In the first quarter of Miami’s win against Charlotte last night, LeBron James utilized a classic post move. He took to the left block, established undeniable position, and scored on his man with a high left hand hook off glass. It was efficient, nostalgia-inducing (clearly taking away from his work with Olajuwan). It was also [...]

30-15. The Knicks may not be in the immediate conscience of the NBA media anymore (they were essentially getting Lakers coverage for all of two months), but they still stand at a record of 30-15. And they’re still doing it with some unorthodox basketball. If someone-hell, an alien-were to watch basketball for the very first [...]

After learning that Celtic rookie Jared Sullinger wasn’t selected to participate in the NBA’s Rising Stars competition, Kevin Garnett was none to pleased. “Really? I’m actually shocked.”, Garnett responded upon first hearing the news. Frankly, he should be shocked. “Sully”, as 2012’s 21st overall pick is fondly called, is having a solid first year for [...]

The Jazz are still undergoing some reconstruction. Anchored by a veteran front line and energized by improving younger players, the Jazz are fighting through a season standing at 24-21. That total puts them at 4th in the Northwest division. They score just under 99 points per contest. An impressive stat, were it not matched by [...]

Lakers forward Metta World Peace has a practical joke show in the works. Metta’s ‘Artest Media Group’ is partnering with ‘LMNO Productions’ to come up with “a new prank series featuring professional athletes in hidden camera bits.” This hardly comes as a surprise.

When Michael Drysch, a computer technician by trade, hit a half-court shot during the intermission of a Heat/Pistons game, there was elation. By now, the sight of the 50 year old getting tackle-hugged by an excited LeBron James has gone viral. That hook shot helped Drysch to $75,000, part of which would also be donated [...]

The Toronto Raptors are having another awful season so far. Their record is abysmal, their star attraction, Kyle Lowry (acquired in the off season), has found it difficult to stay healthy this year, and Bargnani hasn’t been seen on the court for what feels like ages. Despite all of that, it’s hard to not be excited about this [...]

The Cavaliers’ Anderson Varejao, known for being sidelined to injuries, is facing perhaps his scariest yet. Varejao was diagnosed recently with a blood clot in his right lung. The Cavs’ big man has been hospitalized since Thursday, limited to little outside of a regime of blood thinners. He’ll have to continue taking those blood thinners [...]

In a sit-down with Gary Woelfel of the Journal Times, one thing was made clear: Samuel Dalembert and Scott Skiles did not see eye to eye. The 31 year old veteran center was acquired from Houston in the off season. After contributing some solid minutes to the team’s gritty image and surprising record, Dalembert wound [...]

After some spotty shooting in the Knicks’ win against the New Orleans, Carmelo Anthony had an explanation for reporters: “It’s a long story. I haven’t had a good meal in about 2 1/2 weeks. No meats, no carbs, anything like that. I don’t know how I was going through competing at a high level. Just [...]
