Jimmy Kimmel is always hit and miss for me. But this segment of “Mean Tweets” is great. Basically, Kimmel has a bunch of NBA players (as well as Bob Costas, Greg Anthony and Bill Simmons) read mean tweets about themselves. The highlights: Rajon Rondo looking like Franklin the Turtle and DeAndre Jordan not knowing how to read. Read More »

The shooting guard position is made for the game’s most gifted scorers. In today’s game, it doesn’t matter if you’re your team’s first option or if you’re coming off the bench. A shooting guard’s job is to put the ball in the hole. It’s always been that way. Although the position isn’t as stacked with talent as it once was, it’s still home to some of the game’s best scorers. Read More »

The second round of the playoffs is underway and with only eight teams remaining, it means another eight have been eliminated from title contention. The offseason is the time for these teams to retool to prepare for deeper runs next season. The Denver Nuggets finished the year with a franchise-best 57-25 record and were the third seed in the Western Conference.

Every highlight from last night is going to be overshadowed by this wild Harrison Barnes two-hand reverse dunk, but this Andre Iguodala dunk deserves some attention too. Kevin Harlan‘s brain almost explodes: Read More »

In the battle of the game’s best jerseys, it’s funny that old man Andre Miller is using the same tactics to embarrass people in the NBA that the old, fat dude with the nasty back sweat is using to bust your ass at a local YMCA. Golden State/Denver was supposed to be crazy — uptempo and out of control — and instead, their Game 1 developed into a back-n-forth mud bath. Read More »

As we say goodbye to the NBA’s regular season, we thought we’d take a look at the Top 10 Plays of the final night of the first 82. Check out dunks from Derrick Williams, DeMarcus Cousins, Harrison Barnes, and a huge clutch three from parking lot from Chandler Parsons: Read More »

Here’s a prime example of Andre Iguodala‘s skill set and athleticism on full display: Against the Portland Trail Blazers, he swoops in to stuff a J.J. Hickson dunk, then flies down the court to finish a Denver fast break with a huge dunk. Read More »

Steve Blake offensive rebounds. Pau-to-Dwight lobs. Kobe Bryant M-V-P chants reverberating through the arena. With the way the Lakers’ 113-106 win in Portland ended, you would’ve thought all was right for L.A.
