The Denver Nuggets were one of the surprise stories of the NBA season. Although they are devoid of you would classify as a superstar, they have a bunch of guys that gel on the court and really play well together. In fact, they only lost 3 games at home all season long and earned a [...]

On the 18th anniversary of the famous Pacers-Knicks battle where Reggie Miller scored 8 points in 9 seconds to defeat the Knicks and gave the choke sign to Knicks Superfan Spike Lee, Miller was feeling playful on twitter yesterday afternoon: Since its the anniversary of the 8pts, maybe I walk by Spike tonight and give [...]

Dunk of the year? Probably not. Put-back dunk of the playoffs? ABSOLUTELY! Knicks swingman Iman Shumpert played with a lot of energy in Game 2 (like most of the Knicks, not named Smith), but it was this put-back dunk off the missed shot that ignited the crowd at MSG and had Knicks fans buzzing. Dominant [...]

Sometimes the marketing machine in sports can be more creative and cut throat than political attack ads. Check out this creative Chicago Billboard that shows Bulls’ Joakim Noah literally ‘extinguishing’ the Heat’s Lebron James. Clever. (H/t to TheScore/TBJ for the Image) [...]

Back in April, the Phoenix Suns relieved GM Lance Blanks of his duties. The Suns had a disappointing season and you can’t fire the players, of course. Today, their search for a GM came to an end as they hired Ryan McDonough away from the Boston Celtics. McDonough had been the assistant GM in Boston, [...]

This LeBron X MVP edition gets the ‘What The LeBron’ nickname from taking elements from different LeBron Xs that released throughout the regular season. Elements from the pairs [...]

Stephen A. Smith is at it again. Speaking on ESPN’s First Take, Smith spoke of a potential blockbuster that could eventually go down between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Clippers. And I’m not even sure “blockbuster” does it justice. The deal in question would have both Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett being sent to [...]

Nate Robinson has been a man on a mission. The way he’s been playing out his mind, it is almost like he’s a shorter more energetic version of Derrick Rose out there. It’s still hard to believe less than a year ago he was struggling to find a roster spot in the NBA. Last night’s [...]

Sure, Kevin Garnett has slowed down but he’s still a lot better than many younger bigs in the league today. Last summer, there was speculation as to whether or not KG would retire. Then Celtics GM Danny Ainge signed him to a 3-year deal valued at north of $30M and that put the uncertainty to [...]
