An awesome clip from the Jimmy Kimmel show pits Grant Hill‘s and Amar’e Stoudemire‘s knowledge of one another against that of Dahntay Jones and Birdman Andersen…

We’re pretty sure that when Courtney Lee visualized his first NBA Finals experience, this wasn’t how he thought he’d make headlines. Getting a heaping serving of blood pudding from Kobe Bryant? That honestly shouldn’t have been a stretch to see coming. But missing the biggest shot of his life and being called “The Next Nick Anderson“ for all the wrong reasons? That’s tough. In the aftermath of Lee blowing Orlando’s best chance at winning Game 2 the other night, opinions in the Dime office were split: Read More »

Here’s the deal. I received a facebook message that said the following:

“My little brother is the top 8 year old in the country and we are hoping to get some publicity is there anyway you can help?
Thank you. Below is a mixtape of my brother… thanks again”

My reply to the dude?

“Maybe the craziest thing anyone has ever asked me!!! HE’S IN 2ND GRADE!!!”

Now I’ve succumbed. So world, introducing Dime cover athlete for issue #674… The 8 year sensation… Jordan Montgomery.

Remember when all Raptors fans were in love with their team, specifically Chris Bosh? These days not so much.

There’s been a definite backlash against Bosh this past year, partly, we’re sure, out of frustration because their team was so disappointing this past season. It appears that the realization that Bosh is most likely best-suited as a second option on a good team has made him a focus of fans’ ire.

The latest example? The recent “Top Ten Reasons Chris Bosh Will Re-Sign” post on RaptorsRepublic.com: Read More »

One of our boys sent this over today. “Hedo vs. Kobe” just isn’t quite as powerful as “Michael vs. Magic” …

Yahoo-Eurosport is reporting that the Knicks and Blazers have a deal in place for almost a month that would see Sergio Rodriguez being dealt to the Knicks on Draft night. Read More »

The Pistons have been one of the teams popping up the most frequently in trade rumors over the last month or so. First, we heard that they were thinking about dealing up in order to snare B.J. Mullens within the Top 10. Now, the Pistons are rumored to be in the hunt for David Lee in a sign-and-trade with the Knicks. Read More »

Kobe had reason to be pissed during the press conference following game two. Stan Van Gundy drew up a great play that could have stolen the game, but Courtney Lee juuuuust missed.

Congratulations if you actually stuck around for the fourth quarter and overtime of Lakers/Magic, in which Kobe and crew took a 2-0 series lead in their first tough test in what seemed like weeks; If you hung in there, you were rewarded for the overall grossness of the first three quarters with some entertaining ball down the stretch … While it looked like Orlando and L.A. had been possessed by the ghosts of Mike Fratello‘s Cavs and John Chaney‘s Temple Owls, at least it was a close game all the way through.
