This Week's Media Winners

In honor of the NBA summer media doldrums, here is an uplifting compilation of some choice gems.

Creepiest Off-Season Farewell (2009):
Ben Gordon parts ways with the Chicago Bulls this summer to the collective pounding of our techno hearts.


Most Creative Conspiracy Story (Everywhere, Soon):
The Chicago Bulls' logo is not what what it appears to be, but perhaps more frightening. Watch as a simple rotation reveals its true nature. No wonder resigning Gordon wasn't the first thing on their mind.

Best Media Mix (All-Time Award):
Steve Porter's "Press Hop" is truly among the sports world's elite montages.


Best Free Agent Negotiation Documentary (2009)
Jerry Buss discusses the subtleties of Lamar Odom's contract negotiations in this lucid look inside his Los Angeles empire.


Strangest Music Video (2009)
Toronto looks to welcome Hedo Turkoglu to its streets. Apparently they appreciate the cultural contribution that he (and his grandmother?) can offer their city.
