The most famous dunk of 2009 revealed, and Blake Griffin officially becomes a Clipper

LeBron James

As predictable as the mainstream media/gossip page hype was concerning the now-infamous Jordan Crawford-on-LeBron dunk tape (“OMG!! Lebron got dunked on by an AMATEUR!!”), even more predictable was the fact that when the dunk was finally revealed to the public, it would be supremely anticlimactic. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out HERE … Long non-story short, it was a two-hander that Crawford caught while cutting through the lane while LeBron came over from the right side just a little too late. Nothing you haven’t seen LeBron do to 50 random guys around the League, but of course it got blown up 10-fold because of the LePruder Film controversy. Read More »

Wizards: Crashing the 2010 postseason party

Antawn Jamison

When I wrote yesterday that the Bucks would be one of the NBA’s teams to watch next season, a lot of readers got me wrong. I never said the Bucks would be good — only that they’d be (finally) worth watching in terms of entertainment value. Remember, I spent all of last season following the Pacers, a team that put points on the board, played an exciting brand of basketball, and found itself in a bunch of down-to-the-wire games. Indiana lost most of them and wound up in the Lottery, but they were still fun to watch. Milwaukee can be that team in ’09-10.

Besides, if I were gonna try to sell you on an Eastern Conference team that will make a resurgence and shoot its way into playoff contention, it’d be the Wizards. Read More »
