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 [...]

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. [...]

Move over Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett is about to take center stage at the NBA trade rumor mill extravaganza. Speculation has swirled over whether or not the Boston Celtics would ultimately deal Garnett, and thus blow up their financially cumbersome roster. As one of only four players with a no-trade clause in the Association, though, [...]

But tonight against the Nets the Lakers got the win the old school Kobe way. Sure he shot a poor percentage, but he affected [...]

Do you remember when Air Jordans all came with Nike Air written somewhere on them? It is the dream of many new sneakerheads to have a Air Jordan stamped with NIKE AIR the way the original releases were and tomorrow, February 6th, that will be possible for those able to get their hands on the [...]

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 [...]

When he was taken second overall in the NBA draft some years ago, there were high hopes for Michael Beasley. But he is now on his third team in his young career and we’ve long since heard rumors about his work ethic and lack of effort. This recent news certainly doesn’t help either. He was [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers are going to cap off a tumultuous season by doing nothing at the NBA’s trade deadline. Much has been made of what the team would try to do leading into February 21st. Would the Lakers attempt to trade Pau Gasol? Dwight Howard? Everyone (kidding)? Sitting 3.5 games outside the Western Conference [...]
