Beyond the sting of letting Carlos Boozer come into their house and get a win — nobody was really booing Ronnie Brewer or Kyle Korver — the Utah Jazz are hurting because they know they did everything possible to give last night’s game away to the Bulls … In the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, Al Jefferson and Andrei Kirilenko missed huge free throws on a night where the Jazz went 11-for-21 at the stripe. With one minute left, Derrick Rose (29 pts, 7 asts, 1 TO) lost Deron Williams on a sick behind-the-back crossover and missed the shot, but he ran D-Will down from behind and stole the ball before Utah could set up their offense.

After watching H (Kevin Hart) introduce the Air Jordan 2011, and test the “rocket shoe” prototype, check out what happens when he and his associates Quick and Explosive test the interchangeable cushioning technology. You know, for things like laser grids and erupting metal plates.
I had seen the games on TV, read about them in the newspaper, and listened to Dick Vitale rant and rave about how “there’s no better rivalry in college sports.” But I truly didn’t understand the magnitude of the Duke-North Carolina rivalry until I physically stepped foot in Chapel Hill.

If you didn’t get a chance to read Peter Vecsey’s article on Blake Griffin in today’s New York Post, you should take some time to do so. Amongst other things, the most interesting nugget is that Blake wanted to be a Green Beret following the Oklahoma City bombing, and that’s where his compulsions began – even though he claims he is “not OCD.” Read More »
It would appear though, that some BYU/Jimmer fans have taken their hero-worship to new, frightening levels. For example, this “You’ve Been Jimmered Music Video” starring none other than Shawn Bradley and former Philadelphia Eagle Chad Lewis, both wearing wigs, pretending to play instruments and singing about Jimmer over Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive” (We caught it on this post from The Big Lead yesterday):

Having had the privilege of taking part in the “Ophidiophobia” viral spot for the Nike Zoom Kobe VI – and actually see a black mamba snake in person – I gotta say, I wasn’t that impressed. Sure it produces deadly venom and travels at blazing speeds, but so what; it has no personality. With that said, owing to the hype surrounding Kobe’s Black Mamba moniker at an all-time high, I decided to take a look at five players besides Kobe who are deserving of reptilian designation.

It appears Carmelo Anthony isn’t the only player on Denver that teams are interested in. According to Marcus Thompson II of the Oakland Tribune, the Warriors (who play the Nuggets tonight) have inquired about Nene to help get some scoring from their frontline that currently consists of David Lee, Andris Biedrins and Brandan Wright.
