It’s tough to pick out exactly what Kevin Garnett is yelling when he’s on the sideline, even though he is articulately screaming cusses in full view of the camera. That’s partially because he drops “mothaf*cka” this and “b*tch” that so often that it draws your eye away from whatever, possibly more heinous trash talk spewing from his mouth. Read More »

If you’re a frequent visitor to Dimemag.com, by now I’m sure you’ve see the ads on the site with this guy calling himself Freddy Finals. A super D-League fan, last week Freddy was at the NBA Store and got to interview Alyssa Milano while she was there promoting her new clothing line. Freddy was so nervous, he may have even called her “Melissa Alano.”

Over the weekend, ESPN asked LeBron to list his five favorite athletes growing up. LBJ’s answers: Michael Jordan, Deion Sanders, Penny Hardaway, Emmitt Smith and … LeBron (he was joking; we think). Read More »

When the series is completely wrapped up, what are we going to remember about Game 2? There’s no doubt that Ray Allen‘s shot breathed life into Boston. This isn’t the type of team that wanted to go down 0-2 to feel the immense pressure of having to make a Red Sox-esque comeback.

Maybe it’s true that any coach can roll off 60-win regular seasons and win NBA ‘chips with Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen on his team, but Doc Rivers really deserves credit as one of the League’s best coaches at drawing up game-winning plays. Here’s another from last night, as Ray delivers the dagger against Chicago.

Facing a must-win Game 2 on their home court, the Celtics were clicking for the most part. Ray Allen shook off his Game 1 stinker, Rajon Rondo was dominant in posting a triple-double, and Big Baby played the game of his life (26 pts, 9 rebs). Boston even neutralized Derrick Rose after he torched them in Game 1. They really would have been good money and won convincingly if it wasn’t for Ben Gordon … Read More »

The Grizzlies have a golden opportunity this summer. With more cap space than 90% of the League and three draft picks (two in the first round), Memphis could turn their young, promising roster into something much more if they make the right moves. With the economy adversely affecting a lot of teams – making everyone wary of taking on new money, Memphis could seize this opportunity to get a big-time talent in exchange for a package of picks.

Until the NBA comes up with their definition of an MVP, it will always come down to a matter of criteria, to each voters’ perception of “valuable.” That’s why the 2009 race is so close. Should the trophy go to the best overall player (Kobe)? The best guy on the best team (LeBron)? The guy who had to carry the biggest load/weakest supporting cast (D-Wade)? The guy who impacted both ends of the floor more than anyone else (CP3/Dwight)? Read More »
