101 victory in the opener of the NBA Finals. Iverson scored 30 points in a scintillating first half, letting everyone know that the 76ers were going to be more than another pushover for the powerful Lakers. His late flurry silenced the Staples Center and unceremoniously ended Los Angeles' run at a perfect postseason. "Anybody that bet on it, some broke people out there," Iverson said. "I'm glad nobody didn't bet their life on it 'cause they definitely would be dead right now." Instead, the Sixers -- double-digit underdogs -- are very much alive as they again displayed their heroic heart. "Our guys just try hard," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "This is kind of unexpected but it's neat." In between Iverson outbursts, Lue stymied the NBA Most Valuable Player for nearly 20 minutes, using his quickness to prevent Iverson from even getting the ball, let alone shoot it. He had spent the last two practices impersonating Iverson (..less)

As part of the "Turn It On Tour" 2007 (sorry, "Turn It On SELECTION OF SHOWS!") Genesis hit my local city of Manchester (England, United Kingdom UK, Great Britain) yesterday. I support Manchester United so it made it extra special for me to see my favourite band play at my favourite football team's stadium. I did not film the whole show as I wanted a bit of a dance and a sing. Plus my arm started to ache after about 10 minutes of holding the camera in the air and it also was a bit annoying to keep checking that I had a good image because I wanted to watch the show! It is not excellent quality as it was only filmed on my mobile phone (Sony K800i). This is the start with a medley from the Duke album from 1980. "Behind the Lines" followed by "Duke's Ending" followed by "Turn it On Again". Some people like the medleys, some don't. I love them! (..less)

It is not excellent quality as it was only filmed on my mobile phone (Sony K800i). This is where Phil talks to us for the first time. As well as being a really good singer, drummer and performer he demonstrates his excellent ability to interact with the crowd. Just wait until you see the AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION bit before Domino which is featured in video number 9. They then go on to play "No Son of Mine" (..less)

I unfortunately didn't get the last part of Afterglow as my mate phoned me and the video stopped. (..less)

This is actual footage of my house under attack by a teenage gang back in 2001. I have cut out about a minutes worth where I had called the police on my mobile phone and gave them my details. It all started when I caught 3 of them in the act of vandalising the lights at the front of my house which resulted in me having an altercation with one of them. They left and came back with a gang of about 10. I was waiting for them with my Handycam camera and video taped the whole incident. The good news is after the police came and watched the video, the police arrested 3 of them after a short search in the area. (..less)

Final minutes of the 1991 NBA finals Game 5 "Lakers - Bulls" The Bulls would defeat the Lakers in 4 games to 1. This would ultimately turn out to be Magic Johnson's last NBA Finals appearance, who was without James Worthy and Byron Scott, the Laker's #2 and #3 scorers, in the final game. Thus, the only win for the Lakers came in Game 1 when Sam Perkins (Michael Jordan's former University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill teammate) hit the game winning 3 point shot. Later in the final seconds, Jordan's chance for a game-winner rattled out. Other memorable moments came when Jordan shot 15 of 18 from the floor in Game 2 including a layup when, attempting to dunk, avoided a potential Sam Perkins block by switching hands in midair and laying the ball up with his left. The play became so popular that it would come to be known as "The Move" (in Chicago). Jordan also sent Game 3 (a game the Bulls eventually won) to overtime with a game tying jumper, a first of many such heroics for him on the NBA's greatest stage. Michael Jordan unanimously won his first NBA Finals MVP award (to go with his regular season MVP award and his fifth straight scoring title), and wept while hol (..less)
