I could have sworn that was KB8 out there… Also, check after the jump to see Kobe’s other ridiculous dunk from last night, this time on Trevor Ariza.

Hey Kobe Bryant, weren’t you supposed to be injured? If Chris Paul is the master of flopping and drawing ridiculous fouls than KB is the ultimate injury-milker. L.A. dodged a bullet in Game 5 against the Hornets, withstood a lights-out start from N.O. to run away by 16 in the second half. L.A. dominated inside with Andrew Bynum (18 points, 10 rebounds), and after an explosive first quarter where we thought he might even top his Game 4 numbers, CP slowed down … Read More »

I’m always wondering what types of music NBA players listen to during the playoffs. I could see someone like Tyler Hansbrough just head-bobbing and fist-pumping to some intense trance. Who knows, maybe Kurt Thomas listens to Pops Stoppers.

Why compare hip-hop groups mostly from the golden ages of the 1980s and 90s to teams? Mostly because it’s much harder to compare NBA players to people like Ke$ha and Young Chris since I only listen to those artists when I’m out making bad decisions. I do love stacking racks on racks on racks though. Read More »

With yesterday’s decisive 104-86 victory over San Antonio, the Memphis Grizzlies now find themselves on the verge of becoming just the second eight-seed to ever defeat a No. 1 in a seven-game series. Suffice to say, the Grizz – who went 46-36 during the regular season – have shocked the nation while going up 3-1 on the Spurs. And if they can finish this thing out, it would also be the franchise’s first-ever series victory in the playoffs. This is all sans their star small forward, Rudy Gay, whose season ended early due to a shoulder injury.

As Memphis continues to click on all cylinders against the Western Conference’s top team, it got us reminiscing about another 1-8 first round matchup: Dallas vs. Golden State in 2007. Read More »

Yesterday, I posted the Nike Air Max Hyperdunk 2010 designed for Richard Jefferson. Earlier today it was Al Horford. But with the Bulls taking on the Pacers tonight, I thought you might want to see a colorway made exclusively for Carlos Boozer. Check ‘em out: Read More »

No one grows up wanting to be the next Jeff Foster. I’m sorry, but it’s true. Kids grow up wanting to play at Duke or North Carolina and become the next Kobe Bryant or LeBron James; not attend Southwest Texas State and average five points per game for their career. All-Star Games, MVP awards, endorsement deals, these are what kids aspire towards. You know, the good life. But at 34 years old, Foster lives that too. And 12 seasons and almost $50 million later, he’s leaving his mark on another playoff series. Read More »

Kettlebell. I feel like Charles Barkley can’t shut up about those things during these playoffs. We knew he was working out. But now, there’s video evidence of the man doing hang cleans. And the lady in this video that Charles is working out with? Beast.

Chicago will probably close out their first-round series tonight at home against the Pacers, but things haven’t exactly gone the way they were expected to. They’ve struggled to zoom past Indiana, having to come-from-behind in nearly every game against a 37-win team, and in Game 4 that finally came back to bite them.

Take away a big Game 2 (17 points, 16 rebounds) and Carlos Boozer has been perhaps the most disappointing Bull in this series. Take away that Game 2 and he’s only averaging 10.3 points. The rebounding is still there. It has to be, especially in a series where the Bulls are shooting under 40 percent from the field and Indiana isn’t much better at 41 percent. But offensively, he’s lost. Read More »
