Lil’ Wayne‘s ESPNthemag.com blog is built on the same principle as Bill Simmons‘ columns: if you’re a maniacal fan and you’re intelligent, your opinion is worth reading.

In this blog, Wayne recaps his trip to watch the Knicks play. He really got after Quentin Richardson – “just being horrible in general,” he writes about his own actions. Read More »

I don’t know what it’s like in your office, but at Dime, whenever there is an amazing quotable line we can’t help but say it over and over. After watching Patrick Chewing probably no less than ten times yesterday, these are my top five lines of the year… Read More »

The stats were flowing last night and the following absurd performances won’t be mentioned below: Chris Paul’s triple-double, Kobe’s 37-point, 6-assist, 4-board, 4-steal show, Wade’s continued superhuman domination, Devin Harris’ 31, 12 and 7, Joe Johnson’s 31 and 9 or Dirk’s 29 and 10. Now for what we will be discussing… Read More »

It’s hard to imagine that you’re cool with someone if you exchange “Eff you”‘s for an entire quarter. But after the game, Kobe insisted that his “conversation” with Ron Artest was all gravy. “It was edgy,” Bryant said. “I would expect nothing less. He’s a competitor, I’m a competitor.

Erick Dampier has compiled a pretty impressive list of “poster-izings” – thanks to Andre Iguodala, Tracy McGrady, Jason Maxiell, Dwyane Wade, and now LaMarcus Aldridge. But even still, Dampier doesn’t have the crown as the most dunked-on Mav of all-time. He can thanks Shawn Bradley for that.
