Michael Finley Reaches Agreement with Celtics

March 5, 2010 -Dr. J-Water When I think back to the days of Michael Finley in his prime with the Dallas Mavericks, I think of one of the most lethal perimeter scoring threats in the league. At the time, he was a mix of Ray Allen’s shooting ability, and the hops and quickness of a Nate Robinson. There is a reason I am comparing Finley in his prime... [Read more]...

Jason Kidd Elbows Hawks Coach Mike Woodson

March 2, 2010 -Dr. J-Water Yesterday we talked about Kobe Bryant being a crafty defender for his ‘love tap’ to the balls of Andre Iguodala when he was taking a jumpshot.

February 19, 2010 -Dr. J-Water Immediately after the overtime thrilla in Cleveland last night between Lebron James and Carmelo Anthony the Cavaliers and the Nuggets I sat there and thought to myself, “I just watched the NBA game of the year”.

17-Yr Old Pulls Off East Bay Funk in a Game

February 1, 2010 – Dr. J-Water NBA ballers have been evolving the ‘East Bay Funk’ in dunk contests for years now. First J.R. Rider pulled it off coming from the baseline to dazzle the crowd in the 1994 Dunk Contest, then Vince Carter did the east bay off an alley-oop in 2000, but then J-Rich took it one step further in 2003 by doing...

I Guess Derrick Rose Can Jump [Video]

January 24, 2010 – Dr. J-Water Well I guess after the Bulls-Suns game on Friday we can safely say that Bulls point guard Derrick Rose has some hops, right? I think all basketball nuts know that being able to jump is having that rare combination of speed, strength, and fast twitch muscle fibers necessary to get up over the rim and throw it down....
