Dwight Howard has often been proclaimed as the best center in the NBA, and his combinations of nightly double-doubles and third row swats make that title difficult to refute. Nonetheless, Howard’s most talented and dominating teammate has recently put the league’s premier big man to a challenge. In an away game against the Suns, LA [...]

Over the past decade or so, the halftime performance for the NBA’s All-Star game has gradually become a bigger deal. The acts that have been booked have been major compared to the past. This year, Alicia Keys has been tabbed as the halftime entertainment. Keys has had a busy month, as she sang the National [...]

With the NBA All-Star Weekend just next weekend, Jordan Brand officially announces the sneakers they are releasing to celebrate the biggest basketball weekend. Inspired by all things stealth, the design seen on the Air Jordan XX8 shroud is a direct inspiration from the waves seen while wearing night-vision goggles.  That is very important to remember [...]

Danilo Gallinari can score. Sometimes it’s pretty, sometimes it’s not. His game-icing bucket against the Milwaukee Bucks though was pretty—pretty damn wild. With the Denver Nuggets ahead by four and less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, Ty Lawson poked away an entry pass made by Brandon Jennings. Gallinari came up with the [...]

Last night, the Houston Rockets were on fire (video after the jump). Just about everything they threw up from behind the arc vs. the Golden State Warriors dropped. They tied an NBA-record with an amazing 23 3-pointers made, en route to a 140-109 win. Let’s see if they can do the same tonight vs. Miami. [...]

As one of only four players with a no-trade clause in the Association, though, [...]

Yes, in some ways Kobe Bryant has been reinventing himself with the LA Lakers as of late playing the point guard position, distributing the rock, and shooting at a higher percentage. But tonight against the Nets the Lakers got the win the old school Kobe way. Sure he shot a poor percentage, but he affected [...]

He can change his name and his zip code, but he’s still Ron Artest. Over the weekend, Metta World Peace and his Lakers were in Detroit taking on the Pistons. During the game, Metta connected with Brandon Knight on what appeared to be a punch. In Detroit, he’s still throwing punches. The NBA has suspended [...]

Kevin Durant kisses his mom before games, gives respectful interviews and always makes time for the fans. He’s the nicest guy in the NBA. There’s no way he could be responsible for a rash of vicious highlight dunks. Or could he?” [...]

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 [...]
