Bucks’ Carter-Williams’ lob attempt is legendary

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. […]

Khris Middleton hits a miracle game-winner

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 […]

Klay Thompson likes to shadow free-throw

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 […]

The Knicks and Lakers are looking ahead to a possibly bright future

The New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers are undoubtedly two of the NBA’s most popular franchises, which probably has something to do with them being based in the United States’ two biggest cities. However, even as Madison Square Garden and the Staples Center continue to fill up to capacity, the respective product on the […]

Enter this contest to win a Slingbox and more

The playoff race in the NBA is heating up and that means that the pretenders and non-contenders are looking forward to the NBA Draft. Of course, that also means those teams are looking toward March Madness in the college ranks to get a feel for who they want to draft. While there are plenty of […]

OKC’s Collison is dumbfounded on team’s rash of injuries

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 […]

Brook Lopez fails miserably at attacking Pacers’ Hibbert on offense

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 […]

P.J. Tucker… the Harden stopper!

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 […]

Pelicans’ Gordon falls flat on his face and loses a tooth

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 […]

Bogut doesn’t want to share with Gobert

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 […]

Top 4 Potential Coaching Vacancies, Who Fills Them

Thus far in the 2014-2015 NBA season three head coaches have lost their jobs. Mike Malone, formerly the Kings head coach, led the way followed by Orlando’s release of Jacque Vaughn, and most recently Brian Shaw in Denver. George Karl quickly filled the Kings’ coaching hole, but Orlando and Denver stay committed to their interim […]

Kawhi you gotta be so rude?

Here’s some things you already know. The Spurs, the defending NBA champions, are a contender. The Hawks, the top seed in the East, are heavily influenced by San Antonio — in the front office, on the court, and at head coach, where Mike Budenholzer and Greg Popovich have an elaborate history. And last night’s 114-95 […]

The Great Gatsby: Steve Nash Officially Calls it a Career

In a piece published in The Players’ Tribune, 18-year NBA veteran Steve Nash announced his retirement from the NBA months after being ruled out for the season due to a back injury. But Steve Nash, the encapsulating point guard fans will remember forever, has been gone for some time now. The dastardly, undefeated entity that […]

LeBron James thinks the free throw line is near half court

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 […]

Curry defies the laws of physics to knock down this bucket

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 […]
