Cavs’ LeBron James has never entered the NBA Dunk Contest during the All-Star break. Oh, he teased the masses that he would enter time and time again but always backed out at the last minute despite being one of the most ferocious dunkers in the league. Well it seems James’ persistent ducking of the dunk […]

I swear, if there’s any way to cause stoppage of play during an NBA game, there’s no better way for that to happen than to have ice-cold, delicious, nectar of the gods, beer spilled! Denver’s Randy Foye was chasing the ball along with the Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard. Foye was full steam ahead when he crashed […]

Remember Michael Beasley? You now, the guy who played with the Heat and was picked No. 2 overall in the 2008 draft? Well, he resurfaced and is playing overseas in the Chinese Basketball Association and recently was named the MVP of the CBA All-Star game after dropping 59 points in the win. Nothing like a game […]

Perhaps the biggest block of the recent game between the Mavs and Nuggets was from Dirk Nowitzki when he blocked a reporter’s mic from teammate Chandler Parsons during his interview. Dirk decided to swat the mic from the reporter’s hand while Parsons was being interviewed. You can get away with that when you are one […]

The Raptors-Pelicans game went to the wire and with 21 seconds left in the game and the score tied at 93, the Pelicans’ Tyreke Evans showed he can be Mr. Clutch. Evans lowered his head, got into the lane, and scored on the Raptors sending Toronto fans and its team yelling in agony.

What did this poor, innocent, defenseless shoe ever do to the Warriors’ Andre Iguodala? During the recent Warriors-Rockets tussle, Houston’s Corey Brewer lost his shoe and while trying to get it back, Iguodala felt the need to kick it away from him. The result was a technical foul on Iguodala and a shoe battered and […]

There has to be some penal code for Chandler-on-Chandler crime because that is exactly what happened during the recent Nuggets-Mavs game. Wilson dropped the hammer on Tyson which was enough to make the Mavs home crowd react and the Denver bench get up off their chairs. R.I.P. Tyson Chandler. He leaves the NBA with one […]

Oh boy! Talk about a moment in time the Blazers’ Nicolas Batum will want to forget. Soooooo where do I begin? Batum air-balled twice in a row and then proceeded to gift wrap the ball to the Clippers’ Chris Paul with one easy turnover. As Homer Simpson would say, “D’oh!”

The Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo felt the need to just crush one right in the grill of Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony during their recent matchup in London. Giannis had a full head of steam and only Melo left in his way. Anthony thought giving him a shove might stop him but Giannis had other things in […]

Talk about bringing it on the mic! The D-League’s Texas Legends announcer R.J. Choppy was in rare form in a recent game as he was dropping pop culture references whenever a Legends player did something outstanding on the court. From “ain’t nobody got time for that!” to “a potato flew around my room” R.J. simply was […]

The envelope please. (tears open envelope) Oh wow! And in a stunning upset over Manu Ginobili, the Oscar for the best performance in an NBA flop goes to… Charlotte’s P.J. Hairston for his outstanding in-game flop versus the Spurs. This is Hairston’s first nomination in this category and his first win.

The NBA All-Star Dunk contest is still weeks away but the Magic’s Victor Oladipo brought some excitement to the court early. Against Houston, Victor brought the jams to the Magic fans with one sweet 360 dunk as the game was sealed for an Orlando win. Why you got to hurt the Rockets Victor? Why?????

The Spurs saw their 17-game winning streak versus the Wizards snapped Tuesday night in Washington and guard Tony Parker might want to forget the game as well. See, despite the fact No. 9 is known for getting into the lane with ease and drop his patented floaters, against Washington’s Kris Humphries and Bradley Beal, things […]

Here is all the good stuff from Monday night’s games in our roundup: Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Brooklyn Nets’ Kevin Garnett and the […]

The last time Houston fans saw tremendous foot work from a big man probably has to be from Hakeem Olajuwon. “Dream” had it all when it came to foot work and post moves, namely the “Dream Shake.” But he may not be the next coming of Hakeem, it seems center Donatas Motiejūnas has quite the foot work […]
