Dwight Howard: Superman, Darwin finch

Five minutes into last night’s Rockets-Magic game. Dwight Howard caught the pass, jabbed left, dribbled right, spun right, ended up right in Samuel Dalembert’s teeth. The bastard child of a dunk and layup split the net above staggering Samuel’s head. Houston tried to immediately counter with a mad dash down the floor. Kevin Martin might have seen Dwight coming because he hoisted the layup so high above the rim. Howard viciously punched the offering as it hovered parallel to the top of the backboard square.

Video: Polish team develops own Volkswagen Polo rally car

Dytko Volkswagen Polo

News doesn't travel fast in Poland. In fact, very few things travel all that fast in Poland. Sure, the emergence of Robert Kubica on the Formula One scene has shown well for the Eastern European country, but when he tried his hand at rallying, well... he almost lost it. (His hand, we mean.) So you can imagine our surprise when we caught wind of a Volkswagen Polo rally car being developed in Poland.

Apparently nobody told a guy named Paul Dytko that Volkswagen was already building a Polo-based rally car to challenge the World Rally Championship. Or that sister-company Skoda had turned its Fabia (which shares its underpinnings with the Polo) into an S2000 rally car, too. Not that we're complaining, mind you - there's always room for another fire-breathing, 400-horsepower hatchback in the world. We're just surprised, is all.

Dytko is reportedly trying to raise funds to continue development on the project, and potentially take it to Pikes Peak to prove what it can do. In the mean time, the Polish Polo will be taking on hill climb events across Europe in the coming season, now just weeks away. But if you can't wait that long, there's a good six minutes of rather artfully shot footage of the prototype drifting sideways around what looks like an abandoned airfield after the jump. Check it out.

Mercedes G65 AMG


We already know that Mercedes is planning to offer a G55 AMG - we’ve got spy shots to prove it - but now new spy images suggest that the company is also working on an even more powerful G-Class: the G65 AMG. The bad news is that it will be limited to only 200 units, each carrying a price tag of ? 250,000, or about $326,500 at the current exchange rates.

What makes this car really special is the engine found under the hood: a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 with 612 HP and 737 lb-ft of peak torque - previously used in the S65 AMG. The model will be distinguished by two coolers in the front bumper, one placed at each side, and a more aggressive exterior design language. Mercedes does promise that the new G65 AMG will significantly improve on fuel consumption, but we’re guessing anyone willing to purchase this vehicle will still need their own oil field to be able to enjoy it at full speed.

The upcoming Mercedes G65 AMG is expected to make its world debut at either the Detroit Auto Show in January 2012 or at the Geneva Car Show in March 2012.

Diagnosing the Lakers' defensive problems

The pick-and-roll is one of the most basic and difficult plays to defend in basketball. It’s also an accurate litmus test for how well-coached and well-practiced a defense is. In the NBA, if you can consistently stymie your opponent’s pick-and-roll attack, you can win a ton of games. Case in point: The Lakers are 0-2 in part because their offense is a mess, and in part because they are having real difficulty defending the pick-and-roll.
