On Thursday, I had the chance to visit the offices of PEAK here in L.A. And while I was there, other than chatting with Kevin Love about my parody of NUMB#RS (which he watched and thought was hilarious), I was able to snap some pictures of his All-Star kicks for tonight’s game. Check ‘em out: Read More »

Another year, another All-Star Game, but this year seems special. Perhaps it’s because of all the Hollywood glitz and glam and the T-Mobile Magenta Carpet. Perhaps it’s because this might be Carmelo Anthony‘s last All-Star Game (or game period) in the Western Conference. Or perhaps it’s because the League has never been stocked with more young and exciting talent. Whatever it is, we’re stoked. With that, follow along with us tonight in real-time as we tweet up a storm live from Staples Center. Read More »

After the game, Blake Griffin said something in the media scrum that surprised me: “I thought the other guys did a great job, but personally I thought I could do a lot better.

Looking past the cars and the church choirs and the multiple hoops and the stuffed animals, this was the best straight-up DUNK at last night’s Slam Dunk Contest. DeMar DeRozan and Darryl Dawkins bring you “The Show Stopper.”

While Sunday night’s All-Star Game is the centerpiece of the NBA’s biggest party weekend, Saturday is almost always the most fun. Especially this year. Between TNT’s broadcast, the foolishness happening on Twitter, and Blake Griffin, there’s no way today’s game will top last night’s circus … When he wasn’t zoned out and leaving his mic on at inappropriate times, Dwight Howard assumed the task of delivering Magic Johnson‘s signature line: “The dunk contest is back!” If last night’s slamming finale wasn’t one of the best all-around dunk contests in recent memory, it was definitely one of the most entertaining.
