Mick Boogie, known for his dope DJ sets and amazing mixtapes, is also an avid basketball fan and a video game junkie. With the recent phenomenon of 90s style coming back in the form of snapback caps and retro team jackets, along with the return of the classic 90s arcade game NBA JAM, Mick was inspired to put together a mixtape of classic 90s joints that serve as the soundtrack to where we were back in the day. With that said, make sure you come back to DimeMag.com tomorrow at noon for the exclusive world premiere of ’93 ‘Til Infinity. You won’t want to miss it. Read More »
Today we celebrate Veterans Day (or Remembrance Day for my Canadian brothers), a day commemorating those military veterans who fought valiantly for the freedom of our respective nations. On a day we honor those brave war heroes, I thought it would only be fitting to acknowledge another kind of veteran who goes into battle on a nightly basis: the NBA vet. Setting the benchmark at 34-plus (sorry Greg Oden, looking old doesn’t count), I decided to examine those NBA patriarchs who like a fine wine, have grown better – or at least not much worse – with age.

When it’s crunch time for the Thunder, you can bet on OKC head coach Scott Brooks demanding that Kevin Durant gets the ball with room to operate and the floor spaced correctly.

Check it out after the jump. Read More »
“Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted. One moment. Would you capture it, or just let it slip?”
This is the questioned posed by one of the greatest rags to riches stories of my generation. Eminem was faced with this choice when it came to stepping in front of the mic, but now with the NBA season underway and some key players injured, some guys are faced with this question on the hardwood.

It’s a little early to break out the Run-TMC nostalgia — or even relics from the Baron/J-Rich heyday — but the Golden State Warriors are hot right now. Last night’s win over the Knicks puts G-State at 6-2 on the young season, as the team ranks 5th in the NBA in scoring offense while Monta Ellis is 2nd in individual scoring (27.1 ppg) and David Lee is 5th in rebounding (11.3 rpg).
In the visitor’s locker room at Madison Square Garden, I got up with some of the team’s key reserves — guard Reggie Williams, swingman Rodney Carney and forward Brandan Wright — to get a look inside one of the most interesting teams in the League: Read More »
Despite a solid win last night in Sacramento, the 2-7 Timberwolves need point guard help. Fast. After offseason hip surgery, Jonny Flynn has yet to play a game and is still one to three weeks away from returning. Luke Ridnour is out at least a week with a hamstring injury. And that leaves Sebastian Telfair as the only healthy PG on the roster. Yes, Bassy did look good last night, but the T-Wolves are looking to bring in some replacements. Read More »
You may have seen this video of Allen Iverson‘s mere presence igniting an instant pep rally at a Turkish soccer match floating around on the web yesterday. 32,000+ people spontaneously chanting and singing for A.I. seems like a natural follow up to this.
We introduced y’all to Levi Maestro about a month ago on the site, and have been fans for much longer than that. In his most recent episode of Maestro Knows, follow him and Tyreke Evans on an off day in Los Angeles as they head to EA Sports for some NBA JAM and then out to the court as ‘Reke tries to assist Maestro’s long-awaited efforts towards a dunk.
