Take That Blake Griffin! (Video)
Yeah, we all know by now that Blake Griffin dunked over a car at the 2011 Sprite Slam Dunk Contest. Big whoop de-do! After all, he only jumped over the front hood. And could he have picked a smaller car? I’ll bet 95% of the league could jump over the hood of a 2011 Kia [...]

Kevin Love entered last night’s game against the Golden State Warriors on an impressive streak that has seen him record a double-double in 45 consecutive game. It took him less than a half to make it 46 games in a row as Love not only kept his streak going, but he did so in a [...]

Chris Bosh Flops Following A Phantom Elbow (Video)
You could have put Chris Bosh in a soccer uniform last night and the Miami Heat forward wouldn’t have looked even the slightest bit out of place, thanks to a rather embarrassing flop he took while defending the Chicago Bulls’ Carlos Boozer.

Picture Of The Day: NBA All-Star Weekend, a.k.a. Black Thanksgiving?
So does this mean I spent my “Black Thanksgiving” watching Blake Griffin dunk over a Kia Optima and Kobe Bryant dominate the Eastern Conference in front of a sellout crowd at the Staples Center? No Turkey? No stuffing? No cranberry sauce and sweet potato pie? Am I the only one who was unaware of this [...]

DeRozen, McGee And Griffin’s Dunks Can Now Be Seen In Super Slow Motion (Videos)
Saturday night’s Sprite Slam Dunk Contest may have been one of the most entertaining contests since Vince Carter dazzled us with five incredible dunks in 2000. Whether it was DeMar DeRozen’s “Showstopper”, JaVale McGee’s two ball dunk, Serge Ibaka’s jump from the free-throw line or Blake Griffin’s dunk over a car, there were plenty of [...]

9 Things Blake Griffin Should Jump Over At Next Year’s Dunk Contest
Jumping over a car ain’t so great. Don’t misunderstand though: Blake Griffin is great. In what’s essentially his rookie year, he has been the poster boy for excitement in a league that offers a lot of excitement to begin with. So what’s so exciting about hurdling a compact(ish) car? A Kia, nonetheless? Nothing. There’s nothing [...]

Kobe Bryant Is “The Black Mamba” (Video Directed By Robert Rodriguez)
Most believe that Kobe Bryant’s MVP performance at the 2011 NBA All-Star Game last night was influenced by his desire to put on a show in front of the hometown crowd at the Staple Center. That seems like the logical explanation, but what if there was something else causing Kobe to put forth such a [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 2/20/11 — Kobe Bryant
Playing in front of the hometown crowd at the Staples Center, Kobe Bryant had only two things on his mind once they tipped-off the 2011 NBA All-Star Game; win the game and capture honors as the Most Valuable Player. Not only would he accomplish both feats, but he would do so in a rather impressive [...]

9 Insane Dunks You Have to See to Believe (Videos)
As you know, yesterday was the NBA All-Star Game, and like all All-Star games, no one really gives a sh*t. After all, it’s meaningless.

The Stat Line Of The Night — 2/17/11 — Derrick Rose
In a battle between two of the NBA’s best teams, it was a career-best performance from the NBA’s best point guard that would prove to be the difference. The San Antonio Spurs have three great guards of their own in Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Gary Neal, but they were no match for the Chicago [...]

J.J. Redick Gets His Ankles Broken…Again! (Video)
The Orlando Magic’s J.J. Redick showed an incredible amount of courage last night when he continued to play despite suffering his second broken ankle this month. Of course, when we say “broken ankle” we are talking about basketball’s version of the injury, which inflicts more pain on one’s self-esteem than on their actual ankle. The [...]
