The “Pride of Iowa” senior high school all-star game took place over the weekend, and the white team made sure that they kicked the festivities off with a bang, as they one-upped the Boston Celtics with this long-snap, alley-oop off the opening tip-off.

As crazy as the title may sound, it shouldn’t shock anyone to see Mario Balotelli’s name included in it.

[...]

And when I say “all hell broke loose,” I’m not just talking about a few fights and an exchange of some unfriendly words. Not even close! Instead, “all hell breaking [...]
There were rumors swirling prior to the NBA trade deadline that the Boston Celtics were looking to unload Rajon Rondo, and if they follow that game plan during this summer’s off-season, they shouldn’t have a problem finding him a new home.
