It seems fans in Orlando who got to the arena early enough Sunday were treated to a dunk-off between Cavs’ LeBron James and Iman Shumpert. During pregame warmups, James showed off one sick between-the-legs, off-the-backboard dunk while Shumpert tossed the ball in the air only to throw it down with authority. A video posted by […]

The Clippers’ Chris Paul might be lighter in the wallet after the NBA sees a replay of this flop. Against Houston, Paul found himself heading right to James Harden as he was heading to the rim. The result, Paul tries to bait the refs into calling an offensive foul on Harden with a flop that […]

Well talk about a role reversal. During the San Antonio-Minnesota game, Spurs guard Manu Ginobili was at the free throw when the ref tossed the ball at him. However, Manu wasn’t paying attention and the ball smacked his face. The result, Manu called a technical foul on the ref.

Although I wouldn’t know, I am sure there’s nothing like posterizing someone. Knowing you humiliated them in front of thousands of people, with the adrenaline pumping, and knowing you just overpowered another human. Yes I am sure one can get very hyped after such feat which is probably why the Hawks’ Dennis Schroder upped the […]

Because the regular season is way too long, because the West is beyond every basketball fan’s wildest dreams, because the Mark Cuban/Rick Carlisle/Dirk Nowitzki train has been chugging along longer than any organizational foundation outside of San Antonio and because Rajon Rondo attracts blame like super models attract teenage boys. These are among the many reasons the […]

NBA players usually have their pregame warm-ups which includes stretching, sprints, a few laps, and more to loosen up the muscles and get warm before tip-off. Usually coaches don’t get loose before games, but the Clippers’ Doc Rivers needed to get his neck warmed up as well and went to town on the bench as […]

NBA legend Karl Malone knew how to dunk the ball with style as he would hit the air, put his hand behind his head and tomahawk the ball right through the basket. It was his signature dunk and Eric Griffin of the D-League’s Texas Legends paid tribute to “The Mailman” in a recent game versus […]

It took just six seasons, but Clippers center DeAndre Jordan nailed his first career three-pointer versus Dallas. Jordan had gone 0-7 prior to tonight’s three but from the video below, he showed off he can hit the deep shot even when he’s a couple more feet beyond the arch. See, he is more than just […]

Oh man! During the Kings-Hornets game, the ball went sailing out of bounds and into the stands where one Hornets fan found out what a basketball tastes like. Instead of paying attention to the game, this fan was too busy checking on a cell phone and had no idea the ball was on a trajectory with […]
Kevin Durant is not going to play for this man, and even if he’s fired at the end of the season, that will surely be much too late to change KD’s mind. No star player is going to look at Scott’s handling of D’Angelo Russell and conclude that the Lakers are a good place to chase championships.

At a current record of 17-46, the Lakers are all but eliminated from the postseason, even though they were practically eliminated from the playoffs since Game 1 of their season. No Kobe Bryant, no Julius Randle, and a roster full of players who don’t have the chops to lead L.A. to the playoffs, all but […]

Revisiting old drafts is an intoxicating habit for any sports dweeb fan. The 2013 NBA draft class has been fascinating to watch for this reason — it’s less than two years later and the entire lottery would be ripped up and thrown out if the GMs (and former GMs) could do it all over again. It’s […]

99 percent of basketball fans this season wouldn’t know the Pacers’ record if you gave them three guesses. That’s what happens when Paul George, one of basketball’s great talents, goes down with a freak injury, derailing a perennial contender’s chances before the season starts. But wait! With Indiana’s 118-86 thrashing of Orlando on Tuesday, the […]

At 7’0″, 255 pounds, you would think the Raptors’ Jonas Valanciunas would intimidate anyone who dared to drive to the rim. I mean look what he did to the Cleveland Cavs’ LeBron James! But even though Jonas slammed to the court LeBron, didn’t intimidate Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard as he flew right at the big man and […]

It seems the Thunder aren’t too worried about their postseason lives as the team looks relaxed and in good spirits courtesy of Steven Adams and Mitch McGary. While in the team gym, Adams and McGary showed off their sweet dance moves and when I say they got into the music, they REALLY got into the […]
