Even though he isn’t the biggest dude around, I think that Kenyon Martin is one of the last people in the League who I’d want to get mad.
Before the Nuggets/Magic game last night, K-Mart was mad about the last time they played Orlando, when the Magic were still hoisting three’s to extend the final margin to 106-88.
“Guys remembered it,” Martin said. “And me and Chauncey reminded guys before the game that that’s what it was. It was personal tonight. Guys put that in the back of their mind, and we knew what we had to come out and do.”
Quick ‘n dirty Smack this morning; With ’09 All-Star Weekend upon us, the Dime crew has some early-early schedules to keep to make it into Phoenix for all the action. Over the next four days, though, keep DimeMag.com on your screen, as we’ll be live-blogging everything going down at All-Star. From the parties to the media events to the competition itself, we’re gonna be all over it as usual, better than anyone else in the game … Although Steve Nash was given the night off for Suns/Cavs, Mo Williams was dropping buckets like he was going against the ghost of Nash. Whether it was Barbosa or J-Rich, they just kept letting Mo shoot; and when they did pretend to D-up, he’d call for a pick on whatever side of the floor Shaq was on, and drill jumper after jumper as Shaq refused to step out on him. Mo went off for 44 points (18-26 FG, 7 threes) in a blowout win, as the Cavs once again looked invincible at home … Shaq got a Flagrant-1 when he literally just stuck his arm in the air and let Anderson Varejao bounce off him on a drive. Another one of those calls that was made only because of how Varejao hit the ground, not because of anything Shaq did. Read More »
This is hilarious. Check out Lamar Odom teaming up with one of the biggest moguls out there, Rob Dyrdek. Shout out to the whole Takeout crew… J Riz, Sneaker Steve, LO.
The reaction I got at the time was, let’s just say, not encouraging: “Fuck this ignorance,” “Can’t you write anything sensible?” “Seriously, this article is plain stupid,” “How freaking stupid is Austin?” were some of the comments. Read More »

We hit you with this rumor a little ways back, but now it’s apparently taken the next step towards being a real possibility.
The Portland Trail Blazers have made a strong play for Amare Stoudemire, discussing a package that includes LaMarcus Aldridge, Jerryd Bayless, and Raef LaFrentz‘s $12.7 million expiring contract, a person with direct knowledge of the talks told CBSSports.com Tuesday.

Remember the commercial featuring Kobe Bryant, Tony Hawk, Michael Phelps, and Alex Rodriguez? Well, looks like Tony Hawk is the only guy who has managed to avoid a public scandal.
Real talk, I don’t like either squad. I am a fan of many players that have played at these schools. Guys like Vince Carter, Rashad McCants, Jay Williams, and Carlos Boozer all were favorites of mine. My thing with the both of these programs is that they just keep reloading! I am a Syracuse fan and while their recruiting classes are never shabby…they’re never like Duke and UNC. Read More »

In case you haven’t already heard, J.R. Smith will be replacing Rudy Gay (who’s out with a left hip flexor strain) in the 2009 Sprite Slam Dunk Contest. The last time J.R. was in the competition, he pulled off a nasty, behind-the-back flush but ended up losing to Josh Smith.
