This past weekend, I was invited out with the AND1 design team as they toured around the Coney Island side of Brooklyn, NY with Lance Stephenson as they gather inspiration for the upcoming Born Ready collection thru AND1 apparel. Very fittingly, the first stop on the tour was famed Abraham Lincoln HS where Stephenson led [...]

The Miami Heat has signed former Lakers forward Shawne Williams, according to multiple league sources. With this addition, William’s ability to knock down three-pointers at a respectable accuracy will help spread the floor in offense for the Heat. However, most likely he won’t be receiving enough playing time as serves as the backup for Luol [...]

Never say Pat Riley didn’t try to replace LeBron James with the next best superstar. No, we’re not talking about Luol Deng, who, in a way, actually is LeBron’s replacement.

Glen Taylor, owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves, is feeling nostalgic, and this obsession with the past could prevent president and coach Flip Saunders from trading Kevin Love.

So, not only was he away, but LeBron reportedly wasn’t talking to anybody while he was making up his mind. That left Bosh, who had a max offer on the table from the Rockets, in the dark. By [...]

When the Finals concluded, even though he was coy in his final press conference after game 5’s loss to the Spurs, many felt as if LeBron James was returning to the Heat. Not many felt Cleveland was in the cards. We were all in for a rude awakening about three weeks later. Apparently, so was [...]

The original high flyer, “Dr J” Julius Erving’s amazing free throw line dunk during the 1976 ABA All Star Game is so legendary that very few have ever come close to duplicating this legendary feat. Many have tried, but essentially only “His Airness” Michael Jordan came the closest to duplicating Erving’s original FT line jam, [...]
