On Vince Carter, Allen Iverson And The 2001 NBA Playoffs

05.06.11 Written by J. Tinsley

So far, the 2011 NBA Playoffs have been a gargantuan sized melting pot of WTF. First, the Grizzlies fooled everyone into thinking they were an eight seed and then knocked off the top ranked San Antonio (Geritol) Spurs.

Dr. Funk Is Still Making House Calls

02.22.10 Written by S.Cadet

Pundits will tell you Mr. Carter’s athletic ability has been on the decline for years. But every once in awhile he’ll hit you with a Roy Jones Jr. “Y’all Musta Forgot!”-brand dunk that puts him back on the radar. Such is true of his latest triumph over the Cleveland LeBrons Cavaliers yesterday. The Magic managed to rally and bring home the dub after Vince’s throwdown. The kicker here is seeing Vareflop getting the poster treatment. Too bad Delonte “WIYAH HANGAH!!” West had to get involved. Read the rest of this entry »

“The Greatest Dunk Never Made…”

02.12.09 Written by MZ

I love when February rolls around and basketball starts to get serious.

It’s especially engaging in college basketball when teams start jockeying for league titles and tournament seeds. I rep Ohio State to death, but when it comes to basketball they share my loyalty with North Carolina. Last night, the Tar Heels went up against their arch-rival Duke and it was another great game.
