If you thought there were enough sick Foamposite colorways out there, think again. Nike is coming through with even more, and had a Metallic Silver/Crimson colorway saved up for a September release. But earlier today, rapper Bun B unveiled the never-before-seen sneaker by tweeting out a few photos. The silver base and crimson red accents give this sneaker a decidedly unique feel. Read More »

The Spurs were supposed to be dead two years ago. Tim Duncan was too. But in just a few months, they’ve gone from an afterthought to a probable champion, an undefeated playoff team led by one player who may turn out to be one of the three greatest ones ever. Yes, Duncan could one day be above everyone outside of Bill Russell and Michael Jordan. It’s not out of the question, especially if San Antonio has more rings left in it. He’s not finished, it turns out, and thus we have a rekindled interest, the proverbial stories on what exactly Tim Duncan meant to us. Who was he? Duncan never let us in on much, but at least we now know he hates Kevin Garnett. Read More »

Along the same lines as that bro who wanted to express himself as the only living member of Spurs Nation by getting Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili etched into his haircut as well as the girl who felt the need to cover herself in Gary Payton glory, we have here another crazy fan.

When Derrick Rose took an awkward fall in the fourth quarter of the Bulls’ first playoff game this year, and was sprawled out on the United Center floor grabbing at his knee, Chicago fans knew their season was through. What they didn’t know, or couldn’t know at the time, is that next year might be over before it even begins. The doctor who performed surgery on Rose’s left knee, team physician Dr. Brian Cole, spoke with the media yesterday about what to expect from Rose next season. Not all of it was encouraging.

John Wall was a basketball beast last offseason, relentlessly pursuing competition all over the country in order to improve his own game. This year, while the NBA is still mid-playoffs, Wall is already back at it.

Check out this video of Wall playing pickup ball and destroying a defender on the very first play of the game: Read More »

Greg Oden never had much of an NBA season, let alone career. Miami in the LeBron James-Chris Bosh-Dwyane Wade era has never had much of a center. Today the two meet after a report says Oden is eyeing Miami as a comeback landing pad, and sooner than has been thought for his recovery. Here’s why the Heat should never consider an offer.   Read More »

I don’t know the exact statistics, but I’m betting most of the fans who tuned into “Inside The NBA” to see the scheduled shirt-off last night between Shaq and Charles Barkley were macho tough guys. That doesn’t quite make sense. This was funny though, mostly because it’s hard to imagine these guys used to be unreal athletes (even though Shaq is in pretty good shape). Hopefully this is a wake-up call to some people because as Chuck says so eloquently, “There’s too many fat asses out there.” Read More »

Not long before they were choking in the clutch and trying to get Mario Chalmers to bail them out, LeBron and Dwyane Wade were styling on the Pacers, particularly on this play. James gets caught in the air – just as you’re taught to never do – then finds Wade who immediately taps it back to him for the bucket. If only they could pull this off with 10 seconds left in the game. Read More »

It seemed obvious that from every angle — and the networks were kind enough to show several — that Dwyane Wade made a better open field tackle than any of the Miami Dolphins’ safeties last season. It seemed obvious that a Flagrant 1 would be assessed to him, as it was. What puzzled me, then was why it seemed that Wade and his teammates blew their cool in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semis, at home, to a Pacer team that’s ornery but hardly a juggernaut.

Indiana gave the Heat enough chances, missing more freebies than a Ben Wallace practice session, and yet the two best players in the world (supposedly) couldn’t finish the job. At home. With mismatches all over the court. The Pacers worked off a terrible first half to tie the series up with their 78-75 Game 2 win, which didn’t become official until Miami let Mario Chalmers seal their fate in the closing seconds (this ain’t college). Down three, South Beach’s starting point guard and LeBron‘s personal whipping boy decided it was his time, and lofted up a triple that was too ugly to have a chance. Read More »
