If you missed it last night, Derrick Rose added to his 2011 highlight reel with a one-hand spike off an alley-oop against Detroit where he hung in the air for an extra split-second and seemed like he was never coming down. In 2010, the most explosive point guard in the NBA had no shortage of memorable highlights, which are compiled here:

1.11.11. A special date, which came with a special treat as soon as the clock struck midnight. Without further ado, check out “H.A.M.” – the much anticipated first track from Watch The Throne, the forthcoming collaborative album by Kanye West and Jay-Z. And as if you needed another reason to be excited, it’s produced by Lex Luger (known for Rick Ross’ “B.M.F.” and Waka Flocka Flame’s “Hard In Da Paint”). Enjoy! Read More »

Just when you thought Carmelo Anthony should start looking for property, elementary schools and good barbers in New Jersey, the Houston Rockets have re-entered the discussion as a potential destination for ‘Melo in the seemingly inevitable trade from Denver.

Yesterday morning, several reports made it appear to be a lock ‘Melo was headed to the Nets — who, along with the Nuggets and Pistons, just had to work out some minor details of a proposed three-way trade that also involved Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton, Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, and maybe or maybe not Al Harrington, among others.

A lot of people have been clamoring to get Derrick Rose in the dunk contest, and here’s a little sample of what he can do. Check out the ridiculous one-handed alley-oop off the pass from Ronnie Brewer.

Beast of the Night: Stephen Jackson finished the night with 27 points, six rebounds, four assists, four steals, one block and three three-pointers. He shot 48 percent (11-23) from the field, 100 percent (2-2) from the line and had three turnovers. The Captain wasn’t exactly crying when Larry Brown left the Bobcats’ bench, and his on-court play has reflected that. It’ll be interesting to see how Jackson will mesh with Gerald Wallace again once Crash returns from his bothersome ankle injury. Read More »

I can already see Jerry Bruckheimer working on the script…

Maybe it was because the tease of Kevin Garnett’s return from injury turned out to be just a tease. Maybe it was because Kevin Martin (wrist) sat out as a late scratch. Maybe it was because Marquis Daniels (19 pts) led Boston in scoring and Jordan Hill played starter’s minutes for Houston. Or maybe it was because the BCS National Championship Game made it so nobody was really thinking about the NBA last night. Whatever the reason, Rockets/Celtics felt like a preseason game, and the C’s appeared appropriately disinterested … Read More »

Believe it or not, but Muggsy Bogues turned 46 years old yesterday. And while there have been NBA players standing under six-feet since he last laced them up in the 2000-01 season, I doubt there will ever be anyone 5-3 to ever do work like Muggsy did.

Since Rajon Rondo returned from his ankle injury, he has been a problem for opposing teams, with his monster 12-point, 10-rebound, 22-assist, 6-steal ripping of the Spurs last Wednesday serving as Exhibit A. Just in terms of steals, Rondo has 13 in his last three games alone.

During his 5-steal barrage against Chicago over the weekend, Rondo blew past the 60-steal mark for the season. That’s significant because it marks the next milestone in the great Boston’s Got Wings program that is being spearheaded by Rondo and Red Bull and directly benefiting the basketball playing community of Boston.

Broke. Washed-up. Has been. These are all words or phrases that have been used to describe former NBA All-Star Antoine Walker. But while people were telling ’Toine what he could and could not do, he decided he was going to go his own route and take his talents to the NBA Development League – where he’s currently averaging 17.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game for the Idaho Stampede. While his surroundings may be different out in Boise, some things remain the same. For one, Walker has reunited with Stampede assistant coach Greg Minor, whom he played with for three seasons (1996-99) in Boston. In an exclusive interview, we got up with Minor to talk about Walker’s return to the game. Read More »
