Great Draft last night. And I’m not just saying that because my C’s ended up with Ray Allen and somehow still have both Gerald Green and Al Jefferson on their squad. The draft had it all: two major trades, a couple of surprise picks (Philly will be psyched with Thad Young. I’m not being sarcastic […]

We’ve mentioned it before but Unk has been doing some great stuff lately. We heard about these last week and they came out great. Check out the UNK NBA Draft tees featuring Durant or Oden (one of which was signed by KD last night). The tees are available at Finish Line, the NBA Store, nbastore.com […]

The dust has settled. NBA fans around the world woke up this morning either elated, disgusted or indifferent about what their favorite team did last night. How should you feel? We tell you right here …
Atlanta Hawks (A) – They needed a point guard, and they got one in Acie Law. Don’t be surprised if […]

Just on hype alone, it’s gonna be tough for any member of this year’s NBA Draft class to crack the Greg Oden/Kevin Durant argument for Rookie of the Year in 2008. It wasn’t like that one year ago. The ‘06 class was (justifiably, it turned out) seen as a weak crop, but it […]

The Draft Board
I went to one of the most unique and bad-ass hoop party/event/gallery opening last night. Check out the premise:
Our boy Chris Isenberg from No Mas (dope clothing line) did crazy digital renderings of headshots of every NBA lottery pick from 1985 to 1995. The headshots were all from the year they were drafted […]

KG knows what you should do…
In honor of the draft, Dime is offering discounted subscriptions for a limited time. Act now and you can receive a year of Dime for only seven bucks! That means huge savings off the cover price and Dime magazine in your mailbox nine times per year. This offer won’t last, […]

Welcome to the crush, Yi…
For whatever reason, I really like NBA Draft Media Day, where all of the Green Room Guys and a bunch of media from around the world gather in a hotel ballroom to trade cookie-cutter questions, cookie-cutter answers, fake laughs and — every now and then — some decent material. Reporters and […]

The Dime Crew and Bobbito Garcia just got back from a sneak preview of Jordan Brand’s Fall line of kicks and gear. Because of sensitive release dates, we can’t really show or talk about anything we saw today, but just know that as with all things MJ, the line is hot.
Our favorite though? The […]

The NBA offseason — especially Draft week — is always a time for tons of trade rumors, but this year definitely feels like there are more rumors and bigger names floating around than ever. Just a few weeks ago we were all sitting around the office talking about how it’s crazy that Jason […]
