“For each one of these delicious chocolate chip cookies, there is an equally delicious NBA championship ring… One for each chocolatey cookie!”

It’s now safe to say that I’m not that only one that has Birdman fever. After his custom jersey was the top-selling one for the month of April, NBAStore.com introduced a Chris Andersen t-shirt for their “Where Amazing Happens” t-shirt line. Read More »

One of our guys Tweeted it best: “Aaron Brooks, please give Chris Paul his swag back.” As he’s become known for doing this series, Brooks carved up any point guard Phil Jackson put in front of him, dropping 26 points in Houston’s win over the Lakers last night to force Game Seven. So now we know that with this injury-racked version of the Rockets, as Brooks goes, they go. Read More »

When I woke up this morning I noticed the same headline on a bunch of different NBA news services. It went something like this: “Warriors New GM Is Not a Puppet Under Nelson’s Control.” Needless to say, whenever new leadership is presented to the public as NOT being a puppet, that person is 100% under someone else’s control. It works like that every time.

It didn’t even take a full day to confirm those initial suspicions. Word out of Golden State is that new GM Larry Riley, who is getting paid less than every other GM in the League, wants to make a push to get Chris Bosh from the Raptors. Read More »

Clearly this girl sees more in Joakim Noah than his mop of hair, sideburn/cheek hair lines, and lion-like growl. We plucked this from one of our favorite sites, What Would Tyler Durden Do?, where he penned this post “Guess Which One is Rich.” There’s always the outside chance that’s the reason why this girl is topless and hugging Noah as if he were a life vest.

The moment that we’ve all been waiting for is (almost) here. John Wall has been leading Kentucky, Duke, Florida, Miami, Baylor, NC State, and Memphis fans on for months now, promising that he’d cut his list from 7. Though he didn’t officially declare for one of the schools, it looks as though he’s narrowed his list down to two. High School Hoop has the full scoop.

Front-running or not, Charles Barkley‘s assertion last night that Carmelo Anthony is the best “pure scorer” in the NBA undoubtedly started a few water-cooler arguments this morning.

Although everybody has their own definition of the exact term, there’s really only a dozen or so guys who even deserve consideration: Pierce, LeBron, Dirk, Carmelo, Granger, Kobe, D-Wade, Durant, Joe Johnson, T-Mac, B-Roy, Kevin Martin, Tony Parker and Arenas. Assuming everyone’s healthy, of course.

Is ‘Melo on top of that list? If not, where does he rank in the Top 10? Discuss …

I didn’t think that Jason Kidd‘s 19-point, 9-assist night was deserving of criticism. In fact, after he sunk his fifth trey I remember thinking that he could prolong his career if he adds a more consistent three-ball to his game. Even if he shot three’s like he did during these playoffs (44.6% 3FG, 2.1 three’s per game) he’d give himself value for years to come. Sure he got carved up by Chauncey Billups for 28 points and 12 boards, but Big Shot has been doing that to everyone put in front of him recently.

Despite Kidd’s solid showing, Charles Barkley came out today saying that Kidd’s days of glory are over with. Read More »

While ESPN’s Chris McKendry was reporting on Corie Blount‘s day in court live on SportsCenter, watch her reaction when she reads how many pounds of marijuana he was found with and claimed for personal use. Hilarious.
