Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later date for the late Knicks’ Jason Smith. Smith’s NBA career came to a crashing halt after the Clippers’ DeAndre Jordan threw down one monster dunk right in his face that got the crowd in MSG off their seats and the L.A. bench rejoicing. Smith joins other NBA […]

This lob attempt by the Bucks’ Michael Carter-Williams should be shown at each and every basketball camp to demonstrate how not to toss lobs. Against the Heat, MCW saw a streaking Jerryd Bayless heading right to the rim across the baseline and threw up the lob for what would have been one great alley-oop dunk. […]

Talk about dreams coming true. With nine seconds left on the game clock, the Bucks were trailing 86-88 to Miami. The Bucks had the ball, missed on a lay-up, fought to keep the rebound when the ball landed in the hands of Khris Middleton. Middleton launched a desperation three-pointer that found its way to the bottom […]

You must have heard of shadow boxing or even shadow dancing. But how about shadow free-throwing? And that’s exactly what Golden State’s Klay Thompson did against the Wizards when his teammate was at the charity stripe and creeped up behind him to pretend as if he was shooting the free-throw. Why do I get a […]

To say the Thunder have been bit by the injury bug this season would be an understatement. They’ve been chewed up, mauled, and chomped by the injury bug. OKC has seemingly lost Kevin Durant for the season due to a foot injury, Serge Ibaka has gone down, Russell Westbrook was hurt for a while and […]

Oh Brook! Against the Pacers, the Nets’ Brook Lopez found himself one-on-one on the offensive side of the court against the Pacers’ Roy Hibbert. Lopez sized Hibbert up, did a few fake moves with the ball and… tripped up on the floor, got his head stuck in Roy’s crotch, turned the ball over and even […]

Houston’s James Harden is on a tear this season. So much so, he is mentioned as a strong MVP candidate and has Houston among the best teams in the West sans Dwight Howard. Yes, Harden has proven this season almost no one can slow him down. Enter the Suns’ P.J. Tucker. As Tucker found himself […]

Turn away if you are faint of heart because you are about to see a human being lose a tooth. The Pelicans’ Eric Gordon was trying to get past the Clippers’ Matt Barnes when he tripped and fell flat on his face. Oh and he lost a tooth too. Check out Gordon’s tooth come flying […]

I guess the Warriors’ Andrew Bogut didn’t learn the meaning of sharing when he was growing up in Australia. During the Warriors-Jazz recent game, Utah’s Rudy Gobert was soaking in sweat and needed some help from Bogut. Seeing him grab himself a towel to dry off, Rudy decided to see if Bogut would be a […]

I think LeBron James forgot that the free throw line is near the rim and not somewhere close to the half-court mark. Against the Bucks, James was close to the half-court line when the ref blew the whistle. So what did James do? Oh just casually shoot the ball at the rim and sink it […]

How do you know you are having one heck of an NBA season? When you’re the Warriors’ Stephen Curry versus the Jazz and somehow manage to make a bucket as you are falling to the court, surrounded by Jazz defenders, flip the ball up in the air and somehow the ball finds the bottom of the […]

The mascot strikes back! Blazers’ Robin Lopez has had a running fued with NBA mascots. For some reason, Lopez just doesn’t like the mascots that bring a smile to fans in the stands. Up until today, Lopez had the best of mascots but Memphis’ mascot – Grizz – got some revenge on Robin on behalf […]

Are you ready to get out of your seat? Because you might set your eyes on what is arguably the dunk of the year. Against the Hornets, the Kings’ Derrick Williams obliterated Hornets big man Bismack Biyombo with a dunk that ranks right up there with any humiliating dunk the Clippers’ Blake Griffin might serve up. […]

You don’t mess with the “Red Mamba.” Ever! And Boston’s Marcus Smart found out the hard way when he hit Matt in his “red mamba” in the second half of the Spurs-Celtics game tonight. Coming off a pick, Smart and Bonner got tangled up when Marcus took a jab at Matt’s groin. The result… “Red […]

Yeah this is going to sting a bit for Utah’s Rudy Gobert. Against the Wizards, Gobert was on the wrong end of a powerful, ego-crushing dunk courtesy of Nene. Check out Nene making Gobert look silly and the Wizards’ bench jumping out of their seats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnGbcS6SeuQ
