Now, thanks to Twitter, we have the latest from the girl who recently gave Sebastian Telfair buckets. Check it out in all its glory after the jump. Read More »

The Miami Heat’s shortcomings last season were well-documented. That said, it should do nothing to diminish the fact that this time has some serious fantasy firepower. Aside from the Big Three, there is some residual value to be had on this squad. Whenever the NBA starts up again, fantasy owners would do well to keep a close eye on which players the Heat adds to its roster, and which of its free agents it chooses to re-sign. It’s very possible that this team will have a whole new batch of role players once its retooling is over with. Read More »

From what we’ve heard, Deron Williams has been shaky in his first few regular season games in Turkey (here is footage of his first preseason game). This was the very first one against Dexia Mons-Hainaut (Belgian) and while Williams finished with 15 points and nine dimes in a 78-70 win, he shot just 3-15 from the field.

The meetings basically ended when the owners low-balled the players with an offer of 47 percent of the basketball related income, down from the 57 percent in the previous CBA, and still much lower than the player’s offer of 53 percent … Read More »

Being a fanatical O.J. Mayo fan (When I first interned at Dime, I got hyped at the site of the “vault.” I knew I could finally go back in time and rediscover the old Juice cover that I hadn’t seen in three years…), it was only natural that I was seduced by the mystic of Bill Walker’s hops. You could call it osmosis; watch enough Mayo videos – and I certainly did – and eventually you’ll find yourself saying “Wow, they say that other guy is the best high school dunker ever, but all I ever really see are windmills.” It was one of those things where you didn’t really see it, but so many people swore to it and claimed to have eyewitness accounts that you just had to believe it.

Jeff Teague was lost on the bench for most of his first two years in Atlanta before stepping up in the playoffs (11.8 ppg, 3.5 apg) to end last season. Still, so far this summer Teague has gone largely unnoticed, overshadowed by bigger personalities. But as the ATL lead guard showed us on Twitter, his tattoo game is going to be much louder.
