Wasting no time for Cavs fans to get excited this summer, the NBA has rolled out Shaquille O’Neal’s new No. 33 Cleveland Cavaliers jersey. While his Suns jersey was ranked No. 14 on the NBA’s Most Popular Jersey List at the end of the season, it’s safe to say that Shaq’s new threads will top the charts this summer. Read More »

For weeks we heard that we’d have to wait until after Lance Stephenson‘s June 29th court date was settled to get back to the recruitment business. But there’s a rumor circulating before his sexual assault case is adjourned in court today that “Born Ready” will be headed to Cincinnati.

Word is that the Bearcats leapfrogged Arizona, Memphis and Florida International, and we could hear about a commitment as early as tomorrow. Check out the rest of the story HERE.

After back-to-back championships, you might say that the Florida Gators haven’t been playing too well for the past couple years. But you definitely can’t say that about Nick Calathes.

Real_Ron_Artest isn’t actually Ron Artest. It’s a genius tweet platform from guys at Style Points Blog, who say all of the outlandish crap that you wish Ron-Ron would say publicly. But it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that someone who tweets “King of Pop, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays…bad week to be black, female, or have a beard.

In the final episode of the Jonny Flynn Dime Draft Diary, the journey becomes complete. From the nerves prior to the draft to the reaction immediately after being drafted to a little bit of insight on how the Rubio situation may turn out, Jonny never stops smiling and sharing exactly what he’s thinking with the Dime viewer.

Big thanks to Jonny for making this diary a huge success. If you haven’t been watching, make sure you check them out. Jonny is incredibly honest on camera and easy to become a fan of. He saved the best for last though.

Apologies to Al Jefferson, Kevin Love, Corey Brewer and anyone else who planned to get a serving of easy buckets in Minnesota, but with each passing day it’s looking more and more like Ricky Rubio won’t be suiting up for your squad. (Forgive Jonny Flynn and Sebastian Telfair if they’re not as upset about it.) Rubio skipping the Wolves’ rookie introduction press conference was the first bad omen, and this weekend was flooded with talk of the Knicks putting on the full-court press to get Minnesota to give up Rubio since he’s not exactly eager to play there.
