There were many outstanding individual performances from the first weekend of the NBA playoffs. Chris Paul led the Hornets to a win against the Lakers with 33 points and 14 assists. Kevin Durant torched the Nuggets for 41 points in Oklahoma City's victory on Sunday. And Dwight Howard put up 46 points and 19 rebounds in a losing effort to the Hawks on Saturday. But there wasn't a more impressive effort than the 39-point, six-rebound, six-assist output (watch his highlight reel here) from Derrick Rose, who led the Bulls to a come-from-behind 104-99 win against the Pacers. In fact, Rose was so good, Indiana's Danny Grangercompared him to a crazy stalker ex-girlfriend.

Memphis' Shane Battier hit the winning shot against San Antonio on Saturday and then became a father. ... Kevin Durant did this.

Marv Albert and Bobby Valentine are currently sporting the same odd hair color (and style). I put out an all points bulletin on Twitter last night for photo proof so I could share photographic proof with Hot Clicks Nation. Luckily, @bubbaprog came through with the evidence.

This video was sent in by Jorge Morales, of Lubbock, Texas, with no explanation or comment. I have no idea where it's from. I just know it's one of the more bizarre things I've ever seen.
