Courtesy of the fellas over at SB Nation for the GIF, we can relive last night’s game winning bucket by the Knicks JR Smith, to down the Bobcats. JR Smith is a stone cold gunner. China? NBA? Streets? Doesn’t matter. Best of all though, his victory dance…after the jump. [...]

In honor of Kobe Bryant’s historic mark set last night as the youngest player to reach 30,000 career points, we thought we’d share this video we stumbled across of Kobe Bryant’s first ever NBA point. It came at the free through line, before Mamba was even the Black Mamba. Look at that baby face! [...]

After two different event dates & performance lineups, it seems like “third time’s the charm” for the NYC stop of Sneaker Pimps with December 19th being the new date.  Originally set for late October, Hurricane Sandy put a stop to that also forcing the cancelation of the rescheduled time which was set for November.

Pau Gasol has recently been staring at a figurative clock on his time with the Lakers. As LA has been moving from their more traditional offense to a 7-seconds-or-less style, the need for athletic size has put glaring emphasis on Gasol. Gasol is, in my opinion, a top 5 forward on his worst day in [...]

A new NBA season means a new signature sneaker for those players privileged enough, and without a doubt, Kobe Bryant is one of those players.  For his eighth signature sneaker with Nike, the Kobe 8 System has an added emphasis on being lightweight. With a snakeskin print purposely designed as such to play off of [...]

We already knew Kobe Bryant had joined rare company by winning 5 NBA Championships, making 14 NBA All Star appearances, in addition to passing Oscar Robertson, Hakeem Olajuwon, and John Havilcheck in career scoring.
