When you are playing ball, whether it’s running full or just playing one-on-one, what’s your go-to move? Whatever it is, your move might be good enough to earn you $10,000. Since February, Burger King has been running the BK Next Best Move Tour, a 41-city extravaganza to find game-changers on and off the court across the United States. Read More »

Since late November a Word Doc entitled “Iverson Post” has been sitting on my desktop staring back at me waiting to be run. It was written by our own Austin Burton immediately after one of the most frustrating experiences of his professional career. Dealing with NBA athletes in general can often times be an exercise in frustration; patience that stretches beyond most normal human bounds is many times required in order to make even the most minor of interviews or photo shoots happen.

As always, we asked and you delivered. We had more than 200 responses in the comments section of the contest post and sent to our Twitter feed suggesting new names for the Charlotte Bobcats now that The G.O.A.T. is running the show.

We received a ton of strong entries from our readers, some serious, some hilarious. They were so good, we decided to give out two awards – one for the best overall name, another for the entry that made us laugh the most. So here we go (complete with honorable mention honors)… Read More »

If you’re looking for the next Eric Gordon, then look no further than United Faith Christian Academy (Charlotte, N.C.) senior Ian Miller. The 6-2 guard, who is Florida State bound, has been putting in work this season. Leading his United Faith squad to the second straight NCISAA state championship, Miller’s stock only continues to rise. Read More »

Beast of the Night: Aaron Brooks toyed with the Raptors, finishing with 28 points, 4 threes, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 turnovers. He seems to be just fine with Kevin Martin starting alongside him and should have a strong finish to a great fantasy season, thanks to a solid playoff schedule. Read More »

Last week, in the wake of the NBA Trade deadline, I put together a list of five free agents who can help your team right now. But let’s be honest: The pickings were slim. And as I said, any player who has spent time on an NBA roster this season had to be waived by March 1 in order to be eligible for the playoffs with another team. So in light of a bunch of need commodities that surfaced on the market, here’s an updated and expanded list of free agents available to the highest bidder. Read More »

I’m not going to lie. Before watching this video, I had never heard of Tahitian Noni Bioactive Beverages. But apparently they’re a big part of Chauncey Billups‘ life. Rather than other sports drinks and juices, they have bioactives (a material that has interaction with or effect on any cell tissue) that are supposed to strengthen and balance the whole body. Regardless of whether or not you believe the hype, this video about Billups’ life is kind of cool.

It used to be a fairly easy answer. If I had a son who appeared to have a future as a power forward (unlikely seeing as I’m 5-8, but that’s not the point), who would I want him to study?

Tim Duncan. Easy. That was the answer, every time.

Now it’s more complicated. What if the kid has a naturally nice jumper? Well then, there’s Dirk Nowitzki to think about. What if he’s athletic as all hell? Maybe it’s Kevin Garnett game footage. What if he grew up playing PG before a late growth spurt? Lamar Odom makes a lot of sense. Read More »

If the Cleveland team that showed up Monday night routinely shows up this May/June, there’s no way LeBron doesn’t win his first NBA championship in 2010. Yeah, they were playing the Knicks. Still, the Cavs would’ve been tough for the ’80s Pistons to stop last night with the way they passed, moved without the ball, and played D — plus everybody had an extra spring in their step like it was Midnight Madness on a college campus … LeBron (22 pts, 7 rebs, 7 asts) had about 3-4 dunks in the first quarter, then in the second he hit some other level of craziness: Read More »
