In the grand scheme which is the 2011-2012 NBA season, Avery Bradley’s flush over potential league MVP Kevin Durant will result in nothing more than a minor footnote. Read the rest of this entry »

Russell Westbrook isn’t the “ideal” point guard many prefer seeing. I’m pretty sure he couldn’t care less as long as he can scrape the ceiling before barely planting his feet. Forget calling this liftoff against the Kings last night “impressive.” It’s one of those dunks which reminds you life just isn’t fair. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a great week for dunks, to say the least. LeBron James jumped over John Lucas III on Sunday. Blake Griffin “Mozgov’d” Kendrick Perkins just a day later. But there’s no rest for the NBA faithful – the highlights just keep coming. Read the rest of this entry »

Just a day after LeBron cleared John Lucas in a single bound, Blake Griffin single handedly broke the Internet and made SportsCenter his own personal playhouse by baptizing Thunder center Kendrick Perkins. Read the rest of this entry »

Just a random round-up of the weekend’s above the rim action starring John Wall with co-star Charlotte’s Tyrus Thomas, JaVale McGee on DeSagana Diop and Tyrus Thomas (again), Tyreke Evans over Earl Watson Read the rest of this entry »

In the first half of Sunday’s matchup between the Heat and Bulls, Dwyane Wade throws up the pass, LeBron catches the oop…and John Lucas becomes a very important footnote in highlights history. Read the rest of this entry »

“‘Dre is such an unselfish guy on offense,” Sixers coach Doug Collins said of his shooting guard Andre Iguodala after Saturday night’s 95-74 win against the Pistons. On the same night he was celebrating his 28th birthday, Iguodala put in a triple-double with 10 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds, including this gift to himself off the glass for a dunk.

Just another night in South Beach as the Heat pounced on the Knicks, winning by a final score of 99-89. LeBron James finished with 31 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists while D. Wade pitched in 28 points in his first game back from a sprained right ankle. Read the rest of this entry »

Rudy Gay only had 11 points in the Grizzlies Tuesday night loss to the Trailblazers, but four of those points were highlight reel worthy since he notched them up in a mere 12 seconds Read the rest of this entry »

I’ll wager the video below will probably be the most bad ass thing the Internuts produces today and everything else will be downhill. Boomer, the Indiana Pacers mascot, performs a dunk show at a local high school and completely demolishes Read the rest of this entry »

C.J. Miles is a role player, bouncing between the starting lineup and the bench for the Utah Jazz. Few casual fans know his name. He plays in Utah, so off the top, no one thinks he’s cool. But luckily for us, he isn’t willing to accept this lack of notoriety. Read the rest of this entry »

While formulating our predictions prior to the season, one that was thrown around – that ultimately didn’t make the cut – was Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio and the Minnesota Timberwolves being one of the more exciting teams this season to not make the playoffs. And thus far during this still young season, they’re just that. Read the rest of this entry »

Kenneth Faried’s finish, fundamentally, is the craziest part of this clip. The young man from Morehead State scored his first two NBA points in spectacular fashion Wednesday night in the team’s 110-83 victory over the Sacramento Kings, rising up to dunk a ball that was, as the Nuggets’ color-commentator says, floating up by the square on the backboard.

The logical basketball fan in me says: it’s the first preseason game, the Lakers still have Kobe Bryant which is enough at least for a playoff spot and, if I haven’t mentioned it, this was the first damn preseason game. However, the knee-jerk reaction in me says, “WELCOME TO LOB CITY, B*TCH!!” Read the rest of this entry »

One day someone will make some inspirational documentary or 30 for 30 special about the six months in which the streets took back basketball. Kevin Durant became legendary. John Wall cemented his legacy no matter if he ends up an NBA All-Star or a draft bust. And LeBron somehow still got criticized at every turn. Read the rest of this entry »
